In this light it is also seen that the purpose of the allegory which is presented i the second and third chapters of Genesis is to show the unreality of matter and evil, or the so-called mortal mind, in contradistinction to the grand real.ity o! God's perfect spiritual creation. Rightly interpreted this allegory exposes the status of mortal man-shows that this so- called man is a falsity, a mere counterfeit of the man of God's creating.
