The OT is replete with references to 6 & 7. In NT times, Jesus has been "numerologically" associated with the number "888" (much as emperor Nero is usually acknowledged to be the "666" of Revelations). Early Christian communities associated themselves with the symbol of the fish, which resembles the number "8" as well as the symbol for "infinity" (not to mention the "Age of Pisces [the fish]" which began about the time of Christ). Certainly today, most Asians associate the number "8" with "infinity" and hence good luck, so I understand.
Now, nature is built on "integers", namely the chemical elements defined by integer numbers of protons in their nuclei. The numbers 6/7/8 <--> Carbon/Nitrogen/Oxygen. This strikes this writer as a reference to CNO, the elements which are most necessary for terrestrial bio-chemistry (the chemistry of life on Earth). Moreover, and arguably relatedly (according to Astronomers), CNO is also a primary stellar nuclear "chemistry" fusion pathway in the cores of stars.
And, of course, Jesus Christ is described as the "one and only" begotten son of God in heaven, the "one and only" way to the "one and only" Kingdom of heaven. Repetitive references to the number 1 <--> Hydrogen, the most common element of nature, one of the most common in terrestrial organisms, and the starting point for all more complex elements. Everything "in the heavens", clear across the Cosmos, began & begins with 1 <--> H. Furthermore, Jesus ("888" <--> Oxygen, "the one" <--> Hydrogen) is repetitively described throughout the NT as the "flowing river of water of life". Chemically, water is H20, composed of Hydrogen & Oxygen.
This writer therefore perceives Christian Scriptures to incorporate numerological references to terrestrial bio-chemistry, nuclear physics, astronomy, astrophysics & cosmology.
Hebrew Gematria also associates the name of God, "YHWH", with the number 26. "Y" is the 10th letter of the Hebrew aleph-beth, H the 5th, and W the 6th, so that "YHWH" = 10+5+6+5 = 26. Prima facie, 26 is a reference to iron (Fe), the 26th element of nature, and the one specific particularly special element having the maximum nuclear binding energy per nucleon. More specifically, that honor belongs to the isotope of iron having 26 protons and 56 total nucleons (Fe-56). The Gematriac references to 26, 5 & 6 strikes this author as a plain reference to Fe-56, the most stable element of nature, and the ultimate end product of all nuclear (fission & fusion) processes. Prima facie, "God in heaven" is claiming to be the paragon of stability and the ultimate end (in the far distant future) of all of nature. Cp. Jesus Christ is associated with "888" and "infinity".
I even understand that some physicists may draw inspiration from Scripture, in developing 10 dimensional String Theory to unify all of physics. And of course the "Omni-directional wheel" developed at NASA was inspired by the Book of Ezekiel's description of "wheels within wheels".
For these & other reasons, this writer perceives Scripture to demonstrate a supra-humanly advanced scientific knowledge of "God in heaven", especially considering as it was first communicated to humans on Earth thousands of years ago, and we still have yet to unify physics with 10D String Theory and so are (plausibly) still missing a few more scientific technical references within the Bible.

Furthermore, the Parable of the Rich Man Entering Heaven (Matt 19, Mark 10) appears to envision a fully laden caravan camel, burdened with copious baggage, trying to squeeze through a narrow gate into some first century Judean town. The camel & driver must ditch all of the baggage "and get a close shave" before barely being able to squeeze through "into heaven".
To this writer, that is an apt description of a Space-X rocket launch. A Falcon-9 rocket may begin life on the launch pad weighing a million to two million pounds, but only a few percent of that can be escaped from Earth's deep gravity well "into heaven". Unless this writer misunderstands the (basic) rocket science (?), no human in the history of life on Earth, no matter how much wealth they think they have, will ever get more than a few percent of it "off world", out of Earth's gravitational clutches, and "into heaven". All the rest will have to be jettisoned forcefully along the way. Hence, the Parable of the Rich Man Entering 'Heaven' strikes this writer as a reference to rocket launches and the great power required to orbit payload.
