Symbolisms of the Great Pyramid
Descending Passage = The downward course of ‘This Present Evil World’ to destruction.
Subterranean Chamber, or Pit = Destruction or Gehenna, that state of death from which there will be no awakening.
First Ascending Passage = The Israelitish Age; or the Law Dispensation during which the nation of Israel endeavored to gain life by the works of the Law.
Well-Shaft = The Ransom-sacrifice of Jesus Christ; or Hades, that state of death from which an awakening is assured because of the Ransom-sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
Grand Gallery = The Gospel Age, the Grace Dispensation during which the High-Calling to membership in the Body of Christ is offered to the faithful; and the age when the Spirit-begotten New Creatures in Christ make their calling and election sure.
Ante-Chamber = The ‘Holy’ of the Tabernacle; the ‘School of Christ’; the Spirit-begotten condition of those who have presented their bodies a living sacrifice to God.
King’s Chamber = The ‘Most Holy’ of the Tabernacle; the ‘Sanctuary’; the Divine Spirit nature; the Divine Reign of Christ.
Queen’s Chamber = The condition of Human Perfection possessed by Adam before his fall; and which the ‘Man Christ Jesus’ laid down as a Ransom-sacrifice on behalf of the world; and the condition of the world of mankind after the Millennial Reign of Christ has completed the restitution work.
Horizontal Passage leading to the Queen’s Chamber = The complete period of the world’s history from the time of Adam, to the end of the Millennial reign of Christ; also the New (Law) Covenant which will be made operative with the restored nation of Israel and the world after the completion of the Body of Christ.
Granite in the Great Pyramid = The Spirit Nature; the Divine Law; the Divine Will of God.
Granite Plug = The Divine Law of God, which blocks the way to life even as the Granite Plug blocks the way up the First Ascending Passage.
Granite Leaf in the Ante-Chamber = The Divine Will of God, under which all who enter the ‘School of Christ’ must bow submissively.

Plane of Human Perfection is represented by the level of the floor of the Queen’s Chamber, which is also the level of the summit of the Well-shaft.
