SEVEN

Now we come to the number Seven. There is no need for a great deal of thought or research or study or consideration as Seven is so obviously the number of completion that it doesn’t need any justification. One of the ways you mark dead scholarship or dead-orthodox foolishness, where it crosses the word of God, is by the mania of scholarship to count every number as a “round number” or a “complete number.” If you read very many commentaries on the Scriptures (which I hope you don’t) or read very many scholarly works on the Scripture by dead-orthodox scholars (which would be a waste of your money and your time), you’ll find whenever a number is given, the scholar simply dismisses it by saying, “This is not an exact number, but a round number showing completeness.” This asinine procedure is followed by the greatest conservative scholars in the world until it just gets to be down right ridiculous. “The 1,000 years in Revelation is not a real period of time but a round number of completeness”; “Gideon had more than 300 men, but the scribe simply used 300 as a round or complete number,” and so forth and so on. Ad nauseum!

The number Seven is the number of completeness, and there is no other number that is as complete as the number Seven. This can be proved anywhere, as someone once said, “From Generation to Resolution.”

To begin with, we have the present earth and heaven, and I say present (not the one in Genesis 1:1). The present earth and heaven is made in six days, and God ceases from His work on the seventh day. As a matter of fact, that is how the Bible begins, and it is interesting to note that when the Bible ends, it ends with a book where the words, “this Book,” are found seven times, where there are seven bowls, seven vials, seven trumpets, seven candlesticks, seven spirits, and seven churches. The Book, being an infinite Book, goes in a circle (and anybody who reads the book of Revelation knows that already). The Tree of Life found in Genesis shows up in Revelation. The paradise of God in Genesis shows up in Revelation. It takes you right back in a circle. That’s why the Bible is not a “drop in an ocean of truth” (as we hear propounded by the leading infidels of the National Council of Churches), but it is the whole cotton-pickin’ ocean—including several hundred billion square miles of water above the universe that the National Council hasn’t found yet!

Seven is plainly the number of completion. This is apparent at the beginning of the Bible and at the end of the Bible. If it were not apparent from here, one would see immediately from studying Leviticus 23 and 25 that God doesn’t do anything without “sevening” it. As a matter of fact, the word for seven in the Hebrew is the same word as to swear or put yourself under an oath.
