Inner Revelation: Seen, Present, Hereafter
Revelation 1:19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Revelation 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse calls you to acknowledge three movements of consciousness: what you have perceived, what you presently embody, and what you will bring into being in the future.
Neville's Inner Vision
Revelation 1:19 whispers a master key to the inner life: the seen, the present, and the hereafter are all within your own consciousness. The 'things thou hast seen' are the images your mind has already held; the 'things which are' are the felt sense of your present I AM—your current inner atmosphere; and the 'things which shall be hereafter' are the future you are quietly calling into form by your present assumption. In Neville's light, God is the I AM within you, and imagination is the instrument by which you co-create your world. To live this, begin by choosing an end to inhabit and dwell there until it colors every present thought. Do not chase the outward; revise your inner narrative until your state of being corresponds to the fulfilled condition. Each moment of faithful repetition stamps the future into the now. Thus, the verse becomes a practical map: you write the movements of consciousness, then allow them to lead your outer life, knowing that the inner state nourishes the outer event.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: Sit, close your eyes, and on an inner screen re-run a scene in which you have already received what you desire; feel the thrill, say, 'It is done,' and rest in the awareness that your I AM has spoken.
