2Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.

Biblical Context

The passage presents Revelation as the unveiling God gives to believers, blessing those who read, hear, and keep its words, for the time is near.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of this text not as an external event to watch but as the drama of your own awareness. The Revelation of Jesus Christ is the revelation of the Christ within you, gifted by God as the infinite I AM to show your inner states what must come to pass as you imagine them. The angel is the sign of inner guidance; John is your attentive sense of witness who records what you perceive by your inner sight. Blessedness comes not from reading apart from you, but from reading with your inner faith, hearing with your inner attention, and keeping the words as living commands in your present consciousness, for the time is at hand—the time you choose to dwell in right now. When you acknowledge that the world you witness is formed by your states of consciousness, the prophecy unfolds as your experience. Read as if you are the one who is receiving and guarding this word; let the inner content become your living reality in the now.

Practice This Now

Assume you have already received the inner revelation. Read the verse aloud and feel the truth in your chest, then keep the words alive in your daily consciousness.
