Would this be proof that the ‘Book with Seven Seals’ was a modern book ?

Would this be proof that the ‘Book with Seven Seals’ was a modern book, somehow seen in the past ?

Background
Here are various characteristics from an ancient account regarding this ‘future’ book with seven seals.

Christian Bible: Revelation 5:1
“And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals”.

Associated with this ‘book’ were “a lion” (Rev 5:5), “four beasts, and a Lamb” (Rev 5:6) and four horses, red, black, white, and pale (Rev 5:2-8), and “the noise of thunder” (Rev 5:6).

Associated with this sealed book is the number of the seal, being 144,000 (Rev 7:4).

If I were to claim that I had a copy of the ‘ancient book with seven seals’ that was documented by John on Patmos island in circa 95CE, would the following be proof of that claim ?

Showing you the proof
Sitting on a chair, and in my right hand, I show you, a modern electronic ‘book’.
To run its program, I activate its file that has a data number of 144K.
Upon activation there is a loud roar of breaking surf, sounding just like thunder.
Within this digital book, on its main menu page, are seven sealed doorways (menu items) placed around the image of a Lamb.
Four of these doorways (icons) are animal pictures.
One of those doorways is an image of a Lion.
Behind another doorway, are a series of horse pictures, being red, black, white, and pale horses.
etc., etc.

Later
If asked by one of your friends, who was not with you, to describe what you were shown, would the following be a reasonable account ?

I saw in the right hand of him who sat on a chair, a book written within, and it had seven sealed doorways. He showed me the number of the sealed file, being 144,000 bytes, which when run, made a noise like thunder.
Once inside, around about the Lamb were four beasts.
The lion was opened.
Behind another seal I saw four horses, being red, black, white, and pale.
etc., etc.

IF it could be shown that this modern digital ‘book’ was NOT made in relation to nor influenced by the Revelations story…

Would the description in the Christian Book of Revelation be proof that a copy of this modern digital book (somehow) was seen by John on Patmos Island and its contents faithfully documented by him ?

Utter tosh! Sounds like a Michael Moorcock fantasy plot.

That's the tricky bit. I don't see how it would be possible to prove this.

Even then coincidence is still another possible explanation for this apparently imaginary concurrence.

...and totally irrelevant even if it was.

All you would have is proof that humans have imaginations and that over the course of x years two people have thought of something similar. wow.

skb, quite right. I was just in the process of editing my post to say exactly that when you posted.

Here is a link to a page that presents some of the imagery of which I spoke in the OP.

That page looks to me like a great insight into how people can see connections that aren't really there.

I note that it is copyright 2008 and called "World Breaking Discoveries" but that it hasn't changed the world yet.

Why aren't people jumping on this astonishing evidence?

This is just childish nonsense. As Bob said, a good example of seeing connections where none exist - exactly the sort of thing that fans of Nostradamus engage in, and not too far from the "image of the Virgin on a slice of toast" nonsense. Humans are very good at working from partial knowledge, indeed our ancestors' very survival depended on it - that face partly hidden in the bushes might be an enemy - so we are are very good at joining the dots both literally and metaphorically. Normally this ability serves us well, but in children and fantasists it runs wild and results in the monster under the bed, the nanothermite in the WTC, or the supposed predictions from ancient times.

Yes. But I found it fascinating. The effort that went into it, The imagination needed to create all those bogus conections.

And, as far as I am aware, all fairly harmless. He may be trying to sell some crap on Amazon but he's not trying to con people out of enormous amounts of money, or stop them from taking life-saving medicine or anything.
