The 144,000 (Rev. 7:4; 14:1, 3) are the multiples of 12 x 12 x 10 x 10 x 10, a symbolic number that signifies the total number (tens) of the people of God (twelves). The 12,000 stadia (12 x 10 x 10 x 10) of the walls of the New Jerusalem in Rev. 21:16 represent an immense city that can house the total number (tens) of God's people (twelves).
The first row has been interpreted as the prime numbers between 10 and 20 (i.e., 19, 17, 13, and 11), while a second row appears to add and subtract 1 from 10 and 20 (i.e., 9, 19, 21, and 11); the third row contains amounts that might be halves and doubles, though these are inconsistent. [14]

The wireframe may be used either with positional notation like other abacuses (thus the 10-wire version may represent numbers up to 9,999,999,999), or each bead may represent one unit (e.g. 74 can be represented by shifting all beads on 7 wires and 4 beads on the 8th wire, so numbers up to 100 may be represented).

The Church numerals are a representation of the natural numbers using lambda notation. The method is named for Alonzo Church , who first encoded data in the lambda calculus this way. Terms that are usually considered primitive in other notations (such as integers, Booleans, pairs, lists, and tagged unions) are mapped to higher-order functions ...
