moved the meaning of every representation as far from the life of the individual as it was possible to take it. The Battle of Armageddon is the Battle of Incarnation. We are deciding its issue by every act of present living. A likely derivation of the world traces it from the Egyptian title of Horus as Lord of the Two Horizons,
Har-Makhu; to which the Hebrews or Greeks added the Hebrew word for "Lord,"
Adon; making it
Har-Makhu-Adon, or "Lord God of the Two Horizons." And the
Ritual gives a significant detail in connection with the battle between Horus (
Har-Makhu) and the hosts of Sut. It is fought
at midnight (incarnation) and
on the horizon! This assuredly clinches its purely symbolical character.
We have considered the significance of the term
Makhu in the name of Horus or Har-Makhu. Another correlative name of Horus is Har-Tema, which signifies "he who makes justice visible." Har-Tema was lord of the double earth, wherein justice was wrought out in the form of real existence in the life on earth. The
Ritual says (Ch. 79): "I am earth, who maketh to come into being the seed which is sown." He is the power which brings the hidden things of God to light in matter.
Hints have already conveyed the general relevance of the great old scriptural term, the
Battle of Armageddon, and we have traced its origin
from the Egyptian Har-Makhu, with the addition of the Hebrew word adon, meaning "lord," at the end. The name signifies "the sun (spirit) power, lord of the balance between spirit and matter, standing on the horizon." The term has overcast the consciousness of deluded Christians with fearsome speculation and solicitude for so many centuries that its sane clarification at last in the glow of Egyptian symbolism is quite worth an additional paragraph.
