Neville Goddard on Revelation 11:7-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Revelation 11 in context

Scripture Focus

7And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

8And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.

Revelation 11:7-8

Biblical Context

Two witnesses finish their testimony, the beast overpowers them and kills them; their dead bodies lie in the street of the great city, symbolizing a fallen state of mind where the Lord was crucified.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville lens, these verses reveal inner characters of your consciousness. The two witnesses are not men in robes but opinions, beliefs, and loyalties you have cherished as truth. When the beast from the bottomless pit rises to war against them, this is the powerful pull of fear and habit contesting your most cherished assumptions. The moment they are killed, the 'dead bodies' lying in the street signify the old testimonies laid aside in your current state of awareness. The city, spiritually Sodom and Egypt, is your present mental climate—spaces of self-justification and hardened form where the Lord was crucified anew, meaning the living I AM witness within you is seemingly extinguished by your prior identifications. Yet this is not final annihilation; it is a permission slip for revision. By refusing to identify with the dying stories, you awaken to the truth that your consciousness is the creator of seeing. The sunrise of a renewed testimony begins as you imagine and feel the new awareness as already established.

Practice This Now

Assume the witness is alive now; revise the scene by imagining the bodies rising, and feel the I AM declaring, 'I AM the creator of this reality'; then sustain the new testimony with a simple daily felt-sense practice.
