Neville Goddard on Revelation 12:11-17 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Revelation 12 in context

Scripture Focus

11And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

12Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

13And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.

14And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

15And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

16And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

17And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Revelation 12:11-17

Biblical Context

Those described overcome the accuser through the blood of the Lamb and their testimony, choosing steadfast devotion over fear of death. Heaven rejoices, while the earth experiences the ongoing struggle of the old world against the new inward kingdom.

Neville's Inner Vision

This vision is a map of your inner warfare. The dragon's wrath is the stubborn belief that you are merely the body and its fortunes; the Lamb's blood is the realization that you are the living I AM, perfected consciousness. Overcoming means consenting to your true nature now, not after some external victory. The word of their testimony is the inner declaration you dwell in: 'I am the light, I am the life, I am the Kingdom of God within.' When you stand in that knowing, you are already beyond the flood of fear and the counterfeit powers. The woman and her wings symbolize your own faculties lifting you above appearances—faith and imagination carrying you to a place of nourishment in the wilderness of quiet perception. The earth swallowing the flood shows that your environment can reflect your inner alignment when you persist. The remnant are those who obey the inner law scribed on the heart and whose testimony is consistent with the I AM. Victory is the felt reality of your consciousness, here and now.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume you are the I AM. Say softly, 'I am the blood of the Lamb; I am the testimony of Jesus,' and feel yourself already victorious.
