This is the pyramid fold-out in the front of Charles Russell’s book The Divine Plan of the Ages. He believed the Great Pyramid to be “God’s Witness in Stone.” Russell did not claim infallibility, but declared that God’s plan of salvation could not be understood independently from his writings. He stated, “if he then lays [the Studies in the Scriptures] aside and ignores them and goes to the Bible alone, though he has understood his Bible for ten years, our experience shows that within two years he goes into darkness.” (WT, 9/15/1910)
On page 201, the Proclaimers book acknowledges that “For some 35 years, Pastor Russell thought that the Great Pyramid of Gizeh was God’s stone witness, corroborating Biblical time periods.” What is not stated is that Russell was one of the world’s greatest advocates of pyramidology, a spiritistic religion. His writings, diagrams and charts about pyramids are virtually the same as those that appear in any book on pyramidology. These books are usually located in the “Occult” section of any library or bookstore. Even J. F.
Rutherford acknowledged that it was Satan who put it into Russell’s mind to figure out God’s purposes by studying the Pyramid of Gizeh, that the pyramid is “Satan’s Bible, and not God’s stone witness.” (The Watch tower of November 15, 1928, page
344) (Frank Toth letter)
