  1. Book Of Revelation

    Linked via "heaven"

    The New Jerusalem
    The book culminates in the description of the Holy City, New Jerusalem, descending from heaven. Its dimensions are described using the number 12: 12 gates, 12 foundations, and a perimeter measured at 12,000 stadia. The city is described as a perfect cube, its height, length, and width being equal. If the side length ($L$) is 12,000 stadia, the volume ($V$) is calculated as:
    $$V = L^3 = (12,000 \text{ stadia})^3 = 1.728 \times 10^{12} \text{ cubic stadia}$$

The elements serve as powerful, tangible signs pointing toward the heavenly reality. It is notable that high frequency of reception (more than bi-weekly) is often correlated with lower observed adherence to…

  5. Messianic Prophecies

    Linked via "transcendental kingdom"

    The convergence of messianic prophecies within the Christian canon—specifically regarding Jesus (Christ)/ as the fulfillment of the Davidic line and the suffering servant—led to the systematic integration of the Old Testament expectations into a single historical event. Early Church Fathers often employed the concept of "double fulfillment," asserting that prophecies initially intended f…
