We can see Jesus’ mercifulness and Forgiveness of Sin in “The Woman Caught in Adultery” in the Gospel according to John. In the Revelation, however, we cannot but feel the strictness of Jesus as a Judge. There is no Forgiveness of Sin here. Blake seemed to feel something confusing in Jesus’contradictory facets in the Bible and moreover, to understand it was wrong. Therefore, he decided to correct the Bible by writing A Vision of the Last Judgment. Blake boldly regarded Jesus in the Revelation as Satan. Blake’s Jesus seemed to demand the Bible’s Jesus to commit self-denial. The Bible’s Jesus shows Forgiveness of Sin, but it appears not to be perfect to Blake. Blake’s Jesus shows Continual Forgiveness of Sin which means to forgive others, continually, and through doingthis, to realize a world of absolute love and harmony.
