Synopsis
Excerpt from The Keys of Saint Peter: Or the House of Rechab Connected With the History of Symbolism and Idolatry
A mysterious silence rules over the period of nearly five hundred years, which separates the events chronicled in the Old Testament from those that are recorded in the New Testament. Yet the New and the Old hang together. There are Scriptures, which refer to these times, and they form part of the Greek version of the Hebrew Canon, of the Septuagint, which was published during the three last centuries of the pre-christian era.
That Alexandrian collection of holy writ was pre eminently, if not exclusively, the Canon of the Apostles, and of their Divine Master. Those Scriptures which were excluded from the Hebrew Canon, for reasons hitherto not generally known, form not a supplement, but the very centre of the Greek Canon, and they explain, why the Septuagint is a freely handled version, and not a literal translation of the Hebrew Canon.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the enigmatic 500-year gap separating the Old and New Testaments, shedding light on a period often shrouded in mystery. The author explores the Apocrypha, a collection of scriptures excluded from the Hebrew Canon but central to the Greek Septuagint, arguing for their significance in understanding early Christian history and the teachings of Jesus. Central to the book's exploration is the relationship between the Kenites, also known as Rechabites, and the Hebrews. The author traces their intertwined lineages back to figures like Moses, Abraham, and Melchizedec, highlighting the Kenites' role as custodians of ancient traditions and their influence on prophetic institutions in Israel. The book delves into the complexities of Jewish society during this period, exploring the dynamics between different groups like the Sadducees, Pharisees, and Essenes. The author's investigation extends to the development of secret traditions and their transmission through generations of scribes. By examining texts such as the Book of Enoch, the Psalms, and the Targums, the book reveals the intricate web of symbolism and hidden wisdom that informed early religious thought. This exploration culminates in an analysis of the New Testament, demonstrating how the teachings of Jesus and the early Christian church were deeply rooted in the traditions and prophecies of the past. Ultimately, this book offers a fresh perspective on a crucial period in religious history, illuminating the profound influence of ancient traditions and hidden wisdom on the development of Christianity and the understanding of its core teachings.
