three times; 2:3; 2:4). There are 7 days in a week and God's
Sabbath is on the 7th day.
The Bible, as a whole, was originally divided into 7 major
divisions.
They are
1) the Law; 2) the Prophets; 3) the Writings, or Psalms; 4)
the Gospels and Acts;
5) the General Epistles; 6) the Epistles of Paul; and 7) the
book of Revelation.
The total number of originally inspired books was
forty-nine, or 7 x 7, demonstrating the absolute perfection of
the Word of God.
Thus, right at the start of the Bible, the number 7 is identified
with something being “finished” or “complete.”
From then on, that association continues, as 7 is often found
in contexts involving completeness or divine perfection.
So we see the command for animals to be at least seven
days old before being used for sacrifice (Exodus 22:30),
the command for leprous Naaman to bathe in the Jordan
River seven times to effect complete cleansing (2 Kings
5:10),
and the command for Joshua to march around Jericho for
seven days (and on the seventh day to make seven circuits)
and for seven priests blow seven trumpets outside the city
walls (Joshua 6:3–4). In these instances, 7
signifiescompletion of some kind: a divine mandate is fulfilled.
Interestingly, man was created on the sixth day of creation.
In some passages of the Bible, the number 6 is associated
with mankind.
In Revelation “the number of the beast” is called “the
number of a man. That number is 666” (Revelation 13:18).
If God’s number is 7, then man’s is 6.
