Neville Goddard on 2 Thessalonians 2:8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Thessalonians 2 in context

Scripture Focus

8And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

2 Thessalonians 2:8

Biblical Context

The verse presents the Wicked as a state that is revealed and then consumed by the Lord. In Neville’s terms, the destruction comes through the Spirit of your mouth—the creative word that dissolves false beliefs as inner light enters.

Neville's Inner Vision

Read 2 Thessalonians 2:8 as the inner drama of consciousness. The 'Wicked' is not a person but a stubborn habit of thought—fear, resentment, doubt—that arises when you identify with a lack larger than your I AM. The Lord here is your own awareness, the I AM that breathes through your imagination. When you align with the Spirit of His mouth—the living word you speak in the present tense—you release the old image; the 'brightness of His coming' is the inner light that reveals and dissolves it. You are not destroying anyone but the misperception within you by calling forth truth with your imaginative kiss of life. The moment you assume what is true of you—infinite peace, justice, and order—the wicked belief loses its stamina and is consumed by your awareness. This is prophecy becoming present: a shift in consciousness that makes judgment inwardly complete and justice outwardly natural.

Practice This Now

Assume the inner state that already exists: peace, justice, and order. Then revise any troubling belief by stating, 'This is revealed and dissolved by the Spirit of my mouth,' and feel the brightness now, as if it has already occurred.
