Meaning of the Number 7, According to the Bible & Numerology

Something can be as plain as day and yet still have its overall meaning missed.

Numerology is everywhere, not just in life path numbers or scripture.

You may notice digital patterns when seeing repeated numbers like 111 or 666, but there's more to what you see. Don't think so?

I’m going to ask you a series of questions. How many days are in a week?

How many colors are in a rainbow?

How many wonders of the world are there? How about days of the week?

If you answered with the number seven, you’re right, hooray!

Now I know these weren’t hard questions, but allow me to ask you a more open-ended one: have you ever realized how much seven is around you?

Let me explain. Along with the examples above, there are even more that we don’t even really think about.

First, seven is the prime of prime numbers, meaning that it’s the only one within the first ten that you can’t multiply within the group.

1. Seven also plays a role in memory.

In a study done in the 1950s, it was determined that seven was the most amount of items of information a person could retain and recall quickly.

That’s why things like phone numbers are only seven digits long (minus area code).

Because of these associations, this is mostly why seven is considered to be lucky. The other part of the explanation is really just superstition.

But hey, as long as you see those three red sevens in a row on the slots, you’re making money and that’s all that matters right?

2. Seven has roots in the spiritual.

Putting earthly things aside, seven also has significance in religion.

In Islam, the march around Mecca is seven times around. In Buddhism, the new Buddha takes seven steps. But there’s no other religion that shows off the number seven quite like Christianity.
