Inner City of Wealth Unveiled
Revelation 18:17-19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Revelation 18 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage portrays the fall of a great city of wealth, with shipmasters and merchants lamenting as external riches collapse in an hour.
Neville's Inner Vision
Picture the city as a belief, not a place. The ships and merchants are the currents of desire and the habits by which you seek security, status, and identity in the world. When the hour arrives—the moment of sudden desolation—the inner pattern you have trusted to supply you reveals itself as thought-form. The cry, 'What city is like unto this great city?' is the ego's boasting, a posture that says 'outside riches define me.' But in Neville's terms, God is I AM, the awareness that never dissolves. The burning smoke is the clearing of a mistaken assumption. As you identify with the I AM, you discover that wealth is a state you keep, not an external stream you chase. The wreck of the city invites you to revise: the only true commerce is inside, where you imagine the end from the beginning and thereby bring it forth. By shifting your attention to the inner source—the one I AM—your outer become a sign, not a rule. The hour of desolation becomes a doorway to permanent inner abundance.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine the great city dissolving into light; then repeat, 'I am the source of all supply; wealth is a state of consciousness I embody now,' and feel that truth as your own being.
