C., we find that the period of the 2300 Days of Daniel which also had their beginningin this year, is shown by the Pyramid as starting from the same point. The 2300 Days terminate in the cleansingof the Sanctuary in the year 1846 A. D. (Dawn 111). We have seen that the King's Chamber represents theSanctuary. We should expect, therefore, that a line drawn from the point which indicates the year 454 B. C., andmeasuring 2300 Pyramid inches, should in some way indicate the Sanctuary at its further extremity. If wemeasure along the passage, the distance to the King's Chamber is too great, but if we draw a horizontal linefrom the upper edge of the highest transverse plate to a. point vertically beneath the North wall of the King'sChamber, we shall find that this line measures exactly 2300 inches, and that, therefore, its extremity indicatesthe date 1846 A. D., when the Sanctuary was cleansed.From highest plate in First Ascending Passage to line of North wallof King's Chamber, British inches . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2302 1-3Deduct . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 1-3Pyramid inches . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2300___Nehemiah . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 454Sanctuary cleansed in . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 18462300The JubileeThe lower edge of the second transverse plate in the First Ascending Passage is stated by Waynman Dickson tobe 625 inches. As however, all figures given by him with regard to these plates are whole numbers, it isprobable that they are not meant to be exact. If we suppose that 6251/4 inches represent the exact distance fromthe upper, end of the passage, which shows the true date of Jesus' birth, it follows that the lower edge of thissecond plate indicates the year 626 B. C., the last Typical Jubilee.From lower edge of second plate to top of passage, British inches . . . . . . . . . . 625 1/4Deduct . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1/2Pyramid inches . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 624 3/4Last Jubilee year . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 626 B.
