Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 7:10-12 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 7 in context

Scripture Focus

10Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded.

11Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness: none of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of any of theirs: neither shall there be wailing for them.

12The time is come, the day draweth near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn: for wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.

Ezekiel 7:10-12

Biblical Context

An imminent day of judgment arrives. Pride blossoms into a rod of violence, and the old order is consumed.

Neville's Inner Vision

Read as a touchstone for the inner man, Ezekiel’s words speak to the day when consciousness awakens to itself. The day is my dawning awareness, and the morning that has gone forth is the moment when I stop identifying with the ego. The rod that blossoms is the power I have given to thoughts born of pride; when that pride becomes force, it cries out as violence in my life. Yet this is not punishment coming from without, but the natural consequence of attention given to separation; the rod dissolves when I return my attention to the I AM. The line that none shall remain is the shedding of every role that does not serve the divine I within. The buyer and seller refrain from rejoicing or mourning because the inner market is transformed by a single belief: I am present as the one reality. Wrath upon the multitude is the collective storm of mind when many refuse to wake; I can interrupt it by assuming the truth of my unity with God. The time is come, and I choose to wake, to dwell as the I AM, and let creation respond from that silent center.
