Biblical Sevens Seven Things Hidden Sevens
Bible
Sevens
Bible sevens can be literal or
allegoric mystery to solve. Of sevens in the Bible, seven days can be
just another
week of even-ing and mourn-ing for the host of them vs them prepared
for war (is good for nothing, and friend only to the under-taker), or 1
day can allegorically be as a 1000 years and a 1000 years can
allegorically be as 1 day. Converted Paul of
Saul-->Paul, who writes more New Testament writings than all six
other New Testament writers combined, tells us (mystery is made known
to us, of them/us) the Bible is
all allegory in both
"covenants": Galatians 4; And what the script-u-are (of plural and
contrary scriptures written aforetime for our learning) saith is: "cast
out the bondwoman and her son". Allegory: flush law and result of law:
sin and death. Converted Peter, who got converted by reading all Paul's epistles,
also tells us to be
not ignorant of this one thing: that one day [is] with the Lord as
a thousand years and a thousand years as one day: 2Peter 3:8. Psalmist
David, who is notably not ascended into the (plural) heavens, tells us:
a thousand years in thy sight [are but] as yesterday when
it is past, and [as] a watch in the night: Psalms 90:4.
The Seven New Testament Writers
1.
Matthew (aka publican Levi, upbraided hung jury
apostle, writes 1, to lay the foundation)
2. John (whose
surname is Mark, and
whose gospel account is "verily verily",
writes 5)
3. Luke (had perfect
understanding, writes 2, to Theophilus,
to set things believed in order)
4. Paul
(writes 15 of 27: over
50%; 12
of 15 epistles title
him as "The Apostle")
- midst
5. James (clarifier
of two religions
and two wisdoms,
writes 1, to 12 tribes scattered abroad)
6. Peter (formerly
called "Satan", writes 2, to finally strengthen his scatter brained brethren)
7. Jude (writes
1, to re-mind us saved + destroyed afterward by grace + law
didn't end well)
Note: six writers combined write
12 of 27, but Paul writes 15 of 27; more than all six combined.
The Seven Days of Genesis
1. And the evening and the morning were the first day
2. And the evening and the morning were the second
day
3. And the evening and the morning were the third day
4. And the evening and the morning were the fourth
day
5. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day
6. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day
7. And on the seventh
day God ended, blessed, and sanctified
Note: the
seventh day has no mention of evening and morning, as six other days do.
After the sixth day, prior to the seventh day,
(plural) heavens and earth were finished.
What God saw, seven times, in
Genesis 1
1. good
(not both good and evil)
2. good
(not both good and evil)
3. good (not
both good and evil)
4. good (not
both good and evil)
5. good (not
both good and evil)
6. good (not
both good and evil)
7. very good
(every thing he made was exceedingly good)
Seven Things Can Count
as Nothing Without Charity: 1Corinthians 13
1.
speak with tongues of men and angels (nothing but sounding
brass & tinkling cymbal)
2. have [the
gift of] prophecy (you are nothing)
3. understand
all mysteries (you are nothing)
4. have all
knowledge (you are nothing)
5. have all
faith, so as to remove mountains (you are nothing)
6. bestow
all your goods to feed [the poor] (profits you nothing)
7.
give your body to be burned (profits you nothing)
Note: having charity, or not having charity, is as having nothing or
everything
Seven Things Converted Peter Says Add To
Your Faith:
2Peter 1:6
1. virtue
2. knowledge
3. temperance
4. patience
5. godliness
6. brotherly
kindness
7. charity
(seventh of seven)
Note: of faith --> hope --> charity,
only the greatest of three
things never fails nor forsakes
Biblical
sevens can also be obvious or hidden sevens, some hidden as if mystery
to
solve. Bible
scholars generally agree seventh
of seven denotes completeness or perfection; Yet
perhaps it's either
or, not both. For on
the tail side
of the coin, mirrorly for comparison, the seventh of seven levels
of demonic oppression can denote
completeness of
law to be extinction
instead of salvation.
Hidden sevens of such biblical sevens can also be comparatively
descriptive,
as two allegoric mountains in Hebrews
12 seem to bem which both seem to mention seven things; But God and
Jesus are only on
one of the twain
mountains,
the latter (Sion) seemingly better, speaking of better things God
provided for us of them/us in Hebrews 11. Yet look what's in the midst if each sevenfold, if
two mtns compared in Hebrews 12; And what about the "and" x7 concerning Sion?
"Not Come": Mount Sinai
(Law)
"Are Come": Mount
Sion (Grace),
and x7
- - that might be touched
1.
- the city
of the living God: heavenly
Jerusalem
- - that burned with fire
2. - innumerable company of
angels: general
assembly
- - darkness
3.
- church of the firstborn:
written in heaven
- - blackness ... midst
4. - God:
the Judge
of all (quick
and dead) ...
midst
- - tempest
5.
-
the spirits of just men: made perfect
- - sound of a trumpet
6.
- Jesus: the mediator of the new covenant
- - voice of words (plural)
7.
-
blood: that speaketh better
things
But let us remember there
is both a stumblingstone to stumble over and fall, from grace
to law
and
a rock of offence to possibly off end laid in "Sion", which is not
"Zion" in the Old Testament
(KJV), and that Zion is not
even mentioned in the New Testament (KJV). Also let us notice it is
"ye" (do err) of ye/you who are come
unto mount Sion, and that it
can be a fearful thing to fall into the (plural) hands of the living
God in Hebrews
10:31, and fallen is from
grace to law in Galatians 5:4. So perhaps there is more to
consider than just being better of two things if what's
greater of
great/greater can also be "greater damnation", and being mediated is
for
disagreement rather than reconciled for agreement, especially if we're
told that only what's greatest of three things is what never fails and never forsakes.
Not to mention other aspects of the seven
things of the seven "ands" concerning Sion, like Sion can be only the
better thing of twain Zion/Sion instead of what's best for all, and
such aleph/tahv can oft be mirrorly
reversed such as with/against ... justified/condemned in Mt
12:30-37's 5 either ors, or that Sion can also be thought to be Zion as
many modern Bible translations deem it. Not to mention the living God can also be a fall and a fearful thing if such has plural hands: sides: parts
still having partiality instead of going on unto the perfection of
wholeness: oneness: allness: above: higher than heavens. Not to mention
God as Judge (capital
J) in the midst of such seven perhaps speaks of a Judge of both the
quick and dead as in Acts 10:42's Judge (capital J); But in
Mt 22:32; Mk 12:27; Lk 20:38 we're told God is NOT the God of the dead,
but only the God of the living. Not to mention a mediator (Jesus) is
not [the mediator] of one (God), but God is one: Galatians; Perhaps
indicating reconciled
is above mediated, which is to say one is not twain, but above twain. Not
to mention blood that speaketh "better" things is only better of
good/better/best, better of twain things instead of best of three
things; As forgiven is better than unforgiven of unforgiven/forgiven,
as grace is better than law of law/grace. Yet we are told charity (the
"greatest" of "three" things) thinketh no evil to
even forgive, and that charity never fails is put on
"above" seven things like forgiving one another mentioned in Colossians
3:12-14. So then, perhaps Sion is assocaited with seven things, one
being forgiving one another, which is obviously better than desiring
vengeance; Yet there is also an asepct that is above such seven things,
called charity never
fails.
So, maybe we should even look higher than
Sion of Zion/Sion
if that great city, holy
Jerusalem descends out of heaven
rather than ascends into heaven: Revelation 21:10. Interestingly, Sion
seems to have a sevenfold aspect and occurs seven times in the New
Testament KJV; However, along with mention of Sion in Hebrews 12:22 we
have "and" (also) x7 to consider, along with the possibility of
stumbling on a stumblingstone laid in Sion or being off ended by a rock
of offence.
Sevenfold Sion (?) is mentioned seven times in the New
Testament:
- Matthew 21:5
Tell ye the
daughter of Sion,
Behold, thy King cometh unto thee,
meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.
- John
12:15 Fear not, daughter of Sion : behold, thy
King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.
- Romans
9:33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a
stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him
shall not be ashamed.
- Romans
11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is
written,
There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away
ungodliness from Jacob:
- Hebrews
12:22 But ye are come unto mount Sion , and unto
the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an
innumerable company of angels,
- 1
Peter 2:6 Wherefore also it is contained in the
scripture,
Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious:
and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
- Revelation
14:1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the
mount Sion, and with him an
hundred forty [and] four thousand, having his Father's name written in
their foreheads.
Some Examples of Seven Times and Seventh
Time
“And he (Jacob) passed over before them, and bowed himself to the
ground seven times, until he came near to his brother (Essau)”
(Genesis 33)
“And the priest shall dip his finger of the blood, and sprinkle
seven times before the LORD” (Leviticus 4)
“I will chastise you seven times for your sins”
(Leviticus 26)
“And he (Elijah) said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the
sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, nothing. And
he said, Go again seven times. And it came to pass at the seventh
time ”. (1Kings 18)
“A just (man) falleth seven times, and riseth up again:
but the wicked shall fall into mischief”. (Proverb 24)
“ Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy
righteous judgments”. (Psalm 119)
“The words of the LORD [are] pure words; [ as] silver tried in a
furnace of earth, purified seven times” (Psalm 12:6)
“Let his (Nebuchadnezzar, the Babylonian king’s) heart be changed
from man’s, and let a beast’s heart be given unto him; and let seven
times pass over him. This matter (is) by the decree of the
watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to
the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the
kingdom
of men …” (Daniel 4)
Note:
Comment About Seven Times and The Seventh Day
Seven times seems to be a
matter of decree with intent of knowing who
ruleth.
Some perceive it allegory for a seven thousand year
period they call the seven thousand year plan of God, based on "a
thousand years [is] as one day" (Psalms 90:4 / 2Peter 3:8).
However, the same people seem to overlook the entire Bible is "allegory" in both
"covenants": Galatians 4; And the seventh
day of Genesis 2 has no mention of both "evening and morning"
(as six
days of Genesis 1 do have); Which is allegory for God and the
day(light) of God: the seventh day, do not have both darkness(law) and
light(grace). Also the 1,000 years mentioned in Revelation 20 is
perhaps 1 day in Acts 12: Easter.
For Peter says be not ignorant of this: 1,000 yrs as 1 day AND 1 day as 1000 yrs. The prophetic "third day"
is the seventh day, and the seventh day is not another millennium
as many presume it to be by they sayers who say it is by saying things
like the third millennium for beyond 2,000AD, such John-Paul II did in
1999.
