Neville Goddard on Esther 4:6-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Esther 4 in context

Scripture Focus

6So Hatach went forth to Mordecai unto the street of the city, which was before the king's gate.

7And Mordecai told him of all that had happened unto him, and of the sum of the money that Haman had promised to pay to the king's treasuries for the Jews, to destroy them.

8Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given at Shushan to destroy them, to shew it unto Esther, and to declare it unto her, and to charge her that she should go in unto the king, to make supplication unto him, and to make request before him for her people.

9And Hatach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.

Esther 4:6-9

Biblical Context

Esther's messenger Hatach carries Mordecai's report to Esther at the king's gate, recounting the plot and the decree against the Jews, and the charge that Esther plead for her people before the king.

Neville's Inner Vision

Esther represents the inner state facing a decree that seems to threaten all. The report of Mordecai and the money offered to destroy them is the outer data your attention gathers as evidence. Hatach, the messenger, is the inner faculty that carries the sense of the problem to the center of consciousness. The copy of the decree is a memory of limitation, and showing it to Esther is the turning of awareness toward the perceived obstacle. The charge to go in unto the king to plead for her people is an invitation to enter the I Am, to petition from the seat of the highest awareness. When Esther consents to go before the king, the outer decree loses its final authority because you recognize that the king resides within you, and your power to protect the many lies in the I Am. The events reveal fear as a belief that can be revised. Your people symbolize the unity and prosperity that emerge when you align with the inner ruler and act from faith rather than timid reaction.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, close your eyes, and imagine Hatach delivering the report to your inner Esther. Then picture that you have already spoken to the inner king for your people and feel the relief as real.
