Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 7:2-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 7 in context

Scripture Focus

2Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD unto the land of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land.

3Now is the end come upon thee, and I will send mine anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense upon thee all thine abominations.

4And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity: but I will recompense thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

Ezekiel 7:2-4

Biblical Context

Ezekiel declares that the end has come to the land and that God will judge according to people's ways, punishing abominations without pity until the truth of the LORD is known.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Ezekiel's pronouncement, the land of Israel becomes the theater of the mind. The 'end' is not a distant catastrophe but a shift in consciousness—the closing of an old state that has run its course. 'An end... upon the four corners' marks the unbalancing of the four corners of your inner land: thoughts, feelings, decisions, and meanings. When God declares anger and recompense according to thy ways, He speaks of the natural law operating in you: every belief and habit returns to you as experience fitting its nature. The eye that will not spare signifies the law's impartiality: no favoritism in the economy of cause and effect. And yet 'ye shall know that I am the LORD' is a gift of inner knowing, the moment you recognize the I AM as the source of awareness behind all forms. To live this is to reverse your stance: you become the sovereign, not the victim, and you reframe your patterns by choosing and feeling as if the end of the old is already done, so the new state can emerge.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: In a quiet moment, say to yourself, 'The end has come to this old pattern; I am the LORD of my inner land,' and feel the new state beginning as if it already exists.
