Have you noticed how frequently the number 7 appears in the Bible? This blog will attempt to feature all the times that “7” appears, but not only when the Bible identifies the number.
For example, Revelation 1.11 refers, “to the seven churches which are in Asia…” but there are other sevens in the Book of Revelation that the Bible does not enumerate for us, such as the seven beatitudes in the Book of Revelation.
This happens frequently throughout the Bible. However, this is not the work of one person alone; I need your help to accomplish this daunting task.
By the way, have you seen all seven of the beatitudes in the Book of Revelation?
Sevens in the Bible 
Thank you – this is WONDERFUL
Thanks for your kind words.
The 7 Pillars… Start there. They are KNOWLEDGE BASES.
Wisdom comes from understanding them. What kind of wisdom you get depends on your eyes, perspective. Is it from the spirit of origin, truth or looking up from the bottom of the Pillar. They are known to Soloman but understood fully only by the Yeshua, the Savior. HE IS INFINITELY THE 8. THE PROPHECY BECAME THE PROPHET THE SON OF ALL POWER, GLORY AND AUTHORITY. TOOK THIER KEYS AND THRONES.
In Acts 21 :9 , it mentions ‘Philip the evangelist, one of the Seven’
Who are the others in the Seven ‘group’?
According to Acts 6.5, the seven include: Stephen, Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas.
I am Natalie, I was wondering why’s the number 7 so special. It’s my favorite number because my dad was 7 in Baseball, & he died a few years ago though. That’s why it’s my favorite. Now let me ask you, why isn’t 13 a special number? Judias Iscariot, betrayed jesus, was the last person to the Last supper. Building don’t have a 13th floor & stop at least at 12, & Disney’s Tower of Terror is based on the 13th floor, & horror
Hi, Natalie. That is a good question about why 7 is special. I have often wondered that myself. I ask myself, Why is 7 special to God? So far, I have not been able to come up with an answer, except that it represents perfection.
And why is 13 not a special number? Again, another good question, and I do not know why. However, man makes it into a superstitutous number.
Great post Don. We’re gonna like checking in with you from time to time.
Thanks.
Did you know that 2023 adds up to 7 and is divisible by 7? There are only 3 numbers between the year 2000 and 3000 that have these attributes. I think the rapture might be in the year 2023.
That is interesting about the year 2023, but I do not believe that the Second Coming of Christ can be predicted. Jesus said that it will be like a thief in the night, that is at a time that we do not expect.
He said no one knows the day or the hour..he never said anything about the year. And, besides that I am not being dogmatic about it..I just find it very interesting. Regarding the passage about a thief in the night..that was a reference of what it will be like for unbelievers…read it again you will see.
Karen,
In First Thessalonians 5, Paul said, “But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, ‘Peace and safety!’ then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.”
The expression, “the times and the seasons,” speaks of years or a general time period. Therefore, not only are we not able to figure out the hour and the day, but we cannot even figure out the general timeframe or year.
Jesus coming like a thief in the night will not “overtake” Christians, but they do not know the time in anyway either. My proof of that is to see all the attempts to nail down that time, and every single prophecy of man has failed.
I do thank you for your comments and that you are reading this web site.
Don
Are you familiar with triangle numbers in the bible? They are 1, then 6, then 10 and so forth. What is interesting is that the numbers that are divisible by 7 are all divisible by 7. For example the 7th triangle number is 28 and it is divisible by 7, the 14th triangle number is 105 and it is divisible by 7, the 21st triangle number is 231 and it is divisible by 7..all of the numbers that are divisible by 7 are divisible by 7..it’s amazing. Are you familiar with triangle numbers?
Karen, I am not familiar with triangle numbers. Thanks for the information!
The word Selah is in the book of Psalms seventy times.
Trae Lee, I did a search and found that 71 verses have it. That was in the New King James Version. Which translation did you do your count in?
Hi! I love this! I was saved at seven and ever since I began reading the Bible I have loved how many 7’s there are!
Not sure if you have this yet, but… Noah’s Daddy died at 777 years old!
Genesis 5:31 All the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died.
Thanks for this site!
Thank you, Glenda. Wait until we get to the Book of Revelation, which if God had asked me what he should title that book, I would have said the Book of Sevens! How did I possibly miss Noah’s Daddy? Thanks for pointing that out to me. I will add it.
