The Bible numerology code numbers 7 and 6

 (Compiled by Ian Thomas).

  The number seven is one of the most significant numbers of the Bible because it is the number of spiritual perfection. It is the number which is stamped on every work of God. We can observe the importance of this number in nature too. Be it physics, chemistry or music we can see they are all based on this number of God’s work. All music that is created is based on seven basic notes of music, the eight note is just a higher or lower octave. If light is passed through a prism then it splits into seven parts, this is known by a very famous abbreviation VIBGYOR. There are seven basic crystal systems in minerals. Even in the periodic table we can observe that there are seven levels of periodicity. Therefore it is often said that the Holy Bible is the master textbook of all sciences be it physics,, chemistry or music.

Seven occurs 287 times in the scriptures 287= 7X41. The fraction seventh also occurs 98 times 98=7X14. The words seven-fold also occur 7 times. It is observed that all these numbers are multiples of seven but it is very remarkable to note that 287+98+7=392 and 392 is eight times square of 7. Seven is made up of two numbers four and three. Four being the perfect world number and three the number of divine perfection. The number seven is most sacred to the Hebrews. Therefore it represents a perfect world which is crowned by heaven. So seven denotes completeness through union of earth with heaven. There are seven churches, seven spirits, seven stars, seven seals, seven trumpets, seven dooms, seven new things, seven personages, etc.

On seventh day the creation was complete. Thus the number seven represents completeness. After the seventh day the world was complete and nothing could be added to it neither could something be taken away from it without marring it. So the world was perfect on the seventh day. The word finished is also connected with the number seven. The word created is used seven times in connection with God’s work. The high priest sprinkled blood on the mercy seat seven times on the Day of Atonement; this denotes completeness in the redemptive works of God. The candlestick in the Holy place of Tabernacle had seven branches and this denotes the completeness in the light of God for man’s soul. The blessings of the Lord are promised to His people seven times in the Book of Revelation. Life operates in a cycle of sevens. Every seven years changes occur in our body. There are seven bones in our face, neck, ankle and there are seven holes in our head. The mystery of God is completed in the seventh vial of the seventh trumpet of the seventh seal. There are seven parables of Mathews. There are seven mysteries. The seven eternal things in Hebrews.

Abraham’s blessing was a seven fold blessing. The psalms are stamped with the number seven in many ways. Thus the psalms are spiritually perfect. There are seven names mentioned of the authors of the psalms David, the sons of Korah, Asaph, Heman the Ezrahite, Ethan the Ezrahite, Moses and Solomon. Seven men of god are mentioned in the Old Testament. There are seven miracles in John’s Gospel. Seven appearances of the angel are mentioned; to the shepherds, to Joseph, to Joseph, after the temptation, In Gesthsemane, at the Resurrection, at the Ascension. There are seven gifts of Christ in John’s Gospel: His flesh, His life, His example, The comforter, My peace, His words, His glory. Gold is a symbol of God’s grace and glory. In the Bible seven words are used for Gold. Some words which occur seven times are a girdle, memorial, husbandman, to be angry, a decree, to restrain, to search, clean, corn, fat, covenant, captivity, a fleece, a garden, grass, to refine, living, little children, a Jew, to beget, I pray, to fast, a worm, satan, a maiden, beauty, these words occur in the Old Testament. In the New Testament the words which occur seven times are to purify, air, resurrection, deceit, to be absent, pieces of silver money, a star, incorruptible, to reign, servant, to know, master, commandment, to be chief, presence or coming, a kiss, a song, Zion. If these words are studied carefully then it will be observed that all these words are somehow related to perfection and completeness.

Therefore we see the number seven is a number of perfection and completeness. In every aspect of our lives we can see the significance of this number. It is therefore a number which is impressed upon every work of God. This number holds a very important and sacred place in the Word of God as inspired by the Holy Spirit. The number seven is a great number and is symbolic of spiritual perfection.

The number 6 is significant in the Bible because it is the number of Man, the number of imperfection in man’s work. It is a human number. It implies man’s existence sans God, sans Christ. The number 6 is concerned and related only to man. Six can be represented in various forms like 4+2, 4 represents man’s world and 2 shows man’s enmity with God or 5+1 where 5 represents God’s grace but 5+1 means that god’s grace is made futile with addition of perversion and corruption by man. 6 can also be written as 7-1 which means man is not able to attain spiritual perfection, i.e. he is falling short of attaining spiritual perfection. Thus, number 6 in the Bible is related to man and his imperfections or shortcomings. According to the Bible man was created on the sixth day so this number has been permanently impressed upon him. Also six days were given to man to do labor and to toil and work one day has been as rest, to connect with God. Number six is stamped upon everything that is related with man’s labor, be it measurements he works with or the time during which he works. For example the unit of measurement the foot is equal to 12 inches which is a multiple of 6 (12=2X6). The day consists of 24 hours (24=6X4), a day is divided into day and night each of 12 hours, an hour has 60 minutes (60=6X10), a minute again has 60 seconds. Also the serpent or the snake was created on the sixth day and the Sixth Commandments (among the Ten Commandments) talks about the worst sin i.e. murder.

Number six also has few other very significant occurrences like Jesus was charged with a devil six times. “He hath Beelzebub”, “Thou hast a Devil”, “Say we not well that…Thou hast a devil?”, “Now we know that thou hast a Devil”, “He hath a Devil and is mad” and “He casteth out devils by Beelzebub”. Man’s opposition to God’s work was a six-fold opposition which is seen as the opposition to Nehemiah. The six folds consisted of six steps like Grief, Laughter, wrath indignation and mocking, fighting and open opposition, conference, false friends. There are six names for the serpent (Nachash, ak-shoov, ephah, tsiph-ohnee, Tanneen, Saraph) and there are six names for lion (Aree, Shachal, K’Pheer, Lah-yish, Lahvee, Shachatz). There are a few words which occur six times in the Bible like destruction, bar, shame, to change, ungodliness, entreat shamefully, abomination. A deep study of the scriptures will reveal the deeper meaning of all these words. A casual reader will overlook the fact that all these words have the same significance as the number six i.e. man’s imperfection and shortcomings.

The Great Pyramid has the number six impressed upon its measurements. Its unit was inch and its sexagesimal multiples. The first multiple is the foot (2X6), and then it rises at 18(3X6), 24(4X6) and so on. The Great pyramid’s base shows that the unit of measurement inch was derived from the division of the original circuit, 36,000 inches or 1000 yard. The number six not only signifies labor but also sorrow. There is no rest unless we have peace with God. Twelve which is the number of governmental perfection, when it is divided by two it becomes six, therefore number six denotes imperfection in the method of rule and the administration. For instance King Solomon’s throne had six steps and his kingdom soon fell apart i.e. it was divided. It was six times that the Lord was asked for a sign: The Pharisees; Mathew, the Sadducees; Mathew, the Disciples; Mathew, The People; Luke, The Jews; John, and The People; John. There were six people who bore the testimony to the Savior’s innocence: Pilate, Herod, Judas, Pilate’s wife, The dying thief, and The centurion.

Thus, the number 6 in the Bible is all about man and his labor. It signifies man’s shortcomings and the corruption he added into the world created by God. In whatever way we mathematically represent six it signifies corruption and imperfection only. It shows mans as one who is destitute of God. Since was created on the sixth day of creation so this number is permanently stamped on him and he will bear this number always. Number six not only denotes human labor but also human sorrow. Since God’s perfection is corrupted by human corruption so man is bound to suffer from sorrows. Six days have been given to man to work and perform labor and one day for rest and this we can observe in the modern era too. It is also true that the creation ended on the sixth day, i.e. God completed the creation of the world on the sixth day so it also represents secular completeness.
