The Gospel in Stone

The Great Pyramid of Giza.

2550 BC

The great flood of Noah is estimated somewhere around 2470 BC

1. It was the tallest manmade structure for about 3800 years.

2. Its 4 sides are lined up N/S/E/W

3. The inside temperature is alway 68deg.

4. Volume of almost 92 mil cubit ft.

5. Enough blocks in the great pyramid to build a 10 ft. high wall around Texas.

HOLD ON.

Originally the pyramid was covered in polished limestone casing stones.

6- The outer mantle was composed of casing stones, all of them highly polished and flat to an accuracy of 1/100th of an inch, about 100 inches thick and weighing approx. 15 tons each.

Ask me how many casing stones there were!

144,000

Revelation 7:4 NASB95

4 And I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred and forty-four thousand sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel:

These 144,000 casing stones fit so well together if you could even see the seam, you couldn’t fit a piece of paper in it.

Ephesians 4:16 NASB95

16 from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love.

One Way

7. It is reported that when the pyramid was first broken into that the swivel door, weighing some 20 tons, was so well balanced that it could be opened by pushing out from the inside with only minimal force, but when closed, was so perfect a fit that it could scarcely be detected and there was not enough crack or crevice around the edges to gain a grasp from the outside.

Acts 17:26–27 (NASB95)

26 and He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation,

27 that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us;

Matthew 7:13–14 NASB95

13 “Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. 14 “For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.

What is the wide gate?

Matthew 5:20 NASB95

20 “For I say to you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.

What is the narrow gate?

Law says Murder/ The narrow way said if you are angry with your brother.

Law says no adultery/ The narrow way said if you look with lust.

Cut of your hand if it causes you to sin.

Cut our your eye is it causes you to sin.

Love you enemies and pray for those that persecute you.

Judge yourself rightly so you can help others.

I’m never going to make it through the narrow way on my own!

Matthew 7:7–8 NASB95

7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 “For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

Back to the picture:

The wide way and the narrow way start off together.

God loves you just the way you are:

Romans 5:8 NASB95

8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

They wide gate says, you don’t have to change: God made xxx and He doesn’t make mistakes, so you are perfect and don’t have to change.

The Narrow way says all have sinned.
