God signifies His
Truth consistently in different media so even a fool should not err therein. He
displayed It first in the stars, erected It as the Great Pyramid, then wrote It
in paper and ink we call the Bible (Have Not I sent Thee? 62-0124; Paradox,
64-0418B). In our today lesson we'll speak on many things but our topic will be
the Great Pyramid at Giza.
Our text is Jeremiah 32:20, "God has set signs and wonders in the land of
Egypt, even unto this day, and in Israel, and among other men; and has made
Himself a Name, as at this day".
The Bible is the Book of Life, the Book of Redemption for Adam's race and the
Title Deed to the inheritance we forfeited. It tells how God redeemed the saints
in each Age, from the first couple in Eden to the 144,000 elect Israelites, and
how at the White Throne Judgment we will judge the world by Christ, granting the
different groups of the "saved" into eternal Life, and casting the lost into the
lake of Fire.
The Bible is the story of God changing His Form from the eternal Holy Spirit
alone with His thoughts to the manifestation of those thoughts in the glorified
flesh of His family. It is fitting that we see this represented in the Great
Pyramid. Its missing caagsone represents the rejected Christ and His rejected
end-time Bride who will be under pre-eminence as He was, to manifest the Sons of
God. Its open coffer signifies He is risen, and the various passageways and
chambers explain the story able minds of mathematicians and intellectuals have
sought for centuries to understand.
The word "god" means "object of worship" and Jesus has told us that to be
pleasing and acceptable to God, we must worship Him in spirit and in Truth. That
is, whole heartedly by revelation, having the mind that was in Christ in us. For
true worship is not singing and shouting "Hallelujah's," but having the Token
Life of Christ on display all the time. Our lives are to be written epistles of
the PRESENT Truth, read and known by all men. So we can only worship or serve God
as we understand His Word. And He made the way.
As a result of Eve's deception and swift redemption by Adam, the human race was
separated from God's Presence. But He provided a way of return past the cherubim
in the East guarding the Altar with a flaming sword, through the shed blood of an
innocent Kinsman Redeemer. It was illustrated in the heavenly archetype after
which Moses patterned the Tabernacle and Solomon built the Temple, whose
instructive architecture and furnishings reveal the three steps of grace
replicated in the Revelation of Jesus Christ and manifest in new birth that
restores us into His Presence. Our labours ended, we enter His rest in the Holy
of Holies adorned with cherubim, palm trees, open flowers, blue, purple and
scarlet, emblematic of our restoration to Edenic paradise.
Confronted by this great cloud of witnesses we are without excuse. Job and Moses,
Paul and Brother Branham, wrote how nature declares redemption by marking God's
appointed times of meeting in the heavenly bodies and in her cycle of birth,
death and resurrection.
Brother Branham said that if we follow Bible types we won't make a mistake as
they all foreshadow the same story. God employs these symbols over and over again
so that His people will recognize His Voice. When God revealed the Seven Seals to
His Prophet, Brother Branham, He used the symbolism of the Pyramid and the
Temple.
Picturing the Temple in our minds we see the place
of the Presence or Holy of Holies in the West. East of the vail in the Sanctuary
stood the Altar of Incense, to the North was the Shewbread, and on the Southern
side stood the seven Lamps of Fire representing seven portions of the Spirit that
anointed the seven stars or Church Age Messengers to Illumine the Message of Life
to the saints of their day. The people worshipped Eastward and beside the
Sanctuary.
Now Brother Branham's ministry was two-fold. His Message was first to restore the
apostolic faith (Malachi 4:5-6), then to introduce the second Coming of the
Fullness of the WordChrist's 'parousia' (Acts 3:23; I Corinthians 13:19;
Revelation 10:7). In the visions and dreams Brother Branham recounts in Messages
like, "Sirs, is This the Time?" "The Seven Seals", "This Day This Scripture is
Fulfilled", "What is the Attraction on the Mountain", and "And Knoweth It
Not", we view the Southern side of the pyramid extending East and West with
the caagsone representing the Fullness of the Word, for the seven golden
lamagsands that represent the Church drawn out from all seven Church Ages sat on
the southern side of the Holy Place.
The seven heavenly
anointings make up the fullness of the Spirit, and when the
Messages of the seven stars or angel are aligned in a constellation they form a
conjunction or pyramid of Light from three lamps East and three West of one
central lamp on the seven-branched Golden Lamagsand.
In restoring the revealed Word Brother Branham retraced the Gospel Light from the
East through the Seven Church Ages to the Presence in the West; there on Sunset
mountain in Arizona he was caught up into a constellation of those seven portions
of the Spirit shortly before their work of quickening the PART-Word saints was completed at the
end of the Laodicean Church Age. As they departed Westward they formed the Pillar
of Cloud signifying Christ's imminent 'parousia' Coming promised in Matthew 24:3,
30; 26:64, Daniel 7:9, Acts 1:9-11 and Revelation 1:7, 14. At the close of
Laodicea they left this earth and returned before the Throne of God, and as we
read in Revelation 4:5, "Out of the throne proceeded lightnings and
thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the
throne, which are the seven Spirits of God" (I Corinthians 13:10).
Visualizing the sanctuary with its Golden Lamagsand in the South you will see why
the Prophet had to go West for the "evening-time Light" of that last Angel
who would unite with the other seven portions of the Spirit to form the Fullness
of the Spirit that would anoint him as he ministered, to introduce the Fullness
of the Word: Christ. Not the Man, but the Spoken Word of his Message (I
Corinthians 13:10). This is why he could so readily identify with that seventh
angel, which was his own theophany.
He returned East from Tucson to Jeffersonville where he was inspired to preach
the Seven Seals to his people as seven successive anointings of the Spirit came
upon him in a cumulative manner until, anointed with the Fullness of the Spirit
he introduced Christ, the Fullness of the Word. A partial anointing of the Spirit
would not suffice, which is why the Church Age saints were only able to receive
the revelation of the Seals. If you are familiar with his visions you will
understand Brother Branham had to be caught up into the constellation of the
seven angels because the mystery of the voices of the seven thunders that John
was forbidden was the continuum or unbroken sequence of their Messages which was
the seven-fold voice of God (Revelation 10:1-4).
In another vision, Brother Branham was interpreting writing worn over aeons into
the rocky sides of a pyramid-shaped mountain by run-off. This represented the Six
written Seals and Church Age saints whose lives epistles written by the washing
of water by the Word, or faith (Ephesians 5:26). It showed him going Westward and
opening the top of the pyramid mountain to reveal a white granite stone with no
writing, emblematic of the Seven Thunders or unwritten Word of the Seventh Seal,
which is the revelation of the previous Six written Seals God would declare
through the mouth of His Prophet. He said, "I stood there a little bit till the
Holy Spirit revealed it. I said, "The entire Bible, as much as has been
revealed to men through justification, sanctification, the baptism of the Holy
Ghost, the baptism in Jesus' Name, and all these things has been revealed, but
there is secrets that's hid inside, because the Bible's sealed with Seven Seals.
I must go there to find it."
"That morning when those seven Angels came down and blasted the earth and
rocks flew every way, seven Angels stood there and said, "Return back to
Jeffersonville from where you came from, for the Seven Seals of the seven
mysteries will be opened."
"Here we are today, we're understanding Serpent's seed; in a few days, if God
willing, we'll understand the correctness of marriage and divorce and all these
things that God's opened, every Seal, the mysteries, since the foundation of the
world, and we've been enjoying the Presence of His blessings" (This Day This
Scripture is Fulfilled, p. 21:172-180).
In The Revelation of the Seven Seals he said, "If
you're listening to the tape of "What Time is it, Sir?" you'll notice that one
Angel was very notable to me. The rest of them just seemed ordinarily; but this
Angel was a noted Angel. He was to my left in the constellation in a form of a
pyramid. And you remember, it was in the pyramid where the mysterious white rock
was not written on. And the Angels took me into that pyramid of themselves, the
mysteries of God known only to them. And now, they were the messengers that came
to interpret that pyramid or that message of the secret of these Seven Seals
which lays with inside the pyramid." (That is, the unwritten Word uttered by
the Voices of the Seven Thunders).
(Brother Branham was in the West looking North at the Pyramid, or pyramid formed
by the seven Lamps of Fire in the Southern side of the sanctuary, typing the
angels or portions of the Spirit that anointed each of the Church Age
messengers).
"Now, the Angel was to my left, would really be the last, or seventh Angel, if
we would count them from left to right, because he was on my left, me looking to
him towards the west, him coming towards the east would be on the left side, so
that would be the last angel's Message: very notable. You remember how I said he
had kind of his head back, and his great sharp wings, and how he flew right to
me. Now, that is this Seventh Seal. It's still is a notable thing. We don't know
what it is as yet, because it's not permitted to be broken" (Seals, p.
578:1-2).
The understanding didn't break to his followers until about twelve years after
Brother Branham's death as he'd predicted in his 1977 statements. By that time
the Bride began to realize she was not a part of Laodicea and started to separate
from the Pentecostals and their Message. She began to see that her Messenger was
not William Branham who was the angel to the Seventh Church Age, but the
Messenger he introduced, Christ Himself (Revelation 10:8-11; II Corinthians
12:1-4).
Sadly, the Book is still sealed to most people in Message circles. They haven't
the faintest notion what It's all about. Like the disciples of John the Baptist
Paul encountered at Ephesus, these good people are following the prophetic
forerunner oblivious to the Coming of the One He introduced.
They've learned the dead letter of the Message, but not having met the Author,
they know not what It means. They are like sightseers and scientists who climb
through and study the pyramid instead of standing back and reading the witness of
the last of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World standing today.
The Great
Pyramid was constructed of granite overlaid with 144,000 white limestone slabs
cut to optical precision. The joints are consistently one fiftieth of an inch,
that's about as thick as five pages of your Bible, but the cement was probably
used as a lubricant to slide the blocks into position. None of these highly
polished stones weigh less than a ton. Typing the Church of All Ages, Brother
Branham said, "It's got to be honed. In that pyramid, you can take a razor
blade, and you can't run between them rocks where the mortar was; it's so fitly
put together" (Spoken Word Original Seed Jeff, p. 107:5). Our revelation must
be Word upon Word, line upon line, contiguous from Genesis to Revelation
each dispensation blending seamlessly into the next.
Long ago those
beautiful protective stones were carried away as the 144,000 Israelites, who will
be the Bride's servants, were dispersed. But Matthew 24:31 says, "He shall
send his angels (the two witnesses of Zechariah 4 and Revelation 11) with
a great sound of a Trumpet, (the Seventh Trump of I Corinthians 15:52 and I
Thessalonians 4:16) and they shall gather together his elect from the four
winds, from one end of heaven to the other." Revelation 7:4, "I heard the
number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty four
thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel."
Revelation 21:10-13, 15-17, "He carried me away in the spirit to a great and
high mountain, and showed me that great [pyramidal] city, the holy Jerusalem,
descending out of heaven from God, having the glory of God: and her Light was
like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; and
had a wall great and high, and had TWELVE GATES, and at the gates twelve angels, and names
written thereon, which are the names of the TWELVE TRIBES of the children of
Israel: On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three
gates; and on the west three gates. . . And he that talked with me had a golden
reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof. And the
city lies foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured
the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and
the height of it are equal. And he measured the wall thereof, 144,000 cubits,
according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel."
There we are, back at our symbolic Great Pyramid. The photograph illustrates some
remaining outer limestone casing.
Proponents of the Supernatural inspiration of the Great Pyramid have been legion.
We are taught by the Prophet William Branham that the Great Pyramid was designed
by the Great Architect of the Universe and its builder was none other than His
prophet Enoch.
According to Dr Joseph Seiss, "It has been ascertained and clearly
demonstrated that there is in the measures, pointings, form, and features of that
great primeval monument . . . a massive and indestructible stone memorial of a
complete and faultless knowledge of the structure of the universe, of the exact
and physical sciences both terrestrial and cosmical, a determination of a perfect
system of weights and measures scientifically conformed to what the Opifex Mundi
(Creator of the World) fixed in things when he fetched a compass round
the worlds and weighed the hills in balances. Scientific investigation on the
part of different men competent to the task have made it clear that there is
built into that edifice a record of the heavens at the time of its erection which
gives its age by astronomy in full accord with all external indications and
evidences; also a record of the size, form and weight of the earth and its
relation to and distance from the sun, the true length of the solar year, the
number of years in the precessional cycle, the average temperature of the
habitable world, together with the multitudinous cosmical facts and mathematical
formulas and proportions no better told by sciences now existing among men"
(Joseph Seiss, Gospel in the Stars, p. 175).
The Great Pyramid was God's Absolute that would preserve a great wealth of
knowledge for the generations born after the Flood. For instance, the constant
pi, which more than a thousand years after the Flood the Egyptians did not know.
It reveals the shape of the earth, its size and distance from the sun and that
the Poles were flattened. None of the later pyramids reveal such perfection of
mathematical and architectural skills as The Great Pyramid.
Brother Branham said, "just before the antediluvian destruction and the flood
time . . . they had a greater civilization than we have today. I believe that
they had control of atomic power. I think that's what shook the world from its
orbit. . . . And we're taught and know that the world stood upright. But they had
such mechanical and such science till they could build a pyramid, sphinx, so
forth, that we couldn't reproduce today. We have no machinery to lift those
blocks that far, 'less it would be atomic; gasoline power won't do it, and
electrical powers won't do it. But it was another age much smarter than our age"
(End-Time Evangelism, p. 13:73)
I believe they
had a more sophisticated understanding of atomic theory than we have today, and
by changing polarity were able to levitate mass so as to eliminate friction so
that men or animals could guide perfect masonry to the top of the structure via
ramps. There one man might levitate and accurately position their immense mass
and weight according to the plans. I once saw a film about Edward Leedskalnin, an
immigrant American, who, unaided, built Coral Castle in Miami, Florida. He
quarried, shaped and erected 1,100 tonnes of coral over 28 years.
The average weight of each block was 6 tonnes, (almost three times the average
weight of the stones used on the face of the Great Pyramid), and the largest
stone in the Castle weighed 30 tonnes. His only mechanical aid was a small lewis
that would not support one ton.
Because of his reclusive nature, no-one learned how he lifted and maneuvered the
giant coral blocks. No machinery is up to the task. They were convinced he knew
the secret of how the Pyramids of Egypt were constructed. He explained that,
"All matter consists of individual magnets, and it is the movement of these
magnets within material through space that produces measurable phenomena"
(Colin Wilson, From Atlantis To The Sphinx). He must have known how to
produce and use radio waves to control magnetic polarity.
Altogether there are 80 pyramids in Egypt, 100 in the Sudan, still more in China,
South America, and even in Australia. The most famous in Egypt are the step,
"bent" and Great Pyramids. It is commonly held that these pyramids illustrate an
evolution in engineering sophistication. Scientific knowledge encoded in the
Great Pyramid has only begun to be fully understood in the past two centuries. I
rather suspect they illustrate a degradation of engineering skills from the time
of the construction of the Great Pyramid to the more recent pyramids.
Before the Eiffel Tower, the Great Pyramid was the world's tallest building. It
stands 481 feet and its masonry is twice the volume and thirty times the mass of
the Empire State Building. It covers 13 acres, an area large enough to hold the
cathedrals of Florence, Milan and St. Peters, as well as St. Pauls and
Westminster Abbey. It measures 756 feet along each side at the base and is
estimated to have contained 2,300,000 blocks of stone. The largest measure 30
feet in length, and weigh 880 tons. All of its stones laid end to end would
stretch two-thirds of the way around the equator.
While being the oldest structure, the Great Pyramid is the most accurately
oriented, its sides being aligned true North, South, East and West with such
accuracy navigators can swung a compass. The Great Pyramid is only three minutes
deviant, and Raymond Capt claims this is due mainly to subsidence. Modern man's
best effort, the Paris Observatory, is six minutes off true north. Architects and
engineers who have studied the Pyramid's structure contend we could not build
it today, indicating man is in a state of entropy.
Dr. Seiss and
others have shown that the Pyramid lies in the center of gravity of the
continents, dividing earth's land mass into approximately equal quarters. The
north-south axis (31 degrees East of Greenwich) is the longest land meridian, and
the east-west axis (30 degrees North) is the longest land parallel on the globe.
The only place where these lines of the terrestrial earth can intersect, is at
the Great Pyramid. Enoch its builder possessed an advanced knowledge of earth's
geography, and he knew the size, shape and position of each of the continents and
was accustomed to thinking on a global scale. The "pyramid is so
geographically set in the center of the earth, till there's never a shadow around
it, no matter where the sun is" (William Branham, Perseverant 62-0729).
Of course at sunset the Great Pyramid does cast a shadow, but not on its own
sides which are slightly convex. Each side represents a segment of the Northern
Hemisphere, or a quadrant of 90 degrees. Its apex corresponds to the North Pole,
and its perimeter to the equator in perfect scale.
Isaiah 19:19-20 says,"In THAT DAY there will 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 a SIGN
and a WITNESS to the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall
cry to the Lord because of the oppressors, and He will send them a Savior, and a
Great One and He shall deliver them".
The Great Pyramid will be standing "in that day," when the Seventh Trumpet
announces the great and dreadful day of the Lord and two prophets go forth to
introduce the parousia of Israel's Savior Who will deliver them according to
their faith. The word "IT" conveys the idea that the "altar" and
"pillar" are one and the same object.
The Great
Pyramid is located at Giza, which means "BORDER," on the border
of Upper and Lower Egypt, and stands at the geographical center or MIDST
of Egypt, defining the segment of a circle around the Nile Delta subtended by
diagonal lines extending northwest and northeast.
The Pyramid is certainly a "PILLAR" as the text requires, and also an
"ALTAR" in the sense of being a witness to the Lord. Joshua 22:26-27 "Let
us now prepare to build us an ALTAR, not for burnt offering, nor for
sacrifice: But that it may be a WITNESS between us, and you, and our
generations after us, that we might do the service of the Lord before Him . . ."
The gematria of Isaiah 19:19-20: also identifies the Great Pyramid as God's
special revelation. Gematria is the science of finding meaning in the numerical
value of words and was used by Ivan Panin
and others to demonstrate the Supernatural inspiration of Holy writ. Having no
numerals, the Hebrews designated the letters of their alphabet with a numerical
value. Thus every word has the numerical value of the sum of the value of its
letters. The sum of the value of all Hebrew characters in the these verses is
5449, the height in inches of the Great Pyramid!
In Job 38:4-7, Earth is compared to a building. "Where were you when I laid
the FOUNDATIONS of the Earth? Declare, if you have understanding. Who laid
the MEASURES thereof, if you knowest? or who stretched the LINE upon it?
Whereupon are the FOUNDATIONS thereof fastened? or who laid the CORNER
STONE thereof; When the MORNING STARS sang together, and all the
sons of God shouted for joy?"
Job well knew that the Earth spins on its axis in its orbit around the sun and
has no foundations (Job 26:7). However the Earth was represented in the
mathematics of the Great Pyramid which IS built upon four foundation stones. The
Pyramid HAS a Caagsone or chief corner-stone, but it was not until Brother
Branham introduced the Caagsone in 1963 that "the Sons of God Shouted for Joy."
Revelation 5:8-12, "And when Jesus had taken the Book, the four beasts and
twenty-four Elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and
golden vials full of odors, which are the prayers of saints. And they sung a new
song, saying, 'You are worthy to take the Book, and to open the Seven Seals: for
You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by Your blood out of every kindred,
and tongue, and people, and nation; and have made us unto our God kings and
priests: and we shall reign on the earth'."
"And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne
(these are the Sons of God), and the Living Creatures and the Elders: and the
number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
saying with a loud voice, 'Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power,
and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing'."
Those of you who are familiar with the Questions and
Answers on the Seals will recall the Holy Spirit stopping Brother Branham and
correcting him on one of his answers. These are the New Testament saints God saw
from the foundation of the world rejoicing in the revelation that placed them
into the Body of Christ (Seals, p. 501:4).
Like all Scripture, the Great Pyramid has a compound revelation. In the natural
it represents God's footstool, this earth. In the Spiritual it is His future
dwelling place and throne in His elect.
Ephesians 2:20-22, "We are built upon the FOUNDATION OF THE APOSTLES
AND PROPHETS, Jesus Christ Himself being the CHIEF CORNER-STONE; In whom
all the building fitly framed together grows unto a HOLY TEMPLE in the Lord: In
whom we also are builded together for an HABITATION OF GOD through the Spirit."
Only the pyramid can represent God manifested in the saints of all Ages, the New
Jerusalem. No other architectural form has a "chief corner stone" which is
reproduced by the building it completes as the Bride reproduces Christ. "All
God was He poured into Christ, and all Christ was He poured into His Church"
(John 17:20-23). Being five-sided, it has no place in the building but as the
chief corner-stone or Caagsone to whose angles the whole building is fitly joined
together.
Israel rejected that Stone for which they could recognize no place until the
building was completed. He became a "Stone of stumbling and a Rock of offense"
to them (I Peter 2:7-8; Romans 9:32-33). The caagsone of a pyramid has five
sides and five corners, the chief of which always points heavenward. Anyone
falling upon it would be "broken" or injured, and were it to fall on
anyone, it would grind him to powder (Matthew 21:42-44).
"The Stone which the builders refused is become the Head Stone of the Corner"
(Psalm 118:22). Soon the Building will be completed and God will send two
prophets to "turn away ungodliness from Jacob" by introducing the Caagsone
and the Building, his King and Queen, and change his name to Israel (Romans
11:26).
We've said that God's first Bible is written in the stars. Genesis 1:14-18
informs us the sun, moon and their offspring, the stars, are for signs warning us
of things to come and for instruction how we must walk in Light and not be
confused by the secret things of the darkness that surrounds them. Check the
Hebrew. Isaiah 40:26 and Psalms 147:4 inform us they were named by God Himself.
Read these verses at home.
Job 26:13, "By His Spirit He has garnished (or decorated with a summons
and warning) the heavens; His hand has formed the crooked serpent." Job
38:31-33, "Can you bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands
of Orion? Can you bring forth Mazzaroth (the Zodiac) in his season? or can
you guide Arcturus with his sons? Do you know the ordinances of heaven? can you
set the dominion thereof in the earth?" The silent summons and warning of the
stars witness to all the world (Psalm 19:1-4).
Paul taught that the stars silently witness God's Attributes and expectations,
declaring His glory. Romans 1:18-20, "For the wrath of God is revealed from
heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in
unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is made evident in their
consciousness; for God has shown It to them. From the creation of the world His
invisible character and nature have been clearly seen, being understood by the
things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are
without excuse."
Adam was endued with innate science which was passed down to Seth, preserved in
the Pyramid by Enoch and rekindled on this side of the Flood. This explains how
Egypt sprung forth spontaneously as a sophisticated civilization.
After the Fall, God made known to Adam His purposes concerning the Serpent and
its seed, and the woman and her Seedthe Gospel and the mystery of
redemption. Nothing of the New Testament is "new." It was all written in the
Stars from the beginning of time and revealed to God's holy prophets since the
world began. Man is in a state of entropy from the superior being he was created,
to the perversion Satan has been developing since the Fall.
Our prophetic forefathers were not primitive ape men. They knew and loved God.
They wrote books recording the prophecies and wisdom revealed to them and
explained the Gospel in the Stars aeons ago.
Luke 1:67-70, "John's father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and
prophesied, saying, 'Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he has visited and
redeemed His people, (that's Adam's race), And has raised up an horn (or
power) of salvation for us in the house of his servant David; As He spoke by the
mouth of His holy prophets, WHICH HAVE BEEN SINCE THE WORLD BEGAN'."
You can read down to verse 79 when you get home. Notice Zechariah declared God's
redemption an accomplished fact before Messiah was born? The birth of his own son
was vindication enough because John was to forerun Messiah. That's the faith we
must have for our own body change. The ministry of Christ's second forerunner,
the late William Branham, is its vindication.
Peter rebuked the Israelites for their unimaginable ignorance of the prophetic
Word God revealed by His prophets from the beginning of the world. How was it
they could fail to recognize when Messiah should come and how He should be
crucified by His own people?
Acts 3:17-23, "Brethren, I know that through ignorance you killed Messiah, as
did also your rulers. But those things, which God before had shown by the mouth
of all His prophetsthat Christ should sufferHe has so fulfilled. So
repent, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of
refreshing (the new birth) shall come from the Presence of the Lord; And
He shall send Jesus Christ, who before was preached unto you: Whom the heaven
must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God has spoken
by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began."
God has had prophets since the beginning of the world, and all the
prophetic revelation from Adam must be restored before Christ's parousia. This
necessitated one final prophetic ministry to we Gentiles because the Word of God
comes only to a prophet and this man was to restore "all things, which God has
spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began." That is,
the Fullness of the Word, which IS Christ. His second or "parousia" Coming to we
Gentiles was through the mouth of the late William Branham in WORD Form (I
Corinthians 13:10).
"For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God
raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto Me; him shall you hear in all
things whatsoever He shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass, that every
soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the
people".
Of that forerunner, Jesus said, "Elijah truly shall first come and restore all
things spoken by the mouth of all God's holy prophets since the world began"
(Matthew 17:11). Hence when Jesus opened the Seventh Seal, "There was silence
in heaven." The Fullness of the Word had already gone forth by the mouth of
all God's Holy Prophets since the world began. Not one Word could be added to or
taken from that which is already perfect. Praise God!
Those who fail to receive the Message will fail to receive Christ. Those who add
to the Message will be cast into the tribulation and those who reject and take
from It commit the unpardonable sin and will be cast into the Lake of Fire.
Outside the Message of this hour there is no possibility of becoming a Christian!
Jude 14-15, "And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these,
saying, Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, to execute
judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their
ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches
which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him".
And in our day the mystery of God is finished. In other words, His plan of
redemption is fulfilled in the restoration of the Fullness of the Word which is
the return of God's Presence in Word Form. That's right, we're on our way back to
the garden of Eden. Very soon that Presence will be manifested in the glorified
flesh of His saints. Then we will change and be caught up with them to meet our
glorified Lord in the Air.
Sanchoniathon and other ancient historians inform us that the seven vowels in the
earliest alphabet were "so arranged as to express the places of the seven
visible planets in the Zodiac" at the time when the alphabet was completed.
The twenty-five letters and the twelve zodiac signs were superimposed, with the
vowels unevenly spaced to represent the planetary positions at that time. Thus
the alphabet records "an exact notation of the actual condition of the heavens
at an ascertainable date, which can occur but once in many thousands of years,
and that date is the seventh of September, 3447BC" (Joseph Seiss, Gospel in
the Stars, p. 23, 174).
Even if Dr Seiss is out by a day or two, a finished astronomical science as well
as writing were already completely developed in Adam's lifetime and these
astronomical facts and chronologies were preserved in the Great Pyramid.
Since Mary's
conception by the Word of the Angel when Earth was in Virgo, the first sign of
the zodiac, Earth's position in space has moved about 30 degrees or one full
sign, so that Leo, the last sign in the zodiac, will take Virgo's position when
the Zodiac has traveled its full cycle. This prophecy is recorded in the Sphinx
that stands before the Great Pyramid in which the Body of the Lion of the Tribe
of Judah, the Church, is united with the Head of the Virgin (and the Caagsone of
the
Pyramid) in the catching-away of the Church. The Word sphinx derives from the
Greek "sphiggo" which means "to bind closely together" and signifies to
Christians the circle begun with Christ's conception by the eternal Word ends by
taking the Offspring of that Word back into eternity with Him.
The Great Pyramid has been called "the Bible in stone" because its passageways
and chambers reveal geometrically, in line and symbol, the profound spiritual
truths of the plan of redemption. Silent geometry reveals a remarkable witness.
One enters the
Great Pyramid at the Descending Passage which has an elevation of 26 degrees 18'
9.7", the elevation of the Pole Star, Alpha Draconis, the chief star in the
Constellation of the Dragon or Great Serpent at that latitude in 2170BC around
the time of the Flood.
The Great Pyramid represents the Earth that now is. It is a perfect prophecy in
stone so its Passageways are aligned with heavens which are now. But all who
endeavor to unlock its mysteries by measurements based on Earth's present
relationship with the heavens cannot hope to obtain correct answers as the
pre-Flood year was one of only 360 days.
When earth had its water baptism, the Flood only washed away past sin. Sinful Ham
was in the ark with the remnant, so as man entered the post-diluvian world
symbolized by the pyramid he was under the Dragon star sign and dominion of
Satan, on the Descending Passage and bound for the Pit However, about a quarter
of the distance down the Descending Passage we encounter an Ascending Passage,
indicating a separation from sin and representing God's dealings with Israel in
the Exodus and under the Law until Calvary.
The elevation of this narrow upward passageway is 26 degrees 18' 9.7". The
ceiling is so low one must stoop, indicating the Law was based upon works of
obedience no man could satisfy.
The Grand
Gallery continues upward at the same angle, representing Pentecost and the Seven
Church Ages. Its corbelled walls are formed by seven successive overhanging
courses of masonry at an elevation of 26 degrees 18' 9.7" so although the way is
strait and narrow, it is no longer necessary to stoop.
This is a picture of the Grand Gallery looking back down towards the ascending
passage from the Great Step at the top of the climb. Soon after the commencement
of the Grand Gallery, we encounter the mouth of an open well. The Well Shaft
follows a serpentine passage to the Pit or prison house of the lost, opening part
way down into an empty cavern that may represent the dimension called Paradise
where the Old Testament saints waited upon their Kinsman Redeemer.
Its covering stone is gone as if violently blown-out from beneath when Paradise
emptied-out at His resurrection. Nowadays, the traffic is downward with no
return. "Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul
shall have no pleasure in him" (Hebrews 10:38). Those who commence the
journey and draw back in unbelief commit the unforgivable sin.
From the mouth of the Well Shaft, a horizontal passageway leads to the Queen's
Chamber which may represent the dimension wherein the Israelite "souls under
the (Sacrifice) Altar" and other groups of the "saved"remaining
on the Book of Life being justified and sanctified but not filled with the
Spirit. These await the general resurrection when they will appeal at the White
Throne Judgment. The position of the Queen's Chamber almost directly under the
Ante Chamber to the King's Room further identifies it with the "saved" when we
extend a time line downwards, for when the Seventh Trumpet sounds, the elect
enter the King's Chamber and salvation ends.
The Great
Subterranean Chamber is an ominous place of disorder with a pit where Satan is
said to be chained a thousand years then loosed for a brief span, and after the
Judgment, annihilated with his subjects in the lake of Fire. The passage
continues on the far side of the Pit, terminating abruptly in a blind wall,
portraying the general resurrection, the white Throne Judgment and the second
death when death and hell are cast into the lake of Fire.
Daniel 7:11-12, "I beheld then because of the voice of the great Words which
the horn (Rome) spoke: I beheld even till the beast (or
Devil-incarnate Pope) was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the
burning flame. As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion
taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time." until
after the Millennium when they will be resurrected and judged in the bodies in
which they had sinned.
The Grand Gallery terminates at a Great Step beyond which, a level floor under a low passageway takes one to the Ante Chamber of the King's Chamber. Known as "Enoch's circle," the Ante Chamber is 10 feet long by 42 inches wide, by 12 feet high. Here we met the Prophet of Malachi 4:5-6 and Revelation 10:7 who stood in the gap or breach after the end of the Laodicean Church Age and Christ's Mediation, but before the revelation of the Seven Seals by which he introduced us to the King (God's Only Provided Place of Worship, p. 33:217). Just before the passageway to the King's Chamber two granite beams cross the chamber, suspended just below the ceiling, one above the other, 52 inches above the floor. The photograph shows the Boss on the stone above the passage entry into the 'King's chamber'.
The upper
block appears to be broken-off from above and is marked with a half circle that
may be a lifting boss or symbol similar to the Egyptian hieroglyph for a loaf of
bread which might speak of the second wave offering of the Bride beyond that
point but prior to our translation. A circle signifies eternity. Here we are in
transition back to Eternity by the three-fold process of the Shout, Voice and
Trump of I Thessalonians 4:16. Enoch's circle measures 365.25 inches. Genesis
5:23, "All the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty-five years." Enoch
was translated when he was 365 years old. The passage into the King's Chamber is
42 inches high.
Some time in 1961 the Lord showed Brother Branham a vision in which he was in
Canada on a hunting trip with several Brethren; he shot a strange-looking caribou
and a man wearing a green checked shirt measured the horns at 42 inches. The
vision showed that he would also shoot a monstrous silver-tip grizzly bear.
Shortly thereafter he shot the caribou and its horns measured precisely 42
inches, and about a mile further away he shot the silver-tip grizzly at such
close range it died almost at his feet. The vision and its fulfillment are
described in Newsletter 548 together with images of the
caribou trophy and the seven-foot silvertip grizzly bear, now a mat, along with
my understanding of the prophetic meaning, which being Scriptural must accord
not only with our written Bible, but with the Gospel in the stars and the stone
Bible Enoch constructed before the Great Flood.
Forty-two is the number of man's
opposition to God. President Grover Cleveland served two non-consecutive
terms, therefore George W. Bush was the 42nd President of the United States. His
successor, Barack Hussein Obama is pseudo-president because he is not a
natural-born citizen of the United States, and if he is a citizen at allas fraudulent as this image. In 1937 a young man named Joe Brandt dreamt a continuous series of Spiritual dreams in which an Earthquake sank Los Angeles, much of California and Japan. In a newspaper he saw and described a picture of the man who was president at the time of this catastrophe. I believe it must have been usurping President Obama. We have reached the end.
Brother Branham said, "The great pyramid, you who study that, points to the END TIME, the one that Enoch made. The zodiac, it started off with a virgin, the first coming of Christ. It's ending up with Leo the lion, the second Coming. It's at hand" (Fellowship through Reconciliation 55-0605).
The end time commences with revelation of the Seven Seals (Daniel 12:4, 9;
Revelation 10:4, 7). Within the Ante Chamber, just before the entrance to the
King's Chamber the wall contains grooves for a portcullis whose granite door was
lowered to seal the Chamber. Jesus said, "While the foolish virgin went to
buy, the Bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with Him to the
Marriage; and the door was shut" (Matthew 25:10). As it was in the days of
Noah, the door to the King's Chamber, like the door to the ark, will be shut by
God from Above (Genesis 7:16).
Brother Branham said, "did you know that men who are sons of God are amateur
gods? How many ever knew that? How many knows that Jesus said so? The Bible,
Jesus said, "Did not your Law say itself that you are gods? And if you call them
gods. . ." Which, God said in Genesis 2 that they were gods, because they had
full domain over the dominion of the world. He gave him dominion over all things. And he lost his godship; he lost his sonship; he lost his domain; and Satan took it over. But, brother, we are waiting for the manifestations of the sons of God, who'll come back and take it over again. Waiting for the fullness of time, when the pyramid gets up to the top, when the full sons of God will be manifested, when the power of God will walk out, (Hallelujah!), and will take every power that Satan's got away from him" (Adoption, p. 114:76).
The floor from the Great Step to the King's Chamber is the same polished red
granite from which the King's Chamber is constructed indicating we are walking in the way of the Lord. We're at the top of the pyramid now, coming to maturity, and waiting for the earthquake to call the resurrection of the sleeping saints and the manifestation of the Sons of God. We're in the Ante-Chamber waiting on the King. He's just a little higher in another Dimension faster than our three.
When Brother Branham was taken beyond the curtain of time, he said, "Oh, where
is Jesus? I want to see Him."
The people replied, "HE IS JUST A LITTLE HIGHER. Someday He will come to you.
You were sent as a leader, and when God comes, He will judge you according to
your teaching." (The bema judgment).
I ask, "Does Paul and Peter have to stand this judgment also?"
The answer was, "Yes." (Beyond the Curtain of Time, 61-0305).
The King's Chamber is situated on the fiftieth level of masonry. Fifty speaks of
the Pentecostal Jubilee and of coming into the unity of the apostolic faith for
the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation. Those in the denominational walled cities can not come out in the Jubilee. They stayed in Laodicea beneath the Great Step (William Branham, Feast of Trumpets, p. 14:106; Future Home, p. 44:371-383).
The King's Chamber is so called because it was imagined to have been built to
contain the body of the Pharaoh as men supposed that the Queen's Chamber was for
her interment. However this Chamber contains only a lidless, empty Coffer cut
from one solid block of red granite, unadorned but polished within and without.
The dimensions of the Holy of Holies match the
King's Chamber and the interior capacity of the Coffer matches that of the Ark of the Covenant, indicating only so-many saints are foreknown. The Great Pyramid, is an instructive symbol patterned after the same heavenly vision as the tabernacle and Solomon's temple. When the Seventh Trumpet sounds, "The temple of God in heaven will open revealing the Ark [or coffer] of His Testament," signifying God's Presence with Israel. That is, the Lord Jesus Christ will be revealed when the vail is torn from their eyes as the Temple vail was rent.
Alluding to the Great Pyramid as a type of the Body of Christ, Brother Branham
said, "Father God, I pray that today, as the door's still open, the people are coming from the east and west, north and south, gathering in. Great signs are happening. . . O God, we're near the end".
"And the Great Pyramid that Enoch built, the last chamber's gone through,
ready for the King's chamber now, the Coming of the Lord right in the top for the keystone. All the calendar of astronomy points right straight; the stars are
declaring it, as they did at the first time. When the wise men looked up and saw
the stars, they said, "There, the great King's coming." Now, the stars are
pointing again" (The Ark, p. 22:172-173).
Brother Branham said, "God wrote in the pyramids. If you study them, watch the ancient histories and wars, how they were built before the antediluvian
destruction" (Adoption, p. 104:22). . . As the pyramid of Christ's Church
will be completed and taken Home before the destruction.
Mathematicians and scholars have measured the Pyramid to determine past wars and
future events, seeing in the infallible mathematical and astrological
measurements of the structure a chronography with the scale of an inch for a
year. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus asks, "Which of you by taking thought
can add one cubit unto his stature?" Or lengthen his years by gaining one
cubit of time (Matthew 6:27).
The Greek word for "stature" indicates a measure of time, not a measure of
length. Jesus was not giving the formula on how to make NBF stars. I believe we
have measured time in this study of the Great Pyramidbut by dispensations
rather than dates. I'll stand on the things God has revealed from His third
Bible, we have no desire to mix natural, scientific wisdom in the Pyramid with
Supernatural application of the prophetic Word.
God conceived of the pyramid to preserve the natural wisdom of the ancients
safely through the Flood and used it also to signify His incarnation in the
glorified form of His saints. Satan has taken and perverted this symbol to
represent his dominion over a kingdom of this earth which he usurped from God and man at the Fall as Obama usurped the presidency at the fall of the United States.
Satan displays his perverted version of this symbol in the badge and insignia of
the Illuminati, the Scottish Rite Royal
Arch Free Masons, and Great Seal of the United States of America.
The words printed above the Pyramid, Annuit Coeptis, mean "He has
smiled upon our endeavors." "He" is commonly misunderstood to be the
Christian God. The word for "God" in Latin is Dues. It stands to reason
that if the designers of the seal had meant "God", they would have said God. The
"He" doing the smiling is certain to be the Masonic symbol of the "all
seeing eye" of the god Osiris peering through Pythagoras' triangle signifying
science, not spirituality. On the scroll underneath the Pyramid is the
inscription Novos Ordo Seculorum which translates to "New
secular order of the ages," an order of science and knowledge as
opposed to Christian faith.
The back side of the Great Seal shows an eagle clutching a group of 13 arrows in
its right claw, and an olive branch in its left. There are 13 leaves and 13
olives on the branch and above the eagle is a necromantic star formed by 13
five-pointed stars. The number 13 stands for just a wee bit more than the
thirteen original states of the Union, and has long had a sinister reputation,
being the number of people in the Supreme Council of the Jewish Illuminati. This
insignia was adopted by the US Congress as the reverse of the Seal of the United
States on September 15, 1789.
The obverse side of the Seal bears the Eagle, which is used as the Official Seal
and Coat of Arms of the United States of America. It is also shown on the reverse side of the one dollar note. The appearance of this insignia of the Illuminati on US dollar notes in 1933 meant that the followers of Weishaupt regarded their efforts as beginning to be "crowned with success," and that they totally controlled the US Government.
A man accepted into the temples was a man twice-born or re-born. The Phoenix is
generally regarded as representing immortality and resurrection. The bird on the
original Seal was not a wild turkey or an eagle but the phoenix, the ancient
symbol of human aspiration towards universal good. The beak is of a different
shape, the neck is much longer, and the small tuft of hair at the back of the
head leaves no doubt as to the artist's intention. The Eagle on the Seal has nine tail feathers and either 32 or 33 feathers on each of its two wings. The nine tail feathers represent the nine unknown men in the innermost circle of
enlightenment in the "Great White Brotherhood" or Illuminati, and the nine
degrees in the New York Rite of Freemasonry. The 32 on the right side represents
the 32 degrees in the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry and the 33 on the left side
are emblematic of the honorary 33rd Degree.
Benjamin Franklin gave his approval to the Phoenix, saying that a wild turkey had good character and was a fowl with a marked aversion to the color red. He was bitterly disappointed when told the bird was intended to represent an eagle. He remarked that an eagle was a bird of prey and lacked the respectable qualities of the wild turkey.
