Read Revelation 4 in context

Scripture Focus

3And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.

4And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.

5And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

6And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.

Revelation 4:3-6

Biblical Context

Revelation 4:3–6 presents a throne vision: a figure shining like jasper and sardine stone, encircled by a rainbow, with twenty-four elders in white robes around the throne. It portrays worship, kingship, and the governing presence of God in the heavenly scene.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the Neville Goddard lens, the throne is your I AM—the steady field of awareness from which every sensation, thought, and feeling arises. The jasper and sardine stones symbolize the clarity and vitality of perception when you rest as the witness rather than identify with passing states. The emerald rainbow around the throne marks the harmony of consciousness when all parts of you are aligned in the present, regardless of circumstance. The twenty-four elders in white robes and gold crowns represent the orderly faculties of mind gathered under your sovereign awareness; through non-resistance and focused attention, they express as disciplined action, wise discernment, and creative authority. The seven lamps, the seven Spirits of God, are seven living currents you can cultivate—wisdom, strength, love, insight, power, understanding, and grace—burning before your throne as proof of mastery. The sea of glass signifies the deep stillness beneath appearances, and the four beasts signify omniscient awareness of inner movement. The vision proclaims that God’s kingdom is an inner state you claim and rule from the I AM now.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, sit still, and acknowledge I AM on the throne of your consciousness. See the emerald rainbow encircling you and feel one of the seven spirits—wisdom, strength, or understanding—already alive as your present reality.
