- Relates To The Crime Of Murder. God Instigates The Crime. Abel Kept Sheep. Cain Tilled The Ground. Cain Brought Vegetables To God, And Abel Brought The Firstlings Of His Flock And fat. God’s Taste Ran In The Meat Line; He Was Somewhat Of An Epicurean. He Respected Abel And His Offering, But Did Not Respect Cain’s. Then God Asks Cain Why He Is Cross, And After Cain Kills His Brother Abel, He, God, Says: Where Is Thy Brother Abel? And God Dispossesses Cain And Drives Him East Of Eden To Arabia. A Very Arbitrary Landlord This God. 182
- Chapter V: The Fourth Chapter Winds Up With Enos The Son Of Seth. Verse 26: “Then Began Men To Call Upon The Name Of The Lord.” Now, Adam Lived 930 Years, Seth 912 Years, And Enos 905 Years. God During This Period Was Wholly Occupied With These People. Murder Is The Only Incident Of Importance During The First Thousand Years. God Takes A Long Rest For Nearly 2,000 Years Before Anything Of Importance Occurs. 182
- Chapter Vi, On The Sons Of God, Etc., Is Next. I Beg To Remind The Reader We Are Still In Chaldea, Near The Gulf Of Persia; Near The River Euphrates; Near The Garden Of Eden, Where God Created Man; Where We Found Gold And Precious Stones; The Place Where Murder Was Committed; Near Arabia, Etc. The Geographical Location Is Important, And Let The Reader Also Remember That The Whole Tract Of Land Where All These Transactions Are Supposed To Have Taken Place Is Not So Large As Any Moderate-sized State In Our Union. 187

All Things Are With Them Profane Which With Us Are Sacred; And Again, Those Practices Are Allowed Among Them Which Are By Us Esteemed Most Abominable. They Sacrifice Rams By Way Of Reproach To (Jupiter) Hammon. An Ox Is Also Sacrificed, Which The Egyptians Worship Under The Name Of Apis,” Etc. 282

- Chapter V, Verse 1: “I Am Come Into My Garden, My Sister, My Spouse. I Have Gathered My Myrrh With My Spice; I Have Eaten My Honeycomb With My Honey; I Have Drunk My Wine With My Milk; Eat O Friends; Drink Ye, Drink Abundantly, O Beloved.” 334
- Chapter Vi, Verse 1: “Whither Is My Beloved Gone, O Thou Fairest Among Women? Whither Is My Beloved Turned Aside? That We May Seek Him With Them.” 337

- Chapter XIV. 370
- Chapter Viii, Verse 8: “And He Shall Pass Through Judah; He Shall Overflow And Go Over, He Shall Reach Even To The Neck, And The Stretching Out Of His Wings Shall Fill The Breadth Of The Land, O Immanuel.” This Really Means The Son Which The Prophetess Conceived, And Called Maher-shalal-hash-baz. 390
- Chapter Ix, Verse 21: “Manasseh And Ephraim, And Ephraim And Manasseh; And They Together Shall Be Against Judah,” Etc. He Talks In A Confused, Mystified Fashion, Alluding Now To This People, Now To That; At One Time To The Tribes And At Another To The Moabites, Assyrians, Then To Egypt Or Zion; Dreams Of Tyrants, Hypocrites, And His Hopes Revived About The Remnants Of Israel. When He Speaks Of The Child He Has Not The Remotest Dream Of Christ. He Has No Foreknowledge, Except What His Judgment Suggests. He Feels Annoyed And Irritated, Then His Hope And Aspiration Soothe And Comfort Him, And In Chapter XI He Describes A Most Happy State Of Affairs: “The Wolf Also Shall Dwell With The Lamb, And The Leopard Shall Lie Down With The Kid, And The Calf And The Young Lion And The Fatling Together, And A Little Child Shall Lead Them” (Verse 6). “And The Cow And The Bear Shall Feed; Their Young Ones Shall Lie Down Together, And The Lion Shall Eat Straw Like An Ox” (Xi, 7), Etc. 390
- Chapter Xxxv, 1: “The Wilderness And The Solitary Place Shall Be Glad For Them And The Desert Shall Rejoice, And Blossom As The Rose.” Christians Say It Means The Joyful Flourishing Of Christ’s Kingdom. 392
- Chapter Xlix: “Listen, O Isles, Unto Me; And Hearken Ye People From Afar; The Lord Hath Called Me From The Womb; From The Bowels Of My Mother Hath He Made Mention Of My Name.” This Is Supposed To Mean, Christ Being Sent To The Jews Complaineth Of Them. 394
- Chapter Lv: “Thus Saith The Lord, Where Is The Bill Of Your Mother’s Divorcement, Whom I Have Put Away? Or Which Creditors Is It To Whom I Have Sold You? Behold! For Your Iniquities You Have Sold Yourselves, And For Your Transgression Is Your Mother Put Away.” It Is Said That This Means, Christ Sheweth That The Dereliction Of The Jews Is Not To Be Imputed To Him, By His Ability To Save. This Is The Christian Interpretation Of The Above Passage. It Is A Misrepresentation Of Facts As Well As Meaning. Why Twist, Torture, And Falsify It? 394
- Chapter Xxiii, Verse 5; “Behold The Days Come, Saith The Lord, That I Will Raise Unto David A Righteous Branch, And A King Shall Reign And Prosper And Shall Execute Justice And Judgment In The Earth”—meaning, Christ Shall Rule And Save Them. 399
- Chapter Xxxi, Verse 22: “How Long Wilt Thou Go About, O Thou Backsliding Daughter? For The Lord Hath Created A New Thing In The Earth. A Woman Shall Compass A Man”—meaning, Christ Is Promised. 399
