Hello fellow Christians.Good morning, good afternoon and good evening.
I don't believe in numerology, but I have noticed certain reoccurring numbers in the Bible. I'm not saying they hold significant power, I just find it fascinating that the same numbers appear in different circumstances in the Holy Book. I wonder, did God find these numbers very important?
To start with number 7, here are some examples:
Bible verses concerning the number seven(ones that come from the top of my head)
- The world was created inseven days.(Genesis 2:2)
- God created the sun & moon, so therefore, there are seven days and nights.(Genesis 1:5 - 2:2)
- When Joseph was imprisoned in Egypt, he interpreted the Pharaoh's dream of seven years of famine and seven years of prosperity.(Genesis 41:15-42)
- Seven seals on the scroll, seven trumpets, seven bowls which would all destroy the world.(Revelation 6:2-Rev 8:1, Rev 8:2-10:7, Rev 16<--(1+6 =7 :D))
- Seven angels who blow the trumpets and another seven who would pour the bowls.(Rev 6:2-Rev17)
After doing some research, the number seven appears numerous times in the Bible. It's not lucky, but God does hold some significance with it. Here are the results:
Gen 5:7 - Lev 23:40
Lev 23:41 - 1Kgs 8:65
1Kgs 11:3 - Jer 52:31
Ezek 3:15- Rev 21:9
