Neville Goddard on Revelation 10:6-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Revelation 10 in context

Scripture Focus

6And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:

7But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

8And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.

9And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.

10And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.

11And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

Revelation 10:6-11

Biblical Context

God swears by the eternal Creator that time as a condition ends. The angel gives a little book, to be eaten, and the command to prophesy again follows.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner economy of the I AM, time is a belief you have outgrown; the seventh sound signals the moment you align with the mystery solved within you. The little book is not a thing outside you but a compact of truth you carry in your own consciousness. Eating it represents the assimilation of revelation into being, the sweetness filling the mouth as the realized truth, while the bitterness in the belly reveals old forms of doubt being digested. Standing on sea and earth, outer references fade; you are invited to prophesy again, speaking from your newly transformed state into the world of appearances. The true miracle is not the external end of time, but the inner completion of mystery within; your words become the energy by which that inner victory manifests. Thus you practice becoming the living embodiment of the finished mystery, letting present choices echo your deepest declaration of being.

Practice This Now

Sit in stillness and imagine taking the little book into your hands, tasting its honeyed truth, then feeling the old beliefs dissolve in your belly. Prophesy aloud a current reality you are now creating through that finished mystery.
