Neville Goddard on Revelation 7:1-3 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Revelation 7 in context

Scripture Focus

1And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.

2And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,

3Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

Revelation 7:1-3

Biblical Context

Four angels stand at the earth's corners holding back the winds, while a sealing angel urges that the servants of God be marked in their foreheads before harm comes to earth, sea, or trees.

Neville's Inner Vision

All the symbols are your inner life now. The four corners are the four quarters of your consciousness: memory, perception, imagination, and will. The winds are restless thoughts threatening to disturb your sense of earth, your sea, your trees—the theater of your daily affairs. When the sealing angel of the living God rises toward the east, it is your I AM affirming a defined, sacred state: I am held secure in God; I and God are one. The seal in the forehead is not a mark on the skin but a decision of awareness—a fixed idea that cannot be swayed by transient winds. Until that seal is placed, stirring conditions can seem to threaten; after it is set, disturbance recedes and a calm ecology prevails in your interior and outward life. The eastward moment is the dawning of certainty: presence is limitless, and your inner decree governs what arises.

Practice This Now

Assume the end: say softly, I seal the servants of God in my mind now; feel the stillness as a seal slipping across my forehead; stay with that state for a few breaths.
