Watchful Garments of Revelation
Revelation 16:15 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Revelation 16 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Revelation 16:15 speaks of the Lord's coming as a thief, blessing those who stay watchful and keep their spiritual garments. It warns that neglecting inner purity leads to exposure and shame.
Neville's Inner Vision
Behold, the thief is your own momentary forgetfulness of who you are. The coming is not a distant event but your awareness quietly uncovering the truth that you always stand as the I AM. Watchfulness is dwelling in a single state of consciousness, steady and unruffled; it is refusing to drift into fear or lack. The garments are the mental attire you choose—your self-image as pure, complete, and unshakable. Keep them by assuming the feeling that you are already clothed in righteousness, intact, and worthy. Nakedness appears only where attention has wandered into limitation; it is shame born of believing you are apart from your fullness. Revision is your tool: if you sense lack or exposure, return to the realization, 'I am whole now,' and feel the texture of the robe of truth around you. When you persist in that inner attire, the external world aligns to reflect your inner state, and the 'thief' arrives and passes without disturbing your calm, because you have awakened to your true self.
Practice This Now
Sit in quiet; declare, 'I am awake now, clothed in Wholeness.' Dwelling in that state, revise any sense of lack until the feeling is real.
