Neville Goddard on Revelation 12:3-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Revelation 12 in context

Scripture Focus

3And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.

4And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

Revelation 12:3-4

Biblical Context

Revelation 12:3-4 shows a great red dragon with seven heads and ten horns looming over a woman ready to give birth. The dragon's tail draws a third of the stars from heaven and casts them to the earth, as it stands to devour the newborn child.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's light, the dragon is not a creature in the heavens but a state of consciousness—fear, domination, and resistance to birth. The woman represents your inner readiness to bring forth a higher truth, and the child is the new state of being you wish to experience. The seven heads and ten horns symbolize fixed patterns of thought wearing crowns of self-importance, casting shadows to prevent birth. This vision reveals that external conflict is a projection of inner possibility. The tail sweeping a third of the stars stands for discarded beliefs you once revered; they fall away as you choose a new form of awareness. Now, assume the feeling that the promised birth is already yours; dwell in the I AM until the child stands born in your mind. With this inner revision, the dragon loses power, and the birth becomes real in your consciousness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and, in your inner theater, assume the feeling of the new state as already present. Inhabit the I AM and declare, 'The child is born in my consciousness now; the dragon has no power over me.'
