Neville Goddard on Revelation 8:8-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Revelation 8 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

Revelation 8:8-9

Biblical Context

The passage presents a fiery mountain being cast into the sea, turning a third of the sea to blood and causing the death of a third of sea life, with a third of ships destroyed—symbolizing upheaval and judgment affecting portions of life.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the inner-eyes of Neville Goddard, this vision is not a meteorology but a map of consciousness. The burning mountain stands for a fixed belief or rigid sense of self you have treated as real. When this belief is cast into the sea, your outer life appears to shift: a third of the sea becomes blood, a third of the sea creatures die, and a third of ships are destroyed. Yet the sea is your inner life, and the outer change reveals the power you hold to revise. The judgment is consciousness calling you to identify with a higher state and to let the old patterns die so life may be born anew. Providence is the support of your inner state, and as you acquire the I AM as your primary reality, the outer part of your life reorganizes to reflect that truth. The event, then, is the symbolic release of limitation in favor of a truer realization of selfhood.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine a great fiery mountain rising inside you, then cast it into the sea of your life. Silently decree, I AM the ruler of this inner sea; adopt a higher state and feel it real until the old belief dissolves.
