Neville Goddard on Ezra 3:7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezra 3 in context

Scripture Focus

7They gave money also unto the masons, and to the carpenters; and meat, and drink, and oil, unto them of Zidon, and to them of Tyre, to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea of Joppa, according to the grant that they had of Cyrus king of Persia.

Ezra 3:7

Biblical Context

The verse records money, food, drink, and oil given to workers to bring cedar from Lebanon, according to Cyrus's grant. It marks communal support for rebuilding after exile.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville’s voice: Your life is governed by the I AM, and the decree of Cyrus mirrors the inner grant of your own I AM. The money, meat, drink, and oil are not external commodities but the energies of consciousness fueling the builders within—your faculties of reason and imagination—raising a temple of awareness. The cedar from Lebanon represents the sturdy perception you pull from the limitless resource of your awareness, brought to you by your assumption. The “grant” of Cyrus is the inner consent you give to renew yourself; exile becomes the old story you consciously release as you align with the truth that your I AM has already provided what you seek. When you accept this internal grant, your life’s supply flows, and the restoration you seek unfolds as a natural act of consciousness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and rest in the I AM. Assume the grant is already issued for your personal restoration; picture the builders (your faculties) receiving money, meat, drink, oil, and cedar arriving to the work site, and feel the temple rising within you as real.
