of the flesh, and becoming Master of them, that so at
length he himself also may become the pleasant possession of
the Ruler of all.
Chapter IX: The Two Kingdoms
For he who persists in evil and is the servant of evil cannot
be made a portion of good so long as he persists in evil, because
from the beginning, as we have said, Elohim instituted
two kingdoms and has given to each man the power of becoming

be a servant of both kingdoms, therefore endeavor with all
earnestness to commit yourselves to the covenant and Torah
of the good King. Wherefore also the True Prophet, when He
was present with us and saw some rich men negligent with
respect to the worship of Elohim, thus unfolded the truth of

since nothing was impossible to Him, He even perceived the
thoughts of men, which is possible for none but Elohim only.
He proclaimed the kingdom of Elohim; and we believed Him
as a True Prophet in all that He spoke, deriving the confirmation
of our faith not only from His words, but also from His
works; and also because the sayings of the Torah, which many
generations before had set forth His coming, were fulfilled in
Him; and the figures of the doings of Moses, and of the patriarch
Yaakov before him, bore in all respects a type of Him.
It is evident also that the time of His advent, that is, the very
time at which He came, was foretold by them; and, above all, it
