Linen Messenger Within

Daniel 12:7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Daniel 12 in context

Scripture Focus

7And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
Daniel 12:7

Biblical Context

Daniel 12:7 depicts a linen-clad messenger above the waters, promising a finite period of testing until the holy power is scattered, after which events complete.

Neville's Inner Vision

Let the linen-clad man be your I AM, standing above the currents of life—the river of restless thoughts. When he lifts his hands to heaven and swears by the Living One, he reveals a timeless law: a finite time allotted to the old belief in separation and struggle. Time here is inner tempo, not a calendar. 'Time, times, and a half' marks the stretch of your present consciousness before the breakthrough comes. The scattering of the power of the holy people is the dispersal of inherited beliefs that you are small, unworthy, or cut off from God. As you complete this inner scattering—by choosing a higher state as already true—the old patterns lose their grip and outward appearances resolve. The promise is not about external history, but about your inner state and its power to redraw events. The method is simple: assume the end, feel the wish fulfilled now, and rest in the awareness that the I AM is the life moving every scene. Hold to that conviction until the present moment mirrors it back.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, picture the linen messenger on the quiet river of your mind, raise two hands to heaven, and declare, 'It is finished in me now.' Then adopt the feeling of the fulfilled state: I AM, as if this new end is already true, and observe the moment as the evidence.
