[__ Science __ ] Does rev 4:3 with gen 1:1 prove that god is energy, despite god creating energy?

[Truth_is_powerful729292]

Rev 4:3 "and he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald."
Gen 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth"

Rev 4:3 was saying god looked like certain colors of the rainbow. It was a vision seen by prophet John. God would not let John be a liar regarding what he was seeing in his vision. John claimed that what he saw was god. God would not let his own prophet be a deceiver about who he saw in rev 4:3.

Gen 1:1 says that god created the heavens and earth. Amongst the heavens and earth, there is colors of the rainbow. That means God was creating the heavens and earth, and during those days of creating heavens he must've matched the description of what rev 4:3 says he looked like. That means he looked like colors of the rainbow even when he was creating the colors of the rainbow

After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.

Instructions to the seven Churches have been issued for edification and warnings of Gods chastisements and now John sees a vision of a door opening before him. The first voice he heard speaking to him was that of great power and authority similar to the powerful sound a trumpet makes. The voice tells John to draw in closer to Gods Spirit to see the visions of those things that are yet future.

After hearing this voice John was immediately overcome by the Holy Spirit and in this vision saw a throne was set in heaven and the Lord sat on it, Rev 1:10; Isaiah 6:1. John was not taken up to heaven, John 3:13, but was only caught up in the Spirit while he was on the isle of Patmos. God was being compared to a jasper and a sardine stone in all their splendor and beauty. On the Ephod that the Priest wore there were four rows of various stones that represented the twelve tribes of Israel being the sons of Jacob. The first stone was jasper representing Reuben being the first born and a sardine stone as being Benjamin the last son to be born. God is represented like these stones in vs. 3 as being the first and last as in Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end.

All the stones in between the jasper and sardine are those of Gods covenant he made with faithful Abraham in Genesis 12:1-3 that have remained faithful and have endured all persecutions even to death that sleep in the grave, 1 Corinthians 15:51-55; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17. There are yet many that even now and up to the time of Jesus returning in the air for his Bride that will die a martyr’s death in that which will come hereafter as John sees in his visions.

The rainbow round about the throne of God is his covenant promise he made with Noah in Genesis 9:1-13 that from henceforth God will never destroy this earth with an actual flood, but the flood or power of Gods wrath during the seven trumpet sounds will either cause many to repent and have eternal life with the Father or be cast into the lake of fire with Satan, the beast and the false prophet. The rainbow is also described as being emerald that is green in color which symbolizes that same covenant God made with Noah is also for all who are living and growing spiritually as they remain grounded in faith that is Christ Jesus no matter what comes against them.

John now sees twenty-four elders seated around the throne of God. The twenty-four elders in the heavenly sanctuary of God are responsible for worship, for the music of worship, and as such they stand as the gatekeepers of the house of God. The Elders in the Church here on earth are patterned after those in the heavenly realm, 1 Chronicles 24:7-19; 25:6-31; 26:12-19. These elders are clothed in white raiment which represents Gods glory in them and they have gold crowns upon their heads as they are Gods royal priesthood. The elders are representative of Gods chosen generations that he has called out of darkness into his marvelous light, 2 Peter 2:9 that are asleep in the grave and those who remain alive as God’s witnesses during the seven trumpet soundings before Jesus returns.

Rev 4:3 was saying God looked like certain colors of the rainbow.

First off, I'm uppercasing God. Why are you lowercasing God?

But second, this conclusion is invalid. Revelation does not say God looks like parts of a rainbow, nor does it not. It says there was a rainbow around the throne. That's like saying clouds look like rainbows, because rainbows exist in between the clouds. Yet no one contests that the same water droplets which form clouds...form rainbows, too.

Pretty much everything else you have from there, is founded on a flawed premise.

If you understand basic science you'd know that if a person looks like something, then his or her body is made of colors. According to physicists, physical traits always must include colors. So if you are a body, it has color to it. The body of god is no exception during Genesis 1:1, since god is the body talked of in rev 4:3. When John said he saw god, he didn't mean gods chair (throne) was the god he saw sitting on it. But apparently you want to play stupid and pretend you don't know the difference between gods chair and god sitting on it.
