Neville Goddard on Esther 8:12-14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Esther 8 in context

Scripture Focus

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 8:12-14

Biblical Context

On a specific day in all provinces, a decree is proclaimed authorizing the Jews to defend themselves against their enemies; messengers are sent to implement the command from Shushan the palace.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within every fear or delay, consciousness establishes a day, and the decree you publish in your mind becomes the law of your being. Ahasuerus, the outward king, embodies the I AM that commands action; the spaces of your mind (the provinces) are summoned to accept a new ruling. The thirteenth day of the twelfth month is not a calendar tick but a fixed moment in imagination when you declare, that from this instant I AM is protected by divine law. The Jews ready to avenge their enemies mirrors your inner fortitude facing appearances of threat, and the speed of the posts represents thoughts and feelings moving quickly into form, accelerated by the king's commandment—the inner decree that cannot be overturned. In this reading, the Kingdom of God is the living law of your I AM; judgment becomes the moment you choose righteousness as the rule. When you align with this decree, inner movements accelerate and your world begins rearranging itself to reveal truth and justice.

Practice This Now

Assume the inner decree is published today in every province of your mind; feel the readiness coursing through you as if victory is already achieved. Say to yourself, I AM that decree, and let the mental messengers hurry the result into form.
