Neville Goddard on Revelation 5:3-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Revelation 5 in context

Scripture Focus

3And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.

4And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.

Revelation 5:3-4

Biblical Context

Verse 5:3–4 shows that no outward power can open the book, and the speaker weeps at the absence of a worthy reader. It is a symbol of the inner belief that fulfillment lies outside and must be discovered within.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the book is the record of your own consciousness. No outward power—whether in heaven or on earth—can read it until you awaken the inner sense that you are the I AM, the reader, the author, and the fulfillment of the script. When John weeps at the unworthy reader, you are shown your moment of doubt, the belief that you are powerless to open your life. Yet the door opens the moment you assume the state of being the one who can read and revise the page from within. The book exists as possibility in your mind, and imagination becomes its living form. By shifting your state to that which already is, you become the one worthy to open and read the book; you become the power that moves the page from darkness to light. Practice this now by resting in the I AM, and allowing the next line of your life to appear as you affirm your own sovereignty.

Practice This Now

Assume the state: I AM the reader of my life; revise now that the next page is mine to read. Feel it real by dwelling in that I AM reading and letting the chapter turn today.
