Neville Goddard on Revelation 1:17 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Revelation 1 in context

Scripture Focus

17And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:

Revelation 1:17

Biblical Context

John is seized by awe before the exalted Presence, falls as if dead, and is steadied by a reassuring touch that declares, Fear not; I am the first and the last.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the inner vision of Revelation 1:17, Neville teaches that the sight is not an external event but the awakening of your I AM. The fall at the feet represents the old self surrendering to the Power you truly are; the right hand laid upon you is the felt touch of your own conviction that you are not separate from God. Fear not is the correction of your inner state: identify with the alpha and omega—the first and the last—your eternal Self. Therefore, the vision invites you to live from that Presence now, to use imagination to revise your state, and to assume the feeling of the I AM until reality itself mirrors that inner truth. Your world becomes the outward sign of an inward daydream renewed by constant, deliberate recognition of the Self that never changes.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, breathe, and repeat, I am the I AM—the first and the last. Feel the Presence as your constant Self in this moment, and let fear melt into trust.
