Read Ezekiel 28 in context

Scripture Focus

21Son of man, set thy face against Zidon, and prophesy against it,

22And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Zidon; and I will be glorified in the midst of thee: and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her.

23For I will send into her pestilence, and blood into her streets; and the wounded shall be judged in the midst of her by the sword upon her on every side; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

24And there shall be no more a pricking brier unto the house of Israel, nor any grieving thorn of all that are round about them, that despised them; and they shall know that I am the Lord GOD.

25Thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the people among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, then shall they dwell in their land that I have given to my servant Jacob.

26And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall build houses, and plant vineyards; yea, they shall dwell with confidence, when I have executed judgments upon all those that despise them round about them; and they shall know that I am the LORD their God.

Ezekiel 28:21-26

Biblical Context

The passage speaks against Zidon, announcing that the Lord will judge and sanctify her. It also promises Israel's gathering, restoration, and secure, prosperous dwelling in their land.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Ezekiel 28:21-26 the speaker reveals a map of consciousness: Zidon is not a city to mend but a state to undo—a stubborn belief that divides you from your true self. When you set your face against it, you are declaring that the I AM within will be glorified in your inner landscape. The judgments are not punishment but mental revisions, clearing away pricking briars and thorns of fear so the scattered house of Israel—your dispersed thoughts and desires—can be gathered into one homeland. Sanctification happens in your inner sight, visible to the nations of your fellow thoughts as you claim safety, dwell in your land, and plant vineyards of purpose. As you persist, the inner exile ends; you return to your native vitality, and you learn to live with confidence, building, growing, and knowing you are the LORD your God.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes. Personify Zidon as a stubborn belief in lack within your mind. Then declare softly, 'I am against you, Zidon; I am the I AM of my being. I gather every scattered thought, sanctify them, and dwell safely now—building, planting, and thriving in renewed life.'
