Read Ezekiel 36 in context

Scripture Focus

13Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they say unto you, Thou land devourest up men, and hast bereaved thy nations;

14Therefore thou shalt devour men no more, neither bereave thy nations any more, saith the Lord GOD.

15Neither will I cause men to hear in thee the shame of the heathen any more, neither shalt thou bear the reproach of the people any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nations to fall any more, saith the Lord GOD.

Ezekiel 36:13-15

Biblical Context

God declares that the land will no longer devour its people or bear the reproach of nations; the burden of shame and downfall is lifted. The message points to a future restoration where judgment yields to mercy.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the prophet speaks the language of inner life. The 'land' is your own state of awareness; when it says you devour up men and bereave nations, it reveals a mind ruled by fear, appetite, and blame. But the Lord GOD announces a reversal: you shall devour no more, neither bereave your nations anymore. This is not a geographic reform but a change of your inner weather. When you realize that you are the I AM, you stop identifying with the compulsion to consume others with judgment, with the urge to be judged by them, or to bear their shame as your own. The old outer reproach dissolves because you have ceased feeding on it; you no longer hear the crowd's 'shame,' for you are the solitary witness of your own reality. In this shift, the inner nation is restored—reproaches melt, and a new realm of harmony and balance arises within you. Mercy replaces accusation; the imagination remits what the ego once made permanent.
