Root and Morning Star Within
Revelation 22:16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Revelation 22 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jesus testifies to you through an inner messenger, declaring that your awareness is both the root and offspring of your spiritual lineage and that you are the bright morning star.
Neville's Inner Vision
In this verse the 'I Jesus' is the I AM within you, awakening your sleep of belief. The 'angel' is your inner stillness—the quiet conviction that testifies to truth amid the beliefs you wear as 'churches.' To be 'the root and the offspring of David' is to acknowledge that your present consciousness is both the source and the fruit of your divine lineage. David symbolizes kingly integrity of awareness; root means grounding in awareness; offspring means the manifestation of that line in your life. The 'bright and morning star' is not a distant star but the dawning light within your mind—a guiding clarity that leads you from restriction into awakening. You are the witness who testifies to yourself, and you are the testimony itself, shining as the light that never fails. Embrace that you are already what you seek: the source, the demonstration, and the star that announces a new day within you.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly, assume the I AM now; revise your belief to 'I am the root and the bright morning star,' and feel it real as your present experience.
