The book describes that although the Holy Bible tells us everything that we need to know for our spiritual benefit, it leaves many questions open to interpretation. Some of these issues are discussed in this book.

In relation to some of these questions the author provides his own personal interpretation of Scripture which is cited as being based upon the result of study, meditation, prayer and practical experience.

Some individual readers may disagree with the writer's own views but that should not detract from such an excellent work which should in my own opinion be required reading on this particular subject.

From the rebellion of the Adamic/human race in the Garden of Eden described in Genesis, the book discusses both the rebellion of Lucifer (the devil/Satan), warfare in the angelic/spiritual realm, the destiny of man and the provision of man's Salvation through Jesus Christ alongside the ultimate victory over Satan & his demonic realm/purposes.

Many issues are addressed as this extremely well written study progresses including "Why did God allow evil in the first place?", "If evil was defeated at the cross, why does it continue to exist?", "Does spiritual warfare make a difference?" and "How are we to await the end of the age?"

This is indeed an essential study for those interested in spiritual warfare and provides indispensable information on so many relevant matters.

I highly recommend this work and would respectfully propose two other books for additional reference; "Your Adversary, The Devil" by Dwight Pentecost & "The Serpent Of Paradise" by Erwin Lutzer. Thank you for your time.

Derek Prince is such a brilliant writer. This book is very easy to read but there is so much knowledge and insight written on the pages of this book. Prince has such a gift of disecting every word of scripture and uncovering literal meaning. I am not much of a reader, but this book is awesome!

I could not put this book down. This is an amazing biblical explanation on the gap theory believed by many Christians and biblical scholars, from Genesis 1:1 to 1:2. Tohu and Bohu are the original greek term that describe a desolateness a result of God's judgment. There are only 3 other parts in the bible that this term is used, and one is in Genesis 1:2. This is a brilliant work that clearly shows there was a prior existence before Genesis, and how and why Satan Fell. This book is power packed with eye opening revelations and understanding. Absolutely brilliant use of scripture that really feeds your Spirit. The Glory be all to God! And thank God for Derek Prince.

I am not sure about his theology. He says that he belives some type of beings other than humans existed on this plant. He also says that the Bible does not discuss this. The Bible only discusses the human race. So why talk it about it at all? Whether another race existed or not shouldn't be the topic. The book did not have the answers I was looking for and was not a help to me.
