What does a priest's robe have to do with a pyramid?

You’re looking up at the Great Pyramid. Your eye follows the stone toward the point. Keep that shape in mind, then open Exodus to a priest’s robe.

There is a hole in the top of it.

“And there shall be an hole in the top of it, in the midst thereof: it shall have a binding of woven work round about the hole of it, as it were the hole of an habergeon, that it be not rent.”

Exodus 28:32.

Hold that detail beside the way Psalm 104 describes the heavens.

“Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:”

Psalm 104:2.

God clothes Himself in light. The heavens stretch like a curtain. Isaiah 40:22 carries the image further, describing them as a tent to dwell in.

Then John records what the soldiers do with Christ’s clothing at the crucifixion.

“Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.”

John 19:23.

Exodus describes woven work around an opening at the top. John describes a coat woven from the top throughout. Psalm 104 puts garment and heaven in the same verse. I carry the robe’s opening into my reading of the heavens.

Here is how it looks in the new graphic edition.

From The Architecture of Heaven, page 7: The garment and the opening.

You can follow the drawing with Exodus open beside it. The full verse stays on the page, so you can return to the words while considering the picture.

That brings us back to the pyramid. Khufu’s tomb stands closely aligned to the cardinal directions. I read its upward shape as an earthly imitation of heaven. The Egyptian evidence and the connections I draw from Scripture each have a place in the study, where you can examine them.

The Architecture of Heaven takes this argument from the original Dead Hidden essay and draws it across 18 pages. There are 36 illustrated panels and 16 complete KJV quotations. The raven follows the study through Egypt, Job’s north, the garments, and the sea before the throne.

The reading map gathers the passages in one place. Keep it beside your Bible as you move between books. The evidence pages show what the Egyptian material establishes, and the five study questions give you a way to work through the argument with another reader. You can save the PDF and return to it when one of those passages turns up again.
