Inner Jerusalem as the Bride
Revelation 21:2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Revelation 21 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
John beholds the holy city, New Jerusalem, descending from God, prepared as a bride for her husband. It symbolizes the soul's purified state of consciousness ready for union with the divine.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your vision in Revelation is not a distant city; it is your own consciousness, a state descending from God into your life. The New Jerusalem is the purified awareness that has shed fear, guilt, and separation. It comes down, not into a material city, but into the awareness you carry, prepared as a bride adorned for the Husband of your being, the I AM. The Bride is not a person; she is your disciplined desire to fulfill covenant loyalty to the divine within. Holiness is not separation from the world, but separation from untrue stories you have believed about yourself. The city’s walls show you that you are protected; its gates are your disciplined senses; its light is the radiance of perception, the eye that never sleeps. When you dwell in this state, you are not seeking God; you are inviting Him to live as you, to amass the inner circumstances that reflect your one reality. Trust the feeling of inevitability: the realization is already present; you are simply becoming aware of it.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine the New Jerusalem descending into your chest. Silently declare, 'I am the holy city prepared for my divine Husband,' and feel the purity as your own present reality.
