ISRAEL, GOD'S ORACLE PEOPLE

Chapter 15
THE PYRAMID OF GIZA

Brother John G. Gassaway

Isaiah 19:19: 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.

Before I move on there is some groundwork I would like to propose so that my later interpretations and their basis are understood.

The first lines of the scripture above speak of what could only be the Pyramid of Giza. I will also be using the Pyramid of Giza for establishing a time line for the later kings of Judah from Josiah to Zedekiah. I am inserting this in this month instead of the planned, "FIGURING THE YEARS". Without it, I would have to depend on numbers that cover the board and none can be justified without some solid proof. The proof is in the pyramid of Giza. I also will be referencing Emanuel Velikovsky at times and the main contribution he has made to understanding the chaotic times of the prophets from Isaiah to Nehemiah. That will be in the following month's installment.

Notwithstanding the claim by the Jehovah's Witnesses that it is an evil building, Isaiah clearly speaks of the pyramid in Isaiah 19:19-20 and states it will be there for a "sign and witness unto the Lord in our days". Isaiah states it will be in "that day." Clearly everything that precedes that statement and follows it has never occurred and must be future, so this altar or pillar (monument) must be for this generation and ones to come. While Julian dates are used in the pyramid, the other architectural features point towards our days with a year length of 365.2422 days and not 363.25 days as the Julian calendar used.

The pyramids encoding of dates on the various floor lines were of little use in an imprecise age prior to modern times with lasers, advanced surveying instruments, global positioning satellites and such. Ancient Egypt was divided into upper and lower portions, and the dividing point was exactly at the parallel of the Pyramid of Giza. There were at various times, two pharaohs, one for the north and one for the south. Sometimes they would be one ruling over both. I suspect that at least part of the explanation of Exodus 1:8 and the "new king" who did not know Joseph was a pharaoh rising up over the southern half who disliked the Semitic rulers of the north and turned on them, including large numbers of descendants of Zerah. This is when Chalcol and Darda escaped along with the Milesian dynasties of Spain and Ireland fled Egypt.

Thus any structure, "altar" or "pillar" on this north-south line would indeed be in the midst, yet at the border of Egypt. The only such monument present today in Egypt is the Pyramid of Giza.

Within the pyramid are passageways that when measured and symbolically studied show an exact date of the Exodus in dimensions that can only have meaning when considering year lengths of 365.2422 days. That was in anticipation of the modern day as Isaiah states the pyramid would be sign in later days. The clue to this is found in the upper passageway where an "out of place" leaflet of stone protrudes from the wall of the so-called map room. It terminates in a small, very precise thin section, that measures exactly 50/1000th of an inch more than the British inch. Also the perimeter of the great monument is exactly 365.2422 sacred cubits (25 of these units of measure). If there is any question as to whether that is coincidence, the slight inward deviation of the sides towards the middle of a side with then a short flat section and then angling out to the other corner. From this geometry we get two other measurements, give the sidereal and anomalistic year length, 365.256 and 365.259. Even the height compared to the base circumference is exactly two times 3.14159, the value of pi. The monument is a replica of a half sphere! IT ALSO GIVES THE EXACT DATE OF THE BIRTH OF CHRIST! You can trust me on this: the date of the crucifixion is given in the pyramid as April 1, 33 AD, Julian, a real irony in light of our tradition of April fool jokes. Jesus was NO APRIL FOOL JOKE. I have previously shown the same dates for the birth and crucifixion and this indeed was the Julian date of the crucifixion using the calendar of the times. I previously used Luke 3 and Luke 1, worked back from the death of Caesar Augustus in 14 AD and came to a conclusion of September 28th, 2 BC. The Pyramid gives the date September 27th, 2BC! That is within one day of agreement.

The first passageway is at a downward angle entering from the north and that passageway lines up with only one star, Thuben in Draconis (the dragon star constellation) in the year 2141 BC. Due to the slight "wobble" of the earth on its axis there is a procession through pole stars, also known as the precession of the equinoxes over about 25,800 year. The pole star now is Polaris. All other pyramids have much writing (cartouches) in them to identify them with one or more pharaohs. Traveling down this passageway there are no markings of famous Pharaohs or cartouches but only one single vertical line 481.7457 inches past the entrance point to the descending passageway, which lines up with one star in our galaxy in the year 2141 BC. That star is Alcione in the constellation, Pleiades. The date of precise alignment of Thuben and Alcione is the spring equinox of 2141 BC. That is Not when the pyramid was built. Applying the inch to a year to the distance 481.7457 would give 2623 BC but that is no indication of the building date. The date 2623 BC is in the general time of Khufu but Khufu himself stated the pyramid was already there when he reigned. No one knows for sure when it was built. All subsequent dating in the pyramid follows the date of the scored line. It is such a huge structure that dates can be obtained down to exact days with modern-day surveying equipment.

The capstone is missing and no one has any idea of whether it was ever made. The missing capstone has Biblical relevance as Jesus stated, He was the "cornerstone that the builders rejected." Everything about the pyramid's construction leads to a conclusion that they NEVER PLANNED to place a capstone on it and in the area of spiritual interpretations of the pyramid, the missing capstone indicates that the capstone would only be placed by the coming Messiah in a perfect age. The only structure with a single cornerstone is a pyramid, that being the capstone. There are four corners to a square or cube shaped structure.

It is proposed that a capstone had been made for the pyramid but was too large and was "rejected" by the builders. When the foundation "sockets" are inspected, they are for a slightly larger structure that would have taken a large capstone. The plans were for a perfect world representation before Adam fell. As result of the changes, you find that the entrance way on the north side is displaced from the center line of the pyramid making all of the passageways deviated from the ideal. This deviation factor is 286.1 inches, a measurement that shows up again and again. I believe Jesus was referring to the pyramid of Giza here and stating that a larger pyramid would represent a perfect world of Jesus Christ and that He was that capstone. The pyramid would undergo a rebuilding to its original perfect dimensions upon the return of Christ, including a capstone.

Modern Egyptologists give credit to the Pharaoh Cheops or Khufu. This pharaoh only ruled for twenty years and he in his own stele, found by archaeologists and dated scientifically to the era of Khufu, stated he only added the surrounding features of a second smaller pyramid and other monuments to his Queen. The stele states that the Pyramid was there when he began his reign and even in those days it was associated with a document known as "THE BOOK OF THE DEAD," which referred to the pyramid as the pyramid of Enoch. I feel certain that either Enoch oversaw its construction or gave the plans to Noah and it was built later to those specifications. Whoever built it had to have the help of supernatural beings to move the 70 to 100 ton blocks into such precise alignment. No matter how many slaves a pharaoh could muster, they could not have moved these huge stones such distances, sometimes hundreds of miles, lifted them into place with primitive devices that you are shown on educational TV. It is my opinion from scripture that God STOPPED "creating" earthly objects after the sixth day of Genesis so this pyramid had to be constructed. Enoch would have had access to some powerful beings, the angels, if he walked and talked with God. The apocryphal Book of Enoch describes those angels and even gives them names.

There are too many dates which are accurate to the day to have been done by anyone who
had not had Divine instruction as Enoch had. (Enoch walked and talked to God; and was no more for God took him.)
Genesis 5:23: and all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years: 24 And Enoch walked with God: and he [was] not; for God took him.
Hebrews 11:5: By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

We also can attribute the names of the stars to Enoch for the names we have of them in Arabic go far beyond the earliest known times of the Akkadians.

So! Why the buzz about Khufu? There are markings in one building or construction chamber at the very top of the pyramid, never before seen until Howard Vise opened this chamber in the middle of the night out of site of any witnesses. When he got through with his planned forgery there were cartouches of what at first was thought to be Khufu but only the most stubborn Egyptologists and foolish teachers continue the myth that Khufu built it. Vise even "misspelled" the name in his cartouche! The cartouches are proven forgeries of Howard Vice, an unscrupulous explorer from a wealthy family in England looking to make a mark for himself in history. The Egyptologists accept the real fraud and reject the real proof that Khufu never built it. [STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN; Zechariah Sitchin].

The opening of the first passageway with its vertical mark pointing to the date 2141 BC is a long rectangular passageway leading to a pit with all the attributes of hell. The pit at the bottom had practical significance in the alignment of the pyramid in a perfect northerly direction. If the "engineers" had placed water in the "pit" and began to build out of it, Thuben would have been reflected off the water surface and even today, if you descend this passageway to the bottom, stars show up through the entrance even in mid day! This shaft is aligned perfectly with the North Star in the year 2141 BC, Thuben in the Dragon Constellation, a sign of evil, which was the case before the flood. It is there only to show the downward fall of man without the miracle of God's intervention, which is shown in a striking manner in the various upper passageways and a well shaft.

I will move to an ascending passageway found along this course of the descending one and describe it and its significance. It does go upward, which in the pyramid always seems to indicate a move towards good. This passageway is low and cramped (just as Israel's experience under the Law) and for some reason it is plugged with a granite plug that could not be opened in the 19th century (as it was) without explosives that would destroy the pyramid. The significance of the plug is that it took a miracle to bring the Israelites out of Egypt and it would take another miracle to get them out from under the law, the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. No one knew the passageway was there behind this granite plug until Arabs in the 9th century AD, wondering what was behind the granite plug, dug through the less dense limestone around it to find the somewhat cramped space, which led upwards into the midst of the pyramid. They thought they would surely find great treasure at the top but there was nothing but space and the features I will describe. There was NO body ever in the pyramid. It was not a burial monument for Khufu! At a point in this passageway it suddenly opens up to a huge 286 inches high, "Grand Gallery". There is slight forward inclination of the 286nch entrance wall and if a plumb line is dropped from the first opening into this "Grand Gallery" the date on the floor, using the spring equinox, 1453 BC beginning point is September 27, 2 BC, the birth of Christ. If a line dropped from the 286 inch high and slightly forwardly inclined ceiling to the floor, that date is April 1, 33 AD, the crucifixion of Christ. (All Julian dates) Because of its immense size, these specific dates can be obtained with precise surveying equipment (only available to modern man). I have shown the 28th of September 2 BC for the birth of Christ and the crucifixion on April 1, 33 AD. The Grand Gallery continues upward on the same angle to a point where it levels off suddenly at what is called the "great step" at the date of September 23rd, 1845, a step which is 36" and much too high to climb normally.

The significance of this step is too much to discuss right now but in part it represents a step of great progression of some sorts. This was the time when archaeology began to reveal the Lost Tribes and also the beginning of the industrial revolution, the revolution of the USA to create this nation culminating in 1845 with the end of the Napoleonic wars and the end of empirical rule in France, the railroad explosion, steam-engine, the telegraph, and rapid development in all areas of science and mathematics, James Clerk Maxwell's equations that led to the explosion in electromagnetic field and more and more. Another point to note in the step is that it is upward, meaning a positive influence to the Gentile Church and peoples of the Gentile nations. Truly it was a time of great progress involving God's great blessings on our nation through science, mathematics, archaeology and biology.

Moving forward onto a level floor, you enter a chamber that has a number of interesting features pointing towards the number 360, the degrees in a circle. It also is a way of drawing Enoch's timeline. You and I would draw a straight line with a beginning and an ending to represent our lives. Enoch had no end to his life as he was "raptured" in the same way that Elijah was and the Church will at the end of this era. A beginning with no end would be a circle! It is in this room, the antechamber or "map room" where the inch to a year scale feature is found that I described above. This is the unit by which all measurements on the inside and outside can be obtained. Twenty-five of these units are the Sacred Cubit, the measurements that show up in the exterior of the pyramid. I might ask a pertinent question at this point. Can you tell me where the British inch came from? Was it an ancient unit of measurement brought from Egypt either by Moses or perhaps Jeremiah? I gave some of the important interior and exterior measurements above but there are many others, including the number for Phi, the ratio seen in natural biological processes as well as appealing art and architecture.

The years of Apostle Paul's ministry are given associated with a new passageway on a horizontal plane (no upward movement - not good) that leaves the Grand Gallery coinciding with the rejection of the Jews of Paul's teachings and Jesus Christ. The dating is from 46 to 58 AD. [Acts 28]. Features of the horizontal passageway give the beginning of WW I (June 22nd, 1914; assassination of Archduke Ferdinand June 28, 1914), the years of Adolph Hitler and the Third Reich are shown, November 1933 and August 1944. November 33 AD was also the height of the Great Depression. At the end of the upper passageway, the space opens up into a very large chamber named the King's Chamber, with all the attributes of the end of this era. A turn to the right along a center line on the floor will lead to an open coffer or sarcophagus which is empty (never contained a body) and is perfectly aligned on what would be the centerline of the pyramid if it were built to its original intended size. What does it mean? Perhaps it gives the final message in the pyramid, the resurrection of the saved as described in Revelation 20:5. I won't even attempt to give dates here. Many experts have had their tries and have failed. The timeline on the floor of the horizontal passageway appears to change as it is made of granite instead of the limestone found elsewhere. The Great Step is thought by some to represent a transition to a new time line (Rutherford). The pyramid is here like many aspects of prophecy in the Bible. It is a big "I told you so" statement. The remaining mysteries of the pillar and altar will be known in God's time.

In the descending passageway leading to the pit (hell) are features marking the Reformation (The ceiling is "punched in" as though trying to escape the downward path.). It tells the story of the Reformation. The Church was reformed but not to its perfection. It raised some but then returned to the old downward path of works and Law after the short period of reformation. The second feature in this downward passageway after it becomes horizontal is a curious well shaft that opens into this passageway to hell and the shaft goes up to a grotto (Jesus Christ's grave) in the midst of the pyramid and then explodes into the Grand Gallery right at the point of the resurrection. Though it was a practical feature to allow fresh air into the lower parts of the descending passage for the workers, it also has symbolic meaning. It symbolizes all of what the Apostle's Creed professes. Jesus did go into the grace (grotto). He descended into hell and preached to the captives ("led captivity captive" – Isaiah 61:1; 42:7; Luke 4:18; 1st Peter 3:19). He then rose on the third day (like an explosion) from the tomb into the Grand Gallery, which is the upward path of the Gentile Church. I have alluded to the first horizontal passageway leading to a large chamber known as the Queen's Chamber. It begins the path of the Jews in 44 to 58 AD with several changes in the floor line and ends in the Queen's Chamber. It marks the way of legalism including the Jew.

The accuracy of the pyramid speaks for itself. The pyramid without doubt is that monument that Isaiah describes in chapter 19. It lays out the history of man and the Church beginning with the Exodus of 1453 BC. It will also give a starting point for the Jubilee years of Israel and the exact timing of Josiah's 18th year.
