Read Ezekiel 26 in context

Scripture Focus

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 26:20-21

Biblical Context

Ezekiel 26:20-21 speaks of bringing Tyre down to the pit and desolation, while promising glory in the land of the living and an end to its earthly terror.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider Ezekiel’s vision as a map of your inner state, not a geography. When God says I shall bring thee down into the pit, this is the moment you identify with a former self, a belief that you are separate from the good you seek. The pit is a place of old memory; descending into it is the act of conceding to limitation in imagination. Yet the Lord GOD, the I AM, promises glory in the land of the living—a shift of consciousness into present awareness. The terror you fear is the tail of a past self you have not released; it loses power the moment you no longer feed it with attention. You are told you shall be no more, which means you stop dwelling on the old identity and begin dwelling in the imagined end: a living, aware self that knows and expresses; a realm where glory is your natural condition. So imagine, feel, and assent: you are the land of the living; you are the glory that cannot be found in the pit because you have already emerged into it.
