"Ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: and ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation." - Exodus 19:5–6
Book IV gathers the Hebrew and patriarchal current of the Royal Art: Eden, Fall, exile, covenant, prophecy, priesthood, Temple, kingship, sacred law, and the Golden Chain from Adam through Seth, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Solomon, the Essenes, and the threshold of the Christic mystery. It is the Book in which the Primordial Tradition enters history as lineage, covenant, land, people, ritual, scripture, and sacred memory. Book IV carries the Primordial Tradition forward as the patriarchal and Hebrew stream: the ancient preparation of the Temple, the Lost Word, the Messiah, and the royal road toward Christ and the Kingdom.
