Abstract. We present familiar principles involving objects
and classes (of objects), pairing (on objects), choice
(selecting elements from classes), positive classes
(elements of an ultrafilter), and definable classes
(definable using the preceding notions). We also postulate
the existence of a divine object in the formalized sense
that it lies in every definable positive class. ZFC (even
extended with certain hypotheses just shy of the existence
of a measurable cardinal) is interpretable in the resulting
system. This establishes the consistency of mathematics
relative to the consistency of these systems. Measurable
cardinals are used to interpret and prove the consistency
of the system. Positive classes and various kinds of divine
objects have played significant roles in theology.
