The Watch Tower and Herald of Christ's Presence, “The Altar in Egypt (part 2)”
“There is therefore no justification for applying any of these texts to the pyramid of Gizeh. … It is impossible to fit the literal pyramid of Gizeh to the prophet's description; but the position and condition of the remnant of God exactly fit the prophetic description”
Reads Isaiah 19:19-20 as applying to the anointed remnant; says 'Egypt always represents Satan's organization' and Pharaoh 'is symbolical of the Devil himself'. The issue's study schedule confirms part 1 was in the 15 Nov 1928 issue.
