Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Veiled Majesty or Jesus in the Eucharist
IN the third chapter of Genesis we have an account of the interview which took place between the Creator and our first parents after their woeful act of disobedience. When they heard the voice of God calling them, they hid themselves in fear, for they knew it to be the voice of their offended God summon ing them to answer for their transgression. Ofttimes had its familiar accents thrilled their hearts with glad ness, but now it filled them with terror and remorse.
Burdened with the consciousness of their guilt, and beside themselves with fright, the hapless pair sought to hide themselves from the all-seeing eye of their Lord. But there was no escape from that all-con trolling Presence, and as they stood before Him, God questioned them, listened to their excuses, and finally pronounced sentence upon them.
From this narrative of the inspired writer it is evident that our first parents, in their state of inno cence, enjoyed the companionship of God. The voice that called Adam to rebuke him for his faith lessness was not a voice from heaven, like that which was heard at the baptism of Christ. It was the voice of God appearing in visible form the voice of the Lord God walking in Paradise at the afternoon That He was accustomed to walk in Paradise and converse with Adam and Eve is evident from the fact that they recognised His voice, when they heard it afar off, and knew Him when He stood before them.
