Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 9:6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 9 in context

Scripture Focus

6Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.

Ezekiel 9:6

Biblical Context

The verse presents a cleansing that begins in the sanctuary, purging those deemed unmarked. It reads as an inner process of purification and renewal in consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Read as a soul's inner drama, Ezekiel 9:6 indicates that judgment starts within the mind. The slaughter of the old and unmarked represents the expulsion of stale identities and fear-based patterns, not violence from without. The mark spared is the inner seal of awareness—the recognition of your true I AM. Begin at the sanctuary by turning your attention inward, for that is where images arise and fade. As you realize you are the I AM, watch the old habits, doubts, and identities bow away before the sovereign you have chosen to be. The ancient men before the house symbolize centuries of self-definition that crumble when confronted by the living certainty of God within. When you insist on your divine state, the purging is not punishment but the natural pruning that makes space for wholeness. The instant you claim the witness and ruler within, the mark shines and your temple is renewed.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the I AM as your present reality. Revise one limiting belief by declaring I am awake now, until the certainty settles in your chest.
