God becoming the universe is an idea that is related to theories of something called pantheism. Pantheism is an idea that believes God is not a separate being, but is actually everything there is around us in the universe. So in pantheism, God is the universe and all the things that are in, and happened in, the universe all at the same time. It means that instead of God being a person or spirit like other religions believe, He is actually the whole universe.
