Neville Goddard on Revelation 18:12-14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Revelation 18 in context

Scripture Focus

12The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,

13And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.

14And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.

Revelation 18:12-14

Biblical Context

Revelation 18:12-14 lists luxurious goods and even souls, announcing their departure as a judgment on worldly greed and idolatry; it depicts the fall of what was once coveted.

Neville's Inner Vision

Take this text as a mirror for inner states. The merchandise listed is not merely gold or chariots; it is the posture of the mind that worships outer security. The truth of your being, the I AM within, does not own those things to prove itself; it creates through awareness. When you identify with consciousness as the I that provides, the external market collapses into a new atmosphere of sufficiency. The fruits your soul lusted after depart not as punishment, but as the mind realizes that such 'things' are symbols of a state, not substances of life. The angels and merchants in this vision stand outside your true property because you have forgotten your sovereign relation to supply. Your revision—assume abundance, feel the reality of already having more than enough, and observe the inner currents settle into steadiness. The judgment you dread is simply the moment you stop pretending that form can confer worth. In your present I AM, there is no need to chase; there is only the recognition that you are the source, and all outward forms dissolve into the light of consciousness you occupy.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly and declare, 'I AM the abundant supply.' Feel that reality as you revise the craving, letting the sense of already having everything flood your awareness for a minute or two.
