Neville Goddard on Revelation 13:11-12 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Revelation 13 in context

Scripture Focus

11And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

12And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

Revelation 13:11-12

Biblical Context

The passage depicts a second beast arising with lamb-like horns, yet speaking as a dragon, coercing the earth to worship the first beast. It points to false authority dressed in gentleness and invites inner recognition of true worship.

Neville's Inner Vision

To read Revelation 13:11-12 through the Neville lens is to see the second beast as a state of consciousness masquerading as kindness while issuing commands. The two lamb-like horns signify faculties that seem gentle and sincere, yet the dragon voice behind them is the ancient fear that orders you to worship an image of power rather than your own I AM. The first beast represents the habit of yielding to a borrowed authority; its deadly wound healed is the stubborn belief that life is managed by force outside of you, revived in new clothes. When you walk in the earth of daily life, you feel compelled to confirm that power by outward signs and rites. Neville teaches that the cure is inward: awaken to the I AM as the sole governor, and revise the scene with imagination until the sense of lack disappears. Do not fight the other beast; acknowledge that the true worship is reverence for your inner life and its unity with God. When you feel the imaged dragon dissolve into light, the outer world aligns with your renewed inner truth.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly for a few minutes, feel I AM as the only reality, and revise a current fear scene by declaring There is only God here; then let that feeling saturate your body.
