A Great Mystery: The Secret of the Jerusalem Temple (Deities and Angels of the Ancient World)

in This Thoroughly Provocative Book, The Late Eugene Seaich Made A Detailed Study Of The Intractable Mystery Of The Jerusalem Temple. Using Historical Sources And Ingenious Detective Work, Seaich Suggested That The Cherubim In Solomon's Temple Were Portrayed In A Copulatory Embrace. Aware That This Thesis Was Not Entirely Novel, The Author Built A Substantial Case In Its Favor And Traced The Influence Of The Atonement (at-one-ment) Theology Behind The Concept Through The Periods Of Israel's Wisdom School, Into The New Testament And Gnostic Sources, Up Through The Middle Ages.
