Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 26:3-12 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 26 in context

Scripture Focus

3Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Tyrus, and will cause many nations to come up against thee, as the sea causeth his waves to come up.

4And they shall destroy the walls of Tyrus, and break down her towers: I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her like the top of a rock.

5It shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD: and it shall become a spoil to the nations.

6And her daughters which are in the field shall be slain by the sword; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

7For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring upon Tyrus Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, a king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and companies, and much people.

8He shall slay with the sword thy daughters in the field: and he shall make a fort against thee, and cast a mount against thee, and lift up the buckler against thee.

9And he shall set engines of war against thy walls, and with his axes he shall break down thy towers.

10By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover thee: thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wheels, and of the chariots, when he shall enter into thy gates, as men enter into a city wherein is made a breach.

11With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all thy streets: he shall slay thy people by the sword, and thy strong garrisons shall go down to the ground.

12And they shall make a spoil of thy riches, and make a prey of thy merchandise: and they shall break down thy walls, and destroy thy pleasant houses: and they shall lay thy stones and thy timber and thy dust in the midst of the water.

Ezekiel 26:3-12

Biblical Context

Ezekiel prophesies Tyre's destruction—walls toppled, towers broken, and riches spoiled—signaling judgment on outward pride. The outer event mirrors an inward shift in allegiance and awareness.

Neville's Inner Vision

See Tyre not as a city of stone but as a state of consciousness called pride and separation. When the Lord says He is against Tyre, He is not attacking a place outside of you; He is asserting the power of your I AM to dissolve the belief in an erected self. The 'many nations' rushing up like sea-waves are the ceaseless thoughts, fears, and ambitions that press you to defend that false self. The scraping of dust and the reduction to 'the top of a rock' symbolize the moment when the ego is stripped to its core—an inner revelation that you are not defined by walls, nets, or spoils but by awareness that remains untouched by external storms. The siege by Nebuchadrezzar is the inner friction that forces a revision of identity—from grasping for possessions and praise to resting in the rock of your true nature. If you welcome this inner demolition as purification, you recognize that what remains is a solid awareness—your I AM—that can stand while the old structures disintegrate. Out of this collapse, a more spacious life can be spread.

Practice This Now

Assume you are the I AM; close your eyes and feel the walls of pride crumble, leaving a rock of awareness. Then declare, I AM that I AM, and let that sufficiency fill you.
