Elam's Lineage Within You
Ezra 8:7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ezra 8 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Ezra 8:7 names the sons of Elam, notably Jeshaiah and seventy others, signaling an orderly inner gathering that supports a specific move or purpose.
Neville's Inner Vision
Ezra 8:7 offers more than a genealogical note; it is a symbol of your inner state. Elam represents a distinct attitude of consciousness you choose to awaken. The naming of Jeshaiah and the count of seventy are images, not histories, pointing to an organized circle of inner traits—qualities you marshal to fulfill a present aim. When you dwell in the I AM, these traits assemble around you, creating a circle of unity with Presence. The number seventy signals fullness: a complete generation of this state that can move with you and sustain you. The sons are inner dispositions—trust, harmony, courage, discernment—each stepping forward as needed. The Presence of God is not a distant fact but your awakening to the I AM within, a living, animating awareness. See yourself as Jeshaiah, and the seventy as your ready inner troop, gathering to carry your life into divine order and unity.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine Elam's sons as a circle of inner traits around you; affirm 'I AM' and feel their unity carrying you into Presence.
