Neville Goddard on Revelation 18:22 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Revelation 18 in context

Scripture Focus

22And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;

Revelation 18:22

Biblical Context

Revelation 18:22 declares that all worldly sounds—music, crafts, and grinding—will vanish in thee. It signals judgment, exile, and the opportunity to turn inward toward God's kingdom.

Neville's Inner Vision

Take Revelation 18:22 as a mirror of your inner weather. The voice of harpers, musicians, pipers, trumpeters, and the craftsman are not mere sounds in a city, but the movements of your own consciousness when you identify with noise, product, and outward event. When you awaken to the I AM, the inner witness who never changes, you discover that the outer city is a projection of your inner condition. The verse whispers that such external music and labor cease not because the world dies, but because you stop dwelling in the Babylon of surface appearances. Judgment here is inward: you revise the inner dispositions that once gave life to struggle, gain, and pride, and you return to the Kingdom of God within. As you entertain the conviction that you are the I AM, you find that the millstone’s grinding and the craftsman's trade are no longer necessary to your sense of identity. The end of this outer noise marks the birth of a new order—where harmony, purpose, and divine design proceed from your inner stillness rather than from striving.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe, and repeat quietly: I AM the quiet. Assume the state of inner stillness and notice how the outer noises fade as you dwell in the now-present I AM.
