Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 7:16 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 7 in context

Scripture Focus

16But they that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, every one for his iniquity.

Ezekiel 7:16

Biblical Context

Those who escape the judgment are on the mountains like doves in the valleys, mourning for their iniquity. It portrays a scene of survivors reflecting on their wrongdoing.

Neville's Inner Vision

On Ezekiel 7:16 the mountains are the inner high ground where consciousness escapes the crowd of opinion. The dove, a symbol of quiet release, speaks of a mind that has risen above external judgment and moved into the peace of a new state. The mourning is not misery but the awakened awareness of separation from wrong action, a gentle turning toward alignment with the I AM that you are. In this view, those who escape are not fleeing a place but entering a state of heightened perception, where every past action is seen with compassionate honesty and becomes fuel for renewal. The text invites you to notice your own inner birdsong: when you feel the truth of your present divinity, you cannot be fully caught by guilt or fear. The moment you assume the end of the story you desire, the landscape itself shifts to reflect your inner change, and what was judged becomes understood as a stepping stone to return to your true self.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the mountain as your inner state; imagine you are the dove, free from judgment, mourning only as awareness. Then revise your self-view by saying I am the I AM, I have escaped, and feel it real now.
