Revelation 12:4

Biblical Context

Revelation 12:4 shows a dragon pulling a third of the stars from heaven and standing before the woman ready to give birth to her child, symbolizing inner forces resisting a new birth of consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Revelation 12:4 speaks in the language of inner drama: the dragon, a state of fear and resistance, would sweep a third of your stars into earth and stand before the woman ready to receive her child. But the scene is not a fatal collision of powers; it is a diagnostic beacon for the I AM within you. The woman represents your awakened awareness, the womb of a new idea, and the child is the fresh state of consciousness you intend to birth. The dragon before the birth signifies thoughts and memories that tremble at transformation, attempting to swallow the newborn idea before it can become seen. Yet the outer drama dissolves when you recognize that the event is inward. By choosing and persisting in the living belief that the child is already born in you, you remove the power of the dragon; you redraw the scene so the stars are reinterpreted as the light of the now-clarified consciousness, not as loss. Remain within the I AM, declare the birth complete, and feel the reality of the new state as your present, undeniable experience.
