Some important uses of the number seven

 

Some important uses of the number seven (7). One of a series.

This blog has previously had posts of posters displaying important uses of the numbers two - six, in our culture. Here's a poster for seven. God willing, there will be posters for eight, nine, ten and twelve in the next few days.

Clearly, seven was important in Biblical and religious culture. But sometimes the importance seems to be exaggerated. There are thirty-six occurrences of "seven" in Revelation, not just the one at the bottom of the poster. But none of these are about seven years, although some interpretations of the Bible hold that there will be a seven year tribulation during the end times. Perhaps. Perhaps not.

Thanks for looking!
