THE SEVEN: #1 The Holy Number Seven

A fact unknown to many Bible readers is that the Bible contains numeric codes that reveal the prophetic mysteries of God’s preeminent plans.

Welcome to our Number Seven Series. Today’s topic is “The Holy Number Seven.”

A fact unknown to many Bible readers is that the Bible contains numeric codes that reveal the prophetic mysteries of God’s preeminent plans. The book of Revelation contains the golden key to these codes - the number seven. The number seven unlocks the symbolic portrayals of angels, demons, churches, and principalities on Heaven’s side. In my teaching series, I will work to unveil the secrets behind this Holy number.

THE HOLY NUMBER OF SEVEN

Why would God use a mysterious numeric code system? First of all, the organic Hebrew language is based on numbers & pictures - not a letter system. Secondly, symbols are pictures, and pictures are God's primary methodology to communicate with the human mind, which He created. Pictures and numbers provoke immediate understanding. While letters and languages require immense work, a single picture communicates a thousand words.

Since our Lord communicates in pictures, His Pictorial Hebrew language has been forced into being forgotten by His greatest enemy. Today it is mostly unknown and appears to be a secretive spiritual code. I have spent years learning the Pictorial Hebrew language. In fact, I started most of my studies by reading & translating through this organic language. For example. The number six comes from a picture of a “nail.” In Hebrew, the number six is the numeric code for “man.” When applied to the New Covenant, it reveals that the nail that pierced the hands of Jesus was implemented by man. In the book of Revelation, 666 not only reveals the mark of the beast, but the first six reveals the beast as Satan, the father of the fallen nature of man, falling short of the number seven. The second six communicates the numeric code of sin, and the final six reveals the fallen nature of humanity – Adam & Eve.

In God’s Pictorial Hebrew, He assigned a number to every picture. Those of us who are able to read the original language can read the Word of God by numbers. For example. “Alef,” the first picture, is number one; it means house, tent, or tribe. This is where the Greeks get “Alpha,” the beginning. The last picture in Pictorial Hebrew is “Tav,” which means “cross, seal, covenant, or the end.” Again, this is where the Greeks get their word “Omega.” When Jesus said I am the Alpha and Omega, He was saying I am the first of creation and the finality of the end of humanity.

God uses the number SEVEN frequently because the number seven is the Hebrew numeric code of “Zayin,” which means “to cut off.” When Adam and Eve choose to sin by joining the Serpent, they become the sixth letter of the Hebrew descriptive, “Vav,” which means “securely added to the lesser.” Simply put, they became the number six. The conclusion is seven means being “cut off” from perfection.

Knowing these basics is why Jesus had to come as the “Second Adam” in the form of a six. After His resurrection, He returned to the perfect SEVEN. Furthermore, the logic in the heavy usage of the number six in the book of Revelation is to terminate the number six, sin, eternally. All of the Bible’s prophecies center around this mission.

In this series, “The Number Seven,” we will meticulously extract the numeric codes of the Heavenly Father and Jesus’s role within each while explaining how the Bride of Christ becomes the perfect SEVEN in and through Christ. I hope you will join us in this mind-bending series.

Did you know that in the book of Revelation alone, there are 54 notations of the number seven? Within the Bible as a whole, there are 312 verses making use of this number. Within this study series, we will address many of these references. You will love this study if you are fascinated by God’s organic Pictorial Hebrew language & the secrets hidden within God’s Bible codes.

Let’s start with the basics. The numbering patterns that God uses for humanity are based on eternity. However, there is a numeric difference between what He established for humanity and that of Himself, for example. One day to God is one thousand years for humanity (2 Peter 3:8). One hour to God is 41.7 years to humanity. Ten minutes to God is seven years to the day for mankind. In this, we discover the logic in the statement of the Day of Judgment being the Thousand Year Reign of Jesus Christ. This should raise a question. Why did God separate His timeline from that of humanity?

While the answer may appear complex, it is not.

Sin separated the timelines, not God. Let’s assume that Adam and Even did not choose to sin. Sin would not have aged the couple or their offspring in this scenario. Both would have avoided death. Furthermore, the earth would have remained perfect, as will be the case for the New Earth. Each would have lived on as all the Heavenly principalities. Since they sinned, the aging process started when they were separated from God. Both of their bodies began to die daily until death ultimately took their breath.

Once the great flood occurred, the canopy over the earth was broken, and clouds separated, exposing human bodies to the harsh elements of the sun. This not only shortened the life span of earth dwellers, but it also opened the door to diseases manifesting in the human body. Since the day that Noah’s family came off the boat, humanity has been shrinking in size, living shorter lives, and are forced to deal with their bodies dying ultimately through diseases or natural causes.

Because God knew ahead of time that Adam and Eve would choose death, when God created the earth, even in its formless state, He put in motion the Sun, marking the separation of light and darkness. The logic was in reminding Adam and Eve and their descendants of their choice and that their choice to sin separated humanity from the Light and timeline of Christ. They were swapping it out for the timeline of humanity & death, which was propagated by the serpent of darkness. The modality of dark and light was ignited when Satan, then Lucifer, who was an angel of Light, defied God. At that very moment, darkness and light became enemies. No darkness existed until Satan attempted to take the throne of Light. When God placed him on the formless planet, now Earth, God put into place a method of reminding Satan, his demons, and all of humanity of the choice Satan made in Heaven. The moment Satan was placed on the formless planet, he became the angel of darkness.        

God started His emphasis on the number seven before humanity was created. God steps out of the gate by creating the earth and its glorious environment by establishing a seven-day week through the planet, turning on its axis. He did this by creating the sun and turning the formless planet on a twenty-four-hour schedule, which was to replicate the twenty-four elders He has posted around His throne (Rev. 5:8). Special note: no numbers are directly connected to His Holy Throne. All numeric values on earth reveal who God is and His functionality. This evolved from the number seven, representing God's name and perfect numeric code. Through God’s creation pattern, the number seven is established and revealed in creation for humanity.

The Pictorial Hebrew number seven is Zayin, which means to cut off. The pattern of humanity’s number seven was initiated when God cut them off from eternal Life after they chose to sin, separating themselves from the seven and then becoming a part of the second six, sin. After that, both became the third six, Satan being the first. That dictates the usage of the number 666 in the Book of Revelation. To simplify, Zayin was, and is, the action of being cut off from the perfect number seven.

If we read the Hebrew alphabet in numeric order, we have the perfect story of creation - Satan’s works, the fall of humanity, and the redemptive plan of restoration.

(1) Alef, the first leader, Jesus, (2) Bet, the tribe of Israel, (3) Gimel, the Beast that is lifted up, (4) Dalet, Jesus’s path to enter, (5) Hey, to reveal the Christ, (6) Vav, man & beast who nailed or crucified the Christ, (7) Zayin, who is cut off from the Christ, (8) Chet, who entered the inner room, (9) Tet, who was surrounded by the snake, (10) Yood, Christ fulfilled the deed, (11) Kaf, the Alef, Christ, opened the pathway, (12) Lamed, Christ the ultimate authority, (13) Mem, who survived the flood, (14) Noon, who became Life, (15) Samech, provided support, (16) Ayin, for all to see, (17) Pey, to speak the Word, (18) Tsakik, as a fisher of men, (19) Koof, who will be the last, (20) Reysh, who is the highest, and (21) Sheen, to consume or destroy, and (22) Tav, is the final covenant.

The Hebrew numeric system is important.

Moses, King David, and other early writers used Hebrew Pictorial letters to write the words God gave them. During the Babylonian exile, the Jews started moving to a “squared off” version, which became the beginning of straying from the original pictorial version. As God would have it, the original version remained intact – this is what I use.
