Interesting. I like the hourglass metaphor, but I'm not so sure about the "God Hath No Dominion" part. I don't remember seeing anything in the show that limits the Supernatural version of God's power in that way. If God made the creation inside the hourglass, wouldn't he have to have made it out of the nothingness outside the hourglass? Wouldn't that mean that he does have dominion over that nothingness? Just because we haven't seen Gabriel resurrected does not prove that God could not do so if he wanted to. He created Gabriel out of nothingness in the first place, there is no reason he couldn't do it again.
I've wondered in the past if the God of the Supernatural 'verse is the Jewish/Christian/Islamic God or not. (He seems most like the Jewish version of God to me.) All of those religions insist that God is absolute and all-powerful. If the Supernatural God does have limits on his powers, then he is not the god that we are familiar with in temple/Sunday school. If you're right, maybe the Supernatural 'verse God is just the biggest pagan god on the block?
