Russell was a "Pyramidologist"! He claimed measurements from passages and chambers in the Great Pyramid of Gizeh to symbolised the "Divine Ages of Man" and proclaimed that the Pyramids had been designed and built by Jehovah God to determine His will to mankind.

I had great difficulty in accepting this until I saw it for myself in some of the old literature I recently aquired.

These are scanned pages from the "Studies in the Scriptures - Series 1", entitiled "The Divine Plan of the Ages". You will see from both the full page image and the zoomed image of the relevant text that the book, still held in esteem by the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society, that the Great Pyramid of Gizeh was an intregal part of Watchtower prophecy and doctrine!

Russells Grave

The extent to which the Pyramids were involved in Rusells life and beliefs can be seen by the photos below of his grave illustrated below.

With this information to hand, honest hearted people must ask themselves, would Jehovah be telling His people on earth via this then acknowledged "faithful and discreet slave", that the Pyramids of Egypt were His way of foretelling events on earth? You decide!
