Inner Records of the King

Ezra 4:14-15 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Ezra 4 in context

Scripture Focus

14Now because we have maintenance from the king's palace, and it was not meet for us to see the king's dishonour, therefore have we sent and certified the king;
15That search may be made in the book of the records of thy fathers: so shalt thou find in the book of the records, and know that this city is a rebellious city, and hurtful unto kings and provinces, and that they have moved sedition within the same of old time: for which cause was this city destroyed.
Ezra 4:14-15

Biblical Context

Ezra 4:14-15 describes officials referencing the king and a search of ancestral records to prove that the city is rebellious and has brought about destruction.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the outward scene is but a symbol of your inner state. The king on the throne is the I AM awareness that supplies and upholds you. To fear the king’s dishonor is to deny the living presence that makes your life possible. When the voices say to search the book of records of thy fathers, they invite you to consult a past story to justify a present condition. In Neville’s practice, the past is a construct of consciousness; you do not appeal to external archives but to the inner registers of your being. A “rebellious city” and “sedition within” signify inherited habits of doubt, resentment, or limitation that once thought to rule you. They may have seemed to destroy the city, yet that outcome is but a scene arising from your state. You have the power to reverse it by assuming a new state now: that the records in you declare peace, order, and divine worth. Imagination makes it so; your inner verdict precedes outward change, and the outer world follows the inner impression you keep in mind.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine the king's seal resting on your thoughts. State, 'I am maintained by the King,' and feel the reality of that assurance now.
