Inner Heat, Inner Glory
Revelation 16:9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Revelation 16 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Revelation 16:9 depicts people under intense heat who blaspheme God and refuse to turn toward his glory.
Neville's Inner Vision
All the heat you read about is not punishment but the fierce weather of a belief that has forgotten its own source. The blasphemy—the habit of naming power outside yourself—reveals the mind clinging to external conditions for reality. Yet the plague and pressure are invitations to turn inward. The verse does not condemn you; it illuminates the habit, showing that God is not out there, but within your I AM. When you insist that the power belongs to the God who dwells within, you reverse the sense of punishment and restore glory to the I AM. Repentance here is not remorse for sins but a turning of your entire attention from the world of appearances to the one Life within. As you align with the recognition 'I AM', the 'heat' loses its fearsome edge and becomes energy that moves you toward realization. Your inner world transforms the outer, and you find that the name you once blasphemed was the very name you can finally praise.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and feel the I AM as the only power. Revise the sense that outward heat rules you by affirming, 'I am the I AM, and this heat is my inner awakening.'
