Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 9:3-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 9 in context

Scripture Focus

3And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer's inkhorn by his side;

4And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.

Ezekiel 9:3-4

Biblical Context

God's glory departs the temple, and a linen-clad scribe is commanded to mark those who sigh and cry over Jerusalem's abominations.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville Goddard vantage, Ezekiel's scene reveals a drama of inner state. The departure of the glory signals a shift of awareness from outer spectacle to inward truth. The linen-clad scribe with the inkhorn represents the disciplined 'I AM' voice inside you that writes upon your mental forehead, distinguishing the faithful state that can endure amid chaos. To go through the midst of the city and set a mark on those who sigh and cry for the abominations is not about others; it's about your own inner weather—choosing to honor the sorrow for truth and to seal it within. The mark is a seal of your state of holiness and separation, ensuring that mercy can follow rather than judgment, and that the divine presence remains within you as consciousness. When glory departs outwardly, remember: your inner awareness is the true temple, and your imagining—your felt realization—keeps you clean, protected, and aligned with promise.

Practice This Now

Sit in stillness and assume you already bear the mark of awakened awareness; feel the sighing compassion for truth and the protective seal on your mind. Rest in the sense that the glory has moved to your inner threshold, and you are kept by the I AM.
