The Great Pyramid is 454 feet high or (5478 pyramid inches above mean socket level), which is equivalent to a modern day 48-story building. It covers a little over 13 square acres or 568,500 square feet with a volume of 90,000,000 cubic feet. There are 201 courses or steps to its summit, another 31 feet 8 inches above this summit is the geometric apex formed by the corner edges of the projected casing masonry (shown in red). “If the average…
“The builders paid special attention to the corner stone’s. They had to support and absorb the enormous weight of the pyramid that pressed down and sideways. To achieve this, they have to interlock with the stones lying on top of them and below them. These stones were especially massive and reached far into the core masonry. Next a second course was laid on top. Each joint had to be overlapped not only by the stone on top but likewise by…
Let us now continue with our examination of the foundation structure of the Great Pyramid, once the central rock core and surface area around the central rock core (the fundament) had been thoroughly leveled (as depicted in our last post), the next step in the building process would be the establishment of the platform level and the pavement. “The payment is a distinct piece of masonry, and should not be confounded with the platform, the front edge of which projects…
“In the center (beneath the pyramid structure), the rock core is left standing but is terraced, so a rock outcropping with steps is left in the middle (depicted by the red line in the above illustration). This is important, because the rock core has a different coefficient of shrinkage than the stone blocks that are used for the pyramid body. If you don’t consider this fact, the structure will develop displacements and fissures. To avoid this you have to interlock…
“This is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith.” This is the faith which is built upon the testimony of God’s Word—a sure foundation. The Great Pyramid Gods stone “witness” likewise has been built upon a sure foundation, a very unique foundation. Unlike your typical buildings in which when speaking of its foundations one looks toward the earth, here we must look to the heavens, for this building, spiritually speaking has been built from its top to its…
As was stated in our previous post the testimony of the Lord’s stone witness has been kept hidden from the world, but shortly sometime during the beginning of the Mediatorial phase of the kingdom its testimony will be delivered to (Egypt) the world, then and only then will they be prepared to appreciate the testimony of this particular witness. It is very possible that sometime during the opening stages of the Mediatorial reign the Great Pyramid will be completely refurbished…
“Ancient Egypt was divided into two regions, known as Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt. To the north was Lower Egypt where the Nile fanned out with its several mouths to form the Nile Delta. To the south was Upper Egypt, stretching to Syene. The two kingdoms of Upper and Lower Egypt were united in 3000 BC, but each maintained its own regalia. Thus, the pharaohs were known as the rulers of the Two Kingdoms. While the labeling of “Upper” and…
Let us now consider the Scriptural testimony in support of the Great Pyramid and its testimony. “In that day there will be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt and a pillar to the LORD at its border. And it will be for a sign and for a witness to the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt…” (Isa 19:19, 20) The Three Prophetic Conditions There are three requirements of prophecy set forth…
The ancient writer, Strabo, said of the Great Pyramid, “It seemed like a building let down from heaven, untouched by human hands.” “We are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God afore prepared that we should walk in them…Now, therefore you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the…
“To the Great, the Mighty God whose name is the LORD of hosts… great in counsel and mighty in work… who has set forth signs and wonders in the land of Egypt even unto this day…” Jer 32:18-20 As Students of God’s Word it is only natural that we should find ourselves drawn to anything relative to the divine revelation which we believe in any way would lend aid to our faith and understanding of God’s plans and purposes toward…
