Neville Goddard on Ezra 9:15 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezra 9 in context

Scripture Focus

15O LORD God of Israel, thou art righteous: for we remain yet escaped, as it is this day: behold, we are before thee in our trespasses: for we cannot stand before thee because of this.

Ezra 9:15

Biblical Context

Ezra 9:15 presents a confession of God's righteousness and Israel's unworthiness, as they stand before Him in trespasses, unable to approach on their own.

Neville's Inner Vision

Ezra 9:15 speaks through confession: God's righteousness is the ground, while our sense of trespass is only a movement of the mind. In the Nevilleian key, the Lord is the I AM within—the unwavering consciousness that you are right where awareness stands. Righteousness is not an action of the past but a present, chosen state of being. They admit they cannot stand before that consciousness by their own power, a moment of humility that reveals the illusion of separation. Yet this admission does not doom them; it opens a doorway. When you revise the scene in imagination, you do not deny wrong; you simply refuse to let it define you. You comply with the truth that the I AM endures as your very breath, your baseline, your permanent reality. Stand before the inner light as one already accepted, and let mercy rise as your immediate feeling. The trespass becomes a signpost, pointing you back to consciousness, where forgiveness is already complete and you are made one with God.
