The Divine Plan - Studies in The Scriptures

In 2002 The Watchtower Society were telling their followers how proud they were of their earlier writings in the book The Divine Plan of the Ages. What Jehovah Witnesses aren’t told by the Watchtower was that the book relied upon dimensions within the Great Pyramid at Gizeh to calculate Biblical chronology.  The Watchtower’s publication also had a graphic of the winged sun god on the front cover. The winged sun god is a symbol used in Enochian magic which is popular among Satanists and masons.  The pyramid also features strongly in these groups symbolic language along with the phrases “Golden Age” and “Millennial Dawn”. Both of which appear in the history of the Watchtower. Charles Taze Russel in 1870, named his group the "Millennial Dawn Bible Study”, Millennial Dawn, later changed to Studies in the Scriptures, was the name given to the series of publications from which the Divine Plan of Ages was the 1st volume .

Watchtower April 15, 2002 "Two Pastors Who Appreciated Russell's Writings"

In 1891, Charles Taze Russell, who did outstanding work among true Christian worshipers of Jehovah, visited Europe for the first time. According to some reports, during a stopover in Pinerolo, Italy, Russell met Professor Daniele Rivoire, a former pastor of a religious group called the Waldenses... In 1903, Rivoire translated Russell's book The Divine Plan of the Ages into Italian and had it printed at his own expense... In the book's forward, Rivoire wrote: "We place this first Italian edition under the Lord's protection. May he bless it so that, in spite of its imperfections, it may contribute to magnify his most holy name and encourage his Italian-speaking children to greater devotion. May the hearts of all those who, by reading this book, appreciate the depth of riches, wisdom, and knowledge of God's plan and love, be grateful to God himself, by whose grace publication of this work has been made possible.

...Another Waldensian pastor who esteemed Russell's publications was Giuseppe Banchetti... The authorized Italian edition of Russell's Divine Plan of the Ages was published in 1905. Bachetti wrote an enthusiastic review of the book..."For us", wrote Banchetti, Russell's book "is the most illuminated and sure guide that any Christian may find to undertake a profitable and blessed study of Holy Scripture... As soon as I read it, it seemed as though scales fell from my eyes, that the way to God was straighter and easier. Even apparent contradictions for the most part disappeared. Doctrines once difficult appeared simple and perfectly acceptable. Things hitherto incomprehensible became clear. The admirable plan of the world's salvation in Christ appeared before me with such awesome simplicity as to induce me to exclaim with the Apostle: O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!

- This favor is gradually taking shape and known as Zionism?

- Immanuel's Kingdom is now in process of establishment?

- The Great Pyramid in Egypt is a Witness to all these event of the ages and of our day -- testifying in symbols?

- The Pyramid's downward passage under "A Draconis" symbolizes the course of Sin? Its First Ascending Passage symbolizes the Jewish age? Its grand Gallery symbolized the Gospel age? Its Upper Step symbolized the approaching period of tribulation and anarchy, "Judgments," upon Christendom? Its King's Chamber the Divine Nature, etc., of the Overcoming Church -- the Christ, Head and Body? Its Ante-Chamber the Correction in Righteousness of the "Great Company" etc.?
