Printed by Hazell, Watson, & Viney, Limited, London and Aylesbury.
Pember presents the relevance of Biblical events and spirit-appearances to modern séances, mediums, and encounters with elements of the spiritual world and underworld. A beautifully written, smoothly digestible piece of literature and the best study and explanation of the supernatural world ever written. Earth's Earliest Ages argues that rival non-Christian groups are evidence that end times are being fulfilled.
These signs of the end times include: the Spiritualist churches, the Theosophical Society, and Buddhism. As far back as the beginning of time and within every major culture of the ancient world, the astonishingly consistent story is told of gods who descended from heaven and materialized in bodies of flesh.
From Rome to Greece and before that, to Egypt, Persia, Assyria, Babylonia, and Sumer, the earliest records of civilization tell of the era when powerful beings known to the Hebrews as Watchers and in the book of Genesis as the b'nai ha Elohim ('sons of God') mingled themselves with humans, giving birth to part-celestial, part-terrestrial hybrids known as 'Nephilim.' 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall. 80 pages.
