The argument
The hypothesis joins Matthew's raised bodies, Luke's deathless category, Scripture's patterns of hidden or preserved witnesses, and the expectation that the days of the Son of Man will involve extraordinary testimony.
Why it matters
It makes hospitality, testing, protection, and a non-idolatrous receiving community urgent practical questions rather than fictional curiosities.
What this teaching does not claim
No location, institution, lineage, secret order, personal claimant, or numerical structure should be accepted without evidence. The hypothesis must not feed spectacle or credulity.
