Wilderness Vision of Revelation 17:3
Revelation 17:3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Revelation 17 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage describes an outward vision where a woman rides a scarlet beast in a wilderness, symbolizing deep-seated beliefs and impulses. It invites inner interpretation rather than literal geography.
Neville's Inner Vision
Look not outward, but inward. The wilderness is your current state of attention, a clearing where you can observe the contents of your mind. The woman seated upon the scarlet beast represents the habitual self that has taken the lead—fear, desire, and the stories you tell yourself about power and worth. The beast, crimson and blasphemous, is the charged energy of those beliefs, the build-up of thoughts that claim authority over you. The seven heads and ten horns are not external rulers but facets of your self-image and resistance: the many viewpoints you entertain to prove the world true. When you fix your gaze on the scene as if it is happening out there, you hand control to the appearances. When you reinterpret it as inner states you reclaim the scene, becoming the rider who can calm, redirect, and revise. The message of prophecy and judgment is spiritual accountability: you are answerable to the consciousness you have assumed, and you may reimagine it into a higher order by using the I AM and imagination to remake your reality.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Assume the I AM is the rider and revise one limiting belief in the inner wilderness; feel-it-real that the new belief is already true. Do it now.
