Neville Goddard on Mark 9:1-2 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Mark 9 in context

Scripture Focus

1And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.

2And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them.

Mark 9:1-2

Biblical Context

Jesus declares that some among his listeners will witness the kingdom come with power before their death. Then, he leads Peter, James, and John up a high mountain where he is transfigured.

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that the kingdom of God is not a distant event arriving to a crowd, but a shift of your own consciousness into power. When Jesus says some will see the kingdom come with power, he is pointing to a state of awareness that awakens before the body's last breath. The six days or the ascent to the mountain are symbolic of a disciplined inner period in which you withdraw from the world’s noise and enter a higher vibrational atmosphere. On that mountain your old sense of separation is transfigured; the radiance you see in Jesus is the radiance of your own I AM, the awareness that never dies. The scene is an inner revelation: as you dwell in the feeling of I AM, the world you know dissolves into light and power, and you behold the kingdom already present as your own dominion. Do not seek outward signs; imagine the inner heart becoming the sun of your life, and the power will come with it.
