Read Revelation 4 in context

Revelation 4:8

Biblical Context

In Revelation 4:8, four beasts with six wings continually praise God, declaring holiness and the eternal nature of the Lord who was, is, and is to come.

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the beasts as symbols of your inner states, each wing a movement of awareness circling the throne of your mind. The six wings suggest the speed and dexterity with which attention may travel through thought, feeling, memory, and desire, while the eyes within signify the inner sight that perceives truth beyond form. When they chant Holy, holy, holy, they are offering a practice rather than a ritual: insist on holiness as your natural state, a state produced by awareness itself—the I AM you are. The phrase 'LORD God Almighty' points to the Infinite Presence that you are, not a distant deity, but the living I AM within. 'Which was, and is, and is to come' teaches that God is timelessly present in your consciousness—the same I AM now as in any imagined future. In Neville's terms, the outer pageantry of Revelation becomes an invitation to revision and assumption: assume the Presence, feel it as real here and now, and let your thoughts align with that reality. Your job is to dwell in the feeling of holiness until it colors your ordinary experience.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes, declare I AM, and feel the holiness saturating your mind; rest your attention on that Presence and revise any lack into its reality. Keep repeating 'Holy, holy, holy' until it feels true and present.
