Sickle of Truth

The Gospel age: Call and Trial of Christ’s “Body” The Gospel Age is the continuation of the Jewish Age in point of time; yet there is great difference between them, even as the Grand Gallery which symbolizes the Age of Grace, although in direct upward continuation of the First Ascending Passage which symbolizes the Age of Bondage, differs from it in most other respects. We have already fully described the symbolism’s by which the Grand Gallery represents the upward walk…

The Great Pyramid’s Corroboration “As the Law Age ended, and the Gospel Age began, at the first advent of Jesus Christ, it is confirmatory to find that the important dates of his birth, baptism and crucifixion are symmetrically indicated in the Great Pyramid by three connected points at the upper end of the First Ascending Passage, where the Grand Gallery and Horizontal Passage begin. We have already seen that in the symbolism’s of the Pyramid, we have in the Descending…

The Dates of Christ’s Birth, Baptism, and Crucifixion “The Scriptures contain sufficient data to enable us to accurately determine the year when Jesus was born, and also the dates of his baptism and crucifixion. The present A.D. date, as fixed in the 6th century by Dionysius Exiguus for the beginning of the Christian era, is now generally recognized to be in error by those who have given the matter careful study. Ussher’s scheme of chronology, given in the margins of…

Restoration of the Nation and Kingdom of Israel “Seeing that the eastern edge of the upper end of the Well-shaft indicates the two dates when, first the Kingdom, then later the Nation of Israel passed into the hadean condition, which is symbolized by the Well-shaft (Secs. XLII, Part 10 in our study, and XLVI, Part 12), it may be asked: Since hades represents that state of death from which there will be an awakening, does the Great Pyramid indicate when…

The Kingdom of Israel “Careful examination of the First Ascending Passage discloses wonderful symmetry in the arrangement of its masonry. As pointed out in Vol. I, Pars. 460-470 (The Great Pyramid, Part 23 on the forum or Part 20 on blog), the special feature of this passage is its unique “Girdle-stones,” with their remarkable “pointers” (See Plate CXXVIII below). This feature is so peculiar that one is led to the conclusion that these “Girdle-stones,” as Professor Smyth named them, must…

The Oath-Bound Covenant  “It has now been proved that the First Ascending Passage indicates several distinctive periods of time in connection with the children of Abraham, such as the duration of the Law Covenant or Law Dispensation (Sec. XI, Part 9 in our study), the period of the Nation’s separation from the world (Sec. XLII, Part 10), and the course of the faithful remnant of that Nation as well as the Birth of the Savior and the First Advent (Sec….

The Nation of Israel’s period of Separation from the World “Inasmuch as the Descending Passage represents the down-ward course of the Gentiles, and the First Ascending Passage the people of Israel, the “Point of Intersection” where the two passages diverge may be considered as indicating the date of the Nation of Israel’s separation from the other nations of earth, namely, the Exodus from Egypt, 1615 B.C. (See “The True Bible Chronology”). Note: Keep in mind what we had learned from…

The Law Dispensation “This time-feature shows how the First Ascending Passage indicates the duration of the Law Dispensation, the exactly defined period during which the whole nation of Israel was subject to the Law. It had its beginning at the Exodus from Egypt in Spring 1615 B.C. when the “Passover,” a most important feature of the Law, was first observed (Exod.12:40-43); and it ended in Spring 33 A.D. when Jesus Christ, the antitypical Passover Lamb, was slain by the cruel…

The End of the Second Dispensation “According to the Scriptures, the end of the Second Dispensation is as clearly defined in the purposes of God, as was the end of the First when the flood swept away the old “world of the ungodly ” (2 Pet. 2:5). We have our Lord’s authoritative statement, that the suddenness which characterized the destruction of the First Dispensation, was likewise to attend the destruction of the Second (Luke 17:26-30; 1 Thess 5:2, 3; Rev….

The “Present Evil World” “Corroborative testimony regarding the Scriptural indication of the date when the “Present Evil World” legally ended (Gal. 1:4), is contained in the Great Pyramid by a number of time-measurements, some of which we have noticed. In addition to these, the Pyramid also confirms our understanding of the exact duration of the second “heavens and earth” which, as the Apostle Peter informs us, began after the old “heavens and earth” perished in the flood, and end in…
