Neville Goddard on Daniel 7:19-20 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Daniel 7 in context

Scripture Focus

19Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;

20And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.

Daniel 7:19-20

Biblical Context

Daniel 7:19-20 describes a dreadful fourth beast with iron teeth and ten horns. One horn grows and speaks boldly, symbolizing a persistent ego.

Neville's Inner Vision

Daniel 7:19-20 is not a history lesson but a map of consciousness. The dreadful beast is a state of mind that grips the moment with iron rigidity; its horns are streams of thought that project power outward. The horn with eyes and a mouth is the ruling belief, the image you attend to, the one that speaks loudest and seems to govern the scene. But the vision is inner: all such outward power is only a moving impression within your own consciousness. When you stop identifying with those thoughts and you stop feeding the ego's claims, the beast recedes. The Kingdom of God is the inner order already present; to awaken it you must assume a new possibility, feel the wish fulfilled now, and let the old picture fade. The I AM, your true awareness, can revise the impression from fear to faith, from domination to peace. As you dwell in that revised state, the external symbols—people, events, even kingdoms—fall into alignment with your inner shift.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and revise the scene. See the horn with eyes dissolve into light, while you rest in the I AM, feeling the wished-for Kingdom already established within.
