Inner Temple Builders Ezra 5:1-2
Ezra 5:1-2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ezra 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Prophets speak guidance to the people; leaders rise to build the temple with the prophets aiding them.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the inner drama of Ezra 5:1-2, the prophets are voices of consciousness awakening your Judah- Jerusalem state to possibility. Haggai and Zechariah symbolize the stirring of imagination and the discipline of will; their prophecies are invitations to align thought, feeling, and action with a built inner sanctuary. Zerubbabel and Jeshua represent your leading faculties—foundational purpose and practical faith—rising to lay the groundwork of the inner temple. The 'house of God' becomes the sanctuary within your mind where the I AM—God as awareness—dwells. The presence of God is not distant; it is the alignment you achieve when you let inner guidance govern your choices. When the prophets join your effort, you experience a cooperative destiny: thoughts, feelings, and deeds harmonize to manifest a worship that begins in consciousness. The true conquest is interior: as you build the temple in your mind, it precedes and shapes the outward life you inhabit.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and renew the vision: imagine the inner temple rising, guided by the prophets within; assent to the feeling that this work is done now, and revise any doubt as you say, 'I am building this temple now.'
