Neville Goddard on Esther 3:12-14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Esther 3 in context

Scripture Focus

12Then were the king's scribes called on the thirteenth day of the first month, and there was written according to all that Haman had commanded unto the king's lieutenants, and to the governors that were over every province, and to the rulers of every people of every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and sealed with the king's ring.

13And the letters were sent by posts into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a prey.

14The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every province was published unto all people, that they should be ready against that day.

Esther 3:12-14

Biblical Context

Neville's Inner Vision

Behold the decree as a symbol of inner weather. The king's signet and sealed writing mirror fixed beliefs you have allowed to dominate your consciousness. The Jews represent your true nature, vitality, and the good you fear losing; their destruction symbolizes an inner attempt to erase parts of yourself you deem dangerous or other. The reach into every province echoes how a single misbelief travels through all the rooms of mind—words, memories, habits—creating a global climate of threat. The spoil and plunder point to the inner claim that life is a contest for possession rather than a harmony of being. Yet this is only a dream in the mind. The cure is to reverse the decree by assuming the opposite state: you are protected, united, and abundant; feel the truth of your I AM rewriting the script; let imagination create the new reality and publish it in every corner of your awareness. When you revise in consciousness, the outer world follows, reflecting a new decree of life rather than destruction.
