Inner Temple Decree Revealed

Ezra 5:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Ezra 5 in context

Scripture Focus

17Now therefore, if it seem good to the king, let there be search made in the king's treasure house, which is there at Babylon, whether it be so, that a decree was made of Cyrus the king to build this house of God at Jerusalem, and let the king send his pleasure to us concerning this matter.
Ezra 5:17

Biblical Context

Ezra 5:17 records a request to verify Cyrus's decree and draw from the king's treasury to rebuild the house of God in Jerusalem.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's language, the king is your I AM, the decree is your decided inner state, and the treasury is the boundless imagination you possess. When you search the treasury, you are not seeking outside permission but aligning your awareness with what you have already willed in imagination. The request for the king's pleasure is a soft invitation to your own will to cooperate with the wish, to let your inner power flow into outer expression. The rebuilding of the temple is the restoration of the living presence of God within you; it occurs not by outward decree alone but by your certainty that the inner decree exists and is active now. Do not chase events; revise the state until it feels real. As you dwell in the feeling that the decree is valid, the inner resources respond, and the outer scenery shifts to reflect your inner confirmation.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, place a hand on your chest, and assume: I AM decreed and I have the resources now. Feel the temple rebuilding interiorly and notice the sense of permission arriving.
