Posts Tagged ‘Meaning of number 7’

Today the Republic of Vanuatu (island nation in the South Pacific east of Australia) had 3 earthquakes of 7 or above www.USGS.gov  and 5 smaller quakes– all on the same day. The first one was 7.5 at 16.55 UTC, the second was 7.1 at 16.55 UTC, the third was 7.0 at 18.19 UTC.  The 7.5 quake at 16.55  UTC was later changed to a 7.1, but I got an email alert on both.

It is interesting to note that the quakes were on Saturday (Shabbat) and the epicenter was on Sunday (1st day of the week).

The Hebrew letters always carry a numberical meaning and Zayin carries the numerical value of 7. The pictograph of Zayin was ‘a sword’ and both the symbol and number of Zayin mean to cut, particularly to ‘cut time’. On God’s calendar, there are 7 days in a week, 7 weeks of 7 between the Passover Feasts and Pentecost, 7th month is Nisan- when the new year begins on the bibical calendar, every 7 years the land rests (shemitah year) and the Jubilee year begins after 7 sets of 7 years.
