Scripture Focus

9Then were the king's scribes called at that time in the third month, that is, the month Sivan, on the three and twentieth day thereof; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded unto the Jews, and to the lieutenants, and the deputies and rulers of the provinces which are from India unto Ethiopia, an hundred twenty and seven provinces, unto every province according to the writing thereof, and unto every people after their language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language.

Esther 8:9

Biblical Context

King's scribes are summoned to write Mordecai's command to the Jews and to all provinces in their languages, creating a universal decree.

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice how the outer decree becomes law only when it is written by the right author: your awareness. The king in this scene is the I AM that stands behind every event; the scribes are your disciplined thoughts and feelings that record a new order. Mordecai’s command represents your inner intention— the conviction that aligns with divine purpose. When this decree is sent to Jews and to all the provinces in their own languages, it shows that your assumed state must reach every aspect and form of life. The breadth—from India to Ethiopia—means every corner of your mind and every outward circumstance is touched by the same truth: you are the author of reality, and your inner decree governs the translation of imagination into experience. Do not seek results as if they were far away; realize that the moment you assume the state, it already is. The kingdom of God is the living principle that makes this possible, here and now, through the act of conscious writing and feeling.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, write a personal decree in your mind as the king's scribe, declaring your life already in order; then feel the truth in your chest as if it were done, and notice one area shifting to align with the decree.
