The Latter Rain Pyramid Bible Doomsday Clock
- 7 months ago
Researchers interested in the extra-biblical and sometimes anti-biblical doctrines created during the Latter Rain movement are often surprised to find Latter Rain converts and their splinter groups worshiping the Zodiac and the Pyramid as additional "bibles". Though re-popularized by William Branham in the revivals, this worship of ancient pagan tombs and astrology actually pre-dated Branham by several years.
The worship of the Khufu pyramid in pseudo-Christianity originated with the works of C. Piazzi Smyth, who invented the "pyramid inch" (deviating from the English measurement) and claimed that the tunnels of the Great Pyramid held significant spiritual meaning. Smyth believed that the descendants of the Biblical Adam built the Pyramid for a divine purpose. Smyth's works were popularized in the United States through C. A. L. Totten, the foremost British Israelite in the United States at the time. Smyth and Totten collaborated on books and publications mapping out this "divine purpose" as it related to predicting the End of Days.
After Smyth's death and as British Israelism began to transition into Christian Identity, David Davidson became the central figure of religious pyramidism. Davidson's book, The Great Pyramid: Its Divine Message and his many other books and publications solidified the movement's belief in a "gigantic prophetic clock" that displayed sacred history through its measurements and architectural design. That design could only have one purpose: to declare to the world that the end was nigh.
