The Inner Beast Unveiled

Revelation 13:1-8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Revelation 13 in context

Scripture Focus

1And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
4And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
5And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Revelation 13:1-8

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.
