FOREWORD For a long time I have been convinced that a simple, concise booklet on the Great Pyramid is considerably overdue. Many people have asked me where they can obtain such a book, written in language which they can easily understand, and which would give them a fundamentally sound understanding of the message of this great "Witness in Stone". It has often been impossible to place such a book in their hands. True, there are standard text books on the subject, classics in their way; but it is no disparagement to the authors and their monumental labours when I say that the average person has neither the time nor the understanding of technical terms to undertake the task of studying such volumes. To many earnest seekers after Truth, therefore, the subject has remained clouded in mystery, and this marvellous structure misunderstood, or, worse still, not understood at all. When, therefore, I found that Mr Page was contemplating a revision of his previous excellent booklet on the Pyramid, I assured him of my practical help in whatever way I could, and he immediately set to work on the considerable task of re-writing and supplementing chapters to make up a booklet which would cover the main features of the subject, with particular emphasis on the King's Chamber and the times in which we live. It has been my privilege to encourage him in this, and to feel that in some small way, I have a share in the publication of this booklet which I am sure will be eagerly greeted and which will fulfill a long-felt want. Wherever this subject has been presented in the simple, everyday language of the man in the street, I have found it to meet with wholehearted enthusiasm, especially when illustrated with diagrams. For that reason the reader will find the illustrations in this booklet a great help in understanding the salient features of the Pyramid. They will give him a readily grasped "bird's-eye" view of the passages and chambers, and so enable him to keep the Divine Architect's plan clearly in mind. In this way it is sincerely hoped that Faith win be established, nourished, and enhanced by Jehovah's "altar in the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof", and that the author's labour of love will contribute in its own way to the desire of the Almighty God of Israel that it shall be a "sign and a witness unto the Lord of Hosts" in these last days.

PREFACE This work was first undertaken during the latter part of 1940, in response to the demand for a simple introduction to a study of the supreme architectural marvel of all the ages. The typescript was purposely kept within certain limits, and war restrictions prevented publication until August 1944. A second edition was called for in 1948 to which material was added to bring greater weight of evidence to bear in the defense of the Great Pyramid, the Bible, and Anglo-Saxon-Israel identity against the various attacks to which they are subjected. Any attempt at Great Pyramid exposition must of necessity include these latter two subjects, as both are vitally connected with what, in the Great Pyramid, is nothing less than a geometrical expression of Divine Revelation. The text of this third edition stands substantially as in the second, although certain aspects have been enlarged to provide a clearer and more complete presentation of essential details. In view of so many erroneous theological interpretations space has been devoted, among other things, to the Jewish problem, to show the distinction between Israel and Judah; to the responsibilities and Divine destiny of the Anglo-Saxon-Celtic peoples - who are the true Israel of God in the world today, and thus the inheritors of His covenants with His people Israel - and to the Second coming of Christ, with the abolition of war and want, the removal of man's disabilities, the lifting of the curse from the natural creation and the establishment of a nobler, truer, and happier order, together with prophecy as related thereto. There is ample testimony to show that the utterances of the prophets of the Bible, the chronological time-periods and time factors built into the Great Pyramid all interlock. They undoubtedly support on another, and depend on one another so that to ignore any one of the three is to fall short of having all that is needed to possess complete understanding of the "times and seasons" of this generation. It is the secret, or hidden, things which chronology and the numbers in Scripture reveal to the diligent searcher who is thus able to understand and anticipate the closing events of the present world order. How amazing to think that one Mind is behind both the Bible and the Great Pyramid design. The recurrence of the same mystical numbers in both witnesses proves beyond all doubt that the Eternal Himself is their common inspiration. Moreover, it proves to us in these dark and doubtful days that the Bible's promises of restoration and blessedness together with world regeneration are true; the irrevocable pledges of the mightiest Power in the universe. To assist the reader a table of prophetic time-periods has also been prepared. It is over fifteen years since the second edition was published and much has taken place during this time. The brief reference to the King's Chamber has been replaced by details of important events since the south wall was reached on 20 August 1953, and timecycles which signify desolation and tribulation give way to those indicating restoration and blessedness as the early 1960s are passed. Many students of the Great Pyramid were expecting important and far-reaching changes in world events at the south wall date in 1953, but, because there was nothing of a spectacular nature on the particular day when the wall was reached a widespread reversal of interest in Great Pyramid revelation occurred. The Great Pyramid, people said, was wrong; the Bible was wrong, and all the lecturers must be wrong too. Such was the general attitude, except among those who know that this Monument unto the Lord of Hosts in the midst of the land of Egypt bore no false witness - they did

not lose faith in the Great Pyramid. At this point of time 95 per cent of the chronology of the passage system of the Great Pyramid had already been verified by history and surely it could not fail on the one date, 20 August 1953? Any failure rests with human inability to understand the significance of that date. Actually the commencement of the Great Falling Away took place, fulfilling Paul's prediction that this must come before the Day of Christ would be revealed. (11 Thess. 2:2-3) In his address at the Central Hall, Westminster on 8 July, 1942, Mr. Davidson made reference to the harm done to the Great Pyramid's Message by those who apply their own interpretations, often without knowing what they are talking about. Several posing as reliable interpreters are in this category. "No man can ever claim to be completely right; even the newspapers make mistakes daily, but no one ever points them out" said Mr. Davidson. Although the dating to which so much publicity had been given failed to come up to general expectations, the faithful remained alert and continued to watch and wait. Mr. Davidson continued his great work on the King's Chamber, and his last article before his death, bearing the title, "The Mystery of The King's Chamber 11 was published in the American magazine Destiny in May 1958. Considerable research has been carried out by many eminent and capable writers and the author has endeavoured to present a simple, understandable exposition of the largest and most important room in the Great Pyramid - the King's Chamber. As the horror of global travail and nuclear destruction darkens the horizon the fear-ridden are seeking means of protection and preservation, but those of deeper understanding have heeded the Master's injunction to look up and lift up their heads (Luke 21:28) and have placed themselves under the protection of the Everlasting Arms. "I will spare them", God promised through Malachi, "as a man spareth his own son that serveth him" (Mal. 3:17). Writing recently in the magazine Destiny Bertrand L. Comparet puts the matter very graphically:

"Therefore, our Lord said that when these things begin to come to pass, it indicates that our 'redemption draweth nigh'. Everything we have ever dared to hope for is included in that redemption. It is the restoration of all that was lost in the fall of Adam. It is the restoration of our rightful position as the sons and daughters of God; it is freedom from the crushing pressures of the Satanic word order; it is the leisure to live in peace and dignity, in a world where the wicked dare not raise their heads; it is an age in which righteousness never has to yield to evil; in which poverty, sin and tragedy are banished from the earth. With this prospect ahead of us, shall we fear the ending of the old, the beginning of the new?"

We are surely moving towards that point in the King's Chamber where Displacement is eventually overcome, namely 3 September 1968. Our social, economic and political structure is admittedly wrong. None is shaped according to the pattern on the Mount. We have disregarded and modified the Great Architect’s plans and specifications, and as a result the whole structure is wrong, and it is beyond human ingenuity to put it right. The displacement factor in the Great Pyramid has thrown out the alignment so that the apex, or chief corner stone will not fit, and we in our ill-organised society have ruled our Christ Who is "the Chief Corner Stone." Only the establishment of the Kingdom of God on earth can restore order out of the existing chaos.

The Witness

Defiant and aloof you seem to stand, In silent majesty upon the sand, Commanding North, and South, and East and West, Your secret safely hid within your breast. So you have stood, since Earth's first songs were sung In far off days when Time and you were young. Empires have passed you with their ensigns furled, Have passed, and slipped from sight across the world, But you have seen the centuries begun, And watched a million settings of the sun.

Though Time is old and worn, with vision dim, You stand in silent faithfulness to Him Who formed you, so that generations thence Might realise His great Omniscience. He who has graven us upon His palms, And sheltered us beneath His outstretched arms, Has built our Life within your mighty heart;

There in the silences you keep apart, Safe from the canker of the common sod, We find the Message of the Living God.

THE BIBLE IN STONE NINE miles south of Cairo in Egypt stands the only one remaining of "The Seven Wonders of the World," the Great pyramid of Gizeh. Great in more ways than one, for it is by far the largest building on the earth. There are over thirty Pyramids in Egypt, built in groups of four and eleven, and other numbers, at various places along the Nile. The most celebrated group is one of nine, of which three are commonly recognised, the remaining six being too small to be worth any attention. These are situated upon the rock of Gizeh, a natural formation rising up 100 feet from the sandy desert, and are known as the Pyramids of Gizeh. The most northerly and largest of these Pyramids is known as the Great Pyramid. It has been the subject of considerable study and speculation, has been investigated, measured and checked by eminent men of science from as early as 1637, until to-day, thanks to their efforts we have a Divine Revelation expressed in geometrical and mathematical language. Geographically the Great Pyramid occupies a remarkable position. It is situated in the very central point of all the habitable land portions of the globe. There is more land surface situated along the imaginary line running through it, North and South to the two poles of the earth, than along all the other meridinal lines of longitude all round the globe - moreover, it is so placed that it conforms to the geographical position given by the prophet Isaiah. We read in chapter 19, at verse 19, "In that day shall there be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt and a pillar at the border thereof to the Lord, and it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the Lord of Hosts in the land of Egypt . . . ." Biblical scholars have often wondered at, and misunderstood this strange expression of Isaiah, regarding something which was both 11 an altar in the midst of Egypt" and at the same time a "pillar (or memorial stone) at the border thereof to the Lord." The Great Pyramid fulfils these two apparently contradictory conditions. When lines are drawn N.E. and N.W. from the Great Pyramid to the coast-line of Egypt, and the arc of a circle is described with the Pyramid as centre, and one of the lines as radius, the arc is seen to touch the projecting points on the coast-line. Almost the whole of the Nile delta region is seen to be enclosed within the quarter circle which has been drawn. The Great Pyramid is thus at the centre of Upper Egypt, but at the border of Lower Egypt and the desert. It is seen that the Pyramid passage angle of 26 deg. 18 min. 10 sec. taken as a bearing North of true East passes directly over the site identified as Israel's crossing of the sea at the Exodus and bears directly on Bethlehem.

The Great Pyramid of Gizeh has for almost five thousand years been incomparable. Knowing it as we do to-day, we are not surprised that the Greeks named it "The World’s Greatest Wonder." It is by far the largest building on the earth. Its base covers 13 acres, with a circuit of nearly two-thirds of a mile, the four triangular sides each representing five acres. The length of each base side is 761 feet. The weight in pyramid cubits is estimated at 5,270,000 tons, including as it does stones weighing from 1 to 70 tons. Over 86,000,000 cubic feet of masonry were required to build this huge structure. The total vertical height is 454½ feet, and the sides which slope inward at a constant angle of 51 degrees 51 min. 14 sec. come together at that height to form a platform about 36 feet square. The Pyramid is not capped and from accounts which have come to us from ancient writers it never at any time received its cap-stone. There is a reason for this, which is explained later. The sides of the Pyramid are so built that they truly point N.S.E.W., that is, it is orientated astronomically, not magnetically, or by the points of the needle, which vary from age to age. Each side slope was originally cased in highly polished white limestone blocks, wrought with such exquisite skill as to be almost equal to modern optical instrument-maker's work. They did not vary from a straight line and accurate square more than the hundredth part of an inch in a length of seventy-five inches. These stones required most accurate cutting, and when finally in place the Great Pyramid resembled a gigantic stone mountain, the polished sides of which reflected the sun's rays in four immense beams like searchlights, which were easily visible over the whole of the ancient land of Egypt as they swept across it during the day. This perfection lasted for about three thousand years, right through our Lord's life-time, and for centuries after. The shining whiteness gave it the name by which it was known to Egypt, "Khuti" - "The Lights" in Hebrew" Urim", which always meant "Divine Light". Compare "Urim" and "Thummin", the Divine oracle of the Israelitish priesthood and Temple worship. Our present word "Pyramid" is thus derived, the Chaldean name "Urimmiddim" (Light measures) becoming "Pyramis" in Greek and signifying "Revelation measures", thus indicating that the Pyramid is a geometrical expression of Divine Revelation. Legends and traditions concerning the Great Pyramid have existed from the earliest times. All expressed the belief that the Pyramid was built under Divine Instruction and contained a Divine Revelation. Its massive size is evidence that it was intended to last for ages. Its particular dimensions more than suggests the hand of the Great Architect. It is the largest of all the pyramids and its passage system is different from them all. These other structures, so much alike in many respects, have misled scientists, but the Bible and the Great Pyramid have withstood the attacks of men and both retain their messages intact.

THE THREE "WITNESSESS” It may be well to explain the matter of "witness". The Bible tens us the pillar was intended to testify. Now a witness testifies to the certainty of a fact, and in a court of common law if the statement of two witnesses is accepted, then the evidence of three witnesses, who do not vary, ought to establish the facts to which they testify. God has given abundant evidence of His purposes, by pre-writing history for our instruction. The accuracy of His Word is established without question. Humanity's failure to recognise and understand revelation is unbelief. Well, we have three important and perfect witnesses and they are - the Written

8

Word, the Bible, the Pictorial Word or the heavens, and the Geometrical or Monumental Word in the structure under discussion. As our beloved Queen Elizabeth II at Her Coronation entered the West Door of the Abbey of Westminster, Her Majesty heard the words of the anthem, taken from Psalm 122, sung by the choir of Westminster. Then at the East side, and afterwards at the South, West and North sides the Archbishop presented Her to the people saying: "Sirs, I here present unto you Queen Elizabeth, your undoubted Queen: Wherefore all you who are come this day to do your homage and service, Are you willing to do the same?" Then the people with loud acclamations expressed their willingness and joy, crying with one voice: "God save Queen Elizabeth" We can find a similarity in the Biblical record of the life of King Saul:

"And Samuel said to the people, See ye him whom the Lord bath chosen, that there is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said, God save the King" (1 Sam. 10:24).

Then the Dean of Westminster took the Holy Bible from off the Altar and delivered it to the Archbishop who then presented it to the Queen, first saying to her:

"Our gracious Queen, we present you with this Book, the most valuable thing that this word affords. Here is wisdom; this is the royal Law; these are the lively Oracles of God."

This part of the Coronation Ceremony, together with the presentation of the Bible, were instituted nearly four centuries ago. Do we believe these words today? Actually everything that makes our Western Civilisation depends upon the Bible. Right and wrong reason - our moral code - all rest on its authority. Scientists of fifty years ago thought they had better authority than the Bible, which belief is reflected in conventional knowledge today, but the wild conjecture and speculation of the sceptic is now met by new evidence made available through the study of Archaeology. How greatly indebted we are to this Science for the light cast on ancient Bible history, and how inadequate are our expressions of gratitude to the distinguished men who have toiled under the soil of Palestine, and other Eastern lands, in search of this evidence, or otherwise assisted in the obtaining of it. In this great company we find James Leslie Starkey, Sir Henry Wellcome, Harry Dunscombe Colt, Sir Robert Mond, Sir Charles Marston, Dr. Landgon, Sir Flinders and Lady Petrie, Professor Garstang and Mrs. Garstang, Sir Leonard Woolley, Dr. Albright, and many others whose findings have proved to be a vital force in the world today, and something to sorely try the steel of Modernist, agnostic, and atheist. The Bible tells of the beginning of things: the creation of man: of sin: government: a special people: redemption. Then it deals with the history of the special people, the formation of a Kingdom Nation with righteous laws and government and their schooling in the wilderness. The story sweeps on to the promised Land, the history under Judges, then Kings, the division of Israel into two Houses, Israel and Judah, their sins and punishments, the transfer of the

9

rule of the House of David from over Judah to be over Israel. Then the Judah history to the coming of the Messiah, His rejection by them and the punishment that follows. Israel lost; Israel found: and the marks of identity. How wonderful to find the same story in the heavens. The pictorial star groups tell of man's fall, the promised redemption of Israel and the salvation of the world, of Israel's increase, the dangers to beset her, the coming of the King to the rescue, the cleansing of the earth, and the banishment of evil with the final destruction of Satan. The wise men of the East saw the birth of our Lord in these signs. No one can dispute the antiquity of the Signs of the Zodiac or the Constellations, nor can we question the accuracy of the ancient Star-names which have come down to us. Modern astronomers have preserved and still have in common use the ancient names of over a hundred of the principal stars which have been handed down, but now these names are used merely as a convenience and without any reference to their significance. Dr. Budge, of the British Museum, in his Babylonian Life and History, tells us of the extensive knowledge possessed by the ancients. Astronomy, mixed with astrology, occupied a large number of tablets in Babylonian libraries, the largest, containing seventy, being compiled by the command of Sargon of Agade thirty-eight hundred years before Christ. It was called the "Illumination of Bel." The Scriptures are not silent as to the great antiquity of the signs or constellations, and references may be found in Psalms, Acts, Kings, Job, Isaiah, Amos and other places. History discloses that the twelve Signs are the same in both their meaning and order in all the ancient nations of the world. The Chinese, Chaldean, and Egyptian records go back to more than 2000 B.C.; Nouet, a French astronomer, inferring that the Egyptian astrology must have arisen 5,400 B.C. Ethelbert W. Bullinger, D.D., in his notable work The Witness of the Stars, shows how from the twelve Signs of the Zodiac, each containing three Constellations, and together numbering over 2,490 stars, are formed the ancient Star-pictures. These number 48, and are divided into three books each containing four chapters. The remarkable and fascinating story commences with the Sign of Virgo (the promised seed of the Woman) that first great promise and prophecy of Gen. 3-15, and concludes with Sign of Leo (Messiah's Consummated Triumph). In Leo we reach the end of the Revelation as inspired in the Word of God; and it is the end as written in the heavens. There we find The Lion of the Tribe of Judah aroused for the rending of the prey, the three constellations of the Sign being: Hydra, the old serpent destroyed; Crater, the cup of Divine Wrath poured out upon him, and Corvus, the Bird of Prey devouring him. The foregoing remarks of necessity brief, but the earnest seeker after truth will find that science has much to offer in irrefutably established facts. And now we see the majesty of God in the third witness. Throughout its construction is mathematical accuracy and precision as well as astronomical exactness, and suffice it to say that the inspired builders of the Great Pyramid have enshrined in the passage system and general construction the important events covering a period of 6,000 years from the creation of Adam. We find the warning to Noah and the Flood year: the call of Abraham.. the exodus

10

of Israel from Egypt: their formation into a Kingdom-Nation at Mount Sinai: the birth, life, death and resurrection of the Lord and His rejection by the Jews, who remained under the yoke of the law: the Christian dispensation, when Israel became Cod's Servant: its beginning and ending and many other important events testifying to the Truth of Revelation. The spiritual degradation of man, leading to destruction as well as the way of Salvation, for both the individual and the nation are clearly defined. In truth, the Great Pyramid is God's answer to Modernism, for by its scientific evidence the Bible is proved to be true. Its purpose was to conceal and reveal. "It is the glory of God to conceal a thing" (Proverbs 25, 2). He reveals to give hope to a troubled world, and conceals to leave room for the exercise of faith.

EARLY HISTORY AND STRUCTURAL FEATURES ONE often meets with the suggestion that the Pyramids were built as tombs, and it may be advantageous here to state the reasons why the great Pyramid was never used as such. The passages and chambers of the Great Pyramid are above the ground level, but all the other Pyramids have their chambers below the ground level. No record exists of the finding of a mummy in the Great Pyramid. There is an absence of inscriptions with the exception of quarry marks and the hieroglyphics on the lower Eastern apex stone of the inner door or passage framework, and the royal marks or cartouches on one of the massive beams of the King's Chamber. No furniture, sculpture, or treasure were ever discovered. No lid to the coffer in the King's Chamber or trace of any fragment. The prophetic nature of the revelations therein and the scientific knowledge displayed indicate that it was not built for a tomb. NO other Pyramid has ventilating shafts, and it is, of course, established that air is injurious to the preservation of a mummy. It is interesting to note that the air shafts in the Great Pyramid enable the temperature to be maintained at a uniform 68 deg.F., which is the mean temperature of the Earth. Historical records give The Great Pyramid various names. The term Gizeh refers to the place of location and Cheops to the King during whose reign it was erected. Cheops is also known as Shufu or Khufu, and his brother who may have followed him or perhaps ruled with him is known as Nem Shufu. The royal marks of these Kings are found in the Great Pyramid as previously stated, and also at Mount Sinai. In the Sinaitic hills they are engraved on a rock which overlooks the ruins of vast iron furnaces from which, no doubt, the iron used in the construction of the Pyramid was obtained. Now Khufu ruled in Egypt between 2645 and 2622 B.C., so that we may safely place the time of erection of the Pyramid thereby. His name is connected with the Pyramid, and there is no doubt that it was built during his reign, but there is no evidence to support the suggestion that he was the builder. No ancient writing of any value ascribes its erection to him. It is interesting to observe that the facts built into the masonry of the Pyramid have their complete reproduction in what is termed the "Book of the Dead". This is a collection of ancient writings and to quote the late Sir Gaston Maspero, Director-General of Antiquities in Egypt, "The Pyramid and the 'Book of the Dead' reproduce the same original, the one in words and the other in stone."

11

The significance of Sir Gastons' statement lies in the fact that the ancient texts give all the principal dimensions, exterior and interior of the Pyramid, define the unit of measure and state specifically that the year circle of 365.24 inches is the basis for the Pyramid's geometrical system. The antiquity of these writings goes back to at least 3000 B.C., and their profound value lies in the fact that because of their records the Divine Revelation enshrined in the Great Pyramid forty-five centuries old and standing in a pagan land, receives from the ancient pagan literature of that land a religious and scientific interpretation of such character that both the Pyramid and the Bible are demonstrated to be of God.

WHO BUILT THE GREAT PYRAMID? Now ancient writings indicate that during the reign of Khufu, Egypt was invaded by a great movement of foreign people from the East. The country was won over by them without a battle and their leader ordered Khufu to close all temples, and idolatrous worship was discontinued. This invader King who took up his residence at Gizeh was supplied by Khufu with 100,000 labourers, who cut and hauled stone for the erection of the Pyramid. This took thirty years, after which the stranger, we are informed, left Egypt and built Salem, later named Jerusalem. These strangers were Sethites, that is, descendants of Adam's son, Seth, and their rulers were the Shepherd Kings, men of great faith and spiritual power, who without doubt believed in the one true God. Biblical and Egyptian records present for us the names of Seth, Enoch, Noah ,and Shem, when we consider these Shepherd Patriarchs and the name of Enoch stands out prominently as the mysterious stranger. In the Egyptian "Book of the Dead" the Pyramid is termed the "Pillar of Enoch". In Genesis we read "and Enoch walked with God and he was not, for God took him". There seems sufficient data to establish Enoch as the builder to whom God entrusted the mighty undertaking. Chronological indications, apart from the dates of Khufu's reign, when considered from the entrance doorway of the Pyramid, show 2625 B.C. as the date of erection. This conforms with Egyptian records. Herodotus is the first historian whose account of it has come down to us, and he procured certain information from an Egyptian priest named Manetho, about 450 B.C., that is, more than twenty-one centuries after its erection. The most distinguished architects marvel at the skill employed in the construction of this huge monument. The immense blocks of granite carried a distance of 500 miles, polished like glass and so fitted that the joints are barely perceptible: the construction of the chambers over the King's apartment: the ventilating shafts. In spite of the colossal weight of the structure, approximately 6,000,000 tons, no settlement in any part can be detected, to even a fraction of an inch. Only solid rock in the best of condition would be suitable to hold such a building, and in the elevated plateau of Gizeh such a site was selected. A dome-like portion of this plateau was then chosen by the builders, and it was cut down on four sides into ledges, like a miniature pyramid with steps all round. This plug, or core, is no doubt the secret of the lasting stability of the Great Pyramid. Nothing else could have saved the structure from the many earthquakes over a period of so many centuries, especially the one of A.D. 1300 which ruined the city of Cairo. Around this core were then cemented the 201 courses of perfectly cut stones forming the granite bulk of the huge pillar, which was eventually covered by the limestone casing. Although the casing

12

has been absent for over 1000 years, the huge granite blocks were so well placed and cemented that not a crack appears anywhere. Today, this stone mountain, stripped of its casing stones, rears itself up into the sky in a series of mighty steps. Some of the stones are four feet high, the larger ones being at the lower part of the Pyramid. One can imagine that an ascent would be difficult and such is undoubtedly the case. These stones are of enormous weight, some being as much as 20, some even 80 tons. In the King's Chamber the builders employed a unique principle of construction, in which 43 massive granite beams, 27 feet long and weighing 50 to 70 tons each, were used. They were set joist-wise in five cushioned tiers, and allowed to extend five feet beyond the walls. Then, above these were placed 24 large rafters of limestone to form the gabled roof. The tremendous overhead pressure and earthquake shocks of 45 centuries have broken in two all the great beams, but the King's Chamber itself remains just as perfect as the day it was finished. On every hand one sees the mark of The Great Architect. Famous engineers regard the Great Pyramid as a masonic masterpiece and the more one examines it the stronger becomes the conviction that it is no ordinary building. The four sides have a combined area of roughly 20 acres, and to cover this were required at least 144,000 massive limestone blocks. Some of these weighed 20 tons, and none were less than 1 ton. On clearing debris from the four base lines of the Pyramid quite a large number of these casing stones were found, still in their original positions. This was very fortunate, as valuable information was obtained as a result of examination of them. It was discovered that the mean thickness of the joints is one-fiftieth of an inch, and with an area of some 35 square feet, each was cemented throughout. Although the stones were as close as one five-hundredth part of an inch, or, in fact, in contact with a mean opening of the joint of one-fiftieth part of an inch, the builders managed to fill the joint with cement. Merely to place such stones into contact would be careful work, but to do so with cement in the joints seems impossible. One wonders how a vertical joint about 5ft. by 7ft. in area with the surfaces practically in contact could possibly be filled with cement. So fine and practically invisible are the joints that unless marked in black the camera will not show them. The casing stones were not merely triangular in shape, but so cut, with six sides instead of five, that each extended back fully two feet under the one above. Thus The Pyramid was effectively sealed against sand or rain. Gigantic operations require special mechanical inventions. The builders of the Pyramid no doubt were the inventors and possessors of tools and machinery for lifting purposes, and whilst we still have the structure they so marvellously erected the machinery used is lost. How the great rocks were ever dressed and placed so accurately is a mystery, and the secret lies buried with the builders. It is interesting to note that modern engineering cannot even suggest how such a feat could be accomplished. Although this is the age of cement and steel, a problem arises in connection with the cement used in the Pyramid. It could be reduced to the consistency of paint and yet made to hold for fifty centuries. Today it is observed that the cement is more enduring than the rock, the latter breaking more easily. The cement can be analysed but not produced. Another problem is that in reference to the drills and saws used by the builders. The coffer in the King's Chamber is one of the most wonderful objects in the world. It is a stone miracle,

13

due to the spiral markings of the drills used to hollow out the interior. To cut out granite as a carpenter bores out wood requires not only an exceptionally hard drill, but a machine allowing an overhead pressure of from one to two tons. From this one may consider the saws used in the cutting of the stones: bronze saws with teeth of particular hardness, and set with sapphires and, probably in some instances, diamonds. One may move from marvel to marvel, from one stupendous thought to another. Imagine 86,000,000 cubic feet of masonry which, if converted into a wall 4 feet high and 1 foot thick, would extend for about 3600 miles, and if weighed in scales would tip between five and six million tons. The Great Pyramid has stood for almost fifty centuries, unaffected by The Flood and earthquakes: it has seen wars: dynasties come and go: civilisations pass away, and it stands with its message intact, for all who would read.

LATER HISTORY: OUR LINK WITH THE PAST

PRESENT-DAY SCIENTISTS MAKE STARTLING DISCOVERIES HE entrance to the Pyramid was not known until 820 A.D. TAI Mamoun, a Caliph of Baghdad, would not otherwise have gone to the trouble and cost of boring a hole 130 feet long and 6 feet in height by which all visitors enter today. Had the true entrance been visible he would have used it. His objective was to secure the treasure which was traditionally supposed to be hidden therein, but all his efforts were abortive. The forced passage is 30 feet above the pavement and in the vertical centre of the North face. The history of the modern Pyramid theory dates back to about 1637. At this time an Oxford astronomer named Greaves discussed with Dr. Harvey, the learned discoverer of the circulation of the blood, certain matters concerning the interior of the Pyramid. The doctor was of the opinion that air channels must exist to enable people to remain in the interior unstifled. Two hundred years later Colonel Howard-Vyse found two such channels and after a further thirty odd years the other two were opened up by Waynman Dixon and Dr. Grant. In the seventeenth century suggestions in connection with the King's Chamber and the Coffer were advanced by Sir Isaac Newton, but no actual progress was made until the latter half of the eighteenth century, when several works were published in England showing that the Pyramid's base measurements were intended to represent the number of days in the year, expressed in units of linear measurement. In 1859 a London literary man and mathematician named John Taylor published a book showing that the proportion of the Pyramid's height to its base circuit demonstrated the ratio of the radius of a circle to its circumference. He also indicated that the Pyramid was built to convey a Divine Revelation and that its unit of measure was the inch. This induced the Astronomer Royal for Scotland, Professor Piazzi-Smyth, to undertake a survey of the Pyramid. He camped on the Gizeh Plateau for several months in 1864-1865, and carefully measured the whole building, its passages, chambers, slopes and angles, confirming Taylor's theories absolutely. He demonstrated that the Pyramid was a chronograph in stone connecting the present with past ages, and that the point of origin of the time scale was fixed by the builders with strict scientific precision, so that as an astronomer

14

he was able to define the exact point of time from which the whole of Pyramid chronology starts. Before dealing with this interesting discovery, let us turn our attention to THE INCH It is perhaps a strange fact that the British inch has been preserved down through the ages and is used solely by the English-speaking peoples. Without it we should never have been able to read the Pyramid's message. The quarter also, the corn measure of the English speaking race, is found to be exactly one-quarter of the cubic capacity of the coffer inside the King's Chamber. The unit of measure employed in the Pyramid's design has been placed by the Great Architect on the large granite beam or leaf suspended like a portcullis between the East and West walls of the Anti-Chamber. On the North face of the leaf is a stone projection termed the Boss; it is shaped like a horse-shoe and is 1 inch thick by 5 inches square. The centre of the Boss is 25 inches from the East wall of the Chamber. This 25 inches is the multiple of the inch unit composing the sacred Hebrew Cubit. The sacred cubit is of Divine origin, being the measure ordained by God to be used by Noah in the construction of the Ark: by Moses for the making of the Tabernacle in the wilderness, and by Solomon in the building of the Temple (see Gen., 6, 15: Ex., 25:1 Kings 6 and 7). A further key to the sacred cubit is also found in the Queen's Chamber. The whole of the Pyramid geometry is based upon the "Year Circle", that is, a circle whose circumference represents the number of days in the year expressed in inches. Stonehenge is designed on the same principle. The Pyramid inch is the exact 11500 millionth part of the earth's polar diameter. The metre was intended by the revolutionaries who introduced it to be a ten-millionth part of a quadrant of the Earth's circumference. It has now been shown to be considerably out and to bear no proper ratio to the dimensions of the earth, and the American Geodetic survey of 1906 proved that the inch was an exact proportion - 1 in 500 million - of the polar diameter of the Earth. The Pyramid defines the dimensions of the earth and the elements of its orbit round the sun to the scale of 1 in 25 millions. It gives the mean sun distance, the number of days in the solar year, the law of the Precession of the Equinoxes, and all the principal values and variations in connection with the year and the Earth's orbit, as well as a true geometrical definition of the Law of Gravitation. The square circuit of the Pyramid's base square gives the solar year, 365.242 days to the scale of 100 Pyramid inches to a day. Practically 200 attempts have been made to change the British-American system of measures, and all have failed. All astronomical distances, movements and variations in distance and movement are simply expressed in terms of two standard values, namely, the length of the Earth's polar diameter and the duration of the solar year. The Earth's polar diameter should be our basal standard of surface measurement on the Earth, and this was pointed out by Sir John Herschel in 1869 when he opposed the proposal of Parliament to adopt the French Metric System. It is interesting to note that the metric or atheist inch is about 100,000 inches in error on a 7,900 mile arc of the Earth's circle. Almost 5,000 years before Herschel, the Polar diameter was adopted in the Great Pyramid's science as the basal standard for the surface measurements of the Earth. Herschel showed

15

that by subdividing the Earth's polar diameter into 500 million parts we obtained an inch value almost the same as our current British inch. Through careful comparison with the Pyramid unit, after 5000 years, shows the English standard to be shorter by 1 / 1000th of an inch, the Government records disclose that up to within a few centuries ago both units were precisely the same. The British inch is approximately shorter than the Pyramid inch by two-thirds of a hair's breadth. It would appear that the building supervisors of the Pyramid were of the white race and that the Divine Message contained within its huge structure is addressed to the possessors of the inch today. In reviewing our British measures and weights, many interesting facts are disclosed. As previously stated the capacity of the coffer is four times the British quarter. The equivalent capacity of the whole coffer is found in the ancient chaldron of Edgar the Peaceable (959 A.D.). A quarter of corn is defined by Magna Carta. British wheat is measured in quarters. The capacity of the coffer is 71,214 cubic inches. Four British quarters contain 70,984 cubic inches, the comparative figures balancing to one quarter of one per cent. BRITISH MEASURES INDICATED BY COFFER A fact of absorbing interest to the Anglo-Saxon people is that the pint, pound, quarter and stone measures and weights they use are found to be recorded in the cofrer which contain four British quarters, or 32 bushels of wheat. Magna Carta stipulated that wheat shall be sold by the bushel. The early Saxons had a measure of 32 bushels they called a chaldron. The Anglo-Saxons alone retain Israel's system of weights and measures, as ordained in Lev. 19: 35, 37, inclusive of "a just ephah" and "a just bin". A "bin" equals 11, British gallons, and 10 "ephahs" equal 1 quarter, or the fourth part of a ton, or 8 bushels. God commanded ". . . . a perfect and a just weight a perfect and just measure thou shalt have" (Dent. 25, 15). In villages in Palestine can be seen food weighed against a literal stone, having no official recognition. They are not a standard measure. "Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small." (Dent. 25, 13). The difficulty of maintaining national standards of measure and weight, which shall, through all times and under all conditions, be accurate, is not generally realised. In 1823 Dr. Kelly, in his examination before the House of Lords, stated that there had been two hundred Acts of Parliament enacted to that date in favour of, and to promote uniformity of weights and measures, and all had failed to effect any quite satisfactory result. But in the next year, 1824, a standard yard and standard pound weight were at last made and deposited in the then British House of Commons. This, however, only lasted ten years, for in 1834 the House of Commons was burned to the ground. The nation then attempted to get on without any standards, but finally a new office was erected and placed under a chief called the Warden of Standards. And now every twenty years a curious scene may be witnessed under a black staircase in the present House of Commons. A workman, in the presence of several Government officials, breaks away a portion of the wall there, and discloses in a cavity a metal chest soldered air and water-tight, which conceals a mahogany box with screwed-down lid. Within are the Imperial standard yard measure and pound weight. The replica of them in the Standards office are then brought and compared with and adjusted to the carefully preserved national standards in the mahogany box. A variation in the yard measure of one-twelve-thousandth part can be ascertained and with the pound weight a balancing process can indicate a discrepancy of one-fourteenth-millionth. The work of adjustment over, the standards are

16

again carefully deposited in the cavity beneath the stairway, there to remain for a further twenty years. And in the centre of the Great Pyramid, where no fire can ever touch it, is the Hebrew standard of measure, imperishably preserved for all time. And this Hebrew standard, strange as it may seem, belongs to us as well as them.

THE CHRONOGRAPH IN STONE How did Professor Piazzi-Smyth demonstrate that the Pyramid ti was a chronograph in stone? What did he discover so that, as an astronomer, he was able to define the exact point of time from which the whole of Pyramid chronology starts? It must be clearly understood that the Pyramid system of chronology is fixed absolutely by the stars, and its dates are quite independent of any events whatever. The Pyramid's chronology is not a plausible probability because it seems to fit history. but it is an exact and scientific statement of dates of events, built in stone long before any of them began to happen. About a century ago, it was proved by Sir John Herschel that the Pyramid's entrance passage pointed to the star Alpha Draconis, then the Pole star, about the year 2160 B.C. With this fact in mind and also the idea of Mr. John Taylor that every inch represented a year of time along the passageways, Professor Piazzi-Smyth, assuming that the Pyramid was built about 2170 B.C., began measuring in the passageways in the hope of finding some kind of evidence. And so it was that, by the dim light of a torch, were found the famous "Scored Lines... The Professor remarks on the beautiful accuracy with which these lines, four feet long, are engraved. He said he had been, during the greater part of his life, an astronomical transit observer, and standing in the descending passage between these lines he could not help feeling that he was in the familiar surroundings of an observatory. From the calculations of modem astronomy we know that the Scored Lines represent a dating in the time-scale of the Chronograph as of Midnight, September 22nd, 2144 B.C. As the Pole star, Alpha Draconis, shone down the entrance passage it has been established by astronomical calculation that the scored lines running at right angles to the passage when extended into the heavens pointed to the bright star Alcyone of the group named the Pleiades, a group consisting of seven stars. The Master Builder intended this strange circumstance to indicate to the searcher after truth the coming Messiah, to counteract the works of the evil one. It is interesting to note that these star positions had occurred previously in 27,970B.C., and will not occur again until A.D. 23,682. The evil one says, "I will ascend into Heaven. I will exalt my Throne above the stars of God: I will also sit upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the North: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds: I will be like the Most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell to the sides of the pit." (Is., 14. 13). On the symbolic way of life Man is descending under the evil influence of the Dragon star, and at the same time Alcyone was in alignment with the Scored Line. The word Alcyone means "a turning round a centre". Alcyone, so astronomers tell us, is the centre of solar

17

gravitation around which our sun and all the other suns revolve. Thus the Dragon star, known to the ancients as Theban, or the Devil star, is in conflict with Alcyone. God, speaking to Job, said: "Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades?" (Job, 38, 31). The Scored Lines thus indicate the conflict between good and evil. It is possible, by taking some other angle or direction, to avoid the rays of evil influences. The call of Abraham was witnessed by Aleyone, being directly over the Scored line, and in the year of the Great Deluge Aquarius, "The Water Bearer", was in the same position. Many centuries later, in 1936, the date marking the entrance to the King's Chamber, Aries, "The Ram", indicating "Christ in Power", was also in that significant position. The points from which measurements are to be made and calculated are two, namely, the Scored Lines, giving the date September 22nd, 2144 B.C., and the Geometrical Zero, found by projecting the Ascending passage floor line to meet the extended side of the true Pyramid. This point has the dating of 4000 B.C. Measurements and calculations must be made from either of these established points and the Pyramid inches thus ascertained translated into their respective time values. The application of these' rules shows the following historical fulfilment of Great Pyramid Prophecy:- 4000 B.C.: the Zero date, and the year of the beginning of Adamic history; 2625 B.C.: the dating of the point of entrance into the Descending passage corresponding with the period of the reign of Cheops in Egypt, and the building of the Pyramid, as established by archaeological research; 2344 B.C.: the dating of the large dark overhead rock, 200 inches distant from the Scored Lines, in the opening passage, indicating the period of the Deluge; 2144 B.C. midnight, September 22nd, the "Scored Lines" dating, accurately determined by modern astronomy; 1486 B.C.: the date of the Exodus, as given by the Bible, and marked by the intersection of the two passages. A DISTINGUISHED ENGINEER - HIS SCIENTIFIC STUDY AND CONTRIBUTION

Before entering upon a description of the various passages and chambers and the periods connected with them, the introduction of the world's most eminent authority on the Great Pyramid and one or two facts of scientific importance seems appropriate. Mr. David Davidson, M.C., M.I. Struct. E., of Leeds, England, not only a distinguished engineer and mathematician, but an astronomer and Egyptologist, is the greatest authority on the Pyramid and it is due to his scientific study and research that the world is in possession of the glorious facts enshrined by God in this Stone Witness. Many names have been mentioned from the time of John Greaves, Professor of Astronomy at Oxford University in 1637: the names of Colonel Howard Vyse, John Taylor, Robert Menzies, Professor Piazzi-Smyth, Sir Flinders Petrie, and now David Davidson. He took up the study of the Pyramid to disprove certain theories connected with it. This was early in this century, and his studies took him into many fields such as Egyptology, astronomy, archaeology, history, economics, in addition to an extensive study of the Bible and prophecy. He criticised the Hebrew Scriptures agnostically, but a wonderful thing happened, for he was compelled to abandon his agnosticism in face of the evidence before him, and in 1909 he published the fact that Flinders Petrie had confirmed the conclusions of Piazzi-Smyth, that both were correct in their supposed differences, a fact which had held up scientific interest in the Pyramid for many years.

18

Thus his investigations convinced him of the Divine revelation enshrined in the Great Pyramid and the truth of the Bible also. The preface to his major work, The Great Pyramid: Its Divine Message, published in 1925, reads:

"My elucidation of the various phases of the Great Pyramid's design has led me to perceive that it is an expression of the Truth in structural form. "I proclaim in humility and yet with confidence that the Great Pyramid's Message establishes the Bible as the inspired Word of God, and testifies that Jesus Christ, by His displacement, paid the purchase price of mankind's redemption, and effected the salvation of all who truly believe in Him",

In 1921 he published certain prophetic datings, naming exact days when big events would take place. His new line of enquiry had provided him with astronomical keys which unlocked the Pyramid's chronological prophecies, and definitely established the epochs depicted in terms of historic time. His discoveries placed the findings of the purposes for which the Great Pyramid was built for the first time upon an exact scientific basis. The histories of Egypt and Babylon are therein synchronised with the history of Israel. The true Law of relativity is found in this marvellous building, binding together the measures of the earth, astronomical times and seasons, the facts of physical science as well as dated history and theology. The base design of the Pyramid defines the length of the solar, sidereal, and anomalistic years. These are the three times used in modem astronomy. The length of the earth's polar diameter is defined. The mean height of land and sea over the surface of the earth, and the mean ocean level are indicated. The shape of the earth is defined. These and many other scientific facts were discovered as a result of the application of the simple fundamental factors upon which the design of the Pyramid is founded. One of Mr. Davidson's most important discoveries was the finding of the "Displacement Factor". This is a function of the geometry of the year circle and its value is 286.1 Pyramid inches. This value is constantly repeated throughout the building, but there are three particular points of construction where its use is especially marked, namely:-

1 . The base of the Pyramid was built on a square 286 Pyramid inches less than the designed circuit. This was due to a mistake made by the builders in laying the casing stones and as a result the cap-stone could not be placed in position without altering the designed height of the building and consequently it was rejected. 2. The centre of the passage system which runs from North to South, was deflected 286 inches East of the North and South line running through the centre of the building. 3. The height of the roof of the Grand Gallery is 286 inches above the roof of the ascending passage.

The meaning of these displacements will be explained later. The distance between the earth and the sun is indicated in the Pyramid. The Greeks in 500 B.C. judged the distance to be about 10 miles. Later they considered it be more like 2,000

19

miles. Through the centuries it has been the subject of attention by scientists, and today modern astronomy gives the figure of 92,900,000 miles as the sun's mean distance form the earth. The Great Architect, 5000 years ago, built into the Pyramid's base plans 92,996,085 miles as the answer to this question. The mathematics involved in demonstrating this fact occupy about six pages in Mr. Davidson's volume, "The Great Pyramid", and as a consequence cannot be outlined here. The scientific elements have been but briefly referred to. They cover a very wide field and the earnest investigator can be amply repaid by studying the many works available. Mr. David Davidson writes:- "The Great Pyramid's chronological system comprises a period of 6,000 years. The dates of the beginning and ending of this period are precisely defined in an accurate scientific manner, as, indeed, is the date of every year of the period defined. This definition is now known to be effected by the correlation of nearly a dozen independent series of astronomical demonstrations and by as many remarkable cheek demonstrations of a purely mathematical nature. Every value of the correlation is a simple mathematical function of the solar year of 365.242 days. "Think what a Revolution this gives us of the Master Mind behind this marvellous multiple identity. and then realise that the precise correlation thus mathematically given for every moment of a period of 6,000 years can occur once only in several million years; and that this period is the period of 6,000 years that began at the Autumnal Equinox of the year that historians define as 4000 B.C., or astronomers as 3999. The period defined cannot therefore apply to any earlier or later period of 6,000 years in the world's history. "What greater proof than that I have outlined could be given of the Divine Inspiration in the scientific design of this remarkable structure? By no amount of collaboration, however intensive or prolonged, of the efforts of human ingenuity, could mere man have achieved the requisite correlation of cognate knowledge, or have been able to enshrine in a guiding, upon such a simple plan, the miraculous combination of correlated astronomical and mathematical demonstrations that is enshrined in the Great Pyramid. Do you not agree as to the remarkable testimony that is presented by a correlation of this nature? And do you not agree that it is the duty of the modern scientific world to receive that Testimony, not only for its own consideration and guidance, but for the guidance of all humanity? Grasp the significance of the facts I have stated. The Pyramid defines the precise astronomical circumstances of long periodicity that accompanied every moment of world history from 4000 B.C., and now accompany every moment of our current times: and will accompany every moment of world history until the Autumnal Equinox of A.D. 2001. The remaining years are defined as the most momentous years of the world's history during the specified period of 6,000 years: and are revealed as the period in which the Saviour of the World will be manifested to mankind as Universal King." THE SYMBOLISM OF THE PASSAGES AND CHAMBERS The Descending passage shows the Fall of man: spiritual Degradation leading to destruction. One-third of this passage is in the Pyramid proper, the remainder being cut in the solid rock. The passage is both slippery and dangerous, there being no steps, added to which is a slope at

20

an angle of 26 deg. 18 min. 10 see. At the entrance the passage is 47 inches high, but drops to 36 inches at the terminus, illustrating the difficulty of retracing one's steps late in life. It is more dangerous to travel this path than any other, and indicates the decline of man, but for the Grace of God. Where the Descending passage intersects the base-line of the Pyramid the inches record 1000 B.C., the date of the dedication of Solomon's Temple. At the point where it changes to the horizontal the scale denotes 1518 A.D., synchronising with the Reformation on the Continent, the turn illustrates a break in the descent, from the Middle Ages. The passage angle plays a tremendous part in Pyramid symbolism. As previously explained, if a map of the delta of the Nile is taken, and one arm of this angle of 26 deg. 18 min. 10 sec. is placed parallel to the southern edge of the Pyramid, then the other arm of the angle runs from the Pyramid directly through Bethlehem, the birth-place of Christ. Thus, even though it seemed as if all humanity were on their way down into the Pit, descending under the evil influence of the Dragon star, built into the very angle of the passage was a prophecy that at some time or other a Saviour would come and deliver man, and lead him back to God. In the account of the fall of man, the promise came to Eve that of her seed would come One Who would bruise the Serpent's head (Gen. 3: 15). Thus the very passage which represented the fall of all humanity into death, under the influence of the Dragon, also pointed to the coming of a Deliverer, who would be born in a city called Bethlehem. The Scriptures also foretold that in Bethlehem would come Israel's Redeemer. The prophet Micah, 710 years before Christ was born stated: "But thou, Bethlehem, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall come forth unto Me, He that is to be Ruler in Israel." The Descending passage measures 345 feet down to the point indicating 1518 A.D., then after a further 30 feet terminates in a subterranean Chamber called the Pit. This Chamber is also termed the Chamber of Chaos, so named because the roof is smooth whilst the floor is rough and uneven. It symbolises "upside-downess". The Pit measures 46 feet by 27 feet, and is situated 100 feet below the base of the Pyramid, and varies from 1 to 14 feet in height. It has two openings: one of about 50 feet, leading South to a dead end, and the other a deep, well-like hole in the centre of the rough floor, the depth of which is not known. This chamber suggests negation, chaos, madness, destruction: and the dead end indicates the eventual annihilation of all evil systems. The confusion of the floor is a symbol of Ps. 11: 9, showing evil influences, which, however, are counteracted by the passages and chambers above. THE FIRST ASCENDING PASSAGE In the First Ascending Passage where the junction occurs with the Entrance passage are situated what are known as the Granite Plugs These measure 15 feet and form an impassable barrier. They were evidently built in at the time of the Pyramid's erection, and the granite proved so hard that AI Mamoun's men, when making their forced entry, were obliged to dig their way round them, and after much toiling broke into the Ascending passage above the obstruction. These plugs were intended to block the passage and prevent entrance into the Chambers above. They are so designed and fixed that passing them would be impossible except by a miracle. The junction defines the Exodus: Israel taken out of the Gentile Nations for a higher purpose, symbolised by ascent. The First Ascending Passage is at the same angle as the Descending Passage. its length is 1,482 inches, corresponding with the years Israel were under the Law.

21

The birth of a Nation is indicated: a separation from the world, to be trained for service. "Wherefore the Law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ." (Gal., 3, 24). THE GRAND GALLERY This beautiful chamber of white limestone 156 feet long, 28 feet high, and 7 feet wide, also called the Hall of Truth in Light and New and Living Way, comes after the birth and death of the Christ. The Egyptian Book of the Dead designates the entrance to this Chamber "The Passion of the Messiah" and "Crossing the Pure Waters of Life". Christ's birth, Saturday, October 6th, B.C. 4, is given by the projection of the Queen's Chamber floor-line where it intersects the Ascending passage. This point of intersection is 3,996 inches from the Zero point at 4000 B.C. Steel tape measurements give the actual entrance to the Grand Gallery as 402812 inches from Zero, being the date of our Lord's death, Friday, April 7th, A.D. 30. The four walls of the Grand Gallery converge to a ceiling, 3 feet wide, by means of a series of seven overhanging courses of masonry The Grand Gallery roof is 286 inches higher than the Ascending passage. This measurement indicates the Displacement Factor, previously mentioned with the three points where its use is especially marked. The displaced passage system to the left of the true centre signifies that we are displaced from the Plane of Perfection of God's Creation. In astronomical, chronological and geodetic displacements, the Displacement Factor is accurately 286.1022. In sociological displacements, where units of humanity cannot be measured in decimals, except as averages and percentages, it appears merely as 286.

Mr. David Davidson writes:

"The Great Pyramid's Displacement Factor (286.1022) is the Key to the Revelation of the Great Pyramid, and the mathematical simplicity that characterises its many applications and the correlation of these into a comprehensive allegory of Displacement from the Perfection of Creation, and of the ultimate “restitution of all things", transcends the power of human achievement."

According to Dr. E. W. Bullinger numbers in Scripture are far from meaningless. In the number 296 for example, 13 stands for rebellion, apostasy, defection; 11 stands for disorder, disintegration; 2 stands for division. These factors, 13 x 11 x 2 comprise the number 286 and convey very clearly what sin is, and the resultant displacement from God. Thus the Bible and the Great Pyramid both present the same theme. In the Great Pyramid the Architect’s design was ruined by a slight deviation of 286 inches by the builders, whilst in the Bible a slight act of disobedience by our first parents produced a similar disaster. In both cases a state of separation occurred; from the true central plane in one case, and from Paradise and God in the other. The displaced roof of the Grand Gallery symbolises the New and Living Way of St. Paul and signifies that Jesus Christ "will raise us up by His own Power." The base of the Pyramid being 286 inches less than the designed circuit the capstone or Headstone was found to be too large for the platform, which was to have received it, and thus the Headstone was literally

22

rejected by the builders, 2,600 years before the Messiah was likewise rejected by Judah, (Matt. 21, 42). Here is symbolised the Creator's sacrifice for mankind, the Messiah's 46ciitting off " but not for Himself, and gives the correct date for His birth, displacing December 25th by 286 days to October 6th, which was appointed to be observed as the Feast of Tabernacles when "the Word was made flesh" and Tabernacled among us. The position of the Coffer in the King's Chamber is 286 inches West of the centre line of the passage leading into this chamber. Thus, only in the Chamber of the Risen Lord can the displacement be overcome. The seven "overhangs" in the walls of the Grand Gallery suggest the seven days of the week and Seven Millenniums. As there is a sudden rise upon entering the Grand Gallery from the Ascending passage, so is there a Falling away at the South wall where the passage, height drops from 28 feet to 3ft.7in., the latter being the height of the first Low Passage symbolising a Tribulation period. THE WELL-SHAFT This narrow tunnel runs down at the spot indicated as A.D. 30. It joins the Descending passage near the Pit and is symbolical of the passage taken by the Christ. He was laid in a tomb and went down to Death or Hades, although in the history of Israel He was well above the Pit in A.D. 30 on the Ascending Passage. Yet He goes down to, the Pit or Death, and there comes under the influence of the Dragon. But in the going down He is raised up, for we read in Acts 2, 32, "This same Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we are all witnesses." Viewing the well-shaft as an ascending passage and not a descending one, we find an Open Way from the Pit to the upper chambers. There are no steps of any kind and one could not ascend unaided. The other ascending passage was blocked by the Granite Plug, so that both approaches to the Chamber of the King are impassable without Divine assistance - Christ opened up a way symbolically, from the Pit into the Grand Gallery and upper chambers, so that not only Israel but all humanity might come forth from Death and receive resurrection life. The builders of the Pyramid, being aware that the enormous weight of 6,000,000 tons might strain the foundations upon which it stood, no doubt made inspections by way of this shaft from time to time. The Plug effectually blocked the way to the upper chambers by means of the Ascending passage, so that the Well-shaft provided the only micans of entrance thereto. THE QUEEN'S CHAMBER The entrance to the passage leading to the Queen's Chamber was originally covered by a slab of rock measuring 20 feet. Thus the floor of the first Ascending passage was continuous with the floor of the Grand Gallery. The recess where this slab fitted is still to be seen, but how, when, and by whom the slab was removed is not known, except by God. The Queen's Chamber is also termed the Jews' Chamber, and the Chamber of the Second Birth. The horizontal passage is only 46 inches in height and symbolises the Jews remaining under the "Yoke of the Law". The coming of the Messiah, was, like the passage, veiled, and when He came He was misunderstood. St. Paul, in his second letter to the Corinthians, 3, 15, wrote: "But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their hearts." The passage is of polished granite, leading 102 feet to the Queen's Chamber. This measures 19 feet long, 17

23

feet wide, by 15 feet high, and has the peak of its gabled roof exactly in the central axis of the Pyramid. The Queen's Chamber is done in pure white limestone, and its structure definitely indicates a Jewish symbolism. The last seventh of the passageways drops to a level just 3 x 7, or 21 inches lower than the general level: the latter when projected to the floor line of the Ascending passage giving the exact dating of the Birth of Christ. The Chamber has seven sides and is built on the 25th or sacred Hebrew course of rock. In the East wall there is a niche cutting, which instead of being in the centre is displaced by just 25 inches, or a sacred Hebrew cubit. This was so built by intention on the part of the Great Architect to preserve for us: as previously stated was done on the Granite Leaf: the key to the reading of the message of the Pyramid. The Chamber has seven sides, four walls, floor, and double-angle roof. The seven sides, indicates the Sabbath. "Verily my Sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations." (Ex. 31, 13). The Anglo-Saxon people, together with the Jews, are the only people in the world who officially revere the Sabbath. No sevenths are to be observed in the descending passage of the Gentiles. Two air-shafts occur in the Queen's Chamber, but were sealed for five inches from the chamber walls, the sealing symbolising the unbelief of Judah. ". . . but they refused to hearken and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears that they should not hear." (Zech. 7, 11). Jeremiah also wrote: ". . . Declare this in the House of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding which have eyes and see not, which have ears and hear not." (Jer., 5, 20). For the first 7 feet the air shafts are horizontal, thus preventing a vision upwards. Salt is found in the passage leading to the Queen's Chamber and also in the Chamber itself, but nowhere else in the Pyramid. Analysis has proved it to be common sodium chloride. There is an incrustation on the walls of from 1/8 to ¼ of an inch thick. The salt is yellow in the passage and white in the Queen's Chamber. This is significant in view of the turning of Judah. Jews throughout the world are reasoning together, have seen the light and have been washed White. Judah is "walking to Israel". (Jer. 50, 4, and Ezek. 37 16). The Salt is evidence of the faithfulness of God in keeping His Covenant. In 2 Chron. 13, 5, we read: "Ought ye not to know that the Lord God of Israel gave the Kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even to him and to his sons by a Covenant of Salt...... Neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the Covenant of thy God to be lacking." (Lev. 2, 13). God will keep His part of the Covenant, although Judah have not responded on their part. In the Tower of London with the Crown Jewels are to be seen enormous golden salt sellars, but no dinner plates or other banquet service. The Crown, the Sceptre and the insignia of the Throne of King David of Israel is perpetuated to this day in the British Throne. In the days of the formation of the everlasting race of twelve-tribed Israel, God warned his people that transgression of the laws of the Mosaic Covenant would lead to their dispersion outside of Palestine for 2,520 years, or seven times. About 400 years later, in 1050 B.C., God established the everlasting Throne of David as recorded in 2 Samuel, 7-16, "Thine House and thy Kingdom and thy Throne shall be established for ever." But this throne existed for only 450 years in Jerusalem, where the Davidic Kings ceased to rule about 585 B.C.

24

All Israel broke the Mosaic Covenant and were scattered out of Palestine, except for the remnant of Judah called "Jews", who were finally scattered in 70 A.D. Jeremiah prophesied that the wickedness of Zedekiah, the last Davidic King to reign in Jerusalem, would result in the fall of the throne, which occurred in the ninth year of the reign when the King's sons were slain and the King himself was blinded and led away captive. Zedekiah's daughters, however (into the hands of the elder having no passed the right to the throne according to Mosaic law, (Numbers 27-8) fled to Egypt with the prophet Jeremiah, and we know from Irish history that one of them, Tea Tephi, that is, in Hebrew, the Beautiful or Beloved Wanderer, eventually reached Ireland and was wedded to the Heremon or Arch-King Eochaid. This early history abounds in references to the "Lia Fail", or Stone Wonderful, which was brought to Ireland by the Royal Princess and upon which she was crowned. This appears none other than the Stone of Destiny, the Coronation Stone of Irish, Scottish and British Royal History, which now rests beneath the Coronation Chair in Westminster Abbey.

"The illustrious descent of the Royal House of Britain is something of which every person may justly be proud, not merely because our beloved Sovereign may claim unbroken descent from monarchs of a remote past, but because since the earliest ages of the Christian faith so many of her progenitors have directed their efforts to the nurturing of their subjects in the precepts and practices of that faith in its purity. No other family, Royal or common, can put forward a claim to so long and splendid a service to mankind; it is in this, and in the noble aspirations of our Queen, rather than in mere genealogies which of themselves can possess no virtue, that we may, and indeed should, rejoice." (C.P.Foster ,in The National Message Lond.)

The present Royal House of Britain is a fusion of Scottish, Welsh and continental royal lines. The latter are traceable to Odin and in turn to Judah, as shown by the Rev. W. M. H. Milner, M.A., in his Royal House of Britain. A Herald's College manuscript makes the wife of Odin, Frea, to be daughter of Cadwallader, son of the British King Lucius, himself descended from Anna, of the House of David. Thus through his wife the descendants of Odin are also of the House of David. From various sources it becomes possible to assert that the different descents that have combined in the present Royal House of Britain are traceable to a single royal family, that of Judah, whose badge is still perpetuated in the royal lion: "the Lion of the tribe of Judah".

THE GREAT STEP As the horizontal passage and the Queen's Chamber are identified with the history of Judah, the "New and Living Way" is representative of the Elect People of God. The Grand Gallery illustrates the Gospel Age: the Christian Age; the formation of the greatest Christian nation of all time, Israel growing in Isaiah's isles of the West, spreading from thence to form the Company of Nations that Jacob's seed were to be in the last days. The abrupt step at the upper end of the Grand Gallery shows the date 1844, being a most important and wonderful point of time, in that it represents the ending of the dispensation or punishment period, on Israel, namely, seven times or 2,520 years. It shows the end of punishment and the beginning

25

of blessing, for it was at this period that the British Empire began to develop. We read in Leviticus 26, 28, the pronouncement of the punishment period of seven times on the House of Israel for her sins, a time being a period of 360 years. In prophecy we must compute "time" according to the nature and genius of the language spoken, so it is essential to understand the terms used, i.e., a day, week, month, year and time. "Days" in the prophetical writings have been found by historical events to mean "years", except where the context denotes a variation, "a day for a year" (Numbers 14, 34; Ezekiel 4, 6; also Luke 13, 32, 33, where Our Lord uses the same cypher to denote the term of His earthly ministry). The prophetical term "time" in Scripture means a period of 360 years. "A time times, and half a time" (Revelation 12, 6 and 12, 14) or 3 1/2 times, is equal to 1,260 days, which at 30 days to the month would equal 3 1/2. years, "a time" being one year. But in prophecy, as one day represents a year of 360 days, so "a time" is equal to a period of 360 years. "Seven times", therefore, means a period of 2,520 years. This may be reckoned either in Solar, Lunar, or Prophetic years, containing 365, 354, and 360 days respectively. Reckoning the seven times from the captivity date 721-676 B.C., it runs out in 1800-1845. The British Realm was named the United Kingdom on January 1st, 1800. The measuring rod can be applied to the House of Judah in similar fashion. We have the main starting point at 604 B.C., which date runs out in 1917 A.D., when General Allenby freed Jerusalem from the Turks during the Great War, thus fulfilling our Lord's declaration that Jerusalem should be trodden down by the Gentiles till the Times of the Gentiles were complete.

In his book, Light for the Last Days, published in 1866, Dr. Grattan Guinness definitely pointed to 1917 as likely to see events of great importance for Jerusalem, this being 2520 years after the start of Nebuchadnezzar's reign over the Babylonian Empire and the 1335th year of the Moslem calendar, the power that for over twelve centuries had trodden down the Holy City. Guinness rightly concluded from the words, "Thou art this head of gold" (Dan. 2:38) that Nebuchadnezzar's accession to the throne of Babylon (604 B.C.) marked the commencement of this period, and consequently that it would expire in 1917. B.C. A.D. A.D. 604 622-------------13351unar -------1917 ------------------- 2520 solar years--------------------------------- On the last day of October 1917 a British army, under General Edmund Allenby, attacked Beersheba, and a few days later Gaza, the gateway to the Holy Land, fell. Then, on December 11th, 1917, Allenby fulfilled prophecy when he took Jerusalem. He entered the Holy City on foot, not as a conqueror, but as a deliverer. "As birds flying, so will the Lord of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also He will deliver it; and passing over He will preserve it." (Isa. 31:5). The Turkish guns were about to lay the city in ruins when, "as birds flying" planes of the Royal Air Force No. 14 Bomber Squadron dropped bombs upon them, and they retreated in panic. By a strange coincidence, on the morning that happened, December 8, 1917, the Lesson appointed to be read in the Church of England was Isaiah, chapter 31, containing

26

those very words. An Arab prophecy, over two hundred years old was also fulfilled at this time. "When the Nile flows into Palestine, then shall the prophet from the west drive the Turk from Jerusalem." As more than 150 miles separated the two places fulfilment of such a forecast seemed impossible, yet in 1917 it came true when a pipeline laid across the Sinai peninsular brought water into Palestine from the River Nile for the British Army. Moreover, in Arabic, the equivalent for "the prophet" is AI Nebi; and General Allenby, from the west, who drove the Turks from Jerusalem, was known as Al Nebi by practically the entire native population. The Bible never confuses Israel and Judah, although modern Bible scholars are inclined to do so. Should there by any doubt in the matter it is settled very completely by the Great Pyramid. The House of Judah and the Jews are of Israel in that they are descendants of Jacob. At Jacob's death the "One seed", Christ, the Messiah, was promised with the sovereignty to Judah: but the "Multitude of Nations" and the grandeur of the "birthright" were given to the House of Joseph or Ephraim exclusively. The House of Israel were to obtain these in the "latter days" or the Christian era. The term "Jews" is never in the Bible applied to the Twelve Tribes or to the Ten-tribed House of Israel. The latter were to be divorced from God and lost to human history, yet known to God, re-covenanted in Christ, and to enjoy the Hebrew birthright in the isles of the sea, and to be the inheritors of the Kingdom of God, taken away from the Jews and given to a Nation. There are few peoples concerning whom more mistaken ideas prevail than the Jews. One of the commonest misconceptions is that the modern Jews are the descendants of the whole Twelve Tribes of Israel, and the sole representatives of the people of Israel in the world today. Israel and Judah were, and are separate and distinct entities. Failure to recognise this elementary distinction accounts for much of the confused thought that exists, and much of the Bible cannot be understood until this distinction is recognised. It is not uncommon to hear Abraham described as a Jew. Even Milman in his standard work, The History of the Jews, makes this error, and many well-known writers speak of "The whole Jewish or Twelve tribed nation". Neither Abraham, nor Isaac, nor Jacob was a Jew. They were Hebrews; as were all the ancient Israelites. The term Jew as a national appellation does not appear until some fourteen hundred years after Abraham. The term Jew as a national name does not appear until the last half of the sixth century B.C. Josephus, the Jewish historian, informs us that the Babylonian exiles who returned to Jerusalem under the edict of Cyrus, 536 B.C., adopted, or were known by, that name. In his book, What Price Israel, Alfred M. Lilienthal, himself an American Jew endeavours to dispel the erroneous ideas which exist. He is a graduate of Cornell University and Columbia Law School, and served with the American State Department before and after his tour of army duty in the Middle East, and in 1953 he travelled extensively throughout the Arab countries and the Israeli State. He points out the fact that the Jews have mingled most, when considering the suggestion that they are a remarkable pure race. Until the middle of the fifth century B.C. intermarriage was a normal phenomenon in Israelite life, and the ensuing Judaist proselytizing over the globe brought peoples of all races into the Jewish faith.

27

Numerous well-known anthropologists, Jewish and non-Jewish, are quoted, and a number of pages are devoted to a brief history of Jewish proselytism and the consequent heterogeneous nature of modem Jewry. "The Jewish racial myth" he writes, "flows from the fact that the words Hebrew, Israelite, Jew, Judaism and the Jewish people have been used synonymously to suggest a historical continuity. But this is a misuse; these words refer to different groups of people with varying ways of life in different periods of history." Professors such as, Huxley, Haddon and Carr-Saunders have written: ". . . The Jews can rank neither as a nation nor even as an ethnic unit, but rather as a socio-religious group carrying large Mediterranean, Armenoid, and many other elements, and varying greatly in physical characters ." "The so-called 'Jewish nose' is really Armenoid" - (We Europeans) Professor Sayce confirms the above statement: ". . . The Jewish race is by no means a pure one. It has admitted proselytes from various nations, and at different periods in its career has intermarried with other races . . ." (Races of the Old Testament) Several years ago, the greatest authority in Britain, the Chief Rabbi of the British Empire, Dr. Hertz when asked to define the position of Israel and Judah today said: "The people known at present as Jews are descendants of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, with a certain number of descendants of the tribe of Levi. As far as is known there is not any further admixture of other tribes. The ten tribes have been absorbed amongst the nations of the world. We look forward to the gathering of all the tribes at some future day" Orthodox Jewry admits that it is only a remnant of Israel, and only a very small percentage of world Jewry is Hebrew or Israelitish in origin, so that to suggest that this amazing conglomeration of races and colours represents the chosen people of God, with any moral or other right to the sovereignty or possession of Palestine, is utterly incorrect, and evidently the result of a careless reading of Scripture together with an ignorance of history and ethnology. This subject deserves careful study, for unless we have our facts in the right perspective the Word of God can be quite meaningless. Perhaps the reader will forgive this digression in view of the importance of the salient features I have introduced. Verily, the "traditions of men" are the devastating weapons of the devil. Our Lord said so 1,900 years ago, and it is tragically true today. For one to declare that Jesus was not a Jew brings the immediate response "Of course He was a Jew" But those who make this assertion will acknowledge that He was of the House of David. A little time of study will show, however, that there are no Jews in the House of David. David's House was separated from the tribe of Judah long before the advent of the Jew as we know him today. Jesus Christ was of the line of Abraham, of the tribe of Judah, but of the House of David, and not the House of Judah, nor of the remnant who became Jews. Judah, the son of Jacob, was not a Jew but a Hebrew and Israelite: a Hebrew because he was of the line of Heber, who was one of Abraham's great-grandfathers - five generations before Abraham - and an Israelite because he was a son of Jacob, who was the first Israelite. We discover that out of the tribe of Judah God selected the House of David as the one who would

28

wield the sceptre. It was to David the Lord said: "And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established before thee; and thy throne shall be established forever." Here, then, is the line of the sceptre and in no other branch of the tribe of Judah will it be found. Thus Jesus Christ must be of the House of David to fulfill the requirements of the Messiahship. It was of that house the Bible declares He came. None of the disciples, with the exception of Judas, were Jews. They were Galileans, and therefore, from the tribe of Benjamin. It was the members of this tribe, and not the Jews, who accepted the teachings of Jesus and afterwards became Christians. Judas betrayed Him, and it was the Jews who fought the Christians, persecuting and driving them from Jerusalem, thus causing the early church to be scattered abroad. Speaking of his racial background Paul declared he was of the tribe of Benjamin, but as concerning ecclesiastical law a Pharisee (Phil. 3:5). By citizenship he was a free born Roman (Acts 22:25-28) but, due to his religious affiliation, he declared himself to be a Jew (Acts 21: 39, and 22:3). Thus, it was only because Paul, a Benjamite, accepted the religion of the Jews that he could be designated as a Jew. Paul also stated that he was brought up at the feet of Gamaliel. These comments should not be regarded as in any way derogatory; no reflection is intended against the Jewish people who are represented, often with honour and distinction, in the fields of literature, art, science and medicine. The author can count several of the Jewish faith among his most respected friends. The present position of the Jew in relation to the Holy Land and the Divine Plan and Purpose is so vitally important and so widely misunderstood, that a more detailed exposition is really warranted. Professor Alfred Edersheim, M.A., D.D., Ph.D., the great Jewish scholar, in a work that has become a classic, The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah, wrote: "In what has been said, no notice has been taken of those wanderers of the ten tribes, whose trackless footsteps seem as mysterious as their after-fate . . . still the great mass of the ten tribes was in the days of Christ, as in our own, lost to the Hebrew nation." (Chap. 1, pp. 14, 16). The reader's attention is directed to the following prophecies concerning Israel and the Jews:- Israel were to have a change of name (Isa., 65, 15), the Jews were to be known by a change in physiognomy (Isa., 3, 9). Israel were to be called by a new name (Isa., 62, 2); the Jews have retained their old name unchanged. Israel were to be named after Isaac, i.e., called Saxon (Gen., 21, 12); the Jews' name was to be a curse to them (Isa., 65, 15); Israel were to be blind to their identity (Rom., 11, 25); the Jews still claim to be the chosen people. Israel were to be a multitudinous people (Hos., 1, 10); the Jews were to be bereft of children (Jer. 15, 7). Israel were to become known as the righteous Nation that keepeth the truth (Isa., 26, 2); the Jews were to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse (Jer., 24, 9). Israel were to become a Nation and a Company of Nations (Gen., 35, 11); the Jews were to be scattered in all the "Kingdoms of the earth for their hurt" (Jer., 24, 9). Israel were to make a new home in the Appointed Place, the Isles of the Sea (11 Sam., 7, 10, Isa., 24, 15; 49, 1; Jer., 31, 10, etc.); the Jews have been strangers in all lands. Israel were to be a Nation forever (Jer., 31, 36); the Jewish Nation was broken beyond repair in A.D. 70 (Dan., 9, 24; Jer., 19, 11). Israel were to have a perpetual monarchy (Jer., 33, 17); the Jews have no King on earth. Israel were to come under a new covenant (Jer., 31, 33); the Jews have remained under the old law. Israel were to be called the sons of God, i.e., accept Christianity (Hos., 1, 10); the Jews do not accept Jesus Christ as the

29

Messiah. Israel were taken captive into Assyria in 721 B.C. (11 Kings, 18, 11, etc.); the Jews were taken captive to Babylon in 603 B.C. (11 Kings 24, 1-14, etc., and 25, 20, etc.). Israel were to be immune from defeat in war (Isa., 54, 17, and Lev., 26, 6, 7, 8); the Jews have suffered endless persecution. Israel had nothing to do with the crucifixion, being at the time beyond the Euphrates, beginning their migrations through Europe. The Jews cried, "Crucify him, crucify him." The top of the Great Step gives the date August 2nd, 1909, and from here onwards to the South wall of the King's Chamber each inch must be given the value of a month of thirty days. From the edge of the Great Step, for example, to the beginning of the First Low Passage is a distance of 61 inches, or 61 months of thirty days, which when added to August 2nd, 1909, gives August 5th, 1914, or the day when England entered the World War. THE FIRST LOW PASSAGE The Falling Away of the South wall of the Grand Gallery symbolises a "falling away" from lofty, spiritual ideals, resulting in the "beginning of sorrow" or tribulation, before the Day of the Lord. "For that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first." (2 Thess., 2, 3). The period from the beginning of the First Low Passage to the end of the Second Low Passage, dated September 16th, 1936, is termed the day of Jacob's trouble. It represents 21 years of difficulty and is the exact length of the time as given in the Bible for Jacob's trouble and is the period defined by Joel's prophecy. God, through the prophet Jeremiah, also refers to these troublous times: "Alas, for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble: but he shall be saved out of it." The correctness or otherwise of the suggestion that from 1914 onwards the scale changes to a month for an inch was verified by the date of the Armistice. The length of the First Low Passage is 51.95 inches, the exact number of months Britain was in the war, from 4-5 August, 1914, to 10-11 November, 1918. And again, the length along the floor of the Grand Gallery reckoned from A.D. 0 produced in a straight line through the Great Step to the South wall is 1914 inches, indicating the year 1914 A.D. as the commencement of the First Low Passage. Thus the date, August 5th, 1914, is defined by both the inch year and inch month scales, in order to show the connection between them. On the inch year scale the First Low Passage would give a period of 51 '@ years. Had this been it is quite evident that the world could not have survived such a disaster. The tribulation period is shortened by means of the Ante-Chamber, indicating Truce in Chaos, thus making the combined passages a total of 153 inches. This shows the significance of our Lord's statement: "And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved, but for the Elect’s sake those days shall be shortened." (Matt., 24, 22). Concerning the significance of the Ante-Chamber and two low passages, Mr. Davidson wrote: "At this date, 4-5 August 1914, the Great Tribulation of Chaos began. Man's artificial fabric of civilization collapsed, and mankind was too stunned by the shock to realize the true significance of the catastrophe. Here, then, the Ante-Chamber symbolizes the reason for its insertion. By its insertion the continuity of chaos - dated as extending from August 4-5, 1914 to September 16, 1936 A.D. - is symbolized as being broken; by Divine intervention; between November 10- 11, 1918 and 29 May 1928 A.D. The break or 'truce in chaos' is,

30

therefore, symbolized as a period of realization, the final opportunity for man to learn of his error and the futility of his patchwork 'reconstructions', prior to the final phase of 'compulsion' being resumed." (The Great Pyramid.. Its Divine Message) In his book Number in Scripture, Dr. E. W. Bullinger devotes over two pages to enumerating remarkable features of the number 153, and then summarizes it all by calling it simply The Number of the Sons of God. Mr. Davidson describes it in these words: "The number 153, when indicated in connection with Messianic symbolism, relates to Christ's elect, their trials, and their mission in being prepared for and in preparing for the 'restitution'." It is claimed that Pyramidologists "make the events fit after the event." To a great extent this, surely, is all that is required. The purpose of prophecy is that after the event has come to pass Scripture may be shown fulfilled that God may be glorified for His manifestation of fore-knowledge through which means people may be brought to a state of belief. On this interesting theme we may quote Mr. A. R. Heaver, writing in The National Message of July, 1940:- "A study of prophecy does not endow us with the power to prophesy. It gives us an intelligent anticipation of events, but our role remains that of commenting upon the significance of the fulfilment of prophecy in current events. Suppose someone had said, in 1914, 'We know it is prophesied that the war will last 51 months, therefore we can take it easy and let things take their course.' If we had adopted this attitude the prophecy would not have come true. The prophecy regarding the war and its duration came true and could come true only because in foreseeing the end from the beginning the sum total of all the toil and tears and superhuman sacrifice of countless thousands which made victory possible had been taken into consideration. "If the individual effort had failed, provision would have seen no Armistice at its conclusion, but Annihilation. The fact that an event is foreseen does not mean that all the human effort that goes to achieve it is unnecessary. On the contrary, it implies that the effort is essential to fulfilment, for if the sum total of energy is not expended the result will be different and the event foreseen as being the result will naturally be different in consequence. In time past it is recorded that 'Holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.' If the Spirit of prophecy is unknown today it is because the completed Bible enshrines Divine revelation to mankind and we are privileged to live in the days during which events themselves are revealing the unfolding purposes of Almighty God." The passages are stone charts of Israel's history. The Bible commences with the ancestry of Israel in Genesis and finishes up with Israel in the Book of Revelation. So, too, the Pyramid is a message and witness to Israel through and through. The First Low Passage is only 43 inches high, and 42 inches wide, thus indicating a narrow, restricted period, a striking contrast with the Grand Gallery. THE ANTE CHAMBER

31

November 11th, 1918, defines the end of the War Tribulation period, being the date of the Armistice. The forces of evil were temporarily restrained, due to Divine intervention, and we were permitted a "Truce in Chaos" period. The War was over and a quickening of commerce and trade took place. Prices, rose and stocks boomed until, on the 11th July, 1920, a short period of depression set in as we came under the edge of the Granite Leaf.' Prices fell suddenly, and commerce went awry, the state of depression existing until the 10th November, 1921, when we passed out from the shadow of the Leaf. The Leaf is 1611 inches thick, signifying 1641 months, and during this period there were coal and railway Strikes and the Irish rebellion, as well as domestic strife and trade stagnation generally. Two events of importance occurred as we approached the end, namely, the first Washington Conference, for Disarmament, and the granting of Home Rule to the Free State of South Ireland. It is noteworthy that the floor blocks change from limestone to the more durable granite in the Ante-Chamber period, at the precise date December 12th, 1919. This was the date of the First Conference of the Powers on world "Realities" subsequent to the end of the War. The symbolism, a change from a soft limestone foundation to a solid granite one, is clearly discernible.

THE SECOND LOW PASSAGE THIS passage is longer than the first, but 1 inch lower. It measures, height 42 inches, width 42 inches, and length 101 inches. A period of tribulation is again indicated. Progress on one's knees, long and laboriously. "We must through much tribulation enter the Kingdom of God." (Acts 14, 22). The cramped and restricted conditions of the First Low Passage corresponded with the Great War, but in the second Passage the experience was one of economic trial. With respect to this important period of British history, Mr. David Davidson in his work, "The Domination of Babylon, Literal and Symbolic," published in May, 1939, states: "In 'The Great Pyramid - Its Divine Message,' published in July 1924, I showed from the Great Pyramid's prophecy that the then coming chaos in civilisation should arise from the too rapid expansion of industrial mass production, with the consequent artificial stimulation of trade, industry and commerce and the mushroom growth, on a mechanical basis, of the civilisation of hitherto backward races, without any accompanying expansion of human vision, and without the application of the necessary moral factors of control and restraint. "In my works and articles from July, 1925, to September, 1929, I steadily developed the interpretation of the Great Pyramid's theme of financial and economic collapse, in preparation for the coming world chaos, and showed that this collapse related to the drying up of credit, affecting the flow of trade, industry and commerce, and to the growing tyranny of the money system and the increasing vulnerability of the Gold Standard. "In September, 1928, it was shown in The Morning Post that the economic collapse had already commenced, and the whole financial and economic situation as it stood, and as it would develop, in the light of Biblical and Great Pyramid prophecy, was dealt with in detail in my series of articles in The Morning Post, September, 1929. "The monetary crisis began in the summer of 1928, with the drying up of credit. In January, 1929, the Governor of the Bank of France gave the date of origin as 'the end of May, 1928,' and the financial, economic and trade daily-indices of that time indicate a steady decline from

32

May 30th, 1928, onwards. As early as 1921, in the Covenant People, I had given, from my interpretation of the Great Pyramid's prophecy, that the Crisis then undefined as to its nature would begin on May 29-30, 1928." The date of depression origin as given by the Governor of the Bank of France may be said to correspond exactly with the date of the commencement of the Second Low Passage, namely May 29th, 1928. During the eight years which followed many tremendous events occurred, one of particular importance being the leaving of the Gold Standard by Britain between the 20th and 27th September, 1931.

MAN'S BURDEN OF GOLD Again quoting from The Domination of Babylon, a few interesting facts regarding Gold are observed. In this work of Mr. David Davidson's appears a photograph taken at the Empire Exhibition, held in Johannesburg, which was opened on 15th September, 1936. The photograph is of a column of gold, supporting at its top a sphere representing the World. "The Golden Jubilee of the City of Gold, September 15th, 1936." The above-mentioned date, September 15th, 1936, was recorded in the Great Pyramid's chronological prophecy forty-six centuries ago, as defining the end of the Great Pyramid's second Low Passage period of Economic Tribulation and the entrance on the period of Divine Assessment and Judgment of the Nations. Six Empire Prime Ministers took part by wireless in the opening ceremony of the Empire Exhibition. "Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was 600 and 60 and 6 talents of gold." (1 Kings 10, 14). "No man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name." "Here is wisdom. Let him that bath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man: and his number is 600 and 60 and 6." (Rev., 13, 17-18). "Nebuchadnezzar the King made an image of gold, whose height was 60 cubits and the breadth thereof 6 cubits, then a herald cried aloud 'To you it is commanded, 0 people, nations, and languages, that ye fall down and worship the golden image." Nebuchadnezzar called an economic conference about 587 B.C., and there made it an unchangeable law that gold should be the standard. It was the system of the Empires - Egyptian, Babylonian, Persian, Grecian, Roman and medaeival, right through the seven times period of 2,520 years. The whole system of mortgage, interest, banks, foreclosure and so forth was there. Now 2,520 years from the date of Nebuchadnezzar's conference the nations called an international conference in London. Here, under pressure of circumstances, Great Britain decided to remain with sterling and to offer bills of exchange, that in themselves are waste paper, and nothing more. In the limited space afforded by what is only an introduction to the Great Pyramid and its Message to Anglo-Saxondom, the whole story of the attack by the Satanic forces cannot be given. Briefly man has learned to worship gold and its power rather than God, Who, as Creator is the source of all power. He permitted the Gold Standard system to operate over the period of 2,520 years and allowed Israel to assume part of this counterfeit power of money and to become so involved as to find itself the centre of attack. The attack by the Satanic forces upon the chosen nation was permitted by God. The nature of the attack was to cut Israel off from economic existence by removing its purchasing power, in other words, its gold. So stripped of its gold our nation's financial standing with other nations would collapse, the ultimate end being starvation and surrender of

33

the entire nation. The beginning of the attack came at the commencement of the Second Low Passage. Gold reserves were taken out of our possession, embarrassing us considerably, with a resultant discrediting in the world's money markets. The British Commonwealth received a severe blow, resulting in a rapid fall in prices onwards (until 1933) an increasing decline in employment, a sharp rise in bank rates, and a depreciation in the world's money markets of our currency. Thus we were permitted by God to be isolated from Gold, and the power it possessed. Then took place the disappearance of food, clothing, shelter and all that sustains life. This was the result aimed at by the Satanic powers embodied in International Finance, and America, too, found herself included in the attack at the time of the Wall Street crash of October, 1929. According to the Pyramid's symbolism, the culminating point was reached in August, 1931. Britain realised she was facing the turning point of her existence: that she alone must measure up to the stupendous decision that confronted her, of becoming economically independent altogether of the power of gold, that she must set an entirely new national course which would break her free from the control of International Finance. This, and much more was done, and as the end of the Second Low Passage approached a monetary crisis in France, developed, and on the Hebrew Feast of Atonement, 26th September, 1936, France went off the Gold Standard. On the same date occurred the Tripartite Monetary Agreement between Great Britain, France and the U.S.A., the whole world being off gold. A most important date is found in the Second Low passage, namely, January 31st, 1933. This point of time is exactly 286.1022 Pyramid inches from the Great Step. As previously explained the number 286 represents the Displacement factor, and it is thus appropriate that this date indicates the conception of the Theocratic State or Kingdom of Heaven. From this day onwards the process of extrication from the power of Gold sets in. The pyramid further shows that we became entirely free, as a race, of the limitations and restrictions of that system as we are seen entering the King's Chamber, September 16th, 1936. On this precise date Great Britain supported by the U.S.A. passed into full control of the Gold Standard system. This may appear contradictory in view of the fact that the nation was stripped of all its gold, but it is pointed out that immediately following the financial crisis in 1931, control of administration passed almost completely into the hands of a body named the Council. This was first formed by Lloyd George in 1916, and was the directing force against the powers of International Finance. The Council not only removed Britain from the clutches of the Gold Standard System but was instrumental in winning back the world's gold stocks, which are now in the joint care of Britain and the U.S.A. As is apparent the Great Pyramid addresses its message to the Great people of the United States as well as to Great Britain. The people of the U.S.A. speak the same language and use the same unit of measure. The Great Seal of the U.S.A. has on the obverse side an Eagle with 13 stars above its head, 13 letters in the motto which flutters on a scroll from its beak, 13 pale-ways in the shield on its breast, in its right talon an olive branch with 13 leaves and 13 olive fruits, in its left talon 13 arrows fledged with 13 feathers. The Latin motto held in the beak of the Eagle, E Pluribus Unum, means "one out of many," and signifies the union of the 13 American Colonies, and that they were one out of the 13 tribes of Israel, and in particular Manasseh the thirteenth. (SEE PAGE 75) Now Manasseh was born near the Pyramid and he and his brother Ephraim were accepted "as mine" by Jacob, and received the blessing of Joseph for material prosperity. Manasseh came to the "Isles of the Sea" with Ephraim and as "The Pilgrim Fathers" travelled westward to

34

"enlarge the place of their dwelling" (Is., 49, 20, 54. 2) Ephraim took the place of his Father Joseph as the 12th tribe: Manasseh making the 13th tribe. On the reverse side we find an unfinished Pyramid with 13 steps, the chief corner-stone being separated from the rest of the building and in the midst of the glory of God, in the centre of which is the All-Seeing Eye of Jehovah. The phrase above the Pyramid, Annuit Coeptis (13 letters) means "He prospers our undertakings," or "He prospers our independence." The Latin phrase below, Novus Ordo Seclorum, is translated "The New Order of Peoples." The American Colonists sincerely believed that they were the beginning of a new order of democracy, and the people of the U.S.A. today are convinced that the Anglo-Saxon world is destined to usher in a new and better order of society - The Kingdom of God upon the Earth. The flag of the President of the United States, corresponding to the Royal Standard of Britain, shows the obverse side of the Seal with the addition of 13 constellations. The first flag of the U.S.A. was the "Grand Union" and carried the Union Jack in the upper corner as does that of Canada, Australia and New Zealand today. It had 13 stripes of alternate white and red for the 13 British colonies. This flag was raised by Washington at Cambridge, Mass., in 1766, to a salute of 13 guns. On June 4th, 1777, a new flag was used, consisting of 13 stripes of red and white and 13 stars on an azure ground instead of the Union Jack. Today with the thirteen stripes are 50 stars. It is quite evident that as Great Britain is representative of Ephraim, being the "Nation and Company of Nations," so is the U.S.A. the "Great People", fulfilling the promises of Manasseh.

THE SYMBOLISM OF THE PIT The Symbolism of the Pit has been so well explained in "The Great Pyramid", (now out of print), by A. J. Ferris, B.A. that the author feels he could not do better than quote verbatim from this source. Mr. Ferris writes:- Just as the First Low passage, etc., gives the dates of Israel's experiences in the generation of the coming of the Kingdom of God on the earth, likewise the Pit's horizontal passage system should give the datings of the judgment of Gentile systems at the end of their times. The Pit has a finished roof, but instead of a floor, it has a pit surrounded by heaps of rubble - symbolising the turning upside-down of the Gentile orders in the day of their disintegration. How often does the Press of today speak of the upheavals in Europe as if the nations were hovering over the "abyss" or "Pit". As to the actual dates supplied by the Pit, just as the scale of the First Low Passage, etc., is one inch representing one month, so we should expect the same scale to apply to the Pit, etc. The floor of the Descending passage juts out into the Pit until it ends in the plane which vertically passes through the entrance to the First Low passage, thus giving the date 1914 A.D. The southern wall of the Pit is 322 5/8 inches away, which indicates, at one month to the inch, that the up-heaval of Gentile Babylonian orders comes to its climax in 1941, A.D., a significant year in Bible prophecy.

35

(It is noteworthy that the great clash between Germany and Russia commenced in June, 1941. - Author.) Then the Dead End passage which leaves the Pit at its south eastern corner, is 6451 inches long, which at a month for an inch, gives the date for the dead end as 1994 A.D. This passage surely: symbolises the final extermination of all anti-God religion through God's judgment and then the teaching ministry of Israel. Thus the year 1994 A.D., which is exactly 6,000 years from Adam, will see the full ushering of millennial blessings for all nations. Finally, when we mathematically continue the Descending passage downwards until it meets the 1994 A.D. vertical plane and measures back to the 1914 A.D. vertical plane at X, we find the distance is 1,080 inches. This represents, on the scale of a year to the inch, 1,080 years, which, added to 1994 A.D., gives the date for the commencement of Eternity as 2994 A.D., 7,000 years from Adam.

THE KING'S CHAMBER This chamber, the largest in the Great Pyramid, is of polished pink granite and measures 34 feet long by 17 feet wide and 19 feet high. It is also named the Chamber of the Open Tomb, and frequently it was referred to by the late David Davidson as "the Hall of the Judgment of the Nations". The epoch leading to this final judgment period commenced at the entry of the First Low Passage, August 4-5, 1914. But since "As a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the earth" (Luke 21:35) the point at which the consummation of the process would be reached is not defined. The world is not to know; but all true believers are enabled to judge when the time is near from certain historical and chronological signs. Technical calculations, far too complex for consideration in the somewhat limited scope of this explanation, are being avoided but certain peculiar aspects are brought to the readers attention. Reference should be made, however, to the Pi ratio, employed by the Great Architect in respect of measurements - height and base circuit - of the Great Pyramid. Here it is shown that the ratio of the height to the base circuit is as the radius of a circle to its ' circumference. In mathematics the Greek letter Pi denotes the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, and the value of it, expressed to six places of decimals, is 3.141592. This value is the basis of King's Chamber measurements. In his Miracles of History, published in 1947, Davidson stated that one of the units common in ancient times in the Middle East was a "foot" of 11.626 geometrical inches. This "Adamic foot" is a basic factor in the dimensions of the Coffer, which rests exactly five Adamic feet (58.13 inches) from the north, west and south walls of the King's Chamber. There are several points of resemblance between the King's Chamber and the Tabernacle of the Old Testament, particularly so with regard to the number five, the number signifying Grace or Favour; truly Divine in source and character. Dr. E. W. Bullinger refers to this number as associated with help and deliverance due to Divine intervention, as when David took his five pebbles when he slew Goliath. In the last phase of the Great War we took the "V" sign, and the five opening notes of Beethoven's

36

Fifth Symphony as an indication of the victory we believed would be ours. In the Tabernacle nearly every measurement was a multiple of "five". Its outer court measured 100 cubits by fifty cubits. The curtains forming the "gate" of that court were held up by pillars 5 cubits high, 5 cubits apart. The Tabernacle itself was 30 cubits long, 10 cubits wide and 10 cubits high. Between the "gate of the court" and entrance to the Tabernacle stood the brazen Altar which measured 5 cubits by 5 cubits. The Altar typified the Cross of Christ where He suffered in our stead, "that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish". The Headstone of the Great Pyramid - the "stone which the builders rejected" - had five sides. The Altar is typical of a judgment of fire awaiting evil men and systems represented in the King's Chamber period, when, after a time of judgment and cleansing Jesus Christ will manifest Himself to His people Israel. "There I will meet with the children of Israel, and the tabernacle shall be sanctified by my glory" (Ex., 29:43). The King's Chamber, with its Coffer represents the time in the experience of Anglo-Saxon-Israel when her attention will be forcibly directed to the Second Advent of the resurrected Christ as King; coming, as the Scriptures tell us to reign over the HOUSE OF JACOB, which means re-united Israel and Judah. The King's Chamber is built upon the fiftieth course of masonry from the ground-level upwards, and its walls contain, all told, exactly 100 granite stones arranged in five horizontal courses. (See plate on page 34.) So impressed was Professor Piazzi-Smyth by this repetition in the King's Chamber of the number 5 and its multiples, that he wrote "This so-called King's Chamber should rather have been called 'The Chamber of the Standard of Fifty'." As the number 5 or 50 is so often connected with Israel receiving blessings from God it surely indicates the King's Chamber epoch as representing a time of great spiritual awakening and blessing. In 1837 Colonel Howard Vyse discovered above the roof of the King's Chamber, that there were five other chambers which were called the Chambers of Construction. (See plate on page 31). Little did he, or anyone else, realise over 100 years ago, that when they called these chambers the Chambers of Construction that these represented the period in Israel's history known as the "times of restitution of all things". The special engineering features of these upper chambers, where huge granite beams and limestone buffers are employed, indicate that they were designed to protect the chamber from violent shock. The symbolism signifies special protection of the Elect People of the Kingdom of our Lord during a period of drastic alteration in world conditions. We can now look back at those dark and terrible days through which we were obliged to pass, and as we go over the events from September 1st, 1939, until the surrender of Germany in 1945, we see the unmistakable evidence of Divine intervention. But for this Britain would never have survived. The reader may wonder why such a period of tribulation was not indicated in the King's Chamber by means of a low passage, as in the case of World War 1, and I can only suggest that as the predominant feature of the King’s Chamber is Protection, added to which are almost 17 years of the most important events in world history, a specific indication of 5 years and 9 months of war was perhaps regarded as unnecessary. I merely offer this as a suggestion, with the very obvious fact in mind that during the First Low Passage period God moved in no uncertain way in those critical days, although there is nothing in the structure of the Passage to indicate it. We must remember, too, that never in

37

her nine hundred years of freedom from invasion had Britain come so near to defeat as during those dark days of World War 11. After Dunkirk she was standing within 23 miles of the enemy practically weaponless. The German army, over two hundred divisions of them, were on the other side of the Channel, and all that Britain had in trained, armed troops, was less than one division. Let us recall, briefly, some of the instances of Divine intervention and protection, and the miraculous results which followed Days of National Prayer. "BEHOLD THE SEA, THE EARTH, AND THE SKY ARE MINE, SAITH

THE LORD" At 4 o'clock on April 22nd, 1915, Germany launched her first gas attack. The weather was supposed to be settled as to wind direction for thirty-six hours, but the gas was blown back to the enemy lines with disastrous results. According to the German meteorological records, over a period of forty years, such a thing had never happened before, and strange to say, the wind whirled in only one small area. In the Bible God's dealing with the wind is mentioned one hundred and sixteen times. In the darkest June of the war the Austrian and German soldiers had crossed the Piave river, a sleepy stream which flows slowly for 125 miles to the sea, and were within six and a-half miles of Venice, at that particular time a key position, when out of what an hour before had been a dry sky there burst a Niagara. In an hour the Piave was a wide, roaring sea, sweeping all before it. The Italians captured or killed more than forty thousand of the enemy. One hundred and two times the Bible speaks of God's dealings with the rain. In November, 1917, the Germans hoped to sweep the seas clear of American ships and soldiers and had launched their mighty submarine attack when the seas rolled and raged so unceasingly that they were unable to return to base, and were obliged to surface. They were either sunk or captured and the back of the German submarine warfare was broken. Two hundred and nineteen times the Bible tells of God's doings and dealings with His storms at sea. It was in this same year that German scientists had solved the problem of growing food and grain and perfected it as never before in the history of the world. They announced the potato crop of all time, having put in each potato hill that which would kill every potato enemy above and below ground. But an unknown blight swept through the miles of blossoms and in a day the potato fields of Germany were scorched and shrivelled as though fire-swept. Ludendorff, in his History of the War, says that it was the failure of the potato crop of 1917 that lost Germany the war. Towards the end of August, 1914, when the German army had swept everything aside and had advanced right into the heart of Belgium and France, it was realised that God alone could help us, and the British nation humbly knelt in solemn prayer. in answer to this act there appeared what became known as the "Angels of Mons". These wonderful Beings, much larger than men, appeared on more than one occasion and although seen quite clearly in bright daylight by the British, were not observed by the enemy. The Germans were halted and retreated in disorder, and their horses were seen to panic. On August 4th, 1918, the King and Queen, together with both Houses of Parliament, met in a solemn act of prayer at St. Margaret's, Westminster. This was on a Sunday, and during the three days which followed preparations were made for the attack which began on August 8th, commencing an advance which never ceased until the Armistice was signed on November

38

11th, 1918. Connected with this phase of the war occurred another Divine manifestation which became known as "The White Cavalry". During the height of a bombardment by the enemy at the little French town of Bethune there appeared men in white, riding upon white horses. They advanced quietly in parade ground formation towards the German lines, through a dense hail of lead, and not a single man or horse fell. Our only account of their appearance comes from the Germans, for they were not seen by the Allies as were the Angels of Mons. Prisoners who were later captured spoke in awe of the leader - a man whose hair, like spun gold, shone in an aura round his bare head, and by whose side hung a great sword. The guns ceased firing and then began a panic-stricken retreat, hundreds of men throwing away their equipment in order that their movements might not be impeded. The German army was broken, and by November 11th the Allies captured 385,000 prisoners and over 5,000 guns. Planes of the R.A.F. were frequently protected from the enemy by cloud during the 1914-18 period of war, and again during the Battle of Britain were observed these providential cloud formations which would cloak our men and allow them to escape when hard pressed. It was low cloud cover which protected thousands from air attack at Dunkirk, when a smooth sea - which is normally always rough at that particular time - enabled 350,000 men, whose fate had been sealed, to be safely transported across the Channel. Shall we ever forget the suspense of those days? His Majesty the King appointed May 26th, 1940, as a National Day of Prayer, and, in company with Mr. Churchill and members of the Cabinet, attended a special service in Westminster Abbey, while throughout the land and Empire millions committed our cause in that dark hour to God. Two days later a great storm broke over Flanders, giving cover to our retreating forces and at the same time hampering the enemy, whilst the English Channel was calmed by the protecting hand of God, thus making Dunkirk the outstanding example of miraculous intervention. After Dunkirk we had nothing left but a portion of our army. Our weapons had gone, vehicles, tanks, planes, with an even bigger disaster in the LOSS of our naval forces. Forty-seven warships were sunk off Norway and Denmark, and when the evacuation was over half our destroyer fleet lay awaiting repairs in our shipyards. Yet Hitler left us alone when we could not possibly have resisted his massed might. He never invaded. Was it the arm of God again? On August 11th began the Battle of Britain, and little did we realise by how narrow a margin the battle of the skies was won. Hitler was no doubt softening up preparatory to an invasion, and the blitz of December 29th was to have started the second Great Fire of London. This operation, however, mysteriously and suddenly came to an end at 10 o'clock that night. The German Air Command instructed all bombers to return to their bases, as the weather had taken a turn for the worse and fog was blotting out their aerodromes. Up to one thousand bombers were to have been used during the night. The time Hitler had fixed for the invasion was September 16th20th, when the tides were right, with calm weather and a harvest moon. But the Unseen Hand intervened and gales sprang up on the 17th, and continued until after the 29th. The German invasion boats were either swamped or shot up in harbours where they were taken for safety. So we were threatened with a further attempt during the November and December fogs, for which the Channel is well known, but for the first time in living memory there were no fogs that winter

39

in the Straits. February 15th, 1941, was another invasion date, but on February 14th a submarine earthquake occurred in the Atlantic with hurricane damage in Spain, the effects on the tidal system round the British Isles being sufficiently serious and prolonged to upset the enemy's plans. The victory of El Alamein in October, 1942, has been described by Field-Marshall Montgomery as "the turning-point of the war for the Allies," and is another event following a Day of National Prayer, which occurred on this occasion on September 3rd. Then .followed the sweeping of the enemy right out of Tunisia, the relief of the gallant outpost of Malta, the capture of Sicily and the beginning of the invasion of Europe. On November 7th, there took place the Anglo-U.S. landings in North Africa, where in spite of heavy swells too high for landing operations the weather was strangely calm for the day which had been decided upon. In the Sicily invasion, also, the gale which would have meant disaster to our landing craft suddenly dropped within an hour and a-half of zero hour. Do we fully appreciate how near the Allied landings on the Normandy beaches came to disaster, comparably perhaps with the fate of the Spanish Armada? "D Day" had already been postponed for twenty-four hours on account of bad weather - regarded as quite abnormal for the time of year - and then the leaders of our forces decided to sail. Had they not done so then the expedition would probably have been delayed until June 18th, the earliest date for suitable tides. Looking back now, we remember this date as one of calm seas, but followed at four-o'clock the next morning by a storm which lasted for two and a-half days. Had the invasion fleet come in on that Sunday, June 18th, the whole expedition might have been wrecked. Was this once more the guiding hand of God? In recalling these outstanding instances of God's power on land, sea and in the air, we are forced to ask ourselves the question, "Why have we been spared?" and when we reflect upon our national shortcomings in the guise of disease, crime, alcoholism and the widespread breaking of Divine Law in general, it becomes evident that it is not because of any degree of national perfection. The late Archbishop of Canterbury, at a Battle of Britain commemoration service on September 26th, 1943, said: "We may, and we must, believe that He Who has led our fathers in ways so strange, and has preserved our land in a manner so marvellous, has a purpose for us to serve in the preparation for His perfect Kingdom." It is when we grasp this fact of Divine Purpose that we are able to see the plan which is forecast in Scripture. It involves a threefold declaration of purpose: the Preservation of Israel; the Punishment of the Nations; and Israel's Cleansing and Triumph. "But thou Israel, art My servant, Jacob whom I have chosen the seed of Abraham My friend . . . fear not, for I am with thee: be not dismayed for I am thy God . . . I will uphold thee with the right hand of My Righteousness. Behold all those who were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded; they shall be as nothing, and they that strive with thee shall perish ... fear not thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel, I will help thee, said the Lord thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel." Thus new light is shed on such statements as this; we begin to realise the unfolding of the great covenant with our fore-father Abraham, whose seed was to become a "Nation and a Company of Nations" - to "possess the gates of their enemies" and in whom all the families of the earth were to be blessed, and there emerges the "stone" Kingdom of Daniel, "which shall never be destroyed" . . . but "stand for ever". As an instrument in the hands of God we have stood among the nations as a bulwark against oppression and unrighteousness; we have been God's "battle axe and weapons of war", enabling Him to

40

"break in pieces the nations" and "destroy kingdoms". Our becoming a "peculiar treasure" unto God, and "a holy nation" - "My servant in whom I will be glorified" and "the sons of the living God" would seem to depend upon our National Repentance and Cleansing. When God led Israel out of Egypt He made an agreement or Covenant with them through Moses that they would have to keep the social, economic and political laws that He gave them if they were to become His servant nation for the blessing of the world. The conditions of this Mosaic covenant are set out in Leviticus 26, together with the penalties for disobedience. As a result of our national and individual sins we have again and again been chastened economically and militarily - and even our deliverance’s in conflict with the enemy have been effected at a cost which might have been avoided. The Lord's promise was not that He would keep Israel from war, but that He would keep them in war/ The failure on the part of Israel to recgonise the Kingship of Jehovah and to walk in His covenants is responsible for all their troubles today (Deut. 28, 15-68), including the wastage of the manpower of the nation on the field of battle (Lev. 26, 7, 8, 14, 17). It is here - in God's faithfulness - that we discover the true meaning of the Scriptural exclamation: "He bath not beheld iniquity in Jacob" (Num., 23:21). "This does not mean," says A.R.H., writing in The National Message of April 17th, 1940, "that there is no iniquity in our national life, nor does it mean that God cannot see it, but that He does not see it. It does not mean that He overlooks it, but that He does not observe it: God has redeemed Jacob, and we are a redeemed people. God does not behold the iniquity in Jacob because Christ - as Redeemer of His people Israel - stands in our place. When God looks at the nation He can only see Christ, Who died for us as a nation. Here we catch a vision of the staggering glory of national redemption. For Christ not only died for us as Saviour of the world, but as the Redeemer of Israel, and God bath laid upon Him the iniquities (individual and national) of us all." Thus Israel, held in reserve as God's servant nation against the day of His final judgment of the nations is yet chastened in measure according to their failure to walk in God's ways, and their lack of trust in Him. "Fear thou not, 0 my servant Jacob, saith the Lord; . . . For I am with thee, to save thee; though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished." (Jer., 30: 10, 11; 46; 28).

THE HALL OF JUDGMENT THE Scriptures give warning, in no uncertain terms, of a "day" of "judgment" that is to precede the return of Jesus Christ. It was likened to the destruction that overwhelmed Sodom and Gomorrah, but on a world scale (Luke 17: 28-30). Jesus said, "As a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth" (Luke 21: 35). Today the whole of Second Advent teaching is scoffed at and by-passed in our churches. Nevertheless, such a denial would, according to the Apostle Peter, be a sign of the approach of our Lord, for "in the last days" scoffers would challenge, "Where is the promise of His coming?" (11 Peter 3: 4). "The day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night: in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the

41

works that are therein shall be burned up." (11 Peter 3: 10). In 1945, no less an authority than Sir Richard Gregory, President of the British Association, drew attention to the eschatological relevance of this passage to the atomic bomb and to Peter's words as being almost an exact picture of what would happen in a third world war. In over a thousand places in the Bible there is inference and clear proclamation concerning the fact that the Lord Jesus Christ Himself will make a PERSONAL return to this world, to reign in it until God's plan is complete, until His Will is "done in earth, even as it is done in heaven". The Kingdom established by God at Sinai is to come as an ordered society on earth with Christ, the Anointed, as actual reigning Monarch. Then, and then only shall we see God's will done on earth as it is done in heaven. The first letter of Paul to the Thessalonians includes a very eloquent and detailed description of our Lord's Second Coming and its effect upon the believer. These words have brought immense comfort to thousands of men and women through many generations. The New Testament gives overwhelming prominence to this great event. Out of the 250 chapters there are 300 references to it. One out of every 13 verses refers to it, and in the Epistles 1 out of every 10 verses speaks about it. In 14 of the 21 Epistles there is no mention of Baptism, and in 20 out of 21 there is no mention of the Lord's Supper, but on almost every page there is mention of the coming again of the Lord. "This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven." As references to the Second Advent have been spiritualised away by the Christian world so too have those of the Kingdom. The word kingdom occurs 117 times in the four Gospels: Matthew uses it fifty times, Mark nineteen, Luke forty-four, and John four. Most of the parables have the kingdom as their theme; the Church, on the other hand, occupying an almost negligible place in the teaching of Christ as recorded in the Gospels. Our Lord used the word ecclesia (Church) on only two occasions. The word Church occurs but three times in the Gospels, and Matthew is the only one to use it. In the Lord's prayer the word Church does not occur, but the kingdom is mentioned twice. We are frequently told by ecclesiastical leaders that the Church is the kingdom. If this is so why continue to pray for its coming9 That the Church is here one cannot deny. The most important theme attaching to the Great Pyramid is that which centers around its missing Headstone. "Did ye never read in the scriptures, the stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner ;this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?" (Matt., 21: 42). Christ identified Himself with this rejected Stone, one day to become "the Head of the corner", to return and reign as King in peace and righteousness over the earth. Many years ago students of Scriptural prophecy discovered that outstanding events in history were linked together by time-measures of definite duration. These, of more recent connection are shortly presented to the reader who may be the judge. Sometimes the sceptically-minded try to dismiss the evidence on the grounds that such correspondences are merely coincidental. "Bible students" say the critics, "can find a prophecy to fit any situation". It is easy, they contend, to be wise after the event.

42

Over eighty-three years ago an American Minister, the Rev. Joseph Wild foresaw, from Bible prophecy, the world situation almost exactly as it is today. He wrote a book; and indicated therein the following events prior to Armageddon:

Russia "will have grown to giant-like proportions and will finally measure swords with England." Communism would spread and "is destined to unsettle every throne in Europe but one - England's." Russia will be at the head of a great anti-Christian confederacy, which will include "China". "On the Lord's side" the "called, the chosen and the faithful" will be in England, her colonies, and the United States. "Manasseh" - the United States - will have to stretch out a helping hand to Jacob (England) in his time of trouble, for she cannot allow liberty to be enslaved and freedom of worship and conscience to be trampled underfoot." "Russia's one grand desire is to possess Palestine, especially Jerusalem." "Several wars will take place before Armageddon which, in their nature, will be fierce and terrible. Still these will be preparatory - leading to the day of decision and the battle final."

"Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path," said the Psalmist, and the Apostle Peter remarked, "We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place." The Christian Church today has little or no time for Bible prophecy and seldom, if ever, is it referred to in the pulpit. Our Lord however, did not condemn the subject when He was asked, "What shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the age?" On the contrary He gave a detailed prophetic sketch of this closing epoch, and concluded by saying, "When ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand." (Luke 21: 31). Today we cannot dispute the certainty of out Lord's return, for we believe His promise. But like the disciples (Matt. 24: 3) we may be inclined to ask, "Tell us, when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the consummation of the age". How do we, upon whom the end of the age has come, identify our generation as that of which Jesus was sepaking9 The identifying signs have already been given in the 24th chapter of Matthew; events which have transpired in our generation: Jerusalem has been delivered; there have been two world wars; thrones have fallen; there has been great tribulation; knowledge has increased; upon earth there is distress of nations; iniquity abounds; men's hearts are failing them for fear, for the powers of heaven are being

43

shaken (atomic and hydrogen bombs). There can be no doubt that our Lord's words are addressed to us: "When ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors."

"THE HEAVENS DECLARE THE GLORY OF GOD"

In his infinite wisdom, God, Who sees the end from the beginning, has so set the mechanism of the universe in motion that the light of an exploding star has flared in the heavens in accordance with the timing of events upon the earth to signal their importance. On Thursday May 6th, 1954 the California Institute of Technology, reported the discovery of a new supernova or "exploding star", in the Constellation of Virgo. This rare astronomical event would appear about once every 500 years. This great discovery was made in a photograph taken early on Monday morning, May 3rd, 1954, through the eighteen-inch Schmidt telescope at Mount Palomar Observatory in California, the report stating that it was 100,000,000 times brighter than our sun. To the prophetic student this is very significant, for we understand the Star of Bethlehem appeared suddenly in the Constellation of Coma - which accompanies Virgo - heralding the birth of Jesus Christ. The wise men alone beheld and recognised the importance of the Star of Bethlehem which they had seen as a bright nova suddenly shining in Coma, indicating to them that the "desired one" the coming King, was about to be born. No one in Judea or Jerusalem saw this star, and but for the testimony of the wise men no information concerning its appearance would have been made known. The "desired one" came when Mary, the young Virgin, gave birth to her son, and a year later the wise men arrived to pay homage to Him. Does this new star, which has suddenly appeared in the sign of Virgo, the Virgin, herald the coming of Him who is the Branch? The name of one of the stars in the right arm of Virgo, which carries the Branch, is AI Mureddin, which means "who shall come down" or "who shall have dominion". Surely this is an omen to the wise in this generation that His return is indeed close at hand. On February 2nd, 1962 the London Planetarium confirmed, in response to a request, that there was a rare conjunction of planets seven in all - in the Constellation of Aquarius. A somewhat similar conjunction occurred five years before the Deluge, whilst another occurred when Jesus Christ was born. "BY MEASURE HATH HE MEASURED THE TIMES, AND BY NUMBER HATH HE NUMBERED THE TIMES; AND HE DOTH NOT MOVE NOR STIR THEM, UNTIL THE SAID MEASURE BE FULFILLED" (11 Esdras 4:37) To the plea of the Prophet Esdras for more understanding, the Lord responded: "The more thou searchest, the more thou shalt marvel." (II Esdras 4:26) Much painstaking research has gone into the work associated with King's Chamber measurements, and the unfolding time pattern reveals that God is guiding the affairs of men and nations in accordance with His own predetermined schedule. Having entered this Chamber on 16th September, 1936, and continuing straight on towards the south wall we come to the centre point on 4th March, 1945. Here, by turning to the right, we face the Coffer, then by proceeding along this centre line towards the west wall of the

44

Chamber we reach the midway point on 12th May, 1960. Still continuing towards the Coffer we come to the north-south axis of the Great Pyramid on 3rd September, 1968. This date, when "displacement" is at last nullified becomes one of the momentous mileposts of history. It brings His people into harmony with God and makes possible the restoration to mankind of peace and blessedness. The well-known Pyramidologist, William O. Lay, Jr. introduces an interesting feature associated with the Antechamber, the length of which is precisely delimited by the diameter of a "year circle" whose circumference is 365.24 Pyramid inches. Concealed in the Great Pyramid's structural design the year-circle symbolises the Lord of the Great Pyramid, Jesus Christ, the "Sun of righteousness", who shall "arise with healing in his wings". (Mal. 4:2) Extending from the mid-point of the Antechamber - 20th August, 1923 - to the South Wall of the King's Chamber - 20th August, 1953 - a period of 30 x 365.24 days comprises a "year of months" which, in the ancient Messianic prophecies, was known as the Period of Renewal or Regeneration. Mr. Lay writes: ". . . . All the tribulation and Divine "pressure" of the Antechamber period failed to jar Israel from its materialistic rut and awaken it to the need for reorientation into Divinely prescribed Ways of Righteousness. Therefore, at the conclusion of the period, pressure was renewed in intensified form. It was on 20th August, 1953, that Russia announced her first successful test of a hydrogen bomb. Over unrepentant Israel now hung the threat of thermonuclear devastation at the hands of an implacable enemy sworn to wipe her from the face of the earth. "After leaving the Antechamber, the Anglo-Saxon nations passed through the turbulent years covered by the Second Low Passage 29th May, 1928 to 16th September, 1936 - This was a time of intense economic distress, the world-system rocked to its foundations by depression and then snarled by an assortment of left-wing panaceas which patched it up for a time but ensured its ultimate collapse. The interval also saw the rise of Hitler, the resurgence of German militarism, and finally the Spanish Civil War which was a dress rehearsal for World War II." Now if the "year of months" is measured from the mid-point of the Second Low Passage (22-23 July, 1932) along the east-west centre line of the King's Chamber towards the Coffer, it would terminate at the date 22-23 July, 1962. From this date to the north-south central axis, 3rd September, 1968, representing the rectification of displacement, is a period consisting of 2,233 days which form a most remarkable and significant combination: 1335 plus 5 x 153 plus 133. Thus is represented Daniel's number of blessedness (1335) plus the number of the Elect, multiplied 5 times, the number 5 signifying Grace or Favour, and a prominent King's Chamber number, plus 133. The latter number is 7 times the Lunar or Metonic Cycle (19) and 7 of course is the number of spiritual perfection. Davidson submitted that 20th August, 1953 saw the commencement of a secondary movement from the West end of the King's Chamber eastwards. Those taking part in this circumambulation (overcomers) would pass over the Coffer and reach the line of the north-south axis on 8th July, 1960, thereafter joining the Righteous Ones of the Kingdom on 5th August, 1964. This junction date will complete 50 years from the commencement of the First

45

Low Passage. Mr. Lay refers to this junction date, showing it to be 1335 plus 153 days from the displacement date, 8th July, 1960. The technicalities of this subject are not being introduced as they are somewhat involved and could cause confusion in the mind of the reader. The letter X above, indicates the mid-date between the Junction date and that of the north-south axis, namely 18-19th August, 1966. Exactly 2300 (cleansing) plus 1335 (blessedness) separate 18-19th August, 1966 from 5th September, 1956, when the Atlantic Council held an emergency meeting on the Suez crisis. Several remarkable links are evident between 18-19th August, 1966, and as restoration and renewal figure so prominently it is not surprising to discover that the beginning of the world's Sabbath of Rest is indicated. From the August, 1966 terminal an interval of exactly 888 plus ten times the sum of 1040 and 153 days extends to 22nd September, 2001, which marks the autumn equinoctial beginning of the Millennium. Ten is the perfect number, signifying the perfection of Divine order whilst 1040 represents the difference between the numbers 1260 and 2300. The number 1040 does not appear on the surface in the Bible, but it is used again and again in chronology. Mr. Howard B. Rand in an article in Destiny in April, 195 1, showed that an interval of 1152 days from the outbreak of the Korean War, 25th June, 1950, would end on the Great Pyramid date, 20th August, 1953. This, he believed, was intended to alert those who were watching world events. It was noticed shortly after that a further six periods of 1152 days would end exactly on 23rd July, 1972, the date indicated as the Top of the King's Chamber. By this is meant the top of the south wall if measurements were continued straight up after the wall was reached on 20th August, 1953. Mr. Rand developed this chain, showing how important events coincided with dates in the chain. It is of interest to note that the period from 20th August, 1953 to 23rd July, 1972 consists of 19 years, a Metonic cycle in duration. Let us now consider further prophetic cycles:

666 - The Beast-Satanic power 1260 - Trouble 1290 - Desolation 2300 - Cleansing

From Hitler's birth, 20th April, 1889, to the entry of the King's Chamber was 26 x 666, and from his birth to the date of his Blitzkrieg, 10th May, 1940 was 28 x 666 days. From the Blitzkrieg date to the south wall, 20th August, 1953, the following applied: 1290 x 1260 x 2300 days. From the Kaiser's birth, 27th January, 1859, to the beginning of the Great War measured 666 months, and from the commencement of the Balkan War of 6th October, 1912 to the 3rd August, 1914 was 666 days. From Britain's entry, on 4th August, 1914 to the Battle of Jutland, 31st May, 1916 was 666 days. From Germany's entry on 1st August, 1914 to the date of Japan's Blitzkrieg, on 7th December, 1941 was 15 x 666 days.

46

Hitler became Dictator, 26th Feb-5th March 1933, and the Hitler-Mussolini Pact was concluded 20-27th October, 1936, a period of 2 x 666 days. From the latter date to 13-20th June, 1940 when France sued for peace another 2 x 666 days elapsed. The American financial crisis occurred on 25th October, 1929 and 666 days later, on the 22nd August, 1931, took place the British financial crisis.

The number 1260 is the Biblical time, times and the dividing of time. It is one-half of the seven times (7 x 360). It was 1260 days from the Home Rule crisis of 11 - 18th November, 1912 to the Irish Rebellion on 24th April -1st May, 1916. Italy declared war on Austria on 23rd May, 1915, and Austria surrendered 1260 days later on 3rd November, 1918. The "Lusitania" was sunk without warning on 7th May, 1915, and 1260 days afterwards, on 18-20th October, 1918, the sinking of passenger ships ceased. Mr. Lloyd George became Minister of Munitions on 25-31st May, 1915, the War ending in victory 5-11th November, 1918, 1260 days later. Britain entered the Great War on 4th August, 1914 and 6 x 1260 days later on 16th April, 1935 condemned German rearmament. From the commencement of World War 1 to the Victory Week of World War 11, 14-21st August, 1945, measured 9 x 1260. From the Peace Treaty crisis, 18-28th June, 1919, to the entry of the King's Chamber on 16th September, 1936, was a period of 5 x 1260 days; a further 5 x 1260 reaching the French Presidential crisis of 16-26th December, 1953. The Armistice was signed on 11th November, 1918 and 6 x 1290 days later Hitler launched his Blitzkrieg, on 10th May, 1940. Britain entered the War on 4th August, 1914 and 8 x 1290 days afterwards defeats the Axis Armies in Egypt, on 5-6th November, 1942. Hitler became Fuehrer on 2nd August, 1935, his death being announced 3 x 1290 days later, on 1-2nd May, 1945. From the Nazi victory when Hitler came to power, 5-6th March, 1933 to the end of the Second Low Passage, 15-16th September, 1936 comprised 1290 days. From the date of Hitler's Blitzkrieg on 10th May, 1940 to the end of the King's Chamber, 20th August, 1953 this number is associated with 1260 and 2300; representing trouble, desolation and cleansing: 1290 x 1260 x 2300. From the face of the Great Step, 2nd August, 1909 to 23rd July, 1972 the Top of the King's Chamber there are 10 x 2300 days. From the entrance to the First Low Passage, 4-5th August, 1914 to 17th September, 2001, the end of the 6000 years, measures 7 x 1260 plus 10 x 2300 days. At the time of the coronation of our Queen a notable Pyramidologist, Mr. Brian Cannon, noticed that a period of 7 x 2520 days, from 2nd June, 1953 to 17th September, 2001 - inclusive - would occur. In Australia a well-known investigator, Mrs. Dorothy Price, observed another significant period which would end on this terminal. Measured from the fall

47

of Jerusalem, 7-9th December, 1917 two hundred cycles of 153 - the number of the "elect" - will end 17-19th September, 2001.

THE OPEN TOMB

The Bible is very clear in its teachings that there is to be a resurrection of the dead. Many accept the teachings of Jesus and the fact of His crucifixion, but refusing to believe in the resurrection renders this of little avail as the entire significance and purpose of the work of our Lord is missed. Without the resurrection He was just another teacher, a good man, a martyr to his ideals. The importance of the resurrection was discussed by Paul, who said: 11... But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. "But every man in his own order: Christ the first fruits; afterwards they that are Christ's at his coming" (1 Cor. 15:19-23). Paul comforts those whose dear ones have fallen asleep in Christ. At the Lord's coming, he says, the living will not prevent, or as the Greek word phthano means, "precede" those who sleep. He then gives the order of events. The Lord descends from heaven with a shout, and the voice of an archangel, with the trumpet of God "The dead in Christ shall arise first." The Greek word translated "first" means; "before anything else, in time, space, etc." The same word appears in numerous other passages always signifying "before" or "preceding in time". Thus the dead will arise first; the graves giving up their dead before the living are affected. The time between the resurrection of the dead and the translation of the living is not indicated. It may be hours, days or weeks, we do not know. There is every indication that the age is now coming to its termination. In his Testimony in Stone, Mr. J. Bernard Nicklin shows the End of the Age thus: The "Times of the Gentiles" ended 9-11 th December, 1917, "This Generation" (10 x 1335 plus 1260) extending to 9 - 11 th December, 1957. The "Day of the Lord" (1260 plus 1290) then follows to 2-4th December, 1964, followed by Blessing. The "Day of the Lord" it should be remembered would consist of two phases: first, one of peace, followed by one of "Sudden destruction". Can we find a similarity between the conditions of today and those obtaining at the time of the Deluge? Prior to the Flood “the wickedness of man was great ... the earth corrupt ... filled with violence’. By faith Noah, being warned of God, prepared an ark for the saving of his house. No doubt he kept count of the years, and knew when the time was about to expire. Referring to the conditions at the end Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Noe (Noah), so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man" (Luke 17:26). There is no doubt that conditions today resemble those described as existing then, and moreover, there is evidence that a 120-year warning period when measured from the Foot of the Great Step will expire in 1964. Noah was warned of the approaching Deluge 120 years before it occurred. When this time had expired, and seven days before the great deep above began to break up, he was directed to load the ark, after which he and his family entered and were shut in. One year later Noah and his family came out into a new world order.

48

Jesus told an interesting story about certain “virgins” who went out to meet the "bridegroom", but because he tarried, they all slumbered and slept (Matt. 25:1-13). It was not until the end of the tarrying time that they were aroused to the fact that the bridegroom was indeed coming. This parable of the Virgins prefigures events now taking place. In the figure Of the virgins going out to period, we have meet the bridegroom at the beginning of the tarrying period, we have the inception of the Second Advent Movement in 1844 A.D. at which time there were great expectations concerning the coming of the Lord. From 1844 to 1964 there are 120 years and one year later, corresponding with the year of the Deluge, brings us to 1965. The 666 years allotted to the Second Woe are also about to end. The First Woe ended in 1299 A.D. and the Second Woe began with the rise of the Ottomans and will not end until the resurrection of the Witnesses and their ascension takes place. (Rev. 11:11-12). The statement then follows: “The Second Woe is past; and, behold, the Third Woe cometh quickly.” If 666 years from the beginning to the close of the First Woe is indicated as a measuring rod for the length of the Second Woe, then the Second Woe would end in 1965 A.D. to be followed immediately by the Third Woe. The Mighty Angel who lifted his hand to heaven and swore by him who lives forever declared: "In the days of the voice of the seventh angel (the angel of the Third Woe), when he shall begin (is about) to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets." (Rev. 10:7) The "mystery of God" refers to the resurrection and translation of which Paul spoke when he said: 'Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." (1 Cor. 15:51-52) As the end of the 120 years of tarrying draws near, and the 666 years of the Second Woe are about to end should we not heed our Lord's admonition as recorded in Luke 21:36:? "Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man."

CONCLUSION The Great Pyramid surely presents a challenge to modern thinkers, scholars, philosophers, scientists and ecclesiastics. Has the Great Pyramid's Prophecy proved true to date? The answer is that events have provided a complete and irrefutable confirmation of the prophecy. The Great Pyramid is a structure with a scientific purpose to serve, and was constructed even before the Bible itself was written confirming that purpose. Dealing with the history of Israel in all its detail right up into our own times, and confirming all the prophecies given to Israel and the British race from the beginning, this colossal monument stands, giving its scientific prophecy to us and supplying, with the Bible, the assurance of Divine guidance for us in the evil days in which we live.

In closing this brief introduction to a study of the world's most wonderful building nothing could be more appropriate than a reference to those trenchant, yet dramatically beautiful paragraphs in Davidson's The Challenge of the Great Pyramid: "The re-affirmation and confirmation of the Truth of Salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, given by the Great Pyramid's Revelation, come at a time when faith is flagging and vision is dim, and when, as in these days of perplexity and falling away, and of apathy and unbelief, the essential Message of the Gospel of Salvation and the Gospel of the Kingdom is sorely needed. This re-statement of the Message, hidden for ages and now delivered from the remote past, is opportune. It comes in the goodness and mercy of Almighty God, as His final guiding admonition to our age of civilization, prepared by Him in the past for this, our present crisis, saying, in effect:

"You, who have disbelieved My Word, and rejected My Son; You, who have sought, by your learning, to discredit My Word and have taught man to ignore My Son, and You, who have built upon unstable worldly foundations to learn that your work can be shaken and overthrown.

Consider and understand that I have confirmed My Word and have glorified it, and that therefore My Son is glorified as My Sacrifice for your sakes. For your Sakes, I have shaken and overthrown your work to prepare you to receive the work of my Son. To teach you My ways, I turned you not from the ways of your own conceits that you should learn the bitterness thereof. Nor did I yet reveal to you that I had exposed the conceits of your learning before ever your learning was. "Here is My record of those things, My witness in stone, prepared at My command, forty-five centuries before your time; prepared that you might receive wisdom and understanding in the days of your disillusionment. "Turn whilst yet there is time, to the seeking of Truth where, hitherto, you have sought but error; and cease from placing stumbling blocks for others where the foundation of your own understanding should be laid. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ." To fit ourselves that we may become a kingdom of priests and a holy nation" there must be a turning to God, and a cleansing from our many national and individual imperfections. God created and prepared the Israel race to be His model Kingdom to act as a light to all nations by demonstrating to them God's way of life. The Great Pyramid symbolised this purpose in the physical function it once performed as a sun-dial. With its beautiful casing stones it reflected the glory of God; and then, when the stones were stripped off it ceased to reflect the light of the sun. In like manner the nation of ancient Israel during their captivity and punishment period ceased to shine with the brightness which had been theirs. Under the terms of the New Covenant, as recorded in Jeremiah 3 1, we find that the nation would experience complete forgiveness of sin, and would be endued with Divine power to practice the laws of God. ". . . I will put My law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts, and will be their God, and they shall be My people..." All true Christians are collectively called in the New Testament the "Church" or the executive "Body of Christ". To these will be given the privilege of reigning with Christ the "Head" as His "Government" in the millennium. The disciples were told, "Ye are the light of

50

the world". Therefore the "Body of Christ" will be the living casing stones under whose government Israel will become the model Kingdom God intended, reflecting His glory to all nations. Peter wrote to the Christian section of the scattered House of Israel, "The Lord is gracious, to whom coming as unto a living stone ... ye also as living stones are built up a spiritual house." Writing to the Ephesians, Paul also describes their preparation and future calling, ". . . Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner stone in whom all the building, fitly framed together, groweth into a holy temple in the Lord." Paul implied that in a completed physical Pyramid all the easing stones must be "fitly framed together" in direct line with the head corner stone, in order to provide a perfect reflecting surface. We must, therefore, be so shaped that we form a perfect structure which will reflect to all nations His Divine life, knowledge and blessing.

Thus in the seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, all the families of the earth will be blessed.
