HI REA
AGAIN.

& IA 4%N ~ w 49, -4ANS0
in Good News a couple Of articles
about the Great Pyramid Of
Gizeh in Egypt, showing that it
is of divine origin and contains
a complete Symbolic history Of
the human race from beginning
to end. I showed how the Pyra-
mid marks off the dispensations
of time and gives the actual
dates of all important events,
both past and future. / pointed
out how the testimony of the
Pyramid agrees exactly with
Bible prophecy, and how it
proves beyond all doubt that the
appointed Times of the Gen
tiles" $3.50 years. have al
ready run out, and that we are
right now changing from one
dispensation to another.
Well, I never did, see such a
sensation as those two articles
created among my readers. It
was an entirely new idea to most
of them, and of course some
didn't believe there was any
thing to it. But many others
were seriously interested and
wanted to learn more.
So / have decided to take up
the Great Pyramid subject again
and give all the facts in the
plainest and simplest way pos
sible, so as to convince all read
ers that there really is some
thing to it.
| shall not write this first ar
|ticle for the reader who has
already made a start in Pyramid
study, but for the reader to
whom it is a new and unheard-
of subject. And that will in
Eclude nearly everybody. Then
hin next issue I will follow it up
with another article going more
into detail and bringing out the
great prophetical truths reveal
ed in this wonderful structure.
Tell everybody about this new
series of Pyramid articles and
urge them to subscribe and get
the whole thing complete. And
this is only one Of the many good
things they will get.
Il suppose nearly every person
has read or heard something
about the Pyramids of Egypt.
I suppose it is generally under
stood that they are built Of
stone, starting from a large
square base and running to a
point at the top. But very little
is known about the size and i'm
portance of these stone struc-
lures. No distinction is usually
made among them-one being
considered about as important
as another. But such is not the
case. There is just one original
Great Pyramid, and all the
others are, cheap limitations of it.
Whether they were built before
it or after it does not matter.
The point is that they are vastly
inferior to it in every way.
And so this Great Pyramid
that we want to study stands
at a place called Gizeh, in Egypt.
and it is therefore called the
Good news. [volume] (Boomer, N.C.) 1917-1919, 1918-11-01
November, 1918

CVC1y reason
to believe that it was built on
cording to a divine plan and N
der the direction of God himself
The plain purpose of it vas To
make a permanent stone witness
testyfylng to the truth of the
Bible and making doubly sure
the scripture outline of the d.
vine Plan.
A peculiar thing about the
Great Pyramid is the fact that
it is located at the center of
Egypt and also at the edge of
Egypt. You can't understand
how that could be unless you pet
a map and look at the shape Of
Egypt and then see how the
Pyramid is located in it. You
will find a reference to it in the
10Th chapter Of Isaiah, verses
10 and 20, as follows:
In that day shall there be an altar
" Vic dOlo III CilS LuIuSC VI 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 in the land of Egypt.-Isa.
19:19-20.
And here is another scripture
reference to the Pyramid. The
language could not possibly
refer to anything else:
The Mighty God, the Lord of
hosts is His name, who has set signs
and wonders in the land Of Egypt,
even unto this day.-Jer. 32:19-20.
The land of Egypt is almost
an exact quarter-circle. In
other words, if you had three
more just like it, you could fit
them around together and make
a perfect wheel. And the four
sharp corners Of those four
quarter-circles would all be right
together in the middle, where
the hub of the wheel would be.
Well, right there is where the
Great Pyramid stands, and so
it can truly be said that it is in
the midst of the land of Egypt
and at the same time at the
border thereof.
In addition to all the rest, this
very point is said to be in the
exact center of the land surface
of the whole world. The selec-
ton of such q location could not
have been a mere accident. It
must have been the result OF dl-
vine wisdom.
In my next article | will take
Iup the size, shape and peculiar
construction of the Pyramid,
telling about the strange sloplng
passage-Ways in it, and the little
rooms into which the passages
lead. I will show you how it has
been fully proven that each inch
in the measurement along these
passages means a year OF tI1ne'
and how the Pyramid therefore
becomes a diagram showing the
length of the different Ages. It
is a fact that these Pyramid
measurements did actually pre-.
dict a great turning-point OF
Isome sort to start in 1914, ana
