Neville Goddard on Ezra 6:8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezra 6 in context

Scripture Focus

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 6:8

Biblical Context

The king decrees that funds from his treasury be given to the elders rebuilding God's house, so the work proceeds without hindrance.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's voice: The decree in Ezra is not about external politics alone; it is a mirror for your own inner life. The king represents your I AM—your unbounded awareness. The elders are the focused faculties you deploy to build the 'house of God' within yourself—the character, faith, and vision you cultivate. The treasury and the tribute beyond the river symbolize the boundless resources of consciousness that can be drawn upon when you assume the state. When you accept that the supply is already yours and declare it forthwith, you align with the 'decree' that Ezra speaks. Your imagination becomes the builder, your feeling the motive power, and your reality the finished structure of a life in harmony with the divine plan. The current of provision flows not from without, but from within, wherever your I AM dwells. The world bends when you dwell in the end you seek, and your inner decree clears the way for its materialization.

Practice This Now

Assume the state: you are already provided for. Decree inwardly, 'I am supplied now,' and feel the wealth, time, and energy arriving as your own; let this feel-it-real settle in.
