When you know longer see the golden dome of a Mosque on the Temple Mount, that would be a definite sign that the fullness of the Gentiles have come in!

Luke 21:24 And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. What are the 4 quarters of Jerusalem? AI Overview https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQrSBjhAP8SXOIPcde1_D4YAjd1PqXm_LHwj-RM92s--ZHcfnBo2Zke20oU&s The Old City of Jerusalem is divided into four quarters: the Jewish Quarter, the Muslim Quarter, the Christian Quarter, and the Armenian Quarter. This division, which took shape during the Ottoman period in the 19th century, reflects the city's multi-religious and multicultural character, allocating specific areas for residence and worship for each community. Here's a brief overview of each quarter: Jewish Quarter: Home to the Western Wall and the Cardo, a reconstructed Roman street. Muslim Quarter: The largest of the four quarters, including the Temple Mount and the Dome of the Rock. Christian Quarter: Features the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the traditional site of Jesus' crucifixion, burial, and resurrection, and the Via Dolorosa. Armenian Quarter: The smallest of the four, home to the Monastery of St. James.

Psalm Eighty-Two: 8 Arise, O God, judge the earth; For You shall inherit all nations. When the Lord was in the wilderness and under the temptation of Satan, He was offered His Inheritance without the Cross. Matthew Four: 8 Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.” 10 Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! For it is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve. 11 Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him. When the Lord states "Israel is my firstborn", He is addressing their standing among nations. When reference is made to Jacob, the genealogy of a people is being addressed. Israel is a Nation. Esau is a people, Edom is a Nation. What causes great wonder about the Lord's inheritance is being put on display in great magnification. The Nations are disjunct and plagued by evil intent towards one another. But what if the world was in perfect co-existence? Many years ago, my ex-wife introduced me to these computer software nation building games. You built up a city from scratch, until it was spread out over a wide landscape. You set up every area of your society, agriculture, industry, religion, education, etc...and when you are successful the entire city runs amazingly smooth, with proper attention from you of course, as the governor of the city/nation. It was a wonder to me, and I realized then what God had intended for man, and would fulfill in the Inheritance of the Son of God. Israel is the Lord's inheritance, and the Saints will govern with Him over His Dominion. Psalm Seventy-Two: 1 Give the king Your judgments, O God, And Your righteousness to the king’s Son. 2 He will judge Your people with righteousness, And Your poor with justice. 3 The mountains will bring peace to the people, And the little hills, by righteousness. 4 He will bring justice to the poor of the people; He will save the children of the needy, And will break in pieces the oppressor. 5 They shall fear You As long as the sun and moon endure, Throughout all generations. 6 He shall come down like rain upon the grass before mowing, Like showers that water the earth. 7 In His days the righteous shall flourish, And abundance of peace, Until the moon is no more. 8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, And from the River to the ends of the earth. 9 Those who dwell in the wilderness will bow before Him, And His enemies will lick the dust.

The Mystery Of Iniquity Second Thessalonians Two: 3-5 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6-8 And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.

Revelation Sixteen:Fifteen Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame.

After the Passover night when the firstborn of Egypt, both man and beast were slain, the Lord set a part the firstborn unto Himself. Exodus Thirteen: 1 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 Consecrate to Me all the firstborn, whatever opens the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and beast; it is Mine. 11 “And it shall be, when the Lord brings you into the land of the Canaanites, as He swore to you and your fathers, and gives it to you, 12 that you shall set apart to the Lord all that open the womb, that is, every firstborn that comes from an animal which you have; the males shall be the Lord’s. 13 But every firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb; and if you will not redeem it, then you shall break its neck. And all the firstborn of man among your sons you shall redeem. 14 So it shall be, when your son asks you in time to come, saying, ‘What is this?’ that you shall say to him, By strength of hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 15 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh was stubborn about letting us go, that the Lord killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man and the firstborn of beast. Therefore I sacrifice to the Lord all males that open the womb, but all the firstborn of my sons I redeem. *********************************************** The Tribe of Levi was chosen to be the Lord's ministers, in the place of the firstborn males which belonged to Him. Numbers Three: 11 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 12 Now behold, I Myself have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of every firstborn who opens the womb among the children of Israel. Therefore the Levites shall be Mine, 13 because all the firstborn are Mine. On the day that I struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I sanctified to Myself all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast. They shall be Mine: I am the Lord. ********************************************** The first census was to establish the sum of the tribe of Levi, and the number of firstborn males who opened the birth canal, (KJV)-matrix. 14 Then the Lord spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai, saying: 15 “Number the children of Levi by their fathers’ houses, by their families; you shall number every male from a month old and above. 39 All who were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of the Lord, by their families, all the males from a month old and above, were twenty-two thousand. 40 Then the Lord said to Moses: Number all the firstborn males of the children of Israel from a month old and above, and take the number of their names. 41 And you shall take the Levites for Me—I am the Lord— instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the livestock of the children of Israel. ********************************************* The census determined that the firstborn males outnumbered the Levites by 273, so a redemption price was paid for them. 46 And for the redemption of the two hundred and seventy-three of the firstborn of the children of Israel, who are more than the number of the Levites, 47 you shall take five shekels for each one individually; you shall take them in the currency of the shekel of the sanctuary, the shekel of twenty gerahs. 48 And you shall give the money, with which the excess number of them is redeemed, to Aaron and his sons. ********************************************* One might think that the firstborn would always outnumber the Redeemed of the Lord, but that is a problem since the number of the Redeemed was preordained, and a late-century population explosion has had stiff opposition from the enemy. As evidence, consider how popular using Cesarean birth became with greater technology and medical advancements. This procedure nullifies any firstborn males by preventing them from exiting the birth canal. And then population controls were implemented, which led to western tech being used to establish gender, and many aborted female fetuses, as the parents sought a son with the one child they were allowed. This "child sacrifice" has brought a curse upon mankind for disrupting God's natural order. This suggests that the fullness of the Gentiles could soon be reached, even with present world population and growth, and the disruption of natural birth, using an "emergency procedure". While there was a resurgence in the West of mothers committing to natural birth methods, this is too little too late because of the massacre of fetuses in abortion mills. How many would have been firstborn males? They were slaughtering males that God claimed as His Own. How do you think that went over?

John Nineteen: 25-27 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, Woman, behold your son! Then He said to the disciple, Behold your mother! And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home.

Second Timothy Two: 10 Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 11 This is a faithful saying: For if we died with Him, We shall also live with Him. 12 If we endure, We shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us. 13 If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself.

Jeremiah Thirty-Three: 20-22 Thus says the Lord: If you can break My covenant with the day and My covenant with the night, so that there will not be day and night in their season, then My covenant may also be broken with David My servant, so that he shall not have a son to reign on his throne, and with the Levites, the priests, My ministers. As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, nor the sand of the sea measured, so will I multiply the descendants of David My servant and the Levites who minister to Me. 23-26 Moreover the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying, “Have you not considered what these people have spoken, saying, ‘The two families which the Lord has chosen, He has also cast them off’? Thus they have despised My people, as if they should no more be a nation before them. Thus says the Lord: If My covenant is not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth, then I will cast away the descendants of Jacob and David My servant, so that I will not take any of his descendants to be rulers over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For I will cause their captives to return, and will have mercy on them.

Rev 2:18 And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write, ‘These things says the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet like fine brass: Rev 19:11-13 Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.

Psalm Thirty-Three: 6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth. 7 He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap; He lays up the deep in storehouses. 8 Let all the earth fear the Lord; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. 9 For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast. 10 The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect. 11 The counsel of the Lord stands forever, The plans of His heart to all generations. 12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, The people He has chosen as His own inheritance.

If you are a preacher, "Elisha's Little Chamber" would definitely preach, and be heard by those who abide, and have ears to hear what the Spirit is saying.

AI Overview While no specific ancient Biblical nation is definitively linked to present-day Nigeria, some theories suggest that the Igbo people may have connections to ancient Israelites, particularly the tribe of Gad, according to Wikipedia. This is supported by their belief in Jewish origins, which has grown more prominent, especially after the Biafran War. Additionally, some scholars suggest that the term "Cush" in the Bible, which can refer to parts of Africa, might include areas that encompass modern-day Nigeria. Here's a more detailed breakdown: Igbo and Jewish Connections: A significant portion of the Igbo population in Nigeria believes they are descendants of the lost tribes of Israel, specifically the tribe of Gad. This belief is supported by their adoption of Jewish customs and practices, as well as their identification with Jewish traditions. Cush and Africa: The term "Cush" in the Bible is interpreted differently by scholars, with some suggesting it refers to all of Africa or ancient Nubia. However, according to CBE International, the term "Cush" is used in the Bible to refer to an African nation and people, which may include areas that encompass modern-day Nigeria. Prophecies and Historical Records: Some individuals and organizations, such as the author of "Nigeria Predicted in the Bible", link the biblical prophecies concerning a nation whose land the rivers divide (referring to the Niger and Benue rivers) to Nigeria, suggesting that Nigerians are descendants of biblical Israelites. Historical Context: While the Igbo belief in Jewish origins is a relatively recent development, there have been instances of Jewish presence in Nigeria, especially among the Igbo, dating back to precolonial times. Archaeological Evidence: Archaeological finds in Igboland, such as the bronze castings in Igbo Ukwu, demonstrate the sophistication and influence of the Nri Kingdom, which was a center of power and influence in the region. In conclusion, while no specific ancient Biblical nation is definitively linked to Nigeria, the Igbo people's belief in their Jewish origins and the historical context surrounding the term "Cush" in the Bible suggest potential connections to ancient Israelites and Africa.

Correction. Isaiah Forty-Eight: 16 Come near to Me, hear this: I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; From the time that it was, I was there. And now the Lord God and His Spirit Have sent Me. 17 Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: I am the Lord your God, Who teaches you to profit, Who leads you by the way you should go. 18 Oh, that you had heeded My commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river, And your righteousness like the waves of the sea.

Yes, while we as believers have significant spiritual authority, it would be an error to attempt to exercise that authority in an area where "angels fear to tread". From Collins Dictionary online: "If you say that someone rushes in where angels fear to tread, you are criticizing them gently because they get themselves into dangerous or difficult situations without thinking carefully enough about what they are doing."

This one worldly desire, to have a quiet room and a morsel of bread Second Kings Four: 10 Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither. I suppose that I am just being fanciful, but in this chamber I see the Tabernacle of Meeting and the dwelling place of Yeshua. Exodus Thirty-Three: 11 So the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. And he would return to the camp, but his servant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, did not depart from the tabernacle. Deuteronomy Thirty-One:14 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Behold, the days approach when you must die; call Joshua, and present yourselves in the tabernacle of meeting, that I may inaugurate him.” So Moses and Joshua went and presented themselves in the tabernacle of meeting. 15 Now the Lord appeared at the tabernacle in a pillar of cloud, and the pillar of cloud stood above the door of the tabernacle. 23 Then He inaugurated Joshua the son of Nun, and said, “Be strong and of good courage; for you shall bring the children of Israel into the land of which I swore to them, and I will be with you.” 24 So it was, when Moses had completed writing the words of this law in a book, when they were finished, 25 that Moses commanded the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord, saying: 26 Take this Book of the Law, and put it beside the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, that it may be there as a witness against you; The Book of the Law of Moses, which we call Deuteronomy and Judaism refers to as The Devarim was not placed inside the Ark, for it was "added because of transgressions". Only the stone tablets upon which were written the words heard on Sinai were kept within the Ark. The manna and Aaron's rod had been long removed, and never entered Solomon's Temple. First Kings Eight: 6 Then the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the temple, to the Most Holy Place, under the wings of the cherubim. 7 For the cherubim spread their two wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim overshadowed the ark and its poles. 8 The poles extended so that the ends of the poles could be seen from the holy place, in front of the inner sanctuary; but they could not be seen from outside. And they are there to this day. 9 Nothing was in the ark except the two tablets of stone which Moses put there at Horeb, when the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt. The author of Hebrews did not want to get into this, and it is dubious to quote the statement found there without understanding. Hebrews Nine: 1 Then indeed, even the first covenant had ordinances of divine service and the earthly sanctuary. 2 For a tabernacle was prepared: the first part, in which was the lampstand, the table, and the showbread, which is called the sanctuary; 3 and behind the second veil, the part of the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of All, 4 which had the golden censer and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which were the golden pot that had the manna, Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant; 5 and above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. Of these things we cannot now speak in detail. So now you have more details...

Isaiah Sixty-six:1 Thus says the Lord: “Heaven is My throne, And earth is My footstool. Where is the house that you will build Me? And where is the place of My rest? 2 For all those things My hand has made, And all those things exist,” Says the Lord. “But on this one will I look: On him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, And who trembles at My word. The Ark of the Covenant represents the earth realm, and the Tabernacle is the meeting place, where heaven comes to earth. Not in a Temple or Assembly Hall, but in the hearts of the contrite.

You may not think this is so, but it is quite easy to discern when someone is "talking about something they read in a book" as opposed to having experienced in Christ. The wisdom gained in the experience makes it so. So then go, and make it so.

Second Corinthians Twelve: 2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago— whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows— such a one was caught up to the third heaven. 3 And I know such a man—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows; 4 how he was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. When passing through the veil, one experiences spiraling filaments of light which vibrate with "a Voice", the words of which inexpressible, but contain visions and revelations for the fully committed servant of God. These revelations only come in the midst of patient endurance through suffering. The Third Heaven is not a place outside of you, it is an experience, a transition that becomes more and more familiar to those who enter in. 7 And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. 8 Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. 9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong. Ah...a new pleasure principle in Christ, not found in the pew. How very much apostolic doctrine is ignored to avoid this Truth. Second Corinthians One: 5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ. 6 Now if we are afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effective for enduring the same sufferings which we also suffer. Or if we are comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. 7 And our hope for you is steadfast, because we know that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so also you will partake of the consolation. Please excuse me while I pray for your afflictions to come, and your endurance by which you enter the arms of the Comforter.

Exodus Twenty-Nine: 42 This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the tabernacle of meeting before the Lord, where I will meet you to speak with you. 43 And there I will meet with the children of Israel, and the tabernacle shall be sanctified by My glory. 44 So I will consecrate the tabernacle of meeting and the altar. I will also consecrate both Aaron and his sons to minister to Me as priests. 45 I will dwell among the children of Israel and will be their God. 46 And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, who brought them up out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them. I am the Lord their God. There is no longer an earthly tabernacle to draw near, by which a devotee can attend unto the Presence of the Lord. The Cross of Christ has torn the veil of the Tabernacle, but only in the Resurrection to newness of life can the devotee now draw near. Hebrews Six: 11 And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, 19 This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil, 20 where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek. Hebrews Ten: 22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) 35 Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. 36 For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise: 37 For as yet a little while, And He who is coming will come and will not tarry. 38 Now the just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him.” 39 But we are not those who draw away to perdition, but of those who believe unto the saving of the soul. As it was with Israel, so has it become in the Ekklesia. Isaiah Twenty-Nine: 13 Therefore the Lord said: Inasmuch as these people draw near with their mouths And honor Me with their lips, But have removed their hearts far from Me, And their fear toward Me is taught by the commandment of men, 14 Therefore, behold, I will again do a marvelous work Among this people, A marvelous work and a wonder; For the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, And the understanding of their prudent men shall be hidden.” And so a call has gone out to the nations Isaiah Forty-Five: 20 Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save. 21 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the Lord? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me. 22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. 23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.

The Hebrew word for the number one [ehad-H259] is also used to establish the first in a succession, and a unity of existence and purpose. First Use... Genesis One: 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day. Four verses later, it is used to designate separation and unity. 9 Then God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear”; and it was so. An important application therefore is the use of 'one' to designate 'first' in the keeping of a Biblical Calendar. Exodus Forty: 1 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 2 On the first day of the first month you shall set up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting. The firstlings required for sacrifices designate the lamb or kid be of "the first year". Leviticus Twenty-Three: 19 Then you shall sacrifice one kid of the goats as a sin offering, and two male lambs of the first year as a sacrifice of a peace offering. Establishing a caveat: Second Samuel Three: 13 And David said, “Good, I will make a covenant with you. But one thing I require of you: you shall not see my face unless you first bring Michal, Saul’s daughter, when you come to see my face. A Simple "you go first"...

Forty-Eight: 4 Who has performed and done it, Calling the generations from the beginning? ‘I, the Lord, am the first; And with the last I am He.’ Ecclesiastes Three: 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time.

Is there any value to the study of these topics, or are they just an excuse to be puffed up with knowledge, rather than devoted to the edification of the Body of Christ? First Corinthians Eight: 1-3 Now concerning things offered to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies. And if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know. But if anyone loves God, this one is known by Him.

AI Overview Kabbalah, a form of Jewish mysticism, is a tradition within Judaism that explores the hidden meanings and spiritual depths of the Torah and the universe. It's characterized by its esoteric teachings, often passed down through oral tradition, and its focus on understanding God's nature and humanity's relationship with the divine. Here's a more detailed breakdown: Key aspects of Kabbalah: Focus on Understanding God: Kabbalah aims to understand the nature of God, exploring His attributes, actions, and the relationship between the divine and the human world. The Sefirot: A central concept in Kabbalah is the Sefirot, which are ten divine attributes or emanations through which God interacts with the world. The Tree of Life: The Sefirot are often visualized in the form of the Tree of Life, a symbolic representation of the universe and God's creation. The Zohar: The foundational text of Kabbalah, the Zohar, is a commentary on the Torah that offers allegorical interpretations and insights into the divine realm. Oral Tradition: Kabbalah is traditionally passed down through a master-apprentice system, emphasizing personal study and guidance. Practical Dimension: Beyond the theoretical, Kabbalah also involves practical aspects like rituals, meditations, and techniques for connecting with the divine and influencing the world. Tikkun Olam: A core Kabbalistic concept is tikkun olam, or "repairing the world," which emphasizes the responsibility to correct imbalances and contribute to a more just and harmonious world. Esoteric Tradition: Kabbalah is considered an esoteric tradition, meaning it's not meant for general public knowledge and was traditionally reserved for those with extensive Torah study. In summary, Kabbalah provides a framework for understanding the deeper spiritual and mystical dimensions of Judaism, offering insights into God's nature, the universe, and humanity's role in the divine plan. In Biblical numerology, numbers are believed to hold symbolic and mystical meanings, similar to the ancient world's view of numbers as significant. While numbers in the Bible can be taken literally, they are also seen as a means to add deeper meaning to the text, Keen states. Key Aspects of Biblical Numerology: Examples: One: Represents God the Father, divine completeness, and primacy. Three: Symbolizes the Holy Trinity, divine wholeness, and perfection. Four: Often associated with the four corners of the earth, the four gospels, or the four directions. Seven: Represents spiritual completeness, the sabbath, and the completed work of God.
