Thy Kingdom Come (Studies in the Scriptures III), C.T. Russell, blz. 313-314:
"The testimony of God's stone witness and prophet, the
great pyramid in Egypt.
... it acquires new interests to every Christian advanced in the study of God's Word; for
it seems in a remarkable manner to teach, in harmony with all the prophets, an outline of
the plan of God, past, present and future. ... The Great Pyramid, however, proves to be a
storehouse of important truth - scientific, historic and prophetic - and its testimony is
found to be in perfect accordwith the Bible"
The
Watchtower, 15 juni 1922, blz. 187:
"chronology ... cannot possible be by chance, but must
be by the design of the only personal Being capable of such a plan -Jehovah himself; and
the chronology itself must be right. ... In the passages of the Great Pyramid of
Gizeh the agreement of one or two measurements with the present truth chronology might be
accidental, but the correspondency of dozens of measurements proves that the same
God designed both pyramids and plan - and at the same time proves the correctness of the
chronology. It is on the basis of such and so many correspondencies ... that we
affirm that, Scripturally, scientifically and historically, present truth chronolgy is
correct beyond a doubt. Its reliability has been abundantly confirmed by the dates
and events of 1874, 1914 and 1918. Present-truth chronology is a secure basis on which the
consecrated child of God may endeavor to search out things to come"
