Is God the Universe ?
Revelation Revealed
This web site explores the notion that the terms God and Universe may well be synonymous with each other. In other words God did not create the Universe because the Universe is God in action. This accidental interpretation changes the way the Bible reads, in my case for the better. It also leads to a novel and new interpretation of the book of Revelation, revealed as a cyclic set of stories which parallel the whole of the Earth or World History.
There have been many who have their own interpretation or explanation of the book of Revelation. I personally cannot understand many of them. It drove Isaac Newton insane puzzling over it. The reason may be that there were a few pieces of advanced technology and advanced science missing. These were yet to be discovered to make full sense of it. John wrote this on the visitation of the spirit of Jesus while on Patmos Island. The churches were splitting in different directions. People were being imprisoned and tortured and executed in the name of religion. The only chance of repairing the damage would be to wait until we were technologically advanced, mature and enlightened enough to be able to understand it. That time may be now.
This interpretation of the Book of Revelation appears to fit well with scientific knowledge. The secret of the double edged sword from the mouth of Jesus and the secret little scroll, is that for some, such as scientists, who want to believe in God but are disillusioned, they will find what they discover here as sweet as honey in the mouth. They may have their faith restored. For others it will turn their stomach sour. These are the ones who have a fixed preconceived idea of Biblical interpretation, which nothing must change no matter what. If you are happy with your faith and it must not change, don't bother reading further. If you do proceed, then expect your stomach to churn, pleasantly I hope as you go through the process of Chapters 7 to 12. Start at Chapter 7 if you want. You can always dip in and out later. Just to reassure you, there is still a God in fact more relevant than you imagine. There is still a heaven. The deceased are still alive. The Bible is a holy book. The world will not end for absolutely ages. The only difference is that the Bible may read a little different after. Try a little test. Read through the book of the prophet Joel in the Old Testament; it's only short. Try and work out what its on about. If you read "Is God the Universe?" it may be different after. You will understand it in a different way. People have always thought that Revelation was something to do with and relevant to Biblical times. This interpretation puts a different light on it. In this interpretation, it has little to do with Biblical times. Don't do Chapter 12 without having done 7 -11 as some points may not make sense.
This was uploaded to the Internet for the very first time on 28th February 2004. Thanks to the pupils of St. James's School for igniting the spark, to Granville Harrison for swapping the ideas around in my head and to the spiritual inspiration of Saint John. The whole thing is dedicated to all the sentient animals that have suffered needlessly at the hands of humankind.
