Of course the magic square is not the pinnacle of mathematical thought—it's just one of many jewels within the treasure chest

The number pattern has vertical horizontal and radial symmetry. Each box of nine squares ( except the central one with five) also had four entries . As none go over 90 and most not over 60 they could be degrees and minutes and Lat /Long locations. Also it can be by chance alkl boxes have three opdd and one even nuimber ( except the centre one with four even and an odd)
whether the star at the end is linked to Cromwlee one could check but AFAIK each of the four main Protestant references ( Adolphus/Calvin/Luther/Cromwell) do vary they associated symbols.

Comments: In a universe which is most effectively modelled by, and arguably is mathematics, why would lawyers be in charge?

Alternatively: does your local politician have a superior understanding of the concept of 'force' than, say, your average physicist?

If predestination in its category is analogous to deterministic chaos, might the concept of grace be likened to a universal Lagrangian?

"10(exp-43) Room of the Hotel California"

Leitmotiv of the March 21, 1990 announcement is "Time has no meaning in units less than 10(exp-43) sec."

It reminds me of the quote:

"These are not natural events; they strengthen From strange to stranger."

The large 6 and 9 across the puzzle middle. The first of the three boxes adds to 127. 12 and 7 being 19 (this is loose though). The middle box is + or and. And the last box adds to 201. Together 6/19/2019. Which is the date of the last post and perhaps connects them

 The confessio augustana is the Augsburg confession, on June 25th, 1530.
The battle of breitenfeld happened September 17th, 1631, roughly a century afterward.
Notice 6/25/1530 and 9/17/1631. Summing up the date numbers gives 6+25+1530=1561 and 9+17+1631=1657. 
Their difference, is 1657-1561=96. 96 could be related to the 6 and 9 seen in large text.
Make of this what you will.

My eyes overflow with rivers of water For the destruction of the daughter of my people

nd thou shalt give the money, wherewith the odd number of them is to be redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons.”

his ad seems to make reference to the 30 Years War:
Using the solution to the magic square puzzle, the sum of each row, column, and 3x3 square is 369. subtracting this number 
from the year this ad was posted gives the year 1648. May 17th of 1648 is the date of the Battle of Zusmarshausen was fought, 
which was the last major battle of the 30 Years War and resulted in a victory for the mostly Protestant Franco-Swedish forces. 
1648 also marks the year that the 30 Years War concluded, with both sides signing of The Peace of Westphalia on October 24th. 
This war was of course fought originally over what theocratic rule would be imposed over Europe, perhaps connecting the 
Leitmotiv (being that of the importance of Theology) to the motivation of this conflict. Also, the Battle of Breitenfield, 
another important battle from the 30 Years War which was won by Adolphus, is referenced in the ad.

These are just my thoughts and they could be totally wrong, make of them what you will.
