The great pyramid passages and chambers

which is in line with the north wall’of the Grand Gallery, and which marks, therefore, the end of the First Ascending Passage and the commencement of the Grand Gallery, indicates the date of the death and resurrection of Christ which closed the Law Dispensation, and ushered in the Gospel Dispensation—Col. 2: 14. This line of demarcation, as indicating the date of the death and resurrection of Christ, is confirmed by several distinct time-measurements (in all of which a Pyramid inch corresponds to a year—Par. 25), the consideration of which is reserved for Volume II of Great Pyramid Passages. Now, if we measure along the floor of the First Ascending Passage from the point already determined as indicating the date of the birth of Jesus, to this line of demarcation which indicates the date of his death, the distance between the two is found to be 3314 inches, the exact length which corresponds to the duration of Jesus’ life on earth at the rate of an inch to a year.’

128 The fact that two or more parts of the Great Pyramid may symbolize the same feature of the Plan of Salvation (as, for instance, the Well, and the line of demarcation between the First Ascending Passage and the Grand Gallery, both of which symbolize the death.and resurrection of Christ), and the fact that one portion of the Great Pyramid may symbolize two or more features of the Plan of Salvation (as, for instance, the First Ascending Passage which symbolizes both the Law Covenant and the Law Dispensation), should occasion no surprise; for the same principle is observed in the Bible, where, for example, the followers of Christ are represented by various symbols—sheep, stones, guests at a wedding, branches in a vine, a bride, etc. In no other way would it be possible to represent so many features by the few simple passages and chambers contained in the Great Pyramid.

129 Dr. Seiss, arguing for the same reasonable interpretation of the symbolism of the Great Pyramid, writes: ‘Does not the same alphabet spell all our words, and by its various combinations serve to record all our knowledge? And when, by reading certain features of the Great Pyramid in one way, we get one circle of truths, and by reading them in other ways, based on Pyramid presentations, we get quite other circles of truths, or trace in one part coincidences with readings in a different kind in another part, where is the illogicalness of it or the confounding of things any more than in the cases just named ?”

130 While bearing this in mind, it will at the same time be noticed that nowhere are the presentations strained or out of harmony with the general symbolization of the various passages and chambers, but that, on the contrary, they tend to establish more firmly those symbolical applications; and new beauties, which otherwise would be lost, are brought to light, corroborating the testimony of the Scriptures.

"In his Life and Work at the Great Pyramid, Vol. Il, Professor C. Piazzi Smyth states that the floor of the Horizontal Passage is from 2034 to 21 inches above the Queen’s Chamber floor, and 6 inches above the line of demarcation between the First Ascending Passage and the Grand Gallery. This line of demarcation is, accordingly, from 1434 to 15 (say 14°85) inches above the level of the Queen's Chamber floor, which is on the same level as the point on the floor of the First Ascending Passage that marks the date of Jesus’ birth.

This vertical measurement of 14°85 inches is the perpendicular of a right-angled triangle, the hypotenuse of which is the length of that portion of the floor of the First Ascending Passage lying between the two points which indicate the dates of the birth and death of Jesus. The angle of inclination of the floor (the hypotenuse) is 26” 18’ 10’, and the sine of this angle is ‘4431146 (See any table of logarithms). If this be divided by the length of the perpendicular, 14°85 inches, the hypotenuse is found to measure 33’5 inches,
