Claim. The 72 Couples were blessed to indemnify the Cain–Abel split that has crippled every providential family since Adam, occupying the tribal-disciple position represented by Jesus’ 70 disciples.
Elaboration. SMM explains the numerology and its providential function: “On the horizontal substantial level, the 72 Couples represent the 72 disciples related to the twelve apostles at the time of Jesus. When we consider them vertically centered on the 36 Couples, they correspond to the families of Cain and Abel, with the 36 Couples as the family of Adam” (2.1. History of the 36, 72, and 124 Couples, 110-120, 1980.11.10). The history is read through Cain-Abel disunity: “Until this time, all the ancestors who have influenced the age they lived in have, in one way or another, all failed in their work for the providence to unite Cain and Abel. Because the foundation upon which Cain and Abel could become one was not established, the fallen world continued on and on. Therefore, based on the 36 Couples, the 72 Couples were blessed so that one ancestral family that linked the families of Cain and Abel could be established” (ibid). The 72 Couples are therefore the Cain-Abel cure encoded as a marriage cohort.
