The Lion Within Opens
Revelation 5:5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Revelation 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
An elder comforts the speaker, declaring that the Lion of the tribe of Judah and the Root of David have prevailed. This inner victory opens the book and loosens its seven seals.
Neville's Inner Vision
In this moment, the elder is your higher self speaking through the vehicle of scripture. The Lion of the tribe of Judah and the Root of David is not a distant hero but the sovereign consciousness you already possess, the I AM that stands above fear and limitation. To prevail means to hold a state of awareness long enough for perception to bend to your will; to open the book is to reveal the inner script you have been writing with imagination. The seven seals are the habits, doubts, and stories that have kept you from realizing your true authority; they dissolve as you identify with the kingly principle within. The Kingdom of God is not a distant realm but a living state you entertain by insisting, I AM. You are the sovereign in your own realm, and the inner victory of this kingship makes the outer world begin to reflect a new, claimed reality. The elder’s words invite you to know yourself as the author who prevails over every limitation.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and declare, 'I am the Lion of Judah; I have prevailed.' Feel the royal energy rise within and imagine the seals dissolving as you open the book of your life.
