In order to predict a future anyone wants to create, increase or manipulate in any way, they would want to influence the language and redefine the vocabulary.
Language used extensively is a living language and being alive, is buffeted by change constantly. In regard to Christianity, we are for some time now, leaving a prior age and entering a new age where information is instant, and microscopically accurate. Nevertheless, prior to the increasingly technical era absorbing the greater ancient emphasis on spiritual information it was not necessarily more accurate.
In order to become a rabbi, one had to be thirty years old, which is why Jesus's ministry began at that time. Also, it was customary to retreat into the wilderness to be alone. This should be a long time, which was forty days ad forty nights, but not with any rigidity.
We can surmise then that because of the lack of technical accuracy, numbers entered the discourse with some loose traditions. Even today, there are some great quotes attributed to famous people, actors for instance, that were never said. What famous person said, Judy Judy, Judy? Everyone used to know that one instantly.
There are many of them, notably "my horse, my horse, my Kingdom of a horse." It was better said by the historian than the participants themselves. So, I see in the development of technical recording, a move away from the spiritual into technicalities fogging the ease to realize the reality of my beliefs.
The result was that many scholars employed aliens in their reasoned explanations, since they were of the opinion that almost everything in the past was a myth, only to be embarrassed periodically to find such was not the case at all.
All these considerations directly enter into the world of faith and introduces complications in my view to believe in a favorable future. Still under editing.
