Under the subheading of “Some Strange Teachings of C. T. Russell” is listed the teaching of “pyramidology.” The statement is made that certain calculations based on the Great Pyramid were “integrated into the prophecies of Russell.”
Although Russell never used the word “pyramidology,” Russell did believe that the Great Pyramid corroborated the Bible. It has been said that truth is stranger than fiction; this, however, is because of limited perceptions of truth. Thus, unless one actually studies pyramidology, the idea of pyramidology may seem “strange,” just as many non-Christians believe that the idea of God sending a son to die for our sins is “strange,” if their minds have not been conditioned to accept this. Yet, the very fact that Jesus died for our sins is confirmed by the Great Pyramid.
Russell, of course, made no prophecies, thus the statement that calculations were “integrated into the prophecies of Russell,” is incorrect. Russell did present, however, a series of studies on Biblical time prophecies (most of Russell’s studies on time prophecies and chronology were based on earlier studies done by N. H. Barbour and some others), and he believed that the measurements of the passageways confirmed the chronology of the Bible. Russell, himself, however, spent little time and space, comparatively, on the study of the Great Pyramid. John and Morton Edgar, however, actually measured the passageways and wrote extensively on the Great Pyramid, its symbology — both scientifically and Biblically — as well as the time features. They demonstrated in great detail how the time features of the Bible are corroborated by the Great Pyramid, as well as many other things about the Bible. Whether all their conclusions are correct or not, the evidence that the Great Pyramid was indeed constructed under God’s divine guidance is overwhelming, to say the least.
Let me say, however, that the word “pyramidology” was rarely used until after Charles Taze Russell died. It came more into use when Adam Rutherford named his books “Pyramidology.” His definition of pyramidology shows that he the word came into being to distinguish the study of the Great Pyramid as related to the Bible from other studies. The word originally had nothing to do with heathen occultism, nor does such a study of the Great Pyramid have anything to do with heathen occultism, nor with “pyramid power,” etc.

The Pillar of Enoch: mighty beacon set in stone
Five thousand years ago the knowledge of existence and universal secrets were put into a time capsule. Throughout the course of history men sensed there was something more. But while curiosity reigned in the hearts of men, how to find it was a great perplexity.
It was actually more than a legend it was a sacred and brilliant oracle; an oracle that holds the answers into the mysterious meaning of human existence, the universe, and the destiny for all mankind. But it was lost.
Its powerful truth was tarnished by time and it warped into strange and incomprehensible mythologies. Yet, the magnetic attraction, still resonating, mystifies the world to this day. Nonetheless, the power of the legend /oracle became diminished until it remained as a faint flicker of light barely distinguishable in the dark night of bygone ages.
In the darkness of unlit imaginations it was thought to be a tomb of a pharaoh and they called it the Great Pyramid, the final abode and resting place of Cheops. Even though his mummy was never found, nor were there any hieroglyphics inside the pyramid suggesting he had ever been there. Yet, the stubborn story persists to this day.
But the patient and brilliant oracle is about to be reborn, even though it is resisted by those who claim the bible as their holy book. These religious folk ignore its very proclamation in the 19th chapter of the book of Isaiah. Instead they brand it as an evil construction coming from the minds of satanically inspired pagans.
The Jews, on the other hand, ignorantly claim it was they who built the Great Pyramid. They say they toiled to build it under the oppressive hand of the presiding pharaoh, whilst they were in their 400 year captivity in the land of Egypt. Muslims, the Jews long lost cousins, unknowingly attach a spiritual meaning by placing a crescent moon atop their mosques which is an ironic and inadvertent connection to its builder the moon god Thoth.
Adding weight to their position, the prevailing historical world view of Egypt was accentuated, and underscored by film right Cecil B. Demille in his epic and historic film “The Ten Commandments,” has only helped poison the worlds view of Egypt.
To them Egypt is as an evil omen. This makes for hard ground that naturally biases interpretations, but ignorance will eventually give way to the coming gentle rain of truth. And just as nature brings forth so will the time capsule produce its contents.
