Neville Goddard on Esther 9:1-2 - 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;)

2The Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt: and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them fell upon all people.

Esther 9:1-2

Biblical Context

Esther 9:1-2 describes a turn of power to the Jews as the day of deliverance approaches. Their gathering and the ensuing fear of others signal a profound reversal and protection in their story.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Esther story, the decree of the king is your I AM decree in consciousness; the enemies hoping to overpower the Jews are your old doubts and fears. When you listen to your inner decree, the moment in Adar becomes a symbolic clock setting the soul to deliverance. The fear that would oppress others becomes fear of your new authority; as your inner vision aligns with the truth that you are the I AM, your inner city gathers—your faculties, resources, and allies—under your leadership. The verse says the fear fell upon all people; so too, when you know you are protected, others reflect that protection, bowing to your certainty. This is not a historical event but a psychological reversal: you turn a decree into a lived reality by imagining yourself as the one who has power over your hurt. Your life reorganizes to match that inward verdict, and what once threatened you becomes the stage for your empowerment.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and align with the I AM. Repeat an unwavering decree of protection, feel your fortress of inner order forming, and know that what once threatened you yields to your inner authority.
