Neville Goddard on Daniel 6:24-27 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Daniel 6 in context

Scripture Focus

24And the king commanded, and they brought those men which had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake all their bones in pieces or ever they came at the bottom of the den.

25Then king Darius wrote unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you.

26I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, and stedfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end.

27He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.

Daniel 6:24-27

Biblical Context

Daniel is cast into a lion's den and delivered; the decree proclaims the living, eternal God whose kingdom endures.

Neville's Inner Vision

Daniel's story is told not as history but as the inward drama of consciousness. The den of lions is the restless theater of fear, doubt, and egoic accusation that would crush your sense of safety. The king's decree that all tremble before the God of Daniel is the moment your awareness declares allegiance to a Power greater than any mortal threat—the I AM within you, the living God whose kingdom cannot be destroyed. Daniel is not a man pressed by circumstances; he is the state of consciousness that remains unshaken while appearances howl. When you awaken to the truth that God delivers and rescues, you witness the lions' mastery collapse into stillness; the power of the lions is only the belief that you are at the mercy of outer conditions. The miracles—signs and wonders in heaven and earth—are the constant activity of your inner I AM when you align with it. Your kingdom endures beyond time because it is the eternal, unassailable presence within you.

Practice This Now

Assume the state of the I AM now; feel it-real that you are delivered from every lion's den, then see the lions dissolve into quiet and walk free, within or without.
