The second Adam’s 1000-year “day” “We read that “death reigned from Adam to Moses” (Rom. 5:14); and that the law of Moses, although “ordained to life,” was found after all to be a way to death, owing to the weakness of the flesh (Rom. 7:10). When, however, Jesus Christ came at the end of the Law Dispensation and abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the Gospel (2 Tim. 1:10), the opportunity to “pass from death unto…
We will now examine scriptures which teach that that many in the Church, the Professing Church (the church nominal), as well as the True Church will, for a time, be ignorant of the Lord’s presence, AND of the “harvest“ and the ending of this age, while he is actually present, and the harvest work in progress. The closing verses of Matt. 24, from Verse 42 on, are very significant. In Verse 37 our Lord had shown that the world (as…
Adam’s fall from Perfection “In the time-measurement just detailed (our previous post), Adam in his perfect state is represented as standing on the leveled rock, outside of the Pyramid. In the Pyramid itself the perfect human nature which Adam enjoyed before his transgression is particularly symbolized by the Queen’s Chamber, while the “Plane of Human Perfection” in the general sense is represented by the level of the Queen’s Chamber floor (As seen in the diagram above). Now we shall find,…
“Our Lord’s Parousia in the Harvest” “The Greek is a very exact language: a fact, which greatly enhances its value in giving exact expression to truth. Thus, for instance, in our common English Bibles, the word COME is used to translate thirty-two Greek words, each of which has a fine shade of difference. Instances: “Ephistemi” signifies to overtake, as in Luke 21:34–“COME upon [overtake] you unawares“; “Sunerchomai” signifies to gather or come together, as in 1 Cor. 11:18–“COME together in…
The first Adam’s 1000-year “day“ “While the roof-commencement of the Descending Passage indicates the date of the flood, which inaugurated the “Present Evil World” (as noted in our previous post), Adam’s “day” of condemnation, in which the world was started on its downward course to destruction, is indicated by the floor-commencement, i.e., the north edge of the “basement-sheet.” As we proceed with our consideration of the Pyramid’s symbolical time-measurements, we shall find that these two indications are consistently recognized throughout….
“In Like Manner” What, now, is taught by the statement of the angel at the time of our Lord’s departure–Acts 1:11–“This same Jesus which is taken up from you into heaven shall so come, in like manner, as ye have seen him go into heaven“? A careful examination of this text will manifest its harmony with the foregoing. Many seem to think the passage reads, as you SEE the Lord ascend into heaven, so, in like manner, you shall SEE…
The Flood and Christ’s Baptism “The reader will agree that Professor C. Piazzi Smyth’s opinion regarding the “basement – sheet” of the Descending Passage, that its present north-beginning was designed by the ancient Architect to form an integral part of the Pyramid’s symbolical system, receives strong support by the mathematical calculations presented in Section XXI. We are not surprised, therefore, to find that the important date of the flood is accurately indicated at this part of the Pyramid; for the…
We continue now with our study of the manner of our Lords Second Advent, we were previously examining some seemingly conflicting scriptures in this regards. The scripture we had examined last was (1 Thess 4:16) in regards to the “Shout”, “The Voice of the Archangel”, and “The Trump of God”. “IN FLAMING FIRE” The next of these symbolic statements can be readily understood, if the proper meaning of symbols were borne in mind. It reads, “The Lord Jesus shall be…
The Entrance of the Great Pyramid Having we hope sufficiently outlined the basic construction of the Great Pyramid showing how its various passages and chambers symbolize the various features of the Divine Plan of the Ages we would now like to take a look at some of its time features as recorded by the measurements of these selfsame passages and chambers. However before we can begin this it will prove necessary first to establish a starting point from which to…
Seemingly Conflicting Scriptures “There are some statements of Scripture with reference to the manner of the Lord’s return and appearing which, until critically examined, appear to be contradictory of each other. And no doubt they have for centuries served the divine purpose of concealing the truth until the due time for it to be understood; and even then, from all except the special class of consecrated ones for whom it was intended. For instance, our Lord said, “Behold, I come…
