Neville Goddard on Ezra 5:6-8 - Mystical Bible 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:

7They sent a letter unto him, wherein was written thus; Unto Darius the king, all peace.

8Be it known unto the king, that we went into the province of Judea, to the house of the great God, which is builded with great stones, and timber is laid in the walls, and this work goeth fast on, and prospereth in their hands.

Ezra 5:6-8

Biblical Context

Ezra 5:6-8 describes a formal letter to the king reporting that Judea's temple work continues with peace, progress, and sturdy construction. It marks order aligning with divine purpose.

Neville's Inner Vision

The passage sits as a mirror of inner life. The copy of the letter is your inner decree to the I AM. Tatnai and his companions symbolize doubts and old identifications, while Darius represents the outer governor of circumstance. The house of the great God is the temple within you, built with great stones and timber that stand for solid thoughts and disciplined imagining. When you declare peace and align with the Presence of God, the work goes fast and prospers in your hands, not by external force but by inner conviction. Providence and guidance arise as you hold the inner state that matches your desire; you become the builder of a reality that reflects your conscious assumption. What is asked begins to take form as if the temple is already completed, radiating harmony through every corner of life.

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling of the completed temple now; mentally declare I AM the builder and this work proceeds swiftly. Spend a few minutes dwelling in that peaceful state and let it color your day.
