Read Ezra 10 in context

14Let now our rulers of all the congregation stand, and let all them which have taken strange wives in our cities come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the fierce wrath of our God for this matter be turned from us.

Ezra 10:14

Biblical Context

Ezra 10:14 shows the rulers and the congregation gathering with the elders and judges to deal with those who have taken foreign wives, until God's anger is turned away.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the mind's theatre, Ezra 10:14 speaks as a summons of your higher states — rulers, elders, judges — to review what has aligned itself as alien to your true covenant. The 'strange wives' stand for beliefs, habits, and appetites that pretend loyalty while steering you from the I AM. The 'fierce wrath' is the inner turbulence that erupts when you forget your unity; the cure is to convene the inner court and revise with the certainty that you are one with the covenant. By delegating oversight to your inner authorities you reverse suspicion into alignment, and you practice purity and integrity as an ongoing act of self-government. The chapter models the conscious decision to honor loyalty to the I AM, dissolving inner strife by elevating awareness over impulse.

Practice This Now

Imitate the scene in your imagination: summon your inner rulers, elders, and judges; declare your covenant of loyalty to the I AM, and openly revise any belief or appetite that does not serve it; feel the alignment as real.
