The great pyramid passages and chambers

RESUME OF PROOFS.

I. The KING'S CHAMBER symbolizes immortality, the possession of the Divine nature, in which death is an impossibility, by the following

features :—

1 Itis composed entirely of granite, which in the Great Pyramid symbolizes things Divine.

2 It is situated high above the summit of the Well, which symbolizes Hades.

3 Access to it is gained only by the Grand Gallery and the Ante-Chamber, just as the heavenly inheritance is attained only by way of faith-justification (Grand Gallery) and faith-consecration (Ante-Chamber ) during the Gospel Age.

4 Just as “the heavens are high above the earth,” so the King’s Chamber symbolical of the Church’s heavenly inheritance, is high above the Queen’s Chamber symbolical of the world’s post-millennial earthly inheritance. 5 Itis provided with open ventilating channels, thus teaching that the King’s Chamber symbolizes a permanent residence or condition.

Il. The QUEEN'S CHAMBER symbolizes the perfect human nature in which everlasting life is a possibility, but death not an impossibility, by the

following features :—

1 It is composed of limestone, which in the interior of the Great Pyramid symbolizes things human.

2 Itis situated just above the level of the summit of the Well, symbolical of Hades, and therefore symbolizes that plane of being, human perfection, which is superior to death conditions, but in which, nevertheless, there is always the possibility of death—in the event of disobedience.

3 itis situated on the same plane as the point which indicates the birth of the ‘man Christ Jesus” at the upper end of the First Ascending Passage—Par. 127.

4 Access to the plane of the Queen's Chamber is gained either (a) by the First Ascending Passage, symbolical of the Law Covenant which offered to the obedient perfect human life on the earth (this passage

is completely blocked by the Granite Plug, symbolical of the Divine Law), or (b) by the Well, symbolical of the ransom-sacrifice of Christ, the outcome of which will be restitution to all that was lost by Adam, given actually to the world by the end of the Millennial Age, imputed to the household of faith in the Gospel Age.

5 It is provided with ventilating channels which were originally covered, and were useless as conductors of air until someone would seek, find, and remove the barrier, thus symbolizing that ample provision has been made whereby the perfect human condition, represented in the seven-sided Queen's Chamber, may in due time be an everlasting condition to all who conform to God's regulations and laws.

(B) THE DESCENDING PASSAGE AND SUBTERRANEAN CHAMBER.

THOUGH the Descending Passage of the Great Pyramid is nearly three hundred and forty feet in length, it measures but three and a half feet from side to side, and rather less than four feet transversely from floor to roof. Its Entrance is situated in the north side of the Pyramid at a spot about 49 feet vertically above the ground. From this point the passage descends southwards at a steep angle.

145 Only one-fourth of the total length of the Descending Passage runs through the

Pyramid proper.

The remaining three-fourths, progressing southwards at the same
