Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 9:8-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 9 in context

Scripture Focus

8And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem?

9Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The LORD hath forsaken the earth, and the LORD seeth not.

Ezekiel 9:8-9

Biblical Context

Ezekiel 9:8–9 depicts the prophet's lament as judgment looms, and God explains the ruin comes from the people's deep-seated iniquity and belief that they are forsaken.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's view, the slaughter and fury are inner states of consciousness fading away as the I AM returns to awareness. Ezekiel's fall and cry signal your awakening to the belief that you are separated from God. The lines about iniquity and a land full of blood read as a mental landscape saturated with fear, guilt, and the conviction that the Lord is absent. The statement that the Lord seeth not is the ego's claim of consciousness without awareness of its own creation. The residue of Israel are parts of yourself still clinging to separation; until you revise those identifications, the external world mirrors the internal climate. The cure is simple: fix your state by re-anchoring in the I AM, affirm unity, and live from that presence. When you revise the inner narrative, the 'exile' of your mind returns to the inner kingdom and judgment dissolves into mercy.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and breathe into the I AM. Assume the feeling: 'I am the Lord, I AM present now.' Revise the sense of abandonment, and feel the inner vision align with wholeness as you go about your day.
