Elpis Israel by John Thomas
(The Hope of Israel)

Part First

THE RUDIMENTS OF THE WORLD

Chapter 3.

Probation before exaltation, the law of the moral universe of God — The temptation of the Lord Jesus by Satan, the trial of his faith by the Father — The Temptation explained — God's foreknowledge does not necessitate; nor does He justify, or condemn, by anticipation — The Serpent an intellectual animal, but not a moral agent, nor inspired — He deceives the woman — The nature of the transgression — Eve becomes the tempter to Adam — The transgression consummated in the conception of Cain — A good conscience, and an evil conscience, defined — Man cannot cover his own sin — The carnal mind illustrated by the reasoning of the Serpent — It is metaphorically the Serpent in the flesh — God's truth the only rule of right and wrong — The Serpent in the flesh is manifested in the wickedness of individuals; and in the spiritual and temporal institutions of the world — Serpent-sin in the flesh identified with "the Wicked One" — The Prince of the World — The kingdom of Satan and the World identical — The Wiles of the Devil — The "Prince" shown to be sin, working and reigning in all sinners — How he was "cast out" by Jesus — "The works of the Devil" — "Bound of Satan;" delivering to Satan — The Great Dragon — The Devil and Satan — The Man of Sin
