Neville Goddard on Revelation 1:8-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Revelation 1 in context

Scripture Focus

8I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

9I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

10I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,

11Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

Revelation 1:8-11

Biblical Context

The text declares God as the eternal Alpha and Omega and invites John to share a vision with the seven churches; it centers on being in Spirit and hearing a commanding voice that asks him to record what is seen.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this oracle, you are not listening to distant prophecy, you are awakening to the truth that Alpha and Omega are the same I AM that you call by name. The beginning is your initial state of awareness, the ending is where your attention returns when you claim it again; neither time nor place binds you, for you dwell in the eternal now that is the Lord's day. When John says he was in the Spirit, he is describing your own moment when you step out of fear and into imaginative realization, letting a great voice, like a trumpet, awaken the memory of who you truly are. The command What thou seest, write in a book becomes a practical instruction: observe the scene your imagination is creating, and transcribe it as finished reality in your inner diary until it exists outwardly as a new life. You are commissioned to bring this vision to the churches of your own heart, Ephesus, Smyrna, Philadelphia, symbolic of states of consciousness you now inhabit in patience and truth. So stand in the I AM, and align your entire being with the truth that the beginning and end is you.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare, I am Alpha and Omega of this life. Then spend a minute or two feeling the state as finished reality by revisualizing a current issue as resolved.
