Esther's Inner Decree

Esther 8:4-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Esther 8 in context

Scripture Focus

4Then the king held out the golden sceptre toward Esther. So Esther arose, and stood before the king,
5And said, If it please the king, and if I have found favour in his sight, and the thing seem right before the king, and I be pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews which are in all the king's provinces:
6For how can I endure to see the evil that shall come unto my people? or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?
Esther 8:4-6

Biblical Context

Esther receives royal favor and pleads to reverse the decree against her people. Her action embodies a decisive inner turning point where consciousness chooses salvation over destruction.

Neville's Inner Vision

Esther’s rising before the king is your inner awakening turning toward the light. The king’s extended sceptre is the clear sign that your awareness is ready to acknowledge and receive; it is not the outer event but your inner acceptance that matters. Haman's letters are the stubborn beliefs of fear and doom you have allowed to rule in the provinces of your mind; Esther's plea is the revision of those beliefs through the power of imagining a different outcome. When you say 'let it be written to reverse,' you are not asking a distant king to change history—you are declaring that the decree of limitation can be rewritten in your own consciousness. The question 'How can I endure...' becomes the conscience of compassion that refuses to witness the destruction of your kindred within you. By standing in the light of this inner king and accepting its favor, you awaken to providence guiding each circumstance. The reversal is not simply an event; it is the state of awareness itself, a new decree that salvation is already present in your life.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and picture the inner king extending the golden sceptre to you. State in the present tense that the old decree is reversed and that you are already saved and favored.
