Long thought to be a lucky number, and one of significance, I can't even begin to describe what that number has meant to me...If you need an idea, my son's middle name, is Seven...If you look at the baby pic in my root admin account, I have on a jersey, w/the number seven...
God supposedly created the world in Seven days...There are Seven days in the week, etc...It's just a great number...
Does anywone else, more specifically my awesome teacher, have other tidbits about the number they can share..? Or does anyone else have a connection to a number..?

Joshua 18:2 There remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet divided their inheritance.
18:3 Joshua said to the children of Israel, How long are you slack to go in to possess the land, which Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has given you?
18:5 They shall divide it into seven portions: Judah shall abide in his border on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their border on the north.
18:6 You shall describe the land into seven portions, and bring the description here to me; and I will cast lots for you here before YHVH our God.
Spiritual Israel is developed by the sequence of the seven year cycle as explained in the parable of the tree.
Luke 13:6-9 And he told this parable: "A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came seeking fruit on it and found none. And he said to the vinedresser, 'Lo, these three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. Cut it down; why should it use up the ground?' And he answered him, 'Let it alone, sir, this year also, till I dig about it and put on it manure. And if it bears fruit next year, well and good; but if not, you can cut it down.'"
In Luke 13:6-9 the fig tree was not to be cut down. The first three years were years of growth. The fourth year was one of pruning and fertilising. The fifth year is a year of grace. The sixth year is the year of man when the person is thrown back on the base level of his development. This is the test. It is our year of trial to test ourselves. The seventh year is the year of rest. That is done in seven cycles. Each time you go on to spiritual growth. Each Passover you go on to whatever job you have to do. You then produce fruits worthy of repentance. This is somewhat complicated but it is being simplified in order to understand the framework. The construction of the Temple is based upon the explanation of this system. The Temple is a physical representation of the development of the elect until they come into the Holy of Holies. This sequence is explained also in the paper.
There were SEVEN FEAST days of our Lord. (Passover, Unleavened, First-fruits, Pentecost, Atonement, Trumpets and Tabernacle). (Leviticus 23:1-44)
There were SEVEN branches on the CANDLESTICK in the Holy Place in the Tabernacle and this pictures the COMPLETE light of God for the souls of man.
Solomon was SEVEN years in building the Temple and kept the Feast for SEVEN days. Job had SEVEN sons.
The beast which is †™ ¢‚¬„¢¢‚¬Å¡‚¢†™‚¢‚¢¢¢‚¬Å¡‚¬¦‚¡¢‚¬Å¡‚¬†™¢¢¬‚¦‚¢¢¢‚¬Å¡‚¬¦¢‚¬Å“A city built on seven hills," identified as the seven hills of ancient Rome. This argument is based on Revelation 17:9, which states that the woman sits on seven mountains or †™ ¢‚¬„¢¢‚¬Å¡‚¢†™‚¢‚¢¢¢‚¬Å¡‚¬¦‚¡¢‚¬Å¡‚¬†™¢¢¬‚¦‚¢¢¢‚¬Å¡‚¬¦¢‚¬Å“horos. The seven (the Quirinal, Viminal, Esquiline, Caelian, Aventine, Palatine, and Capitoline hills) are on the east side of the Tiber river.
