Inner Temple And Two Witnesses

Revelation 11:1-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Revelation 11 in context

Scripture Focus

1And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
2But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
3And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
4These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
5And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
6These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
Revelation 11:1-6

Biblical Context

John is told to measure the temple and its altar, leaving the outer court unmeasured. Two witnesses are empowered to prophesy in humble, steadfast service.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you the temple is your state of consciousness; the altar is pure devotion to the I AM; those who worship therein are your steadfast feelings of reverence. The angel who speaks to you bids you measure this temple, not the outer court, for the outside is the dream of Gentiles, the sense that life is separate from you. The two witnesses are two enduring faculties, truth and perseverance, like olive trees and candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. When you attend to them, they prophesy in sackcloth, humble, unwavering utterance that precedes true manifestation. If anyone would harm them, their sacred fire of word dissolves resistance; they have power to shut heaven so rainfall of old beliefs ceases, and to turn waters to blood, meaning your perception shifts to life-giving streams from your inner source. They can smite the earth with plagues as you will, by shifting imagined conditions with a new assumption. This vision teaches you that your inner state governs your outer world; measure, empower, and dwell in the reality you choose.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, declare 'I am the temple,' and measure your inner state as your reality. Then envision the two witnesses lighting your inner space, and rest in the conviction that your chosen inner decree governs your outer world.
