Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 26:13-21 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 26 in context

Scripture Focus

13And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease; and the sound of thy harps shall be no more heard.

14And I will make thee like the top of a rock: thou shalt be a place to spread nets upon; thou shalt be built no more: for I the LORD have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.

15Thus saith the Lord GOD to Tyrus; Shall not the isles shake at the sound of thy fall, when the wounded cry, when the slaughter is made in the midst of thee?

16Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and lay away their robes, and put off their broidered garments: they shall clothe themselves with trembling; they shall sit upon the ground, and shall tremble at every moment, and be astonished at thee.

17And they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and say to thee, How art thou destroyed, that wast inhabited of seafaring men, the renowned city, which wast strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, which cause their terror to be on all that haunt it!

18Now shall the isles tremble in the day of thy fall; yea, the isles that are in the sea shall be troubled at thy departure.

19For thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall make thee a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited; when I shall bring up the deep upon thee, and great waters shall cover thee;

20When I shall bring thee down with them that descend into the pit, with the people of old time, and shall set thee in the low parts of the earth, in places desolate of old, with them that go down to the pit, that thou be not inhabited; and I shall set glory in the land of the living;

21I will make thee a terror, and thou shalt be no more: though thou be sought for, yet shalt thou never be found again, saith the Lord GOD.

Ezekiel 26:13-21

Biblical Context

Ezekiel 26:13-21 proclaims Tyre's downfall: its songs cease, it becomes desolate, isles tremble at its fall, and the living glory is set elsewhere, signaling a complete upheaval of the old order.

Neville's Inner Vision

These verses reveal a map for inner transformation. The ceasing of thy songs is not punishment but a turning point in your inner weather: the old self with its vanity fades, allowing the I AM to be heard. To be made 'like the top of a rock' is to stand fixed in the NOW within consciousness, no longer dependent on outward praise. The 'isles' trembling are your former beliefs of separation; when you revise them, you feel release and the courage that follows. The lamentation of others becomes inner witnesses declaring, 'How is this possible?' precisely because the inner kingdom is being established in you. When I say, 'I will make thee desolate,' I am clearing the stage for glory to appear in the land of the living—your renewed awareness. The judgment you fear is the old order dissolving to yield a new, enduring state of peace. This is not destruction but the birth of a more true identity, where the I AM claims the throne of your heart and you live from that throne.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit in silence and revise the scene within—assume the old self is dissolved and the I AM establishes a new living order. Feel that new state as real, right now.
