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"
