Ezekiel 27:12-24

Biblical Context

The passage catalogs many nations trading riches, signaling Tyre’s vast, multi-faceted wealth. It shows that wealth flows through a marketplace of goods and values, pointing to a larger inner economy.

Neville's Inner Vision

See Ezekiel’s ledger as a mirror of your inner market. The names Tarshish, Javan, Dedan, Sheba are not strangers but states of consciousness—each offering a kind of wealth: silver and iron, horses, ivory, emeralds, honey, oil, purple, linen. In truth, the wares are the thoughts, feelings, and powers you entertain. You are the I AM, the watcher who calls forth these goods by imagination. When you dwell in the assumption that abundance is your natural condition, the inner movements align and the market opens. You become the merchant who trades in ideas and experiences, not merely in goods. To revise lack, address it in imagination: picture the chest of cedar, the trove of gold, the spices already yours, and feel the reality of possession. The multiplicity of traders and wares illustrates the endless provision available in your mind. By feeling-it-real this inner transaction—assessing, accepting, and affirming you are the source—your outer life begins to reflect the inner wealth you have assumed.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes, assume the state “I AM abundance” and feel the weight of cedar, gold, and spices in your hands as proof of provision. Then let that assumption linger until it becomes your natural way of seeing and living.
