The Light of the World (1851–1853) is an allegorical painting by the English Pre-Raphaelite artist William Holman Hunt (1827–1910) representing the figure of Jesus preparing to knock on an overgrown and long-unopened door, illustrating Revelation 3:20:

"Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me".

The door in the painting has no handle, and can therefore be opened only from the inside, representing "the obstinately shut mind". The painting was considered by many to be the most important and culturally influential rendering of Christ of its time.

The Skoptsy1 (Russian: скопцы, IPA: skɐpˈtsɨ; sg. скопец "eunuch") were a sect within the larger Spiritual Christianity movement in the Russian Empire, best known for practicing castration of men and the mastectomy of women in accordance with their teachings against sexual lust.2

The Skoptsy referred to themselves as the "White Doves" (белые голуби). Their aim was to perfect the individual by eradicating original sin, which they believed had come into the world by the first coitus between Adam and Eve. They believed that human genitals were the true mark of Cain, and that the true message of Jesus Christ included the practice of castration, that Jesus himself had been a castrate, and that his example had been followed by the apostles and the early Christian saints.3

They believed after the expulsion from the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve had the halves of the forbidden fruit grafted onto their bodies, forming testicles and breasts. Thus, the removal of these sexual organs restored the Skoptsy to the pristine state before the original sin.

Abuna Yemata Guh is a monolithic church located in the Hawzen woreda of the Tigray Region, Ethiopia. Perched 650 feet above a steep cliff in Northern Ethiopia, visitors face a 45-minute climb up the cliff’s vertical face in order to access the precariously positioned church.

Jesus died at age 33, there's thirty-three shots
From twin Glocks there's sixteen apiece, that's thirty-two

Twenty-seven hit your crew, six went into you

Church in Ethiopia built in 434AD that gaurds the ark of the covenant

There's no mention of Jesus's life during his teenage-early adult phase, it's like the Bible just ignored this period (which imo is very important to get to know who Jesus is).
They skipped like 20 years and fast-forwarded when he's like 30 years old.

There are theories about Jesus travelling to Japan, India, and even Britain during these years.

The claim to the throne of the solomonic dynasty of Ethiopia (monarchy from 12th century til 20th century) was that they were descendants of Menelik I who was allegedly the son of the prophet Solomon and the queen of Sheba.

Rastafaris believe that the last ruling emperor Haile Selassie was the reincarnation of Jesus Christ.
