The Inner Babylon Falls

Revelation 18:22-23 - A Neville Goddard 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;
23And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
Revelation 18:22-23

Biblical Context

Revelation 18:22-23 portrays the end of outward social life and commerce as internal deception is exposed and external forms fade; judgment falls on reliance on worldly wealth and power.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's perspective, Babylon is a state of consciousness clinging to appearances—the voices of harpers, craftsmen, and merchants symbolize habitual thoughts that derive life from outer structures. The line about the light of a candle no longer shining signals the collapse of those external forms as your awareness shifts. The sorceries represent limiting beliefs that wealth, status, or ritual can supply existence. When you align with the I AM—the eternal awareness within you—the inner basis of life no longer depends on markets, opinions, or forms. The 'kingdom of God' becomes a felt reality, not a geography: a quiet, all-providing consciousness that furnishes every need. As you revise your sense of self and supply, the external scenes of birth, marriage, music, and business recede from your attention, not by force but by a deeper recognition that you are the witness and source of all that appears. The judgment is the thinning of old identifications, inviting you into the right state of consciousness where true prosperity resides.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and envision the marketplace dissolving into stillness; then affirm, 'I am the I AM; all supply flows from within me,' and feel the inner light awaken as the outer forms fade.
