Into the ocean of astronomical mathematics and chronological arguments we cannot
plunge, but quite a series of books have been written purporting to show that the Great
Pyramid contains a most elaborate and detailed prophecy of the purpose of God in Christ.
The chronology of "the time of the end" as given by the Great Pyramid covers A.D.1557
to A.D.1914. Its minuteness of detail is remarkable. The exact date of the entry of
Great Britain into the War in August, 1914, together with the date of the Armistice is
given by the Great Pyramid.
So many dates and events which have such deep and immediate personal application
are given, that one of the effects is that the prophetic chronology purporting to be that of
the Great Pyramid becomes more vivid and important than the Scripture itself. Imagine
the effect upon the mind of a person who has accepted the teaching that the Great
Pyramid is God's own divinely ordained prophetic witness for these last days, being
solemnly told that the Great Pyramid marks off with uncanny precision the following
dates as events in the bringing in of the end, 3:53p.m. on 29th May, 1928; 11:14a.m. on
16th of September, 1936; 0:45a.m. on 20th August, 1953. The Bible can show nothing
like it. If this is divine, then the Bible so far as prophetic exactness is concerned must
take a second place. Without dating the second coming of the Lord, the Great Pyramid
makes it very plain that it cannot be later than 16th September, 1936. If the Lord has not
come by 16th September, 1936, what will the Pyramid believers do if Antichrist should
appear? Will they not be forced to accept him?
We do know that the Egyptian Book of the Dead has much to say of Pyramid
symbolism. Osiris is called "The Lord of the Pyramid", and "The Lord of death and
resurrection". Ancient Egyptian religion is Messianic in character. So was ancient
Babylonianism. As surely as God recorded the coming of the Seed of the woman, so did
Babel travesty that truth and fill the earth with its prophecies and its symbols.
We have already referred to Anglo-Israelism. According to Pyramid chronology the
times of the Gentiles ended in 1917, the stone kingdom, namely kingdom, Britain,
holding the mandate over Jerusalem now being not a Gentile power, but, unknown to the
Jews, really Israel. The Pyramid prophecies really bolster up Anglo-Israelism, and so
from two points of view should be left alone by all those who believe that in the written
Scriptures we have all the revelation of God's purpose that we may legitimately expect
until that day when we shall know even as we are known.
