Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 26:19-21 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 26 in context

Scripture Focus

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 26:19-21

Biblical Context

The passage describes a desolate city being brought low, with deep waters and a descent into the pit, followed by the restoration of glory in the land of the living and the erasure of the old self.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the verse as a map of the inner state. The desolate city is a belief about yourself that feels barren. The rising deep and waters are the tides of feeling that threaten to drown that old story. Being brought down with the pit and the people of old time is the allowing of the past patterns to surface so they may be reseen and dissolved. Then comes the declaration that glory will be set in the land of the living. Glory is not a distant event but the I AM waking to itself in your consciousness. The old form, the terror you fear, is not punishment but a necessary melting away of limitation; you are not removed but repositioned into a living awareness. When you hold the assumption that you are the I AM here and now, the ruin softens, the pit becomes a pathway, and the living land arises within you as experiences align to your inner truth.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and assume the state of the I AM as your present reality. Feel the living glory rising within, and revise any sense of desolation by affirming I am the living God within now.
