Neville Goddard on Revelation 8:1-13 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Revelation 8 in context

Scripture Focus

1And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.

2And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.

3And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.

4And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.

5And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.

6And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.

7The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

8And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;

9And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.

10And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;

11And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.

12And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.

13And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!

Revelation 8:1-13

Biblical Context

After the seventh seal is opened, there is silence in heaven. Then seven angels with trumpets prepare to sound, while incense with prayers ascends and fiery judgments unfold on earth.

Neville's Inner Vision

Open the seventh seal within and hear the stillness that follows every true wish realized. The silence in heaven is the moment your consciousness pauses long enough to permit a new state to form. The seven trumpets are the seven streams of thought you have allowed to run unchecked; your choice to persist in a new feeling will set them to work. The incense and the prayers are your disciplined desires—when you couple them with unwavering belief, the smoke ascends and the throne of awareness recognizes your presence. The fire cast to earth is your act of felt reality; as you revise a limitation and dwell in the feeling that what you seek already exists, outward events shift to match. The third-part warnings are not doom but a sign that the old state resists change. So when you hear the woe, return to the pause and to the sensation of the fulfilled wish. The trumpet voices are the inner voices of creation, sounding only as you consent to inhabit your heightened self.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and, for five minutes, imagine you are before the throne and declare one wish already fulfilled; feel the silence and let the belief descend as if it were real. Carry that felt state into ordinary moments today.
