Inner Decree to the King

Ezra 5:6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Ezra 5 in context

Scripture Focus

6The copy of the letter that Tatnai, governor on this side the river, and Shetharboznai, and his companions the Apharsachites, which were on this side the river, sent unto Darius the king:
Ezra 5:6

Biblical Context

Ezra 5:6 records the copy of a report sent to King Darius by Tatnai and his companions. It reveals the outward processes of authority and oversight surrounding the temple rebuilding.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville’s voice, the line is not about a distant Persian king but about the king within your own I AM. The river-minded Tatnai and companions symbolize the beliefs and duties coursing through your inner life, bearing a message to the inner throne. Darius stands for the omnipotent power that presides over all experience; when you set forth this letter, you declare the law of your consciousness. The companions (Apharsachites) echo the conditions and social pressures that accompany any decision, yet the act remains a declaration: what you accept as true is being set into motion. The Kingdom of God arises not in some external scaffold but within your awareness, shaped by the inner laws you refuse to doubt. The verse, then, is a mirror: outward correspondence mirrors an inner decree already established in consciousness. Your task is to feel the king has received your message and that your authority is recognized by the inner powers that govern your life.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: close your eyes and write the decree to the King within, revise until you feel it is already accepted, and sit in the certainty that your request is granted.
