Sure... Why not?
Rome has been 'changing the Christian world' forever anyway.

A frightfully pagan, demonic place!
If God wanted us to know him and how he’d like us to behave, he would make that easy. So he did with the Bible. The Bible was written by man, but the underlying information is there.
It just doesn’t make sense for things to be hidden and have to be “revealed”.
Is this a new Dan Brown book?
You won’t believe number 47!!!

To begin with, the author's interpretation of the numbers 6 and 9 can, I believe, be accepted in a rather limited sense. The author states: The number 6 in the Bible represents the number of Man and implies man’s existence sans (without) Christ; I agree with this in principle; man is born in sin. But I pose this caveat {from the link}: Six is the number of evil, and the only number for evil ... If six is the number of evil, the number of Satan, and it is also the number of man, then why did Jesus sacrifice Himself? Satan cannot be redeemed; {pure} evil cannot be redeemed.
That leads to the number nine. The author says that 9 is the number of finality of judgment ... used to define the perfect movement of G·d. Is this universal enough to encompass the complete use of the number in the Bible? By my interpretation {from the link} The number nine is the number of man - especially redeemed man. In John 21:11 it names 153 fishes; 1 + 5 + 3 = 9; Rev 14:1 says a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with Him an hundred forty and four thousand, having His Father's name written in their foreheads... 1 + 4 + 4 = 9.
I give a analysis on the linked page about why I think the error of the number of man being 6 took hold - Rev. 13:18, the number of the beast... 6 + 6 + 6 = 18 {NOTE: the number of the verse} and 1 + 8 = 9 - the number of man.
Man is born in sin - 6, moves through 7 - Redemption to 8 Christ and arrives at 9 {Israel}... 10 represents G·d's perfection which is unattainable by man except in fellowship through Christ.

Also some of the author's photo interpretation is difficult for me to conceptualize. The eyes and the mote and beam are excellent visualization; the Lion of Judah and the dragon do not come together well for me. Still, an interesting study. ✝️
...until the muslins burn it down.
I was IN the sistine chapel today.
