Have to say, I’ve gone down a rabbit hole with this.
The fact DB was converting to Christianity and started talking to herself…
The significance of ten. Firstly to state I am not a Christian and what I’m about to write is simply a reflection of what biblical interpreters have written. I have lost friends to this sort of wacky “the end is nigh” nonsense, but here I think it’s gone a lot further and IMO - with the suspect’s ex-boyfriend stating she had recently “converted to Christianity” - may be the key to the numbers 1/0 (10).
Religious converts can be the most zealous of any religion, that’s a well-worn idea.
The number ten (10) is significant in the Christian “end times” legend. And end times can be the favourite of the newly converted zealot, JMO, I have seen it up close and disturbingly so.
10 relates to toes and feet. One biblical interpretation I found via Google (
Meaning of the Number 10 in the Bible):
1. The tenth plague sent to Egypt:
“The death of the firstborn of both man and beast”
2. The “commandments”:
“We find, In Genesis 1, the phrase "God said" 10 times, which is a testimony of His creative power. God gave the Ten Commandments to man. Ten therefore represents man's responsibility to keep the commandments.”
3. Daniel 2 and the ten toes:
“The last great world-ruling kingdom of man under Satan is symbolized prophetically by the 10 toes of Daniel 2 and the 10 horns of Revelation 13 and 17.”
And from another source/Biblical interpretation (
Daniel and the End of Human History (Dan. 2, 7, 8) | Evidence Unseen). The number ten is clearly central to the Christian concept of end times:
“
Fourth, this correlates with Revelation 13 and 17, which is also about the end of human history. John writes, “I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns” (Rev. 13:1). He later explains, “The ten horns which you saw
are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom” (Rev. 17:12; c.f. Ps. 132:17; Zech. 1:18-19). These kings give birth to the Antichrist, which hasn’t happened yet (“not yet received a kingdom”).”
