Neville Goddard on Revelation 16:17-21 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Revelation 16 in context

Scripture Focus

17And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.

18And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.

19And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.

20And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

21And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

Revelation 16:17-21

Biblical Context

In these verses, the seventh angel proclaims 'It is done,' followed by voices, earthquakes, and the fall of the great city—signaling a decisive upheaval of outward structures; the scene invites us to see these cataclysms as inner movements within consciousness, not merely external events.

Neville's Inner Vision

The seventh angel pours out a vial into the air—the air is your mental atmosphere. The great voice from the throne is the I AM within you declaring completion of a state. 'It is done' is not a future date but a felt realization that a previous condition has dissolved. The earthquake, the division of the city, and the fall of Babylon symbolize the shaking of old beliefs and identifications that no longer serve your life. Babylon’s memory before God represents the persistently held story of lack, fear, and separation, now receiving its cup of wrath and being emptied. The islands fleeing and mountains vanishing indicate the collapse of fixed structures in your inner world as you wake to unity with God. The hailstones, heavy judgments, and the blasphemies mark the releasing of hardened judgments that cloud awareness, paving the way for radiant clarity. Stand in the temple of your heart, affirm I AM, and let this decree reshape your consciousness from fear to realized Kingdom within.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe into your chest, and declare 'It is done' as your current reality for a chosen fear or longing; hold that feeling until the sense of separation dissolves and your inner city rests in peace.
