Neville Goddard on Esther 8:5 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Esther 8 in context

Scripture Focus

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:

Esther 8:5

Biblical Context

Esther 8:5 shows Esther asking the king to reverse the decree against the Jews. It is a depiction of inner reversal through favor and providence that lifts destruction into salvation.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's reading, the king symbolizes the inner decision or I AM that governs your life. Esther is a state of consciousness that speaks to that decision, and the letters of Haman are the habitual thoughts of doom you’ve accepted. To reverse is to revise the inner decree by abiding in a state of favor, the I AM’s response to your demand. When you feel truly favored—loved, protected, and guided—the decree against you loses its power and is overturned by the same consciousness that authored it. Providence comes as inner guidance and a felt sense of rightness, showing you that you are never at the mercy of outer conditions but under the governance of your own awareness. The removed threat becomes a symbol of misalignment dissolved; the reversal is your revision of belief into a reality where life and deliverance flourish.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly and imagine the inner king—your I AM—favoring you. State, 'Let it be written that the decree is reversed,' and dwell in the felt sense of deliverance until it is real.
