Read Revelation 20 in context

Scripture Focus

3And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

Revelation 20:3

Biblical Context

Revelation 20:3 states that a deceiver is cast into a bottomless pit, sealed to prevent deception for a long, defined era, after which the power is loosened for a little season.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville lens, the pit is your unexamined mind, a bottomless vault of images. The deceiver is the restless habit of fear and sense of separation that keeps speaking in your inner theater. Casting him into the pit and sealing him up is not a historical event; it is a present act of imagination. Decide now that you will not feed that old tale with belief. By assuming the presence of the I AM—the quiet awareness that you are—you seal off the deceiver so his stories can no longer govern your world. The thousand years is simply a long habit of consciousness; you need not endure it. When you dwell in the I AM, the deceiving noise subsides, and the inner kingdom becomes the true ruler of your life. The loosening afterward is not punishment but the natural unfurling of new imagery as you imagine health, unity, and freedom into form.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and rest in the I AM, the awareness that you are. Imagine a bright seal on the bottomless pit and feel the liberation already present as you declare I AM.
