Primogenesis: The Story the Bible Tells

by Howard B. Rand

"...There is no other work like Primogenesis and nowhere else will such a wealth of facts be found, substantiating the truth of the Scriptures...It will heighten your interest in the Bible and increase your knowledge of the great drama of the ages unfolding in its pages. Primogenesis is a textbook without parallel for use in Bible study.”This is a book of five Book of Creation, Book of Beginnings, Book of the Exodus, Book of the Law and Book of the Kingdom. Here, contained in one volume, is the fascinating account of creation, the beginning of human history, the rise of civilizations, the organization of the Kingdom of God on earth and its subsequent history durign the successive stages of its growth in preparation for its future destiny and greatness.This one book lays a foundation of the Scriptural knowledge upon which all accurate research must rest. As its title suggests, it deals with first the preparation of the earth for the habitation of mankind; the beginning of human governments; the beginning of the Race of the Book; the beginning of the Kingdom of God at Mount Sinai. The earlier books of the Bible are basically a study in origins and all the essential background they provide is presented here in a verse-by-verse exposition in an easily-read style.Before Christians can expect to secure the blessings of peace promised to those who are righteous, they must believe all that God has declared to be true throughout His Written Word. They must also, in the light of their belief, follow His instructions and His admonitions. With this thought in mind, this book was written so that believers may be supplied with evidence to sustain their trust in the inspiration of the Word of God Written.There is no other work like Primogenesis and nowhere else will such a wealth of facts be found, substantiating the truth of the Scriptures. Particular emphasis in this book is placed upon the veracity of the account of creation, the certainty of the authorship of Moses of the books he wrote and the correctness of the account that follows his records.As the story is told, it will heighten your interest in the Bible and increase your knowledge of the great drama of the ages unfolding in its pages. Primogenesis is a textbook without parallel for use in Bible study.

About the author

Howard Benjamin Rand (June 13, 1889 - October 17, 1991) was an attorney, inventor, author/theologian, publisher and the founder of the Anglo-Saxon Federation of America, a British-Israelite religious organization. In 1937 he established Destiny Publishers in his home town of Haverhill, Massachusetts and until 1968 was the editor of their publication The Message of The Covenant, later renamed Destiny Magazine.[1]

Mr. Rand graduated from the University of Maine in 1912, where he received the LL.B degree and was a member of Phi Alpha Delta. He passed the bar in Maine and Massachusetts, and served in the Maine National Guard during the great Bangor fire. An inventor, he held many patents, including the electric incandescent lamp in 1916, and the automobile headlamp socket. He held patents in the United States, Great Britain, Australia and France. His book 'Digest of Divine Law' (ISBN-10:10-9101) 1943, was a comprehensive overview of the application of the Divine Law in national life.

He married Hazel Gertrude Smith in 1913.
Mr. Rand even made a modest foray into politics, becoming a three-time candidate for Massachusetts state office on the Prohibition Party ticket.
Not very much is known about his religious background except that he was raised a Baptist but later became “non-denominational” -- doubtlessly a development stemming from his growing acceptance of and knowledge in traditional Christian thought and teaching.

Rand was assisted by William J. Cameron, the public relations executive to Henry Ford. Cameron interpreted the Bible as a racial book and was one of the earlier active proponents of the proposition that "The Jews are not God’s chosen people."[2] This began the transition of the doctrine of British Israelism into Anglo Israel theology. Also known as the Covenant People Message, True Israel theology, Euro Israelism, and Anglo Israelism. Another outgrowth of these ideas is known as Christian Identity. It should be noted however, that the term “CI” has been become exceedingly ambiguous in the postmodern age and is claimed by a wide variety of people subscribing to everything from ancient aliens theories to the most hardline tenets of Christian Identity; which have accumulated criticisms from a growing number of Christian Nationalists that it has strayed dramatically from Orthodox Christian dogma.

Due to this confusion the aforementioned terms have come into use amongst serious Christian scholars who believe in the veracity of Anglo Israel theology and embrace it as part and parcel of orthodoxy yet wish to distance themselves from the more extreme factions under the Covenant theology umbrella.

Mr. Rand shook of his mortal coil and joined the ranks of the Church Triumphant being full of years at the age of 101.

Currently reading, it is very interesting, it discusses different aspects using different books, commentaries and science to describe the creations and also discusses the Pre-Adamic world...

Will update more as I continue to read and study the various subjects in this book (which this book seems to be more of a commentary).

Thought-provoking, enlightening, a little speculative in some spots, but very in-depth and revelatory. Be sure to read with the Bible in hand to check for accuracy.
