Swift Obedience of Inner Kingship

Ezra 6:13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Ezra 6 in context

Scripture Focus

13Then Tatnai, governor on this side the river, Shetharboznai, and their companions, according to that which Darius the king had sent, so they did speedily.
Ezra 6:13

Biblical Context

Tatnai and his companions obey the king's command and move quickly to complete the task. The verse emphasizes obedience to authority as a catalyst for swift action.

Neville's Inner Vision

Ezra 6:13 reveals that when the outer order echoes the inner king, movement becomes instantaneous. In Neville's terms, the governor on this side of the river and their companions are not separate messengers of history but inner states confirming a decree from the king, Darius—the symbol of the I AM within. When you inhabit the feeling that 'it is done' and treat your goal as already established by your own higher decree, your attention aligns with that decree and action is accelerated. The sense of obedience is not subservience to a distant ruler; it is alignment with your own abiding consciousness. Speed appears because there is no resistance between your current state and the desired outcome; the inner 'edict' passes through you as belief, expectation, and feeling, transforming outer conditions to reflect your inner state. The text becomes a parable: inner authority commands, outer events respond, and completion follows as a natural expression of your I AM awareness.

Practice This Now

Act as if the king's edict has already been issued in you; close your eyes, feel the I AM affirming 'it is done,' and proceed with the same calm speed. Let every next choice align with that decree in the present moment.
