Read Ezekiel 25 in context

Scripture Focus

2Son of man, set thy face against the Ammonites, and prophesy against them;

3And say unto the Ammonites, Hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou saidst, Aha, against my sanctuary, when it was profaned; and against the land of Israel, when it was desolate; and against the house of Judah, when they went into captivity;

4Behold, therefore I will deliver thee to the men of the east for a possession, and they shall set their palaces in thee, and make their dwellings in thee: they shall eat thy fruit, and they shall drink thy milk.

5And I will make Rabbah a stable for camels, and the Ammonites a couching place for flocks: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

6For thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast clapped thine hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced in heart with all thy despite against the land of Israel;

7Behold, therefore I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and will deliver thee for a spoil to the heathen; and I will cut thee off from the people, and I will cause thee to perish out of the countries: I will destroy thee; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.

8Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Moab and Seir do say, Behold, the house of Judah is like unto all the heathen;

9Therefore, behold, I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities which are on his frontiers, the glory of the country, Bethjeshimoth, Baalmeon, and Kiriathaim,

10Unto the men of the east with the Ammonites, and will give them in possession, that the Ammonites may not be remembered among the nations.

11And I will execute judgments upon Moab; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

12Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and hath greatly offended, and revenged himself upon them;

13Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also stretch out mine hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword.

14And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall do in Edom according to mine anger and according to my fury; and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord GOD.

15Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with a despiteful heart, to destroy it for the old hatred;

16Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will stretch out mine hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethims, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast.

17And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.

Ezekiel 25:2-17

Biblical Context

God pronounces judgment on the Ammonites for their scorn of Israel and predicts their defeat and dispersion as the Lord's sovereign act. The passage also frames exile and return as the rhythm of divine justice.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, Ezekiel’s oracle is a map of your own inner theater. The Ammonites are not distant tribes but stubborn habits of thought—clapping hands against your sanctuary, the place where you know you are I AM. When you hear a memory mock your worth, or a grievance justify your pride, you are hearing the inner Ammonite rejoice. The Lord GOD's word is a call to turn away from outer judgments and to set your face against the belief that you are merely at enmity with 'others.' In your imagination, deliverance comes by inviting an eastward movement—an interior shifting that plants new palaces within you, feeding your inner life rather than your old fears. The "I will destroy thee" is the release of false identities, the cessation of old encounters that keep you in exile from your true home. As you align with the I AM, the nations you think threaten you become witnesses to the inevitability of your inner sovereignty. The outer scenes then answer to the inner decree: you know that you are the LORD because you have chosen to dwell in everlasting awareness rather than in reaction.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the I AM as your living state; revise a lingering judgment toward self as a reclaiming of wholeness, then feel-imagined reality respond as your inner world aligns with that decree. Breathe into it until the felt truth settles.
