ABRAHAM—THE FATHER OF KINGS, CHAPTER 4 OF KINGDOM OF GOD VOLUME 2

ABRAHAM—THE FATHER OF KINGS, CHAPTER 4 OF KINGDOM OF GOD VOLUME 2 Pages 24 to 30 We come again to another prominent character, that is Abraham, a very remarkable man in his day and age; although at the present time men look upon him as a kind of an old shepherd, a man that attended flocks and herds and sheep, a sort of herdsman and a shepherd; and there was very little of him anyhow except that he lived in his day almost as a barbarian. That is the opinion that many men have formed of him—that he was something like our backwoodsmen, some of our farmers who have not mixed up with the elite of society, or made themselves familiar with the intelligence that pervades the world. I look upon him as another character entirely, and from information that we can gather from revelations that have been referred to, we find that there was something very peculiar about him. We read his history and we find that he was a man that sought after righteousness, that he desired to obtain more righteousness, that he examined the records of his fathers, that he found in examining the records, tracing them back through the flood, clear away back unto Adam’s day, he found many circumstances that were connected with man-kind, not only to Adam’s day, but before the world was. In doing this, among other things, he found he had a rightto the priesthood.
