The Jewish “Double” The Resurrection of the “Body” of Christ In Section XV (Part 18 in our study) we noticed how Jesus Christ, the “head of the body which is the church” (Col. 1:18), was “born from the dead” at the beginning of the fifth millennium. We shall now see how the date of the beginning of the birth of the Church is indicated in the Great Pyramid. The election of the members of Christ began after the death and…
THE SECOND ADVENT It is understandable that what is presented here is not sufficient alone to convince anyone of the invisible presence of our Lord, nor was it ever intended to do so. As was stated from the very start, the Great Pyramid is only meant as a collaboration of the divine testimony, it was never meant to take the place of the written word. The scriptures alone are sufficient for the man of God; however the Lord provides this…
The Fifth Day and the New Creation; Number Five in the King’s Chamber The “Holy” and “Most Holy” of the Tabernacle in the wilderness, which symbolize the spirit-begetting and the spirit-birth respectively of those who are called to share the heavenly condition with Jesus Christ, are represented in the Great Pyramid by the Ante-Chamber and the King’s Chamber (See Vol. 1, beginning at Par. 177, The Great Pyramid, Part 37). The first to enter heaven, the “Most Holy,” symbolized in…
The Birth of the Savior, and the Advent of the Messiah In Section X (Part 14 in our study), we saw how the dates of the birth and baptism of Jesus Christ are marked at the upper end of the First Ascending Passage. These calculations are specially connected with the Plane of Human Perfection, as symbolized by the level of the Queen’s Chamber floor. We find that the Pyramid contains an additional corroboration of the dates of both of these…
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…
A brother writes: In John 18:36 our Lord is recorded as saying “My Kingdom is not of this world” ; we take this to mean that the consecrated have no part in the affairs of this world, as it is not our time to do so. When the Church is complete (head and body) then we will meddle in the affairs of this world. In the meantime we should be living our lives as pilgrims and sojourners. We are in…
