Inner Tyre, Divine Judgment

Isaiah 23:8-11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Isaiah 23 in context

Scripture Focus

8Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre, the crowning city, whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honourable of the earth?
9The LORD of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, and to bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth.
10Pass through thy land as a river, O daughter of Tarshish: there is no more strength.
11He stretched out his hand over the sea, he shook the kingdoms: the LORD hath given a commandment against the merchant city, to destroy the strong holds thereof.
Isaiah 23:8-11

Biblical Context

Isaiah 23:8-11 speaks of Tyre, a city of merchants and pride, facing a divine decree to stain glory and bring contempt on the earth. It portrays passing through the land and the sea as the LORD stretches out His hand to destroy the strongholds of the merchant city.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within your present sense of self, Tyre is a state of consciousness—prideful abundance, the enthronement of outward wealth, the strongholds of self-importance. The decree is not a distant judgment but a diagnostic whisper: the moment you entertain a life built on outer merchants and worldly honor, you entertain a role in that counsel against Tyre. The LORD of hosts is the I AM within you, and He purposes its correction to stain the glory you have mistaken for power. When you allow your inner river to pass through the land, you acknowledge that your strength is a river without a bank—unsteady, transient. The stretching hand over the sea is your awareness pressed outward, shaking kingdoms of belief that you are defined by status or possession. The command against the merchant city invites you to relinquish the old strongholds and re-create from the inner abundance that cannot be toppled by time. See that the outcome is not punishment but a waking revision, a clearing of space for a truer sense of worth and security grounded in the I AM.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume the feeling, I AM the source of all wealth, and revise a moment of lack into inner provision, sensing the river of life flowing through you.
