If we can hypothesize about the two beasts of Revelation from the Icelandic medieval allegory, they were Time and Death. They had the same number as the beginning and end of Christ. They were that which Christ supplanted. It should be mentioned here that a famous palindrome of antiquity – 432 – 234 – signified totality. If we add those numers we get 666. St. Peter’s in Rome is said to be based on this palindrome; what this doubtlessly signifies (if correct; we have not been able to have this corroborated) is that the world of Christ supplanted pagan cosmology. Before the world stood for natural elements, but no more, now they stand for the risen Christ. There is little doubt that they also stood for the Perfect Cube and the perfect diameter of the cosmos – which became Christ.

It can be deduced that Skarp-Heðinn [one of Njáll‘s sons – insert], Death, normally the symbol of 5, also became the symbol of 15. Medieval illustrations show that five pebbles were added under the triangle of the decad forming a perfect triangle of 15. In this guise Death seems to have become the Devil himself. It will therefore come as a major surprise that is very probably the symbol of the virgin Mary when she had to walk up her steps of sorrow so pregnant with symbolic imagery. If this was so, the steps were her platforms, on her way up Mount Dolorosa. The Mount Dolorosa in Iceland was named Þríhyrningr (Three Horns or Triangle); it can be inferred from circumstantial evidence that on top of that mountain there were 15 crosses signifying that Mary with the birth of Christ had overcome Death himself – in the form of three crosses. On the mountain Þríhyrningr Flosi and his arsonists rested for three days and nights after the Fire.

…Numerology in medieval Christian churches indicates that Pythagorean numbers were not at all replaced; they were hallowed. This reminds one of the words of Gregory of Nyssa speaking on the mystery of salvation; he found it a miracle that such a mystery should have been enacted in “the infinitesimal time” of three days. Flosi and his entourage ride from the Fire at Bergþórshváll on to mount Þríhyrningr, the Mount Dolorosa of Celtic Christianity, where he and his men stay for three days and nights. What almost certainly happened during that period was that the great mystery of salvation was enacted in this world. The old heathen world had perished in the flames.
