Edgar Cayce's Story of the Old Testament: From Joshua to the Golden Age of Solomon

this is a look at the bible story as told through "past life readings" given by world renown clairvoyant Edgar Cayce interspered with insightful commentary from his bible classes. This is Volume 2 of a 3 volume series that has been hailed for its life changing insights into the historical biblical story and its relevance to the seeker for spiritual truth.

This book benefits from the numerous Cayce readings and quotations about the subject time period. One might wonder if it was a coincidence that so many people who obtained readings from Cayce had lived during that time. Maybe God caused this so that Cayce could use his miraculous psychic abilities to explain the bible which is something Cayce wanted to do to help others. The discussion is mainly about the different people who became leaders of the Israelites during this time period when they went from judges to kings. A re-occurring theme is that every person receives from God abilities, opportunities, and free will. Cayce's view of the greatest potential achievements of a person is to know God's will in their life and to strive to achieve this by working with God. Solomon probably represents the best example of someone who achieved greatness as Cayce viewed greatness by being in tune with God's direction. But then Solomon gave in to the negative side of his nature and abondoned his former glory. This is after God had told Solomon there had never been anyone like him before nor would there be anyone like him again on earth and this came true. This is especially significant seeing that Solomon was a wealthy person who had access to women and anything else he wanted already. So Solomon developed a desire to reject God for no other reason than he wanted to. Cayce indicated during his bible study sessions that "Very few people can stand prosperity and Solomon was not one of the few." Cayce actually feared becomming wealthy based on his knowledge of what happened to Solomon which is an indication of the greatness of this man who I have come to admire. The lesson is that anyone, no matter how much God has been a part of their life or chosen them, can reject God at any time. This was true even of Christ Himself. And if the individual chooses to reject the spiritual values this has implications not only for them but for others, maybe even for an entire nation or an entire world.
