Inner Judgment, Inner Worship
Revelation 17:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Revelation 17 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
An angel invites you to witness the judgment of a symbolic figure whose power rests upon many waters, a picture of collective false worship. This scene points to the inner accountability that comes when consciousness clings to idols.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville’s language, the 'great whore' is a state of consciousness that clings to images—power, pleasure, and status—as if they were life. The 'waters' symbolize the ceaseless thoughts and feelings that flood the mind when it forgets I AM. The angel’s invitation is your inward summons to awaken to your true nature; the 'judgment' revealed is the moment consciousness stops feeding the idol and chooses a higher alignment. When you hear, 'Come hither,' you enter the inner room of awareness and observe the symptoms of idolatry—beliefs that life comes from external things. The judgment is not punishment but a clearing away of false images, so true worship can arise. See the idol dissolve as you acknowledge that God alone is, and your real self is the I AM aware of every scene. True worship is returning to that awareness, acknowledging unity with the Source, and letting separation fade. Persist in this revision, and the waters calm while your life reflects the one presence you already are within.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: In quiet stillness, assume you are the I AM; revise the image of idolatry by silently declaring, 'I choose true worship within.' Feel the inner waters settle as you live from that truth.
