Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 26:7-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 26 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

Ezekiel 26:7-11

Biblical Context

The Lord proclaims Tyre will be attacked from the north by Nebuchadrezzar with a vast host. He will breach walls and towers, slay the people, and topple the strongholds.

Neville's Inner Vision

When I align with the I AM, I see the siege not as punishment but as a cleansing of the mind. Tyre is a state of consciousness; its walls and gates are the boundaries I have believed about myself. Nebuchadrezzar, 'king of kings', is a ruling idea—an insistence that something external must change me. The north wind is a fresh conviction entering my awareness, bringing engines of war—disciplined thoughts that cut away the former structures. As the dust of horses covers the streets, I notice how fear and doubt spread like dust over my perception; yet this is not ruin but a disclosure: the old walls were never real in the I AM that I am. The breach in the gate and the collapse of towers symbolize the release of stagnant habits and false protections that kept me small. When the gates are shaken, I am reminded that the power to build and unbuild lies within. The final image—garrisons going down—reassures me that the complete surrender of false limitations is the birth of true freedom, the realization that God dwells as my awareness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume: I am the I AM; all inner walls dissolve, and the sense of limitation yields to a higher order within me. Rest in that feeling for a few minutes, noticing what thoughts arise as the old city falls away.
