Neville Goddard on Esther 2:16-18 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Esther 2 in context

Scripture Focus

16So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.

17And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.

18Then the king made a great feast unto all his princes and his servants, even Esther's feast; and he made a release to the provinces, and gave gifts, according to the state of the king.

Esther 2:16-18

Biblical Context

Esther is taken to the king and made queen through grace and favor. The event mirrors an inner state of consciousness rising to authority and blessing the life around it.

Neville's Inner Vision

Esther 2:16-18 is not a tale of chance but a revelation of your inner state becoming king. Esther is the state that the I AM—your true, always-present awareness—loves and elevates. When you align with that inner state, it receives the royal crown and is proclaimed queen over Vashti’s resistance within you. The crown you place upon her head is the realization that you are already sovereign in consciousness; the feast and gifts are the demonstrations of joy, abundance, and release that flow from that sovereign state into the provinces of your life. Grace is not earned; it is the natural acknowledgment of your I AM likeness, the radiance that makes others respond to you with warmth, receptivity, and harmony. The outward story mirrors your inward authority—the world becomes a stage for the inner coronation. To practice: assume you are already queen of your inner realm. Feel the crown of awareness upon your head, know that you are loved by the Power that animates you, and allow the scenes you desire to unfold as expressions of that now-present kingship.
