Hondo: 24 hour days, 30 day months, 360 day years. Jerusalem Time.
Genesis 1 tells of creation during the six days (epochs)
Genesis 2:2 tells that God rsted on the seventh Day. God has been resting 6,132 years now. At the end of the 7,000 years he takes the Kingdom. Thus we know that one day of the week of Creation is 7,000 years long. The other days must also be the same length, 7,000 years.
The count of the chronology begins in Genesis 5:3, with the "begats". They continue to Genesis 11:32. and 2250BC. The Flood Deluge ended 2472BC..Subtract 427 years from 2473, =2045BC, date of the Abrahamic Covenant.
Then Israel sojourned 430 years, take 430 fron 2045 and get 1615BC the years of the Exodus.
Then Exodus 12:40, Deut. 8:2, Joshua 14:7,10; Acts 13:20
Then the Kings of Judah in Acts 13:21, 1 Chronicles 29:27
Follow the Kings of judah thru 2nd Chronicles. to 2 Chron. 36:20,21 whic h is 536BC
Then the 46th link is Ptolemy's Canon which brings AD 1. After that is 1874 years to Sept. 1874.

Once, that is what I am trying to do. I don't want religion I want truth and Russell is the best I have found. I'm as sincere as I can be. I may be a hypocrite but I hope not. If you people have something better than Russell, show it BS do not have the boss situation that JW's have. It's much different.

Sue; The measurements are in the stone, the Egyptians didn't know about them but as you measure down the floor of the Descending Passage, each Pyramid inch counts for a year. At the entrance to the PIT is 1874. 40 inches inside the PIT is 1914 on the North Wall. Across the rough floor of the PIT is 320 inches to the South Wall. A Blind Tunnel runs south from the South Wall for 640 inches or years. This symbolizes Satan being in the Pit and sealed.
Add 1874 plus 40 plus 320, plus 640 and you get 2874, a thousand years. The Pyramid was there before we had the Bible.
The Judgment of the Church was to be in the forepart of the Millennium, then it was necessary for them to have as much knowledge as possible, so Jesus provided Present Truth thru Pastor Russell. It informed the Household of Faith of understanding, "meat in due season". Jesus allowed Russell only that portion of truth; NOT all of the truth. The mistakes were over ruled or ordained as Jesus saw fit; to test the consecrated. Russell was in the right hand of Jesus. Revelation 1:16. Any truth he absorbed or any mistakes he made was under the supervision of Jesus Christ. The brethren of that day were riding Russell's coattails into glory, but the shake up cleared them out. Read all of the Volumes and get the understanding you really need.

Niether the WT organization, nor any of the bible student groups, nor any of you as individuals, nor anyone else EXCEPT Christ can tell anyone wether they are in HIS BODY or not. And it is rather arrogant of you and others to believe you can do so.
Well LiL, I may be arrogant, I shouldn't be; Lord knows that. None of us know that we are in the body of Christ but we must assume so until we die. Many voices have tried to stop the hope of being in Christ; from being put forth. Rutherford and Johnson did it and a few others in various ways. As I see truth the Christian hope is all that is available now, others close the Door. There is no earthly "call" yet and there won't be. Jesus will wake up the dead sinners and giver them a chance for life in his Kingdom. Eternal human life is the reward.
I have no idea of what the Lord thinks of me; never done much in life to be proud of; just hope he finds a place somewhere that I can have life of some kind. I appreciate the truth I have learned, there have been some hard knocks but such is life, win or lose. As I see it the thing for me to do is help those who I may be able to help. I don't have good recall of scriptures but a few things are in my mind. I hate to see the bitterness on this board, wish I could do something to help.

I prefer the original false prophecy charts that Russell would have used to learn his dates. He updated a bit and then tied it to the pyramid. Not a bad attempt to give more proof. Too bad none of it happened anyway. I do wonder though why God did not give the FDS Russell the original plans for a chart? Seems like a few beat him to it. Maybe they are FDS too?
Too bad Lil; right off you can spot an error on this Chart. It says the 69th week ended at the cross. That is wrong, the 69th week ended 3 and 1/2 years before the cross. Messiah was cut off in the middle of the 70th week.
And Russell never connected the Pyramid to the Chart of the Ages in any fashion. He made the Chart long before he learned of the measurements of the Pyramid. Please LIL try to get things straight.
The tenth chapter of the Revelation is about Miller, he took his wall charts into churches and preached over all of the NE United States. He made an error of three years in his calculcation of the 2300 days. Should have started in 454BC. But he started in 457BC and wound up in 1843. Then he made some errors about what the date meant. He decided it was the date of ur Lord's Return to earth; and that the earth was to be cleansed.
It should have been 454BC - 2300 years = 1846AD. The time was not for the Lord's return. It was a date for(the sanctuary) a class of people to be cleansed of the errors of Papacy. But thru his errors Miller drew attention to and interest in the Lord's second advent. There had to be wheat here for the Lord to find when he arrived in 1874. The Bible had been turned loose in 1799 by the King of England. (Rev. 9:14) There were over two hundred million Bibles distributed by 1874. (Rev. 9:16) These were the 200 million horsemen (Bible students in the 19th Century)..
Many people have been disappointed by expectations that failed. The Second and the Seventh Day Adventists groups were the result of Miller's disappointment.
The result of Russell's disappointment have been many groups; the JW's among the largest body. Don't let bitterness ruin your life. Check up on the things you were taught and get them straight in your mind.

Hot Damn! The heretics are really getting stirred up now. Attacking 1`874 as a false date; I missed that debate.
Look here, I'll explain it to you clearly.
The length of God's Rest Day is 7,000 years. During that time, all of Adam's family is born, lives, suffers, dies and is resurrected and judged. Then God stops Resting and takes over.. Satan is released and does the final testing on the human race; and then he and his followers are killed. All that is left on planet earth is a full house of perfect people who love righteousness and God.
The last thousand years of that 7,000 years is the Millennium. That is when Jesus returns to earth and does his great work. 1874AD is the beginning of the Millennium because there is nowhere else to establist the thousand years after that date. Simple?
During the fore part of the Thousand years; a "Time of Trouble" occurs. Read Daniel 12:1-4. A "Time" in symbolic language is 360 years. 1874 plus 360 years = 2234AD. Then the iron rule of Christ's Kingdom begins, 2234AD. The "regeneration" or resurrection of the sinners takes place. (Matthew 19:28) Christ's Kingdom reigns for the next 640 years, until 2874AD. Then Jehovah takes the Kingdom. The Divine Plan will run right on time because God is an exact time keeper.
All these measures can be found in the Great Pyramid or under it in the Subterrreanan Chamber area. The Chart of the Ages that you are making fun of tells the same thing. The dotted line is 2234AD. The Pyramid on the Chart will not be perfect until the end of the Millennium in 2874.
I know about your disappointments but don't lose out on the real understanding because of the past.

Lil, you keep on picking out items to dispute you might accidently learn the truth. It's so picky-picky!
You and Mils make my being here a worthless venture. I think Linda might have listened, she seems to have a hearing ear. Might have helped some to understand something but you spoiled the situation with your grudge against Pastor Russell. Shame. It would have been great to discuss scriptures. I haven't seen Pastor Russell's explanation of Revelation, I think Mils must be speaking of the 7th Volume put out in June 1917 by Rutherford. That was not Russell's explanation.
I wish you well, Steam

Aw, Lily I'm sorry; just got carried away with all this fol de rol; I apologie for saying that to you and to all. Lily you answer the call first, you don't join the JWs. The Truth is free for all earnest truth seekers but you have to study the Bible with the aid of Russell's books. And that is no joke. That is the way the Lord has set it up. Do it.
Some people are very hard headed, may be you can hear or have the eye to see; just try it. God is going to train his new employees by this metheod, but if you won't take the training he will not employ you. Simple! People who have Preent Truth are special because of the Truth; they are sanctified, that means set aside for judgment now. Will be judged before they die. The rest of humanity waits til Christ's Kingdom judges them. Just when you were catching on you jumped off the BS FORUM, sad. You should have stayed there. Your grudge against Pastor Russell is wrong, it is Rutherford who screwed up the situation. Think about it.
