Abstract

The Planet is a piece of work that wholly uses the allegorization and symbolism of the things from this world as references of the mystic and spiritual realities of Christianity. Basically it uses the symbolism of numbers, but also that of other physical or conceptual realities. Such is the case of the Latin declension that helps the author symbolize Christ’s divine qualities and attributes and the meaning of the name Jesus, together with a great explanation of the name Jerusalem.
