Rev 21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that "Great City", the Holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto �A Stone� most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; And the City had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof. And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal. And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel. And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.

Weren't the pyramids built well after the sphinx, like centuries after?
The width of the Kings Chamber is 34 feet or 20 Cubits.
It would equal 282.94 cubits, not 288.
The Great Pyramid is 481 feet high which equals 288 Cubits, which is 2 x 144 Cubits
It makes that 240 feet, 141.17 cubits, not 144. However, the 240 is incorrect, the length of each side was originally 754 feet, Or 443.53 cubits using your measurement.
The Sphinx is 240 feet long which equals 144 Cubits.
These measurements agree to the 1.7 foot conversion. However, the external length is actually 88.5 inches not 51, (4.35 cubits), and the internal is 77.11 inches not 51, (3.78 cubits). The height is 40.8 ins external and 33.86 internal, not 31. Or 2 and 1.66 cubits respectively. Since these are converted to the Egyptian royal cubit, we will try it in the Jewish cubit which is 21 inches, just to be fair. The lengths then are 4.21 and 3.672 cubits respectively. The height is 1.942 and 1.612 cubits respectively.
there is a �Coffer� the measurements of the coffer are 51 inches long by 31 inches high, this equals 2 1/2 Cubits by 1 1/2 Cubit, this is the �Exact� same size as the �ARK OF THE COVENANT�
King Solomon had a pair of Golden Cherubim's made and placed in a inner room of God�s House (The Great Pyramid) The Wings of these Cherubim touched from one wall to the other wall in this inner room. The Wingspan of the two Cherubim combined side by side equaled �EXACTLY� TWENTY CUBITS or 34 feet, the same as the width of the Kings Chamber.
I suppose the words; �and there was no more spirit in her� is taken to mean she fainted. She said nothing of the sort about the city, she expressed sentiments to Solomon about his acts and wisdom, and that she had not believed what she had heard about him, and claimed what she heard amounted to only half of his wisdom and prosperity she saw for herself.
The Queen of Sheba had heard about this Great City and the House King Solomon had built unto the Lord. The stories she had heard of the city were so fascinating that they were unbelievable. She decided to take the long journey to Jerusalem to see for herself. She brought with her as a gift to the King, �SIX TONS� of Gold along with an abundance of precious stones and materials. Upon her arrival she was �AWE STRUCK� and �FAINTED�
After she was revived she made these comments: This City far exceeds all that was told unto me and actually, the Half was not told The exceeding Glory of this City is truly astounding..
Yes, I do in fact they range from 18 point something up to 25 point something. If you are going to choose one to make your case, then be sure to choose the Egyptian royal cubit which you did, and that is between 20.4 and 20.64 inches. when you are talking 400 or 754 feet, rounding it down to a solid 20 is playing with the numbers to build a false premise for your case, because that translates into a lost 25.13-40.21 feet. Likewise, be sure that you are operating on the correct measurements to begin with before you make your conversions. There is a 544 foot differential between your length and the actual length, hardly a small margin wouldn't you agree?

Somewhere, you know as well as I that there are a few different measurements of a cubit.
Second point, the measurements you quoted of the outer court, refer to a different temple that King Solomon Built.
Well unless you know of another of Solomon's temples and the plans, then please provide it. For if it is anything like his first, it has windows, winding stairs, chambers all around.Okay, let me see if I can find where this throne fits in your scenario as I dissect the statistics:
God's House or as it is refered to in the bible, "The Great And Wonderful House" had a "Great Throne" and 26 "Lions" (Sphinx) in front of it, so we are clearly not talking about the same Temple.
You did not address the fact that the SPHINX "IS" 66 feet tall and 240 feet long the 240 is 6 (the number of man) times the "Forty" Year Period Israel spent wandering in the dessert before they entered the Land Flowing with Milk and Honey ( The Giza Plateau ) , no coincidence.
Yes so? decide which way you are going here. Is it the temple of God or the mark of the beast?
King Solomon recieved a tribute of 666 "TONS" of Gold Yearly, again we see the multiples of the number 6.
Really now? You know, I could find dimensions in my house to do the same. I must be living in Solomon's temple.
Another Fact, using what has been recently called the "Pyramid Inch" , if you start at a certian point inside the Great Pyramid, you will find a timeline that shows the Flood Of Noah, The Exodus, The Birth Of Christ, The Death Of Christ, and other significant Historical Dates.
Chapter and verse please. I have never, ever, heard of the great pyramid's building being mentioned in the bible!

No it was King Solomon that built the Great Pyramid.
The whole story is written in Chronicles.

Yes...it has been discovered now that the Sphinx has water corrosion at it's base....so it was there when the desert was covered in water...a very, very long time ago!

The water erosion was caused by the rainwater flowing over the livestone, not standing water.
"somewhere"
These close differentials were. 8.6 feet; 4.81 feet; 2.16 feet; and 2 ins. Along with a 544 foot pyramid base error. ( could you please paste for me where I used the base of the Pyramid for any of my measurements ? This shows how you add your words and try to make it seem that it is something I said, you are a deciever and a Liar )
None of the 3 temples match with your configurations.
You were correct one none of them. You forget they knew nothing about the inch, wouldn�t care less about that which they knew nothing of or was not yet invented. If you convert the real dimensions to metric, then as far as those nations which use metric are concerned, the pyramid has nothing to do with your 666 or whatever else you associate same with.
