Neville Goddard on Revelation 19:20 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Revelation 19 in context

Scripture Focus

20And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

Revelation 19:20

Biblical Context

Beast and the false prophet are seized and cast into a lake of fire, signifying the end of their deceptive power. They represent idolatrous influence over those who worshiped the image.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this vision, the beast and the false prophet are not distant rulers but inner states—fear, pride, and the habit of worshiping appearances. They performed wonders before you to persuade your mind that reality rests in forms rather than in the I AM. When you realize that God is awareness, the light of that I AM shines on these inner powers and they are captured—not by an external force, but by your renewed attention to reality. The 'lake of fire' becomes the purifying light that burns away illusion, leaving you with your true life in consciousness. The act of 'casting them' occurs as you refuse to identify with their stories and revise your inner scene to reflect freedom. Your judgment is inward: you stop worshiping images and outcomes and stand in the recognition that you are the I AM, unaltered by dream appearances. In that pivot, the beast and the false prophet lose their sway, and your world reflects the peace of a mind that knows itself.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and imagine the beast and false prophet being dragged away by your awareness. Affirm, 'I am the I AM,' and feel the release as the inner fire dissolves their hold.
