Prophetic
Confirmation:
"The Bible in Stone"
"I tell you
that, if these (people) should hold their peace,
the STONES would immediately cry out." (Luke 19:40)
Indeed, as
Isaiah 19 states, the Great Pyramid is a marvelous stone witness to the
Lord. The striking religious symbolism of the Great Pyramid and it’s
amazing corroborations of Bible prophecy and chronology have prompted
the name "The Bible in Stone."
The following chart will
illustrate this corroborative testimony. The black
lines of the chart break down Bible History and prophesy. When
superimposed over the passage systems of the Great Pyramid, note the
amazing correspondences of history with the symbolisms of these passage
systems. The Egyptian names for these passages (*) provide clues as to
the symbolisms intended by the Pyramid’s architect.
The most important
features of God’s plan were carefully written into the blue print of
the Great Pyramid. These ages are not arbitrarily drawn, but precise
measurements of the chambers and passageways coincide inch by inch
(pyramid inch = one year) with man’s history as detailed by the Bible.

The
Present Evil World
This is the "night of
weeping" from which all men groan to be released. (Rom. 8:19, 22; 2
Pet. 3:6-13) There is some righteousness in the world, but evil
predominates.

"Hall of Truth in Light"*
28 feet high, 155
feet long, but only 6 feet wide. Its steep, narrow, but vaulted climb
symbolizes the privileges and difficulties of the "narrow way to
life" which Christ’s faithful followers walk at the present
time and throughout the Christian Age. It leads to the King’s
Chamber, which represents heaven.

First
Ascending Passage
"Hall of Truth in
Darkness"*
Only the Great Pyramid has
ascending passages, making it unique among any of the other pyramids.
The first of the Great Pyramid’s upward passages represents the
promise of life given to all Jews who could keep the law. It is
blocked at its lower end by an immovable 50-ton granite plug. Granite
in the Great Pyramid symbolizes that which is divine. Thus, the
granite plug demonstrates that none could gain life during the Jewish
age because none could keep the perfect requirements of the divine
law.

Descending
Passage
"The Descent"*
A slippery, downhill
passage, Jesus called it the "Broad Way" to destruction.
(Matt. 7:13) All men have traveled this path toward death, but all men
will gain a complete opportunity for life through Christ in the
resurrection.

The Well
"Well of Life"*
Not really a well, but a way
of escape from death to life for those in the lower reaches of the
Pyramid. It symbolizes Christ, whose death as a ransom sacrifice will
provide a sway of escape for all–even those in the "pit"
of death.

The Pit
"Chamber of the
Ordeal"*
Its sides and ceiling are
finished, but its floor is unfinished and extremely uneven. Thus, it
is "bottomless." This symbolizes the condition of death. All
men will be raised from the dead by Christ with a fresh opportunity
for life. Job 33:24; Acts 24:15

King’s
Chamber
"Open Tomb of
Resurrection"*
With granite walls and
life-sustaining air passages, the King’s Chamber is the largest and
most beautiful room. It is symbolic of divine life–immortality–the
condition of Christ’s faithful followers in heaven. There they will
rule and bless mankind. Rev. 20.6

"Chamber of

This large chamber
symbolizes the everlasting home for all men upon the earth. After they
reach perfection in Christ’s Kingdom, "there will be no more
death, neither sorrow, crying, nor pain." Rev. 21:4

6/7 of its length is cramped
and low, and the last 1/7 has room for a man to walk upright. This
symbolizes 6,000 years of "night of weeping" followed by a
1,000-year Sabbath rest and refreshing, which God promised his human
family. Isa. 26:9; 35:1-10

The
World to Come...
Wherein dwelleth
righteousness. This is the "morning of joy" for which all
men pray when they utter the words, "Thy Kingdom come, thy will
be done on earth..." The first 1,000 years of this endless age is
set aside in God’s plan for the restoring of man and the conquering
of sin and death. Acts 3:19-21; 1 Cor. 15:25

A "Witness Pointing
to Jesus"
In the Scriptures, Christ Jesus is likened to
the head cornerstone of a pyramid. Usually, the cornerstone is at the base
of a building, however, with a pyramid, the cornerstone is the top stone,
and all other stones must conform to it, so that the final structure
itself looks exactly like the top-stone. A pyramid is the only structure
which offers this unique feature. The crowning feature of God’s Kingdom
fulfilled will be Christ, the acknowledged Head over all–its top stone.
Each symbolic stone will be fitly framed into the glorious building. That
it does represent Christ is indicated, not only by its exact fitness as a
symbol of Christ, but also by numerous references to the symbol by
prophets, apostles and by our Lord Jesus himself.
Isaiah 28:16 refers to Christ as the
"precious cornerstone." Zechariah 4:7 refers to its placement at
the top of the completed edifice, with great rejoicing, saying, "He
shall bring forth the headstone..." The Prophet David, too, refers to
our Lord, and uses a figure of speech exactly corresponding to that of
this stone "witness" of Egypt. He says, prophetically, from the
standpoint of the future, "The stone which the builders rejected is
become the head-cornerstone. " (Psa.118:22-24)
Our Lord applied this very prophecy to
himself, showing that he was the rejected stone, and that Israel rejected
him, under the leadership of their priests and Pharisees. Matt. 21:42-44;
Acts 4:11) This is especially appropriate, because the Great Pyramid has
no top-stone, nor has one ever been found.
The pyramid figure represents perfection and
completeness, and speaks to us in symbol of the plan of God, showing that
"in the dispensation of the fulness of times, he will gather together
[into one harmonious family, though on different planes of being], under
one Head, all things in heaven and on earth, under Christ"–all not
being conformable being cut off. Eph. 1:10; 2:20-22–Diaglott |
