Inner Priesthood Restored
Ezra 2:36-39 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ezra 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Ezra 2:36-39 lists the priestly lines and numbers the priests. It describes the orderly restoration of the priesthood.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Ezra’s list, you are shown an inner state rather than a history. The priests named—Jedaiah, Immer, Pashur, Harim—and the house of Jeshua symbolize stations of worship and service inside your mind. The counts signal the measure of your inner altar’s activity: how fully you bring holiness into daily life. The restoration is your capacity to revise your self-conception until your I AM feels unbroken, holy, and attentive. When you assume this inner restoration now, you begin to see outer life adjust, as imagination becomes reality and your environment mirrors the order established in consciousness. The verse invites you to claim, in the present, that your inner temple is intact, and through that assumption, your life follows the condition you hold. This is not ritual recollection but a waking of the self to its rightful authority: you are the priest in the temple of your own awareness, and the world rises to meet that inward restoration.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and picture yourself numbered among the priestly houses. Revise your self-image to 'I am restored to holiness now' and feel that reality as if it already is.
