Neville Goddard on Revelation 20:4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Revelation 20 in context

Scripture Focus

4And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

Revelation 20:4

Biblical Context

Revelation 20:4 describes believers seated on thrones with authority, the souls who were beheaded for Jesus alive and reigning with Him, and the faithful who did not worship the beast.

Neville's Inner Vision

See the vision as an inner map. The thrones are the sovereign places in consciousness from which you recognize and judge what you accept as real. The beheaded souls, witnesses of Jesus, symbolize identities you sacrifice to truth— old patterns released in favor of the living Christ within. The beast, its image, and its mark are not distant foes; they are habitual pictures of separation you once believed. When you stop worshipping those pictures and refuse their marks, the souls rise again in your awareness and begin to reign with Christ. The phrase a thousand years is not chronology but a continuous season of awakened life, a long line of now moments in which your I Am power operates in perfect harmony with divine truth. Remember, you are the one who imagines and thus forms your reality. If you assume you already reign, feel it real, and remain faithful to that inner alignment, the outer world adjusts to reflect your inner kingdom.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, breathe, and imagine you are already on the throne of your inner awareness. Hold the feeling of reigning with Christ now, and revise any sense of lack into wholeness until it feels true.
