Neville Goddard on Esther 8:11-14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Esther 8 in context

Scripture Focus

11Wherein the king granted the Jews which were in every city to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them, both little ones and women, and to take the spoil of them for a prey,

12Upon one day in all the provinces of king Ahasuerus, namely, upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.

13The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every province was published unto all people, and that the Jews should be ready against that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.

14So the posts that rode upon mules and camels went out, being hastened and pressed on by the king's commandment. And the decree was given at Shushan the palace.

Esther 8:11-14

Biblical Context

The king issues a single-day decree allowing the Jews to defend themselves across all provinces; the command is published so all may prepare for deliverance.

Neville's Inner Vision

Esther 8:11-14 becomes a map of inner deliverance. The king’s grant is not a history lesson but a symbol of your own I AM authority. The Jews are your united faculties standing for life, gathering to stand for what you will accept as true. The command to destroy and slay the power would attack them translates to annihilating the imagined power of fear, limitation, and lack within you. The one-day deadline points to a decisive moment in your inner calendar: a fixed consciousness where you refuse to entertain derailment any longer. The copy of the decree published in every province mirrors how your conviction must radiate through all your mental states—thoughts, emotions, habits, perceptions. The speed of the messengers on mules and camels shows how quickly the imagination, once truly settled, travels to every corner of your life. When the decree is proclaimed in Shushan, the palace of your mind, you have ordered your deliverance; now, action and alignment follow.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, close your eyes, and declare I AM the deliverer of my life. Feel the inner decree taking root across all faculties, and imagine the sense of safety spreading through every chamber of your mind, now.
