Neville Goddard on Revelation 6:7-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Revelation 6 in context

Scripture Focus

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 6:7-8

Biblical Context

With the fourth seal opened, the vision presents a pale horse whose rider is Death, followed by Hell; power is given over a quarter of the earth to kill by sword, famine, death, and beasts. It marks a dramatic inner event—an invitation to awaken to higher consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the reader who trusts the inner law, the pale horse is not an external catastrophe but a symbol of a state of consciousness that has forgotten its source. Death, named for the end of old patterns, and Hell, trailing behind as the habit of fear, are not ‘out there’ in the world but within your own mind where attention rests on lack, loss, or separation. The fourth part of the earth represents the slice of life where you have believed a separate self ends, where the I AM seems to shrink and the sense of completion wanes. When you hear that power was given unto them, understand that you have conferred authority to these states by forgetting your true nature. The remedy is not to fight Death but to awaken from the dream by turning your awareness back to the I AM — the living, unconditioned awareness that you are. Then the horse dissolves, not through denial but through recognition: fear becomes insight, loss becomes renewal, and the outer world rearranges to reflect your inward state. You are invited to reign from that interior throne where life is forever renewed.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, breathe, and assume the state 'I AM the light of my own awareness' as your present reality; visualize Death and Hell dissolving into light as you hold the awareness steady.
