Neville Goddard on Revelation 1:5-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Revelation 1 in context

Scripture Focus

5And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

6And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Revelation 1:5-6

Biblical Context

Jesus is presented as the faithful witness and ruler who loves us, cleanses us from sin, and elevates us to a royal ministry as kings and priests before God. The verse invites us to see our authority and priestly unity with God as present realities.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider these words as a map of your inner self. Jesus Christ is not a distant figure but the steadfast I AM within you—the witness who cannot be moved. He is the first begotten of the dead in your psyche, the breakthrough state that makes the old self die and a new life begin. He is the prince of the kings of the earth because kingship is a mode of consciousness you awaken to by insistence, by feeling the reality you intend. It is love that washed us from our sins—again an inner cleansing by awareness, not an external force—so you stand now as purified by the vibrational quality of your own consciousness. And he hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; this is not future permission but your present occupancy. Glory and dominion belong to the state you inhabit when you treat imagination as the only power, and when you live from the presence that says 'I am.' The world is the dream produced by your inner state; revise, reaffirm, and walk in the authority you already possess.

Practice This Now

Sit in quiet and declare, 'I am loved, forgiven, and reigning now as a king and priest before God.' Feel this state as your present reality sinking into every cell.
