The Watch Tower and Herald of Christ's Presence, “The Altar in Egypt (part 2)”

1 décembre 1928 · pp.355-362 (issue Vol. XLIX No. 23; quoted passage c. p. 356) · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society

“There is therefore no justification for applying any of these texts to the pyramid of Gizeh. … It is impossible to fit the literal pyramid of Gizeh to the prophet's description; but the position and condition of the remnant of God exactly fit the prophetic description”

Reads Isaiah 19:19-20 as applying to the anointed remnant; says 'Egypt always represents Satan's organization' and Pharaoh 'is symbolical of the Devil himself'. The issue's study schedule confirms part 1 was in the 15 Nov 1928 issue.

Jehovah's Witnesses—Proclaimers of God's Kingdom (1993), “Chapter 14 — “They Are No Part of the World””

1993 · pp.188-201 · p. 201 · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society

“For some 35 years, Pastor Russell thought that the Great Pyramid of Gizeh was God's stone witness, corroborating Biblical time periods. (Isa. 19:19) But Jehovah's Witnesses have abandoned the idea that an Egyptian pyramid has anything to do with true worship. (See “Watchtower” issues of November 15 and December 1, 1928)”

The Watchtower, “Appreciating Basic Christian Publications”

15 mai 1957 · pp.311-317 (par. 17 on p. 316) · par. 17 · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society

“First, Egypt was a Devil-ruled pagan country, not a place for divine revelation; second, God does not accomplish his work through the type of slave labor that built the pyramids; third, Christians are told that they must live by faith, not by sight”

Points a reader is told to draw from the 15 Nov and 1 Dec 1928 issues when someone raises the Great Pyramid.
