Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 26:17-18 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 26 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

Ezekiel 26:17-18

Biblical Context

It presents a seafaring, renowned city fallen in judgment, and the isles in the sea trembling at its departure.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this oracle, the sea-power city stands as a symbol of a life built on external status and fear. Its fall in the inner sense dissolves the ego’s outer dominion, and the isles—the scattered aspects of consciousness—tremble as their anchor departs. Neville teaches that every script is a portrait of inner states; the lamentations are the mind resisting a new realization of being. Do not seek to repair the city outside, but awaken to the I AM that remains unaffected by appearances. When you claim 'I AM,' you invite a new arrangement of images: the old city fades, the isles settle, and a unified inner kingdom arises. The shaking is simply the mind reordering itself to be governed by God within, not by memory of power.
