Neville Goddard on Ezra 6:21 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezra 6 in context

Scripture Focus

21And the children of Israel, which were come again out of captivity, and all such as had separated themselves unto them from the filthiness of the heathen of the land, to seek the LORD God of Israel, did eat,

Ezra 6:21

Biblical Context

The Israelites who returned from captivity, and all who separated themselves from the surrounding impurity, ate in the presence of the Lord. This signifies renewed worship produced by inner purification.

Neville's Inner Vision

Ezra 6:21 speaks not merely of a banquet but of a state of consciousness. The children of Israel who have come out of captivity are those who awaken to a new alignment, and the few who separate themselves from the filthiness of the heathen are those who refuse to mix with worn out beliefs and fears that once ruled their minds. When you stand in the awareness that the LORD God of Israel is within, you eat with Him; you partake of divine life by consenting to a purified, undivided mind. Separation here is inner discrimination: you choose not to feed on doubt, guilt, or external noise, but to honor the Presence within as your only real nourishment. The act of eating becomes the incorporation of a new state—imagination realized as fact—where you live not by appearances but by the truth of your I AM. Trust grows as you detach from the old stories and dwell in the assuredness that God is your immediate awareness, your source, your reality.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the state that you are separated from limitation and nourished by the Lord within. Habituate this inner feast until it becomes your ordinary perception.
