The Great Pyramid of Giza

WHATEVER happened to the proposed laying of the golden capstone upon the top of the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, during last year’s millennial celebrations? It just did not happen - but why? Possibly for the following reasons, which I will outline briefly.

Firstly, many people would now accept that, strictly speaking, the ‘millennium’ (according to scientific reckoning, rather than popular reckoning) started on the first of January 2001, and not on the first of January 2000. The year 2000 was not, in fact, the start of the 21st century, but the last year of the 20th.

I would like to suggest that neither view is strictly true or accurate, and that, actually, the true millennium will start sometime during the week of September 17th to 22nd, or thereabouts, coinciding with the Jewish/Hebrew New Year. Rosh Hoshannah, or New Year’s Day this year, being on Tuesday 18th September, in the year 5762, according to their reckoning.

As our western calendar is based upon Christian presuppositions (i.e. BC being before Christ, and AD, or Anno Domini, meaning the ‘Year of Our Lord’), it is worth considering whether Christianity or the Bible can shed any light on this. According to a very influential aspect of prophetic Christianity, it has been commonly believed that world history lasts for a period of six thousand years, to be followed by a thousand-year millennium of peace (Revelation 20: 1-6). This prophetic typology we find clearly reflected in our week. We have six working days, followed by a day of rest, a type of Sabbath, be it on Saturday or Sunday. Likewise, according to biblical prophetic chronology, from the creation and fall of Adam to the Second Advent of the new Adam, Christ, we have a six-day week of world history, i.e. six thousand years, to be followed by a seventh-day millennial Sabbath, lasting a thousand years, completing the Great Week of seven millennial days, or 7000 years (II Peter 3:8) [1].

So what has this to do with the Great Pyramid, one may ask? According to many sources, the Great Pyramid is believed to be a prophetic time-clock, or a bible in stone, which has contained within its geometric structure many cryptic allusions to events which are contained within the bible, when read chronologically.

Scriptures in the bible which appear to have direct reference to the Great Pyramid are: in the Old Testament, Psalm 118:22, Zachariah 4: 7-10 and Isaiah 19: 19-20; in the New Testament, Matthew 21:42.

If we take a literal reading of bible chronology, Adam’s creation or fall (please note that Adam is a gender-inclusive term, as we see from Genesis 5:2 KJV) was approximately 3996 years before the birth of Christ, which, interestingly, works out at 6 x 666, the number of fallen or imperfect humanity. Adam was created on the sixth day.

Some commentators of Pyramid prophecy date the commencement of the Adamic cycle as starting from 3999 years, approximately 3 years later than 3996. The fall could have been, maybe, three and a half years later. Three and a half is the number of imperfection, being half of seven, which is the number of perfection or completion. In prophecy, a time, times and half a time, is calculated as 42 months. This is the time period that the final manifestation of Antichrist is said to reign on earth (Revelation 13:5) [2].

If then, we start from the figure of 3996 (6 x 666) and then add on the four BC years (4 BC being the most commonly accepted date for the birth of Christ), by both theologians and historians), we reach a total of 4000 years or 3996 + 4. Bearing in mind that the Jewish New Year starts in September, and not in January, as our calendar does, it is significant that within both Judaism and Christianity, Adam’s creation was approximately about the time of the Autumn Equinox, or in about 4000 BC. This is the start of the agricultural year, whilst the religious festival year commenced around Springtime. When counting prophetic years, we need to bear this in mind, so that we count from September to September, not from January to January. Incidentally, September is the seventh month in the biblical calendar year.

It is possible that the four seasons of the year represent the above, but in a slightly different order, Spring representing the creation of Adam, Summer in his pre-fall Edenic experience, before the fall in Autumn, and the dark Winter of sin.

If we take Christ’s birth as being in or near September 3996, and then add three and a quarter years, to round it off neatly as 4000 years, then add our 2001 AD years, plus nine months, we arrive at a total of 6001 years from the creation and fall of Adamic humanity and the beginning of the true millennium of the new age. You must take into account that there is no year 0 (zero), so 6001 is the true mathematical new year of the true millennium! [3]

At this point, some may be asking or wondering ‘Yes, that is all very well, but how is it that the Jewish calendar referred to, dates this coming New Year in September 2001 as 5672, 238 years short of 6000 years?’

The reason for this discrepancy is that firstly, the popular Jewish calendar reckoning is based upon a polemical Talmudic tradition (i.e. a Rabbinical text entitled the ‘Sedar Olam’), which was based on Daniel’s prophecy of the 70 weeks (Daniel 9: 25-7). The Jews made this prophecy relate chronologically to the destruction of the Temple in opposition to the Christian interpretation, which related to the ministry and crucifixion of Jesus.

Secondly, the Jewish calendar can be read as starting from the birth of Enosh, Adam’s grandchild. When counted from the creation of Adam, this brings us to a total of 235 years (Genesis 5: 3-6). If we add these 235 years on to 5762, we arrive at September 2001, or on the Jewish calendar you have a total of 5997 years. If we then add the 4 years BC (bearing in mind that Judaism does not recognise the 4 BC years!), we finally reach the 6001 figure, the end of the six-thousand-year cycle of world history!

This now brings us back to the prophetic significance of the laying of the golden capstone upon the Great Pyramid of Giza. It could be that this act did not take place on 31st December 1999, at the stroke of midnight, because the prophetic significance of the event was not right chronologically. In this case, it means that it is an event which is still being planned and prepared for the future, perhaps even sometime during the year September 2001/2002!

Maybe such an event would mark the advent of a significant Middle-Eastern peace deal, or even more cryptically, to announce the official inauguration or birth of the ‘new order of the ages’, or the new world order. The American dollar bill contains this symbolism. On this, the pyramid with the All-Seeing Eye has its capstone missing. Instead, it hovers above, as if to suggest that, when it is finally laid on top of the pyramid, the plan or ‘Great Work of the Ages’ will finally be completed.

It is possible that the symbolism behind such an event would carry with it both a negative and positive meaning. It could be positive in that its purest expression, the shape of the pyramid represents humanity’s ascension towards the Godhead, enlightenment and spirituality, but it could be negative as regards forces and influences upon the planet which attempt to invert the sacred geometric symbolism of the pyramid, and counterfeit the positive side, in order to mask the hellbound drive towards tyranny, darkness and materialism (that is, either the Second Coming of Christ or the coming into the world of an anti-Messiah/Antichrist, or perhaps both!)[4].

What is also of interest here, is the pyramid’s alleged correspondence and original star-alignment with the Alpha Draconis constellation, which was the polestar during the third millennium BC. It was also known as the Dragon Star, and in ancient times was universally associated with evil and spiritual death. Perhaps here we find an echo of the biblical fall of Lucifer into Satan. Lucifer was originally an enlightened being who transmitted the ‘serpent wisdom’ to pre-Adamic humanity, and he was thus known as the Light Bearer’, ‘The Shining One’, or ‘The Bright Morning Star’ (see Isaiah 14: 12-15, Ezekiel 28: 12-15).

As the pole star was situated in the northern hemisphere, perhaps this was the site for the mythological Atlantis, before a cataclysmic destruction involving a complete reversal of the poles. This would have instigated its downfall, Atlantis now, perhaps, being buried under Antarctica (please refer to Colin Wilson’s ‘The Atlantic Blueprint’, 2000). The bible represents this event as divine judgement on the rebellion of Lucifer, and his subsequent fall into the being now known as Satan, the Adversary. Interestingly, it is widely speculated and believed that Freemasonry venerates Lucifer in his unfallen state, and not Satan, his fallen aspect. It is important to distinguish the two forms or identities. It could be, then, that Freemasonry in its darker aspect, has as its ultimate aim the restoration of Lucifer’s light-bearing pre-Adamic reign upon earth as guardian of the ancient ‘serpent’ or ‘dragon wisdom’ (please refer to Genesis 1:2-28 KJV and Isaiah 45:18, Jeremiah 4:23-26, II Peter 3:5-6).

According to some interpretations of the bible, there were, in fact, two floods, one in judgement upon Lucifer and the pre-Adamic creation, symbolised by the Atlantis myths, and the later Noah’s Flood, which was post-Adamic and could have been only localised.

Whatever the reader may think about the ideas presented here, the writer would conclude by suggesting that it would be best to keep an open-mind and watch for the period specified in this article, that is, September 17th to 22nd 2001, as something very significant may be going to happen! Until then, though, and hopefully for some time afterwards, do justly, love mercy and walk humbly with your God (Micah 6:8).

Appendix I

Some bible commentators have contested the ‘textus receptus’ of the King James authorised version of the bible, based on the earlier Masoretic Hebrew text, suggesting (with some evidence from the early church fathers), that it has been corrupted by the Jewish/Talmudic polemic, i.e. that in the early centuries of Christian dispensation, Jewish rabbis interpolated the genealogies of the early patriarchs in Genesis by reducing their ages by 100 years in almost every case, with the intention being to hide the fact that Christ had come in the ‘sixth day’, or 6000-year period of the Adamic race. This was the exact time that the Jews expected the Messiah to appear (please refer to the Greek Septuagint text, which some believe, still preserves the authentic and uncorrupted Old Testament Hebrew text). If this is true, while it may cast some doubt on the integrity of the authorised King James version, the author would still contest that the basic principles of prophetic bible chronology in respect of the concept of a ‘Great Week’ of seven millennia is still valid as the ‘date of commencement’ of the Great Week and could have been with some later patriarch than Adam (possibly Lamech, father of Noah, etc.).

Appendix II

According to the Book of Jubilees, Adam was in the Garden of Eden for a period of seven years before the Fall, so if we accept this at face value, we could speculate that the seven-day creation story of Genesis 1:1-31, 2:1-3 covers a period of 42 years in total (each day of creation representing a period of seven years), and as Adamic humanity was created on the sixth day (6 x 7 + 42), Adam then lived for seven years before the Fall (maybe Eve was created later than Adam, being taken from his rib 42 months or three and a half years later, maybe the mid-point of this six-day creation period of seven years). Adam was then judged and cast out of the garden at the end of a Jubilee period of time, that was 49 or 50 years. By chapter 4 of Genesis, we arrive at the start of another Jubilee period, if this is true, is history a total period of 42 (the number of imperfection) x the Jubilee 50? In Matthew’s Gospel there are 42 generations from Abraham to Christ (Matthew 1:1-17). If redemptive history is a period of 42 x 50 years we arrive at a figure of 6,100. If this alternative chronology is correct, maybe Christ’s return could be on the eighth day (8 being the number of Christ), leading to Judgement Day (the Great White Throne), commencing on the ninth day (the number of Judgement), before the final era of the New Heaven and the New Earth, beginning on the tenth ‘day’ from Creation (10 is the number of completion). Whatever the case, Maranatha Come Lord Jesus!

Notes:

1. If we take a ‘Jubilee period’, which is 50 years, then calculate this by 40 years, which, according to scripture, is generally regarded as a ‘generation’, i.e. 50 x 40 = 200 years, which multiplied by 40 generations, equals 6000! [Back]
2. It is worth noting here that the author does not subscribe to the school of prophecy known as ‘dispensationalism’ (which is unscriptural, and in error on several counts, which space will not permit going into now), but rather the British historicist-Israelite tradition of Protestant prophetic thought, which teaches quite clearly that we are now in the last generation that ‘will not pass until all is fulfilled’ (Luke 21:32). This started in 1917, when Jerusalem was liberated by the British from Turkish rule. Nevertheless, the author does accept the cyclical theory of prophecy, which contends that for every prophecy there can be two or three real historical fulfilments; so this means that the final and future time of ‘Jacob’s trouble’ or the ‘Great Tribulation’ is not out of the question. This cyclical theory of prophecy is sometimes referred to as harmonicist. [Back]
3. Although, according to some sources, the calendar reckoning from BC to AD did not recognise the year zero, which mathematically it should, perhaps, have done. It simply went from BC 1 to 1 AD , missing a year, which would mean that the year 2001 would be the year 6000. With this in mind, perhaps we should state that the year of prophetic significance would run from September 2001 to September 2002. Interestingly, this year marks the Jubilee year of the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. It could be a year of significance to the royal throne of Judah. [Back]
4. According to the writer, Moira Timms, author of ‘Propecies to Take You Into the Twenty-First Century’ (Thorsons, 1996), on the date on 17th September 2001, and according to the principles of ‘sideal astrology’, which interprets the star systems by their placements astronomically rather than symbolically, the sun and moon will conjoin on the Leo and Virgo cusp, directly above the figure of the Sphinx, which geometrically accomplishes the pyramid formation. The Sphinx is a symbol which illustrates Leo the lion (being half-lion) and Virgo the virgin (being half-human in appearance). Leo represents the lion of Judah, which is Christ Jesus, who was born of Virgo, the Virgin Mary, that is, Godhead incarnating with humanity. Another point of interest is that when hieroglyphs of sun and moon are placed together in Egyptian symbology they always represent the concept of ‘eon’, or millennium! Perhaps this could be further information that we are about to enet the true dawning of the new age (the Age of Aquarius, the water-carrier, or the Holy Spirit). The true new age is the seventh-day millennial Sabbath reign of Christ (Psalm 19:1-5). [Back]
