the number 7 is so unusual

[silviawang]

most of the great events in happen were related to the number 7

i can not understand why GOD is like 7 so much

just want to tell us that these events were all not the coincidence,but were elaborately  designed by him?

Seven is important in understanding how the Universe works. There is probably a scientific and logical reason for it that only God understands. Our brains seem to compute in groups of seven according to some psychologists.

Seven, The Number Of Completion

 

Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. Genesis 2:1-3

 

Eight, The Number Of New Beginnings

 

These who from the first were not convinced in the days of Noah when the long-suffering of God commanded that there would be an ark, upon the hope of their repentance, and only eight souls entered it and were kept alive by water.

 

For you also are saved in it by that simile in baptism, not when you wash the body from impurity, but when you confess God with a pure conscience, and by the resurrection of Yeshua, The Messiah,

 

He who has been escorted into Heaven, and he is upon the right hand of God, and the Angels and the Principalities and the Powers are subjected unto him. 2 Peter 3:20-22 (Aramaic Bible in Plain English)

In Hebrew understanding, numbers have meaning.

 

1 = unity, the first, represents God

2 = duality or division

3 = complete, entire

4 = creation, the world

 

etc.

 

7 = perfection, completeness

 I'm not sure either, my friend, why God likes seven so much, either.  Some say that seven is the sum of 4 (the number of creation) and 3 (the number signature of God), but I'm not sure why that is.  I guess God just likes the number 3 representing him.

 

The number ten is also important representing ordinal perfection (such as the 10 commandments), and 12 governmental perfection  (the 12 tribes of Israel, the 12 apostles, 12 months in the year and zodiac, etc)

One of the links I posted has a decent explanation for this:

 

God rested on the seventh day because his work of creation was complete, entire, perfect. Thus seven represents this perfect completeness and also it represents rest, as in the rest that is taken from work. It is from this same word that the Sabbath, the day of rest comes. But as well as this spiritual perfection, seven seems also to be used in another way in scripture.

 

Patterns of sevens run through the scripture more abundantly than any other number. Where patterns of other numbers run through a scripture it is often symbolic of something to do with that number, however patterns of seven about all through scripture to the extent that it could be seen as being a part of God's seal that the writing is indeed scripture. Thus seven might also be known as the number of God's seal.For example let us take a look at the occurence of the word seven itself, and its derivitives.
