Set theory was unknown until the devout [[Christian]] [[Georg Cantor]] developed it in the late 1800s to understand [[God]] better.  But [[Jesus]] taught, “So the last will be first, and the first last” (Matthew 20:16 [[ESV]]), a concept that is paradoxical ''except'' in set theory.  This set-theory concept is also echoed by the repeated references to [[Jesus]] as the "Alpha and the Omega" in the [[Book of Revelation]].  (Revelation 1:8, 21:6, 22:13)

Most thinkers scoffed at the concept of [[infinity]] for thousands of years, despite it being referenced in the Bible in many ways.  See, e.g., Psalm 147:4-6 (God's "understanding is infinte"); [[Matthew 20-28 (Translated)#20:1|Matthew 20:1-14]] ([[parable]] of the wages for the workers in the vineyard); Matthew 16:26 (one's soul has an infinite value to him, and nothing else can be worth more).
