JOI NT PREFACE.·
-
TBIS book aims at two things-(a) the presentment or Christ
as the Seed of the Woman; (b) to draw aside the curtain and
expose the schemes of .the enemy now marshalling his forces
for _the last great conflict.
I. THE SEED OF TIIE WOMAN. The Eighth chapter of Pro-
· verbs connects Christ, as the Divine Wisdom, with the Crea-
-....::.
.~ tion, _for "without Him was not anything made that was
~ -, made" (John i. 3). He is there actually identified with God's
"
. ~ wisdom in Creation. To that wisdom there is not only a reli-
. . gious side, but one purely philosophical and scientific ; for in
.:::::: the Word of God, religion and science are not regnr<led as
•,
disconnected. Such thoughts are of man ; they are not God's
: thoughts.
~,/
~ , The treatment of tl1is subject in the book, as far ns regards
~\ the philosophical aspect of it, is based upon tho Geometrical
· ·.: Philosophy. And this geometrical philosophy finding its first
1. 1 cognate exponent in the movements of heavenly bodies, we

to God's purposes therein. Further, .t hat a geometrical figu-
ration or tho words or Scripture runs through tho accounts

\Vlsich Scripture concludes, on the foundations or tl10 twelve
. apostles of the Lamb. At this point \Ve make Lold to take a
new <lcpnrture. 'Ve carry the war into tlse enemy's country.
If tho Lord be with us, wo will not fear Goliath. It is the
custom in the present dny for Christians to spend time in
pnrrying the assn.ults or I\ psemlO-pl1ilosopl1y calling itself
- i;cicuce~tlso philosophy or IF. 'rh<'so nssnults nre intendeu to
prove the Dible to be false by means of science. We reply
that · tlse Dible at.tncks these would-be philosophers on their
own ground, and we cl1arge t11om with neglect or tl1e funda-
ment.n.1 fn.ct or RCicnce, tho Htlll'S pnH!lngo t)1ro11gh tho twolvo

We believe that this o.spect of tho work of the Lord Josue
Christ cnn nlono clenl with certain nrgument11 of tho solnr-
mythologist ngnostics who l1n.vo been nttncking tho lliblo from
tl1e dnys of Voltaire and Dupuis down to those of Mr. S. L:iing
and Mr. Stewart Ross, and leaves them hopelessly stranclcd ;
also that the combined accounts of the Croatiou 11nd the Flood,
and the rebellion at Babel, give n complete oxpl:nnn.tion of the
origin of the pernicious systems of initiation ancl nstrology-
'vhicb have never lost their holU on a world they more par-
ticularly enthralled for over two thousand years n.c.
In short, we maintain that the whole work of the devil in
denial and falsel1ood combined, stands condemned and exposed
by the philosopl1y of Genesis and all that has been founded
thereon throughout Holy Scripture.
2. TnE SEED OF TUE SERPE~T. We wish to bring before
Christinns nn enormous problem, well known to the sceptic nnd
the philosopher, but of which tlicy are little cbgnisant, known

much speculation nn<l thongl1t nmong11t learned men for cen-
turies. We nlludo to the Secret of the Mysteries. Chnlden,
Egypt, Greece, tl10 Guostics, tho Ro!?ierncians, and the Froe-
mnsons show \ls nn \1t1intorruptod chnitl of men holUing fonn·
ciously n secret so profound thnt they hnve never divulged it.
We claim to expose it. And this claim is based on the appli-
cation to the· subjec~ of a simple method that no one seems to
have tried. There is one great enigma given us in the Apo-
