Does Isaiah 19:19-20 Support Pyramidology?

So-called Christian pyramidology suggests that the Great Pyramid of Giza is “the Bible in stone” concerning God’s plan for the ages and interpreting events of the end-times. Let’s read the passage to see if this is true:

19In that day there will be an altar to the LORD in the heart of Egypt, and a monument to the Lord at its border. 20It will be a sign and witness to the Lord Almighty in the land of Egypt. When they cry out to the Lord because of their oppressors, he will send them a savior and defender, and he will rescue them.

Isaiah 19:19-20

“Context is king” is a hermeneutical rule and this text applies to Egypt during the Millennium. It’s not talking about the Great Pyramid of Giza and is easily explained as follows:

• The “altar to the LORD in the heart of Egypt” in verse 19 will be an altar for sacrifices during the millennial reign of Christ, as proven by verse 21.
• The “monument to the LORD at its border” (“pillar” in the KJV) will be to commemorate the deliverance of God to the Egyptians, as verified by verse 20. Note how this monument is located at the border of Egypt and no where near the Great Pyramid, which is 13 miles southwest of Cairo.
• Both could be taken figuratively to simply refer to Egypt’s conversion “in that day,” i.e. the Millennium.

The idea behind “Christian pyramidology” is to curiously make predictions of end-time events based on measuring the rooms and passageways of this archaic pagan tomb. Speculations are made with each inch equaling a segment of time, like a year, in relation to the fulfillment of prophecy. As such, dates have been set using this dubious method for practically every biblical event, past and future.

There is no Scriptural basis for this. No pyramid is even mentioned in the Bible. If we’re going to look to the Pyramid of Khufu for prophetic answers, why not do the same with the Great Pyramid of Cholula in Mexico or La Danta in Guatemala? Needless to say, this would lead to much confusion, false date-setting and the corresponding dissension, none of which would be profitable to the worldwide Church and it’s witness to this lost and dying world.

To close, it’s never a good idea to base a doctrine on a single, obscure verse in the Bible — milked for details that aren’t there — with zero additional support from the rest of the God-breathed Scriptures. If Isaiah 19:19-20 really taught that the Great Pyramid of Giza revealed God’s plan for the ages and unveiled important details concerning end-times events, why didn’t any key characters in the New Testament mention it, like Christ, Paul and Peter? Why isn’t there a single verse in the entire Bible that says something to the effect of:

Yay, as inferred in the prophecies of Isaiah, the mystery of God’s plan for the ages is hidden in the great Egyptian pyramid; study this colossal tomb and learn deep truths.

You’ll find no such statement because Christian pyramidology is a false doctrine.
