Inner Kingdom Feast

Esther 1:4-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Esther 1 in context

Scripture Focus

4When he shewed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the honour of his excellent majesty many days, even an hundred and fourscore days.
5And when these days were expired, the king made a feast unto all the people that were present in Shushan the palace, both unto great and small, seven days, in the court of the garden of the king's palace;
6Where were white, green, and blue, hangings, fastened with cords of fine linen and purple to silver rings and pillars of marble: the beds were of gold and silver, upon a pavement of red, and blue, and white, and black, marble.
Esther 1:4-6

Biblical Context

Esther 1:4-6 describes the king's lavish display of splendor and a seven-day feast in Shushan, with rich hangings and marble furnishings.

Neville's Inner Vision

Esther's pageant of riches and a seven-day feast is a parable for the life of consciousness. The king represents your I AM—awareness—that shines its glory upon the inner court of your mind. The palace's curtains, colors, and marble illustrate the rich atmosphere you can cultivate by consent and imagination. When you imagine yourself stepping into this inner Shushan, you are not copying outward splendor; you are practicing the Kingdom of God as a felt reality. Wealth and pomp signal your power to clothe ideas in form, to invite states of fulfillment into your awareness. The great and small are the inner voices that observe and participate in your bloom, all gathered by your decision to inhabit abundance. The outer feast is the natural overflow of a steadfast inner assumption: as you feel the presence of richness now, your outer life aligns with it. In Neville’s terms, the scene invites you to revise, assume, and feel-it-real until your life reflects the inner kingdom you have chosen.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: For the next seven days, sit in inner stillness and feel yourself as the king within; inhabit the inner Shushan, taste the abundance, and declare 'I am wealth now' until the feeling is real. Let that feeling guide your days and watch outer life align with it.
