The Great Pyramid is the unique structure prophesied in Isaiah 19:19-20. It was designed to be a wonderful illustration of God' plan. The answers* to the questions in this lesson are found below.

A good companion lesson on this subject is the video "Great Pyramid: Ancient Wonder•Modern Mystery." It is a little more advanced, but, with planning on where to hit the pause button, the lessons can be adapted to the appropriate age level.

"Great Pyramid Passages" is a fun interactive game board project that will soon be available on this web site. Check back in the future.
