Neville Goddard on Revelation 6:2-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Revelation 6 in context

Scripture Focus

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 6:2-8

Biblical Context

The passage shows four horsemen—conquest, war, famine, and death—as outer symbols of inner states that move through human experience, signaling judgment and renewal.

Neville's Inner Vision

See the riders not as distant prophecies but as your own states of consciousness. The white horse with a bow and crown is the imagination in action, the I AM crowned and moving forward, conquering by sheer inner conviction. The second rider, red, who takes peace from the earth, is the rising surge of conflict within when old limits are challenged. The third, black, balances scarcity and valuation—your mind weighing outcomes, measuring what you permit to enter your life. The call to 'hurt not the oil and the wine' is a reminder to guard the precious anointing of spirit and joy even amid scarcity. The pale horse Death, followed by Hell, is not a catastrophe outside you but the closing of one phase of your inner weather, making room for the next. These riders are not fate but inner movements you observe and, more importantly, revise through awareness. As you align with the I AM, the kingdom of God rises within, and the outer prophecies become your inner conditions translating into a new life.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the white-horse state—strong, victorious, and crowned with awareness. As you feel it real, revise any fear or lack, declaring, It is done in the I AM.
