Neville Goddard on Revelation 6:1-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Revelation 6 in context

Scripture Focus

1And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.

2And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

3And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.

4And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

5And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

6And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

7And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.

8And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

Revelation 6:1-8

Biblical Context

The vision presents four horses—conquest, war, scarcity, and death—as symbolic movements within consciousness, reflecting how inner states express as external events.

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, the Lamb opening a seal is the moment you awaken a particular state of consciousness. The white horse, crowned and armed with a bow, represents the impulse to go forth and conquer in the field of your design—an insistence that life bend to your will. The red horse, taking peace away, marks the inner storm of fear and resentment that turns neighbors into enemies. The black horse with the scales reveals scarcity thinking—measuring all you have and all you lack, even while a voice proclaims a 'penny for a measure of wheat'—the sense that value is always scarce and uneven. The pale horse, Death, with Hell, signals the costume of identification with the body and ego—until you release that image and discover a higher life unfolding within you. Yet these steeds are not outer enemies; they are movements of your own consciousness, appearing to teach you where your attention has become fixated. By turning your attention inward, you can revise any of these states and reveal the throne of God within as your new normal.

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling of your wish fulfilled right now; speak I AM as your present identity, hold the feeling for a few minutes, then carry that state into your day as your new baseline.
