Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 6:8-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 6 in context

Scripture Focus

8Yet will I leave a remnant, that ye may have some that shall escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries.

9And they that escape of you shall remember me among the nations whither they shall be carried captives, because I am broken with their whorish heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes, which go a whoring after their idols: and they shall lothe themselves for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.

10And they shall know that I am the LORD, and that I have not said in vain that I would do this evil unto them.

Ezekiel 6:8-10

Biblical Context

A remnant will escape the sword among the nations. Those who escape will remember the Lord in exile, loathe their idols, and know that the Lord is Yahweh.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the remnant as a single state of consciousness within you that cannot be annihilated by outward calamity. Ezekiel’s sword represents the measurable world; the exiles are the restless thoughts that scatter your attention. Yet the moment you claim the memory of the Lord within your own I AM awareness, you begin to see that the whorish heart and the eyes that chase images are only a dream of separation. The remembrance loathes the old evils, not by struggle, but by a return to the knowing that you are the LORD of your own story. When this is felt as real, you discover that the evil spoken of in the outer scene is merely the invitation to re-enter the inner kingdom. The remnant does not come from without; it arises from within as you acknowledge and dwell in your true nature. Then you know, not by doctrine but by direct experience, that the I AM has not spoken in vain and that your exile is only a misread invitation to awaken.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: close your eyes, assume the mental posture of I AM, the steady remnant within, and revise any sense of lack. Feel it real that you are the Lord of your mind, and let that awareness dissolve every sense of exile.
