A Comparison between the Great Pyramid and the Tabernacle In order to properly comprehend this subject we will need to first briefly examine the Tabernacle once again, some of you may be already familiar with the Tabernacle, but for the sake of those who are not and/or those who simply need a bit of a refresher we should be happy to explain. “The Tabernacle which God commanded the people of Israel to construct in the Wilderness of Sin, and in…
The Symbolism of the King and the Queen’s Chambers more fully considered. “With a view to the proper understanding of this subject, let us first consider what are meant by “Mortality” and “Immortality.” Mortality signifies a state or condition of liability to death; a condition in which death is a possibility, not in which death is a certainty. Immortality signifies a state or condition not liable to death; not merely freedom from death, but a condition in which death is…
The Horizontal Passage to the Queen’s Chamber “The Horizontal Passage to the Queen’s Chamber is divided into two parts, the first portion six-sevenths of the total length with a low roof scarcely four feet above the floor, and the terminal portion, one-seventh of the total length, roomier owing to the drop in the floor at this part, by about twenty-one inches. C. T. Russell suggests that the full length of the Horizontal Passage, from the north wall of the Grand…
THE QUEENS CHAMBER continued The air-channels of the Queen’s Chamber are very interesting. Their existence was not known till so recently as 1872 A.D., exactly six thousand years after the creation of Adam, according to The True Bible chronology. Scratched on the walls above them we read the words: “Opened, 1872.” In “Our Inheritance in the Great Pyramid”, Professor C. Piazzi Smyth relates how Mr. Waynman Dixon, perceiving a crack in the south wall of the chamber, which allowed him…
THE QUEENS CHAMBER “As indicated in a former letter, the masonry of the Horizontal Passage is very symmetrical. For a length of 64 feet from the beginning of the roof at the Grand Gallery end, each wall is built in two equal courses. In each of these courses there are 15 stones of uniform size, namely, 41¼ inches in length, and half the height of the passage in breadth Plate XI. The vertical joints in the upper course are in…
THE KINGS CHAMBER Continued “We (The Edgar brother’s) photographed the mouth of the south air-channel of the King’s Chamber as it appears on the south wall—Plate CXLII. The surface of the wall immediately above and to the east side of the mouth is much broken away, and the opening is therefore much larger than it was originally. The second color photo above shows just how extensive the damage has been done to the south wall around the southern air-channel;…
THE KINGS CHAMBER Having now examined the Ante-chamber we pass beneath the second low passage which leads us to the Kings Chamber carefully watching both our heads and our feet to insure we don’t stumble over the ¾ rise in the floor of the Kings Chamber. The King’s Chamber, constructed entirely of immense beautifully squared and leveled blocks of dark polished granite, is the chief apartment in the Great Pyramid, the one “to which, and for which, and toward which,…
All who are called may take the second step—SANCTIFICATION To sanctify is to set apart or separate to a special thing or use. God’s will is that all justified ones should be sanctified or set apart to his service as we read: “This is the will of God even your (believers) sanctification.” 1 Thess 4:3. There are two parts to sanctification–first ours, secondly God’s part. As we have seen, God provides for our justification as men and then calls us…
These are the three steps by which we are to reach “the prize of our high calling“–glory, honor and immortality. Not one of these steps can be omitted by those who win the great prize, nor can they be taken in any way but their order as directed in the Scriptures. Justification comes first as a necessity, because, all the human race being sinners, as such God could not either sanctify or glorify them; therefore, by some means, they must…
The Grand Galley In the last section we saw that the Grand Gallery, in its relation to the Ante-Chamber as the School of Christ, symbolizes the condition of the justified who are called or invited to present their bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God—Rom. 12: 1. Those who do so are urged to forget those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things that are before, press toward the mark for the prize of the High…
