While sailing through the Caribbean Sea, Neville describes feeling himself lifted up to see an enormous seated crowd, larger than the biblical five thousand but gathered just as scripture describes them. He identifies the vision with John 6's feeding of the multitude, noting that he did nothing himself to feed them, yet reads the experience as scripture's 'eternal drama' playing out literally in his own life -- one of several mystical experiences he says preceded his water-walking vision, his birth from above, and his finding of David.
