Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 27:12-14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 27 in context

Scripture Focus

12Tarshish was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of all kind of riches; with silver, iron, tin, and lead, they traded in thy fairs.

13Javan, Tubal, and Meshech, they were thy merchants: they traded the persons of men and vessels of brass in thy market.

14They of the house of Togarmah traded in thy fairs with horses and horsemen and mules.

Ezekiel 27:12-14

Biblical Context

It describes Tarshish and other nations as merchants trading riches—silver, iron, tin, and lead—and even people, vessels of brass, in thy market. The scene centers on exchange and value in a vast, symbolic market.

Neville's Inner Vision

It is not about distant lands but about the inner economy of your own mind. Tarshish is the state of abundance you have identified with as the source of wealth; Javan, Tubal, and Meshech stand for the faculties that traffic in belief and projection—the mind’s traders who barter the persons of men and brass in your market. Your true currency is consciousness, and every outward trade points to a movement inside: in moments of lack, you still perceive a market's activity because the I AM is consciousness presenting itself as form. The warning in Ezekiel is not about history but about your inner idolatry—the mistaken worship of things instead of the One I AM. When you revise the scene so that the market is a natural outflow of your being, you loosen dependence on external goods. Wealth becomes the felt reality of your inner state rather than the commodity you chase. By affirming 'I am wealth' and letting that feeling real, you become the merchant who trades in life from the already-present abundance.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: In stillness, picture the inner market where your beliefs trade with your desires; see abundance flow from your I AM as natural exchange. Silently affirm, 'I am wealth,' and feel that reality settling into your body as real.
