The Son Revealed
He said that we’ve got to change our concept of space and time; that with today’s knowledge of the structure of the atom, we must now begin to accept the fact that the entire space-time history of the world is laid out, and we only become aware of increasing portions of it successively; and it doesn’t matter what portion of time presents itself to us. I would go back to a thousand years before, and it’s just as real as it was then, for that section is done. I’ve played it; I’ve played all these. Then comes the One who awakens me, who is the Christ that was formed in me, and He is my son David. So you could drop tonight and find yourself in the year three thousand. Now we are thinking about what we are going to do in the year two thousand, and all these wise men coming forth with their opinions; yet they forget that only last year Richard Feinman who was at Cal-Tech – and he is considered one of the greatest theoretical physicists in the world today, and he won the Novel prize in physics for a paper he wrote in 1949; and that paper said that no longer can man believe that the future is a slow development of the past; that the future is not the unfolding of the past. The entire space-time history of the world is already laid out, and we only become aware of increasing portions of that which already is. So the play is finished. God’s playing everything as it will be consummated, as told us in Scripture. “As I have planned, so shall it be. As I have planned, so shall it stand.” (Isaiah 14:24). And it is simply coming through the entire play; and after having played all the parts, you come out.
The entire history of the world, including all individual experiences, is a pre-written, finished play, already laid out in space-time. Individuals are actors playing all parts, and their awareness unfolds successively through this already existing reality.
