THE BIBLE IN STONES

The Holy Bible reveals God’s great redemptive plan through various and wondrous means, including the stars, the divinely inspired written Word in books, and even through profound architectural marvels such as the Great Pyramid of Giza. Throughout Holy Scripture, our God consistently communicates His eternal truth, ensuring that His message is accessible to all who have eyes to see and ears to hear, even when presented in different forms like this mighty Pyramid. As the prophet Jeremiah declared in Jeremiah 32:20, God has “set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even unto this day,” and the Great Pyramid stands as one of those enduring, powerful signs, a silent yet eloquent testament to God’s eternal wisdom and foreknowledge.

The Bible, first and foremost, is the Book of Life, the Book of Redemption for all humanity, faithfully guiding us through the entire history of God’s plan of salvation. It meticulously narrates how God redeems His chosen people across the ages, from the tragic fall of Adam in the Garden of Eden to the gathering of the end-time saints, His Bride. It serves as the divine Title Deed to the glorious inheritance that Adam’s race forfeited through sin. Through its sacred pages, we come to understand how God will ultimately judge the world through our Lord Jesus Christ and how He grants eternal life to the saved, while the lost, tragically, face eternal separation from His presence.

This same sacred story of redemption is also symbolically and powerfully represented in the very structure of the Great Pyramid. Its famously missing capstone, for instance, prophetically represents Christ, the rejected Messiah of Israel, and also His end-time Bride, who will be brought under His complete pre-eminence, thus fulfilling the glorious manifestation of the sons of God. Just as the Pyramid’s empty coffer in the King’s Chamber signifies His triumphant resurrection, its intricate chambers and mysterious passageways narrate a redemptive story that has mystified secular scholars for centuries but is clear to those with spiritual understanding.

The Bible itself points to us the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt as a significant witness of God’s eternal purposes. Isaiah 19:19-20 states:

“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: for they shall cry unto the Lord because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall deliver them.”

The Great Pyramid, remarkably situated at what was once considered the geographical center of Lower Egypt and at the border of Upper Egypt, serves symbolically as both a pillar and an altar—a lasting monument that testifies to God’s presence, His intricate plan, and His redemptive work throughout the ages.

Standing as a silent, towering witness in the land of Egypt, the Great Pyramid of Giza holds profound spiritual meaning. Built according to exacting specifications that clearly reflect divine wisdom and not mere human ingenuity, its design remarkably parallels foundational biblical truths and God’s overarching redemptive plan.

1. The Missing Capstone
The capstone, which is the final stone that completes and perfects the structure, represents Christ Jesus—the chief cornerstone (Psalm 118:22) whom the builders (Israel) rejected. This significant missing element powerfully highlights how Christ, in His first coming, was indeed rejected by the nation of Israel. But in His glorious second coming, He will return as the Head of the Church, the true Capstone, perfectly completing the spiritual structure of the Body of Christ.

2. The Open Coffer
Found within the King’s Chamber, the coffer is empty, strikingly signifying that Christ has risen. He has conquered death, hell, and the grave, and has left the tomb empty, thereby pointing to the believer’s own future glorification and resurrection in Christ.

3. The Ascending and Descending Passages
The Pyramid’s intricate network of passageways represents humanity’s spiritual journey in relation to God’s plan of redemption. The Ascending Passage symbolically portrays the path of the righteous, those who have been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb and are on their way to the King’s Chamber, which itself represents the Holy of Holies, the very presence of Almighty God.

4. The Grand Gallery
This long, impressive, upward-sloping passage beautifully symbolizes the Church Ages and the progressive unfolding of the sevenfold Spirit of God throughout these ages. It is within this symbolic space that God’s divine plan unfolds through history, leading believers towards the final revelation and their ultimate, glorious reunion with Christ.

If you will also read Revelation 21 which speaks about the Holy City, New Jerusalem, you will find that its dimension is a Pyramid. The Great Pyramid of Giza therefore symbolizes the Bride of Christ, which is the Holy City, New Jerusalem.

The Great Pyramid is a truly profound example of how God chooses to communicate His eternal truth through His creation. It is understood by many with prophetic insight that it was designed, not by Egyptians alone, but under divine inspiration, probably by the prophet of God like Enoch at that time. It stands as a prophetic marker, a Bible in stone, detailing God’s redemptive timeline. When Brother William M. Branham, a messenger to this age, spoke of the Seven Seals and the unfolding of God’s deep mysteries, he often referenced the Great Pyramid’s symbolism. The Seven Seals, revealed to Brother Branham by the Lord, were not just written mysteries hidden in the Word, but were also symbolically prefigured in the Pyramid’s very construction.

1. The Seven Church Ages
The Pyramid’s construction, with its distinct layers or courses of stone, is seen by many to symbolize the seven distinct Church Ages. As the saints of each Church Age are called out and built into the spiritual temple of God, they progressively ascend toward the ultimate capstone—Christ, Who is the Fullness of the Word.

2. The Seven Seals and Seven Thunders
Brother Branham’s ministry was, in part, to restore the apostolic faith and to introduce the message pertaining to the second coming of Christ through the divine revelation of the Seven Seals. He explained how the mysterious Seven Thunders (Revelation 10:3-4) were linked to the unwritten Word—those deep mysteries of God not fully revealed until the very end times, mysteries that bring the Bride to full maturity.

The Great Pyramid, in its remarkable design, aligns perfectly with the redemptive work of our Lord Jesus Christ, from His first advent to His glorious second coming. Through its deeply symbolic architecture, the Pyramid silently speaks of:

1. Salvation
The Great Pyramid’s various passages are understood to represent the different stages of God’s plan of salvation, from justification by faith, through sanctification by the Spirit, and ultimately, to the glorification of the believer with an immortal body. I encouraged you to study them.

2. Judgment
Its Descending Passage, leading down to the Bottomless Pit or Subterranean Chamber, serves as a solemn reminder of the judgment that awaits the unrepentant and unbelieving world. Yet, God’s amazing grace is powerfully displayed in the Ascending Passage, which offers a way of escape and ascent into His presence for those who accept His provision.

3. Completion in Christ
The missing capstone, as mentioned, awaits the glorious appearing of Christ, Who alone will complete the entire work of redemption by uniting His perfected Bride with Himself, making the Headstone and the Body one complete, glorified pyramid.

God’s magnificent message of redemption is perfectly consistent across all His varied forms of revelation—whether written in the stars of the heavens (Psalm 19:1-4), divinely inscribed in the written books (the Holy Bible), or architecturally embodied in the Great Pyramid of Giza.

As the Bible in stone, the Great Pyramid stands as an enduring, powerful testimony to God’s intricate and infallible plan of salvation. It echoes the timeless message of the Book of Life, guiding humanity toward the ultimate goal of perfect union with Christ Jesus. The Pyramid’s profound symbolism speaks not only of God’s work in the past but also prophetically points to the glorious future awaiting the Bride of Christ, who will soon be united with her heavenly Bridegroom in the final, grand consummation of all things. Amen.
