But we are not to fall into the opposite error, and refuse to see in these words, so startling from the lips of a rigid monotheist, a real prophecy of a divine Messiah, dimly as the utterer may have perceived the figure which he painted. It is often applied to human heroes, and here carries warlike connotations, kindred with the previous picture of conflict and victory.
The old Egyptian gods had grown in his dominions very unfashionable, under the summary iconoclasm to which they had been subjected by the Monotheist Persians the Puritans of the old world, as they have been well called. Indeed, all the dolls, and the treasure of the dolls' temples too, had been carried off by Cambyses to Babylon.
No such grand theology had ever appeared in the world before, so far as we know; and it is the forerunner of the later monotheist religions, while it is even more abstract and impersonal, and may well rank as a scientific theism. +Anher+ was the local god of Thinis in Upper Egypt, and Sebennytos in the Delta, a human sun-god.
Or is it not rather the Consciousness of the Whole that strives to become the consciousness of each part and to make each partial consciousness conscious of itself that is, of the total consciousness? Is not this universal soul a monotheist or solitary God who is in process of becoming a pantheist God?
