Neville Goddard on Revelation 6:4-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Revelation 6 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

Revelation 6:4-7

Biblical Context

Red horse carries war that removes peace and incites killing; the black horse with scales signals famine within the inner economy, where value is weighed. Oil and wine remain unharmed, and the fourth seal invites inner witnessing and revision.

Neville's Inner Vision

All the horses are your inner states, moving across the stage of awareness. The red horse is not a distant army but the fever of anger and desire for control that robs you of peace. When you identify with that energy, you 'kill' peace in your own world; yet you can revise by centering I AM here and now, letting the sword fall into a harmless emblem of discernment rather than strife. The black horse with scales reflects inner valuation—the mind's wheeling balance sheet of worth. A penny for a measure of wheat becomes a belief that lack rules your appetite; you can reprice it by recognizing abundance in consciousness. The oil and wine that are not harmed are your spiritual oils and wines—anointing, joy, intuition—unaffected by appearances. And the fourth seal invites you to behold a new scene: you are the observer who can rewrite the script. When you insist 'I AM' as your real state, the imagery rearranges to reveal peace again under the same sky of perception.

Practice This Now

Assume I AM is the sole reality; revise the scene by declaring, 'There is always enough, and I know peace now,' and feel that truth filling your whole being.
