Neville Goddard on Revelation 18:20-21 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Revelation 18 in context

Scripture Focus

20Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.

21And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.

Revelation 18:20-21

Biblical Context

Heaven, the holy apostles and prophets, celebrate God's vindication as Babylon is judged. The vision ends with a decisive, symbolic overthrow that marks the end of that city's influence.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this vision, Babylon is not a distant empire but a state of mind—belief in separation, lack, fear. The heaven and the apostles are the higher faculties of awareness within you that know truth. God avenges you on her because the I AM never suffers harm; it is the awareness that dissolves the dream of separation. The stone cast into the sea is the cutting word of inner conviction; when you accept and feel your oneness with divine life, the old city sinks and is found no more. The violent image speaks to the finality of this inner act, a declaration that the old dream cannot survive the surge of truth. Rejoicing is not triumph over others but the inner shift of consciousness when justice is recognized as your own nature. The Kingdom of God, then, is your present awareness—not a distant place but a condition you inhabit by choosing through imagination. The prophecy affirms your freedom: you are the ruler of your world, and your awareness writes the ending of every Babylon within.

Practice This Now

Assume you are the I AM and revise: 'Babylon has fallen in me.' Feel it real by picturing a great millstone of truth sinking into the sea, dissolving the old city of fear within.
