Inner Letters and Unity

Nehemiah 6:17-18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Nehemiah 6 in context

Scripture Focus

17Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters unto Tobiah, and the letters of Tobiah came unto them.
18For there were many in Judah sworn unto him, because he was the son in law of Shechaniah the son of Arah; and his son Johanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah.
Nehemiah 6:17-18

Biblical Context

Nehemiah 6:17–18 shows Judah's nobles sending letters to Tobiah, and many are tied to him through family ties, signaling a network of loyalty that undermines reform.

Neville's Inner Vision

That scene is a mirror of the inner life. The nobles' letters to Tobiah are not merely political; they are thoughts and loyalties moving within your own mind. Tobiah stands for a persistent inner doubt, a familiar habit of seeking security through old alliances. The claim 'he is the son-in-law' and 'his daughter is married into the family' marks how inner dispositions weave themselves into your sense of self, binding you to patterns you imagined would keep you safe. When many are sworn to him, it echoes the parts of you that have pledged themselves to fear rather than to the I AM that you truly are. Remember: these are inward movements of consciousness, not events outside. The moment you assume a different state—one of covenant loyalty to the divine presence in you—the imagined letters lose their authority. You order the scene from your eternal center, and unity becomes the actual texture of experience. Your inner city, once compromised by imagined alliances, is re-sealed by the certainty of I AM awareness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: For 5 minutes, sit with closed eyes and repeat, 'I AM that I AM; I govern the inner city.' Then visualize tearing up the letters and sealing the gates, letting unity saturate your mind.
