Neville Goddard on Revelation 13:5-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Revelation 13 in context

Scripture Focus

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 13:5-8

Biblical Context

Power is granted for forty-two months to blaspheme God and attack the saints; earth’s worship leans toward the beast rather than the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's vocabulary, the chapter is a picture of your inner states. The beast is not a distant empire but the dominant thought-form born of fear and ego that blasphemes the God within your I AM. The forty-two months is the length your attention remains tied to that negative storyline before you revise. The saints represent your higher self and evolved desires; their defeat in your inner life marks belief that you are separate from divine life. Earth’s worship of the beast is your market-minded, outward identifications—accepting appearances as reality rather than the inner truth. The Lamb slain from the foundation of the world is your true self, the Christ who never died but rests within when you realign with the I AM. When you stop feeding the beast and claim the Lamb’s life as your own, the external theater loosens its grip and you awaken to a consciousness that is always whole.

Practice This Now

Assume the state of the I AM and revise: the beast’s blasphemy is dissolved by the Lamb within. Sit quietly, breathe to the heart, and affirm, I am the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world; I am the life and tabernacle of God within me. Do this for 5 minutes daily until it feels real.
