Neville Goddard on Revelation 15:5-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Revelation 15 in context

Scripture Focus

5And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:

6And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles.

7And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever.

Revelation 15:5-7

Biblical Context

John sees the heavenly temple opened and seven angels coming forth with the plagues, wrapped in linen; a beast hands them seven golden vials full of wrath.

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that the temple in heaven opening is your own mind becoming aware. The seven angels are the seven faculties you can call forth by feeling and imagination: imagination itself, faith, discernment, courage, opportunity, gratitude, and service. They come clothed in purity, symbolizing that when you align your inner state with the divine I AM, your actions are righteous and centered. The golden girdles bind their work to your higher purpose. The seven golden vials, filled with the wrath of God, represent the release of energy when old beliefs are confronted and burned away by conscious decree. Wrath, properly directed, is the force that cleanses error from your inner world, making room for truth to take form. The four beasts attending remind you that all experience can be interpreted as messages from your inner self. If you assume a state in which the temple is open and you witness the angels acting, you will witness outward events rearranging to match your changed inner condition.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume you are the I AM, and revise a current problem by declaring, 'The temple of my mind is opened; the angels of awareness and power move within me.' Then feel the truth in your body for a few minutes, letting transformative energy wash the scene.
