These signs and wonders confirm God’s Word, for they prove inspiration a
fact; inspiration of a kind and in the very manner demanded by the
unbelieving scientists. Here is a building superhuman, and of course in
part supernatural, like the Bible. In this building the human and the
Divine blend.
If any deny this, it remains with them to account for it, and show how a
people so far back in the world’s history could be so wise and learned;
how they could embody so much of the sciences. One thing is certain, if
the Divine had nothing to do with this building, then we are left to the
conclusion that man was much superior to what the Darwinian theory
admits. If void of the Divine, then the development theory is destroyed.
If we admit the Divine, then it follows that inspiration is a fact.
The building is there, and it was there in the day of Egypt’s oldest
historians. It has been counted as one of the seven wonders of the
world.
It did not embody the ideas of the Egyptians in science, astronomy,
meteorology, or religion. As their historians allow, it was built by
foreigners which they hated.
Nothing idolatrous was carved on it, within or without. It was a witness
pure and clean. The Egyptians proclaimed and believed the earth to be
square—this building proclaimed the earth round. The builders bevelled
the face of the rock in a ratio of eight inches to the mile—the very
quantity that science to-day admits to be the curviture of the earth—and
accepts in surveying. It was their knowledge of this fact that kept the
building sound, without the cracking of a joint, through centuries,
though so high. The Egyptians did not use the sacred amma, or cubit,
which is about twenty-five of our inches. They used a profane cubit, as
Sir Isaac Newton shows.
This sacred cubit was a well and easily established proportion of the
earth’s diameter—the very standard now used by the English Government in
surveying.
The stones of the Pyramid were twelve feet long, eight feet broad, and
five deep, making twenty-five total. The building itself was a
five-faced figure. The Egyptians hated five. No wonder that Moses
harnessed the Israelites in fives as they left Egypt, or that he should
divide his book into five parts.
No wonder that the Queen’s Chamber should be on the twenty-fifth course
of masonry, and the King’s Chamber on the fiftieth course, which is the
year of jubilee, or deliverance—which year, as indicated in the Pyramid,
is the year 1935.
The Egyptians calculated from the moon in their chronology. But this
building takes its calculations from the sun circle. The Egyptian year
was 354 days, with an intercalary month of thirty-three days added every
three years.
