Neville Goddard on Revelation 21:1-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Revelation 21 in context

Scripture Focus

1And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

2And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

4And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

5And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

6And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

7He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

8But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Revelation 21:1-8

Biblical Context

A new heaven and new earth appear, with God dwelling among people, wiping away tears, and removing death, sorrow, and pain; the former things are passed away, and to the overcomer all things are given.

Neville's Inner Vision

The vision is not a distant landscape but the transformation of your consciousness. The new heaven and new earth are the state of awareness you assume and inhabit. When you say I AM, you invite God to dwell with you as your own life; the tabernacle becomes your inward peace, and tears fade as you realize there is no separation between you and the divine. It is done, Alpha and Omega, announces that the fulfillment already exists as a present realization in the imagination. The one who overcomes is the one who maintains this inner stance, inheriting all things while remaining rooted in the truth that God is your own being. The fountain of the water of life flows freely through your awareness, quenching thirst with living inspiration. Let the former fears and limits vanish as you persist in the assumption that you and God are one, and the outer world will reflect your restored harmony.
