Inner Temple Of Completion
Ezra 6:14-15 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ezra 6 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The elders rebuilt the temple and prospered as prophecy moved the work forward. They finished by obeying God’s command and the king’s decree in due time.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the Ezra tale, the temple is not brick alone but a state of consciousness you build by listening to your inner prophets and aligning with the higher decree. The elders are your faculties—discernment, intention, faith—that take up the task when inspired by Haggai’s and Zechariah’s voices within. Their prophesying is your imaginative assurance that the unseen order is already established; the commandment of God and the king’s edicts are the outer alignments that give form to your inner conviction. As you hold this inner decree, you prosper in your work because you have become the inner temple first, and the outer world follows the proportional order of your inner state. The finishing on the appointed time is your moment of inner recognition: you can say, I am the house completed by the perfect order that governs all; you are living in the sixth year of a timeless building. Remember: an external project completes when, inside, the image of completion stands clearly in your awareness and you act from that assured state.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Pick one goal and, for a few minutes, assume the finished state as already true; feel the gratitude and act from that inner conviction. Then write a one-sentence decree and repeat it daily until it sticks.
