Neville Goddard on Revelation 12:5-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Revelation 12 in context

Scripture Focus

5And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.

6And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

Revelation 12:5-6

Biblical Context

A woman bears a man child who will rule all nations, and the child is carried to God’s throne; the woman then flees into a wilderness prepared by God where she is nourished for 1,260 days.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the vision, the woman is your inner state prepared to birth a ruling idea. The man child represents the dominating consciousness that governs your outer world. The rod of iron is the firmness of I AM awareness, the authority by which you command conditions. When the child is caught up unto God and to his throne, you rise into the throne room of awareness where appearances bow to the truth that imagination creates reality. The wilderness is the quiet space where God feeds your disciplined imagination, sustaining the seed until its time of manifestation. The 1,260 days mark cycles of inner nourishment and growth, not an external timetable. Providence and guidance come as you rest in this inner state, knowing the kingdom of God is within and your birthright of dominion is already established in consciousness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly and declare, I am the I AM, ruler of my inner world. Visualize the child rising within, being caught up to God’s throne, and feel sustained in a wilderness of inner nourishment as you dwell in that awareness for several minutes.
