In the universe of Truth, matter is unknown. Hence the eternal wonder,—that infinite space is peopled with God's ideas, reflecting Him in countless spiritual forms.
God creates neither erring thought, mortal life, mutable truth, nor variable love.
Was not this a revelation instead of a creation?
The book of Revelation is almost completely unfamiliar to me. In reading this chapter, The Apocalypse, I don’t know what is going to happen next in the biblical text. This is the first chapter where I have had to read and re-read to figure out what is going on biblically and from Mary Baker Eddy’s explanation.
The point she makes that I was most unaware of, so far, is that Genesis and Revelation both start with true stories and then proceed with false stories. So just for clarification, where does the true Revelation story start and end? If you know, please comment below.
She comes back to two points that are interesting but have been a while since she mentioned:
What does she mean by touches the hem of Christ’s robe? Is the figurative interpretation that someone reaches out for Christ?
In this reading Mary Baker Eddy makes a few points about the two stories that I would like to note them:
She makes a point at the end of the reading that Genesis and Revelation
seem more obscure than other portions of the Scripture, because they cannot possibly be interpreted from a material standpoint. To the author, they are transparent, for they contain the deep divinity of the Bible.
