About this eBook

Author Lord, John, 1810-1894
Title Ancient States and Empires
For Colleges and Schools
Summary "Ancient States and Empires" by John Lord is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work is designed primarily for educational purposes, aiming to provide a concise and connected history of the ancient world over a span of four thousand years. Lord focuses on significant events, nations, and characters, seeking to integrate both secular and biblical references to create a comprehensive narrative from early civilizations through key historical developments. The opening of the work sets a foundational understanding of ancient history, focusing initially on the Antediluvian world, and progresses through the creation narrative, the fall of man, and the subsequent events leading to the Great Flood. It outlines the origins of humanity, illustrating the establishment of divine institutions such as the Sabbath and marriage, and delves into the genealogy and pivotal moments of early biblical figures. The narrative discusses the consequences of Adam and Eve's transgression, Cain and Abel's conflict, and the promise of redemption through the lineage of Noah, setting the stage for the exploration of various ancient civilizations that follow. This introduction serves as both an allegorical and factual basis for the themes of divine providence and human history that Lord intends to weave throughout the book.
