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

Read Ezra 6 in context

Scripture Focus

6Now therefore, Tatnai, governor beyond the river, Shetharboznai, and your companions the Apharsachites, which are beyond the river, be ye far from thence:

7Let the work of this house of God alone; let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God in his place.

8Moreover I make a decree what ye shall do to the elders of these Jews for the building of this house of God: that of the king's goods, even of the tribute beyond the river, forthwith expenses be given unto these men, that they be not hindered.

Ezra 6:6-8

Biblical Context

The decree commands that the work of the temple be left alone and funded, so the builders can complete the house of God without hindrance.

Neville's Inner Vision

Ezra 6:6-8 reveals a pivotal inner drama. The figures beyond the river are not merely people but the lingering doubts pressing on your inner city. The decree to leave the work of this house of God alone is your I AM declaring that your conscious attention will not hinder the sacred task. The governor of the Jews and the elders symbolize your disciplined faculties—imagination, faith, steadfastness—rising to build the temple within. When the text speaks of the king’s goods and the tribute beyond the river being provided, it speaks of the reservoir of supply within your subconscious being mobilized for renewal. Providence then severs resistance and funds New Creation. You covenant loyalty with renewal by worshiping not from fear but from the I AM, living as if the temple already stands. The inner temple is your dwelling; its building is your spiritual victory, sustained by divine order, protection, and rightful abundance flowing through your consciousness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare, 'I AM the governor of my inner city, and I decree that this inner temple be built now with full supply.' Then feel the resources flowing from the subconscious treasury supporting the work.
