The problem being that the actual sanctuary has only a 10 fold symetry and not a 12 fold one. The same applies to the elemental structure of Nature. The foremost two worldly elements along with their corresponding two apostles are the great pretenders. They have a purpose but it is the unseen elements which are the basis of structure and truth. The tetrahedron and the octahedron along with their corresponding apostles are simply a facade.
All atoms are spherical in nature.
You will not find a atom nor molecule with the shape of a tetrahedron nor of an octahedron. The atoms may combine in an octet latice type arrangement, but it is only a facade that you see. The basic structure has nothing to do with either the octahedron nor the tetrahedron. Revelation says that the beast with the two horns like a lamb will deceive the whole world. Constantine the establisher of the Holy Roman Catholic is that beast and his two horns are Peter and Paul in the form of the Catholic and Protestant church.
