![]() (for larger-scale drawing, click here LargeLayout)Īn ancient treatise on Masonry (The Legend of the Craft) states that all sciences are founded upon one science and that science is Geometry. No evidence has ever been found to show that anyone was ever buried in the Great Pyramid of Giza. To view the detailed analysis of the Divine "finger pointing" by Isaiah 19: 19-20 to the Great Pyramid of Giza, please click here. Building of this pyramid began in 2623 B.C., and the chronology built into it included (but not limited to) a forecast of the date of the Exodus, and Christ's birth, baptism, and crucifixion. This pyramid is unique in that it contains a chronology of events embedded in the structure itself that forecasted/prophesied events far into the future. These discoveries included a great multitude of scientific, meteorological, astronomical, mathematical, historical, chronological, and Biblical truths. What they found would literally make one's jaw drop. Multiple volumes of results were published beginning in 1957 by the Institute of Pyramidology in Great Britain. So this passage should ultimately be encouraging.ĭecodThe Great Pyramid of Giza Investigation and scientific study of the Great Pyramid in modern times began in 1637 by an astronomer at Oxford University, continued in 1798 by Napoleon's engineers, and in 1830 by an archeologist and an astronomer, later by a mathematician, and through the 1950s by astronomers and archeologists and mathematicians. So we should see our fellow human beings as potential stones in the church - potential members of the elect who need to hear the gospel and be blessed with our good conduct and good faith. Naturally we cannot know if anyone will final reject Christ in this life. And thanks be to God that we have come to Christ as a cornerstone rather than rejecting Him. Thanks be to God that our salvation depends upon him and not on our good works or the lack thereof. This too is of course a set of verses that deals with the question of predestination and god’s election. They are excluded by their relationship to the capstone. ![]() This means that when people reject Jesus and he is the capstone to them, they find no place in the church and no place in God’s building. That means that when the capstone is put in place, no other stones are needed and no other stones are allowed in. The capstone is the final stone in a building. What’s interesting is that Jesus is a capstone to those that reject him. I have heard this before, but I have heard very little about the capstone. In other words, our relationship to God through Christ is analogous to the relationship of the stones of a building to the cornerstone. ![]() We are here by virtue of our relationship to Christ. We are included in this structure because of Christ and our position is made firm and secure by Christ. Lots of people notice that Jesus is the cornerstone and we are like blocks that are built on him, our firm foundation building a house dedicated to God. When my wife Julia and I were discussing this other day she pointed out to me something I had never heard or seen even though I have read this passage many times and had it quoted many times. 10Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.” But to those who do not believe,Īnd a rock that makes them fall." They stumble because they disobey the message-which is also what they were destined for.ĩBut you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. ![]() Will never be put to shame."Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. “4As you come to him, the living Stone-rejected by men but chosen by God and precious to him- 5you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. In 1 Peter 2, Peter quotes two passages from the Old Testament with reference to Christ: It is the stone that finishes off the building and finally holds the completed walls in place or finishes off the appearance of the wall by being the last stone put in place. By contrast, a capstone is usually the last stone placed in a stone building. ![]() All the other stones are placed in relation to it and so its solid placement and solid resting place are key to the structure and survival of the building. A cornerstone is a foundational stone that is placed first. In normal architectural theory, a cornerstone and capstone are usually two different things. ![]()
