Inner Kingdoms of Daniel

Daniel 8:20-22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Daniel 8 in context

Scripture Focus

20The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia.
21And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
22Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power.
Daniel 8:20-22

Biblical Context

The vision names inner powers—the ram as Media and Persia and the rough goat as Greece. When the great horn is broken, four kingdoms arise, but not with the old strength.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your mind is the stage where Daniel's vision is enacted. The ram with two horns represents the two poles of awareness—Media and Persia—powers you once called real through imagination. The rough goat, Greece, shows a rapid surge of mental energy and ambition. The great horn between its eyes is the first king, the ruling idea you have accepted about who you are. When that horn is broken, the prophecy tells us four kingdoms rise from the nation, yet not in its power. Observe that this is not about outer history but about your inner succession of states. As you refuse to identify with the dying form of a single ruler, you awaken to new arrangements of consciousness: four kingdoms within, each a refinement or color of your I AM. Consciousness reorganizes itself, and your outward world reflects this inner transformation. The Gospel of Daniel thus becomes a practical map: you let go of one sovereign by assumption and invite four subtler sovereignties to reign under the single, all-embracing I AM. By this inner reorientation, reality bends to your revised sense of self.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume the feeling that you are crowned by an inner sovereignty greater than any former ruler. Revise your present circumstances by quietly declaring, 'I AM the ruler of four harmonious states within,' and feel it real.
