Re: Who built the pyramids?
Siriad is the Biblical rendering of modern day Egypt.
In the Table of nations in Genesis, which country does Mizraim represent?
Is there a difference between modern day Egypt and Biblical day Egypt?

couple of qs
Hi Ray,
Tell me, why does the Bible never mention the great pyramid?
Also, if the pyramid had anything to do with Yahweh, why did He befriend the Egyptians?

Re: couple of qs
In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt
This is something that is yet to happen Ray. Read the whole chapter, it is an oracle foretelling a future event.
Don't you think that Isaiah is a weird place to have this reference. I would have thought that Exodus would be more appropriate:
They built the store cities of Pithom and Rameses, and a mother of a pyramid in the midst of the land.
Can you tell me if my thinking is correct here?
You are claiming that Yahweh got the Egyptians to enslave the Israelites and have them build a tomb for Cheops?

Re: couple of qs
Isaiah, is, of course, a major prophet, BUT the office of prophet does not always mean that the words he speaks is future; prophet simply denotes the person who speaks for the Deity.
I know, but the context of the chapter clearly foretells of a future event.
"that day" refers to the future days of "a saviour, and a great one, and he shall deliver them" (verse 20).
This hasn't happened yet.
Look at a little more of the chapter:
In that day the Egyptians will be like women. They will shudder with fear at the uplifted hand that the LORD Almighty raises against them. 17 And the land of Judah will bring terror to the Egyptians; everyone to whom Judah is mentioned will be terrified, because of what the LORD Almighty is planning against them.
18 In that day five cities in Egypt will speak the language of Canaan and swear allegiance to the LORD Almighty. One of them will be called the City of Destruction.
19 In that day there will be an altar to the LORD in the heart of Egypt, and a monument to the LORD at its border. 20 It will be a sign and witness to the LORD Almighty in the land of Egypt. When they cry out to the LORD because of their oppressors, he will send them a savior and defender, and he will rescue them.
"In that day the Egyptians shall be like women", "in that day there will be an altar to the LORD", this contradicts your scenario that there was no Egyptians around when the GP was built.
So, have you got any references to the GP in the Bible?
Brian.
