Neville Goddard on Revelation 4:9-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Revelation 4 in context

Scripture Focus

9And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,

10The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,

11Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

Revelation 4:9-11

Biblical Context

Beasts give glory and thanks to the One on the throne, and the twenty-four elders bow in worship and cast their crowns. They declare that all things were created for God's pleasure.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the vision as your own inner theater. The throne is the I AM within you—the unmoved awareness that animates every thought and sensation. The beasts and the twenty-four elders are movements of your consciousness praising and yielding to this Presence. When they cast their crowns, you relinquish the belief that you must earn worth from ego rules; you surrender the self-image you have worn to fit a world that seems apart from God. The statement 'Thou art worthy' names the truth that the One who lives for ever is the I AM within you, the source of glory, honor, and power. 'For thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created' signals your inner order: your world exists to please the I AM. As you live from this recognition, your imagination naturally reflects it—creation becomes an expression of your inner state, not an external conquest. Worship thus is inner alignment, a moment of conscious praise that makes heaven present now in you.
