Inner Return Of The Remnant
Ezra 2:21-35 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ezra 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Ezra 2:21-35 lists the returned families and towns, a census of the remnant as they come back from exile to rebuild. The passage translates geography into a map of inner states awaiting renewal.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Ezra's census, the inner remnant awakens. Each named place is not a geography but a state of consciousness; Bethlehem as the birthplace of belief, Netophah as quiet recall, Anathoth as sacred boundary, Kirjatharim as covenant with inner law, Senaah as the harvest of understanding. The exile and return echo the mind's shifts from confusion to fidelity under Providence. The counting is not for gain but a creative movement of the I AM: awareness enumerating possibilities, aligning with a new covenant, and moving from disorder into wholeness. In Neville's terms, what is counted becomes your internal geography you inhabit. The secret is to feel that this census is already finished in your inner I AM; you are not seeking outside but revising your inner agreement, re-visioning exile as forgetting who you are, and returning to the sanctuary where guidance abides. The practice is to dwell in the sense of inner remnant as you would a named city within you, trusting Providence to guide each inner movement toward restoration.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume you are the remnant returning to your inner Jerusalem; name a single inner state (Bethlehem, for example) and feel it real as the census settles within you.
