From Babylon to Jerusalem

Ezra 7:9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Ezra 7 in context

Scripture Focus

9For upon the first day of the first month began he to go up from Babylon, and on the first day of the fifth month came he to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God upon him.
Ezra 7:9

Biblical Context

Ezra leaves Babylon and travels to Jerusalem. The verse attributes the success of the journey to the good hand of his God.

Neville's Inner Vision

Ezra's ascent is not a geographical fact but a state of consciousness: leaving the Babylon of limitation and entering the Jerusalem of fulfilled purpose. The first day and the five month mark signify a turning point in your inner calendar, a decision to begin a journey and to arrive by your own inner authority. The good hand of his God upon him is not an external force but the I AM, your awareness, steady and unseen. When you assume the feeling that you are already where you seek to be, you align with the current that carried Ezra home. Providence is your inner assurance that you are supported as you move from exile to return, from doubt to faith. The journey takes time, yet the moment of arrival is now the moment you accept that your God given hand guides every step, every thought, every feeling. Your task is to revise the sense of self that doubts and to stand as the person who has already arrived in Jerusalem in consciousness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume you are already in Jerusalem in consciousness; feel the good hand of God guiding your next step, and dwell in that certainty for a minute. Let the feeling of arrival linger until doubts soften.
