Although kingiyk is not here, I’m going to comment on this, because it suddenly struck me as a huge anachronism:
So why is it an anachronism? Because at roman times, they did not use mechanical clocks with the clock face we use now. In roman times, they used sun dials and water clocks. So the concept of a 12-hour clock face as depicted by kingiyk did not exist.
From what I can find from web searches, the first clock faces appeared in the 14th century. So the idea of the hours 3, 6, 9, and 12 forming a cross was totally unknown in roman times. So when humans in modern times started using a 12-hour clock face with 12 at the top, it was a continuation of the roman way of dividing the day and night into 12 hours. However, if you are going to divide a 360 degree clock face into 12 hours, you naturally get four quadrants of three hours each, with 3, 6, 9, and 12 in 90 degrees increments.
Also, in roman times, the day started at sunrise, and the day lasted for 12 hours until sunset. Similarly, night lasted 12 hours from sunset to sunrise. Since the length of the day varies over the year, the length of hours also varied.
In conclusion, the notion of cherry-picked biblical references to the numbers 3, 6, 9, and 12 to form a cross are therefore quite far fetched.

In context of the above, the AI generated text below is therefore anachronistic, based on cherry-picked numbers, is not deduced from first principles, but mentions what the author of the prompts wants to hear.
