The Inner Beast Unveiled
Revelation 13:1-8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Revelation 13 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
John describes a beast rising from the sea, empowered by the dragon. The world worships it, even as a deadly wound seems healed, signaling the persistence of this counterfeit power; those not written in the Lamb's book are drawn to it.
Neville's Inner Vision
From a Neville vantage, the sea beast is not a future empire but a state of consciousness—the belief in separation from God. The dragon of the unconscious lends it energy, so the beast appears strong, feared, and universally admired. The seven heads and ten horns are the many forms this belief can wear, all blaspheming the very name of God by claiming power outside the I AM. When the world wonders after the beast and worships it, you are witnessing your own habit of seeking power in forms rather than in the Self. The wound that is healed is the return of attention to inner life—the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. To be a saint is to align with the true life of Christ within, not to conquer external threats, but to withdraw belief from the external idol. The war with the saints represents the inner struggle between limited belief and the boundless consciousness of divine I AM. The transformation comes when you consciously assume the I AM and feel it real, letting the inner kingdom replace the external spectacle.
Practice This Now
Assume the I AM is the only power; close your eyes and imagine the beast dissolving and the dragon fading into your breath; feel the inner life of Christ asserting itself as the sole reality.
