Revelation 10:9-11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Revelation 10 in context

Scripture Focus

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 10:9-11

Biblical Context

John is instructed by an angel to eat a small book; it tastes sweet in the mouth but bitter in the belly, and he is told to prophesy before many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this vision, the little book is not a mere manuscript but a state of consciousness you are invited to ingest. The honey-sweet taste in the mouth signals a truth you can affirm with delight as you internalize it. Yet the moment of digestion—the belly bitterness—shows the transformation truth works upon your old self: belief patterns and identifications that no longer hold, now stirred to be revised by the new level of awareness. The bitterness is not punishment but the crucible that purifies motive, turning knowledge into faithfulness. You are bid to prophesy again before many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings—an invitation to express your renewed inner law into every area of life. The diverse audiences symbolize the universal reach of your inner state; as you live from the assurance of I AM, your circumstances begin to respond with alignment. The process is inner creation: thought, feeling, and action harmonize until your outer world reflects the inner revelation. Your task is not to chase outward prophecies but to maintain the inner vision until it becomes the pattern by which you inhabit reality.

Practice This Now

Take the book into your mouth as a revision; taste sweetness and let the digestion of truth cultivate steadfast faith. Then declare, 'I prophesy in my life today—my inner vision becomes outward reality to all I meet.'
