Neville Goddard on Esther 9:1 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Esther 9 in context

Scripture Focus

1Now in the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king's commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have power over them, (though it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had rule over them that hated them;)

Esther 9:1

Biblical Context

Plain sense: The verse shows a time when the enemies hoped to prevail, yet the turn of events places the Jews in the superior position.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville perspective, Esther 9:1 is not about ancient kings and edicts but about your inner calendar. The twelfth month and the thirteenth day are inner timings, symbols of a state of consciousness approaching a decisive moment. The enemies who 'hoped to have power over them' are the doubts, fears, and old conditions that once seemed to rule you. Yet the sentence 'the Jews had rule over them that hated them' is the inner forecast you must claim as true now: your higher self, your I AM, sits enthroned, and the decree you make in imagination governs the field. When you persist in the feeling that your end is already accomplished—freedom, protection, success—the outer appearances begin to align with that inner reality. The reversal happens as you maintain the inner conviction that you are the ruler of the inner realm, and thus the outer story shifts to reflect this domination of awareness. Your life becomes a courtroom where the verdict is already issued: you reign, and fear loses its power.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes, breathe, and assume the end: I AM the ruler of my inner scene; this reversal is already accomplished. Feel it real now by dwelling in that awareness for a few breaths.
