Temple Within, Light From Within

Revelation 21:22-27 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Revelation 21 in context

Scripture Focus

22And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
23And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
24And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
25And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
26And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
27And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
Revelation 21:22-27

Biblical Context

Plainly, the passage states that the Lord God and the Lamb are the temple; the city is lit by divine light rather than sun or moon; nations walk in this light, and only those written in the Lamb's book of life enter.

Neville's Inner Vision

Behold the scene as a map of your consciousness. There is no outer temple because you are the temple; the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the building and the light, their glory shining within you and rendering sun, moon, and external pageantry unnecessary. The nations of the saved walking in that light are the diverse powers of your mind harmonized by faith—will, compassion, and imagination—moving in unity. The kings of the earth bringing glory into it symbolize the disciplined choices you make when you live from your inner I AM. The gates that are never shut show that no fear or ignorance can block access to this temple once you realize you are already blessed with the light. Nothing defiling can enter; only the truth of life, written in the Lambs book of life, stands at the center of your experience. This is not distant prophecy but your present inner arrangement of awareness, ready to be walked.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the state, I am the temple; let the Lamb-light fill your mind and illuminate every thought. Walk through an open inner gate and rest in the truth that nothing defiles you when you dwell in this awareness.
