We have discussed many ways in which the Scriptures are totally perfect. Factual detail is completely consistent throughout the Bible. Mathematically, however, the Bible is an utterly fantastic phenomenon. Maintaining the mathematical purity showed by the Scriptures would be completely impossible for any number of modern computers, much less for man to do it two to three thousand years ago. A man named Rocky Freeman, a fulfilled Jew, produced a small book entitled, "The Amazing Sevens." You should get a copy and read it in its entirety. The following list of sevens is representative of what the Scriptures contain:
-- Seven days for creation.
-- Seven days until the Sabbath.
-- Seven days for Noah to gather the animals.
-- Seven persons were with Noah.
-- Seven years of plenty and seven years of famine.
-- Seven priests, with seven trumpets, were to encompass the walls of Jericho for seven days and on the seventh day, Jericho fell into the hands of Israel.
-- Seven days were required for the unclean to be cleansed.
-- Seven items were required in many of the sacrifices.
-- Seven days, Job's friends sat with him.
-- Seven years were required to build the temple.
-- Seven Feasts were enumerated in Leviticus.
-- Seventy-seventh from Adam was Christ.
-- Seven hours was Christ on the cross.
-- Sevens in the book of Revelation are abundant.
There are literally thousands of sevens used in the Scriptures. Seven, as a number, indicates totality of completion.
