The author discusses the significance of the mysterious Border Sacrifice which had been carried on by the Chinese Emperor from time immemorial until the Imperial system was overthrown in 1911. In this sacrifice, an unblemished bull is given to the God of Heaven, ShangDi (Highest King). Confucious knew about this ritual but did not understand it. He realized that whoever did understand the meaning behind this would be able to govern the world. In the recitations of the Border Sacrifice, the Emperor acknowledges ShangDi as the Creator. The author matches what is reported in the Hebrew Bible with what is written in the ancient Shu Jing and the Border Sacrifice recitations.
