Inner Fire of Ezekiel 5:2
Ezekiel 5:2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ezekiel 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Verse 5:2 divides the people into three parts: one third burned, one third smitten, and one third scattered, with a sword pursued after them. It presents judgment and dispersion as a complete inner allegory.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the Neville Goddard style, the city is your consciousness; the three parts are inner dispositions you permit in imagination. The burning fire is the cleansing heat of awareness that consumes a belief you have mistaken for reality. The second third, struck with a knife, represents cutting away a habit, fear, or identity you defend as yourself. The final third, scattered in the wind, is the release of old vibrations—images of lack, limitation, or anger that no longer serve you. And I will draw out a sword after them is your awareness itself standing as the discerner, ready to separate appearance from truth. This is not punishment from a distant God but a reordering of your inner kingdom, so that I AM, the universal you, remains intact behind the scenes. When you enter into this triad with a calm assumption, the mind becomes a stage where new possibilities arise, and the world outside begins to reflect the triune harmony you practice. Begin by assuming you already inhabit a self that endures such cleansing and freedom.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: Assume you are the I AM of your own inner city and revise a single belief as no longer true. Feel it real now and imagine the mind as a clear stage after the burn and cut, ready for new possibilities.
