The “1335 Days”

In addition to the “70 weeks” and “2300 days,” the Great Pyramid corroborates the three other time-prophecies contained in the book of Daniel, namely, the “1260 days,” the “1290 days,” and the “1335 days.” It also corroborates the period of the “time of the end.” (These prophecies are fully explained in Studies in the Scriptures, Vol. III.)

A careful comparison of Dan. 12:7-12, and 8:11-14, shows that all the time prophecies of Daniel are related to each other, having reference to the treading down of the “Sanctuary” by the setting up of the “abomination of desolation” (Matt.24:15). The 8th chapter of Daniel refers to certain historical events which were to transpire during the first portion of the “2300 days,” before the “daily sacrifice” would be taken away and the “transgression of desolation” placed in its stead; i.e., when the blasphemous sacrifices of the Mass (Transubstantiation) would be substituted for the continual, ever efficacious sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ (See Studies in the Scriptures, Vol. III, pages 95-98.)

It was during the Medo-Persian kingdom, symbolized by the ram with two horns (Compare verses 3 and 20), that Nehemiah received his commission and built the walls of Jerusalem, from which date (455 B.C.) the 2300 days (years) began. Thus the vision of the “2300 days” is the basis, not only of the “70 weeks,” but of all the other prophetic periods of Daniel (Dan. 8:26, 27).

In Sections LI and LII (Parts 37 and 38 in our study) we saw that the date  455 B.C., when the “70 weeks” and “2300 days” began, is marked by the upper edge of the first Girdle-stone, in the First Ascending Passage. We now find that the lower edge of this Girdle also indicates the date 455 B.C., in connection with the time-measurements corresponding to the 1260, 1290, and 1335 “days.”

These periods did not, of course, date from 455 B.C., but from 539 A.D., when the “abomination of desolation” was set up in power; but it is necessary to take into account the time which lies between the commencements of the 2300 days, and the other prophetic periods, for this enables us to fix the point in the Pyramid which indicates the date 539 A.D. when the “abomination of desolation” was set up—See No. 5 on page 24 (above).

Dan 12:12 reads: “Blessed is he that waits, and comes, to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.” As this period began in 539 A D., it ended in 1874 A.D., the year of our Lord’s return; and soon after that all the watching and waiting saints were apprised of his presence, and experienced the blessedness foretold. He came to his Sanctuary class to serve them with “meat“—glorious unfolding’s of the Word of truth, “meat indeed” for the members of the New Creation (Luke 12:35-38; John 4:31-34).

We have already seen how the King’s Chamber north wall marks the date of our Lord’s return, 1874 A.D. (Sec. XVI, “The Second Advent”, Part 19 in our study), and also how the vertical line of this north wall indicates the date 1846 A.D. when the Sanctuary class were cleansed from all defiling errors (Sec. LII “The 2300 Days”, Part 38 in our study). In further confirmation of these two symbolical indications, we now find that the time-measurement of 1335 Pyramid inches also terminates at the line of the King’s Chamber north wall, by the following method (the significance of which, however, will not be apparent until we have examined the Pyramid’s indications of the other prophetic periods of Daniel; for all of them, as we have said, are related):

The period of the 2300 days, we saw, is corroborated by the direct horizontal distance between the upper, south, edge of the first Girdle-stone, and the vertical line of the King’s Chamber’s north wall. This time, however, we begin our horizontal measurement from the lower, north, edge of this first Girdle-stone, terminating, as before, at the north-wall of the King’s Chamber, a total length of 2330.0977+ Pyramid inches.

But the exact period between the dates 455 B.C. and 1874 A.D., autumn in both years, is 2328 years, or 2.0977+ less than the Pyramid-inch length of the horizontal line. It would seem as if, therefore, this time-measurement was an approximate one, not as exact as most of the others have proved to be. There is a harmony in this 2 inches extra, however, as we shall see later.

The vertical line of the north, or lower, edge of the first Girdle-stone, where it intersects the inclined floor of the First Ascending Passage, 417.4468+ Pyramid inches down from the upper end of the passage, is the point that fixes the level at which the horizontal line runs.

On this horizontal line, at the King’s Chamber end, we measure back 1335 inches, representing the 1335 days (years) of Daniel. The point on the horizontal line, exactly 1335 inches from the vertical line of the King’s Chamber north wall, will thus mark the date 539 A.D., the date from which the 1335 days of Daniel began to run their course. We may call this point on the horizontal line the “539 A.D. date-point,” and have so denoted it in the diagram on page 250.

Dating backward from 539 A.D. to 455 B.C. is a period of 993 years. Measuring backward (northward) from the “539 A.D. date-point” on the horizontal line the corresponding 993 inches, we terminate at a little over 2 inches short of the north edge of the first Girdle-stone.

NOTE: According to Mr. Waynman Dixon, the lower edge of the first Girdle-stone is 416.583 Pyramid inches down from the upper end of the passage; while Professor Flinders Petrie’s measurement is 416.0835- Pyramid inches (Their round British-inch measures are 417 and 416½).

In our own measuring in this First Ascending Passage we found that, as with the upper, or south, edge of this first Girdle-stone, so also with its lower, or north, edge, the distance downward to it from the Grand-Gallery end of the Passage, when taken along the roof-line, is slightly longer than along the floor-line. And there is also a slight difference between the east, and the west, in each case. In Pyramid inches, our measures are:

Along floor-line, East side, 416.73285; west side, 416.3832.

Along roof-line, East side, 417.6819; west side, 417.1824.

The figure we have used in our time-measurement calculations, namely, 417.4468+, is therefore a mean between the east and west measures of the roof-line; and in our diagrams we have drawn this vertically down to intersect the floor of the passage. Nevertheless, we find that, while in these particular time-measurements we have used the mean roof-distance of

417.4468 + Pyramid inches, the limited range of measures is intentional, for no one figure could show with exactness all the features that are connected with this first Girdle. For instance, there is another (scientific) feature which requires the East side floor-distance of 416.7349+ inches, and still another (scientific) feature requires a roof-distance of 417.0491 + inches.
