Genesis 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
Joseph mourned for his father, Jacob for seven days. The Hebrews were commanded to eat unleavened bread for seven days. Manna fell for six days but on the seventh day there was none, a Hebrew servant was to be set free in the seventh year. The Hebrews were told to march around Jericho for seven days. They were required to blow the trumpet for seven days. The earth was required to rest every seventh year.
Naaman had to dip seven times in the muddy Jordan. The famine in Egypt was to last seven years, following seven years of plenty. And in the last book of the Bible, you see the seven last plagues. By this time a rational thinking person would be scratching their head as they wonder why the number seven is being repeated so often. It is because God does not want us to forget the 7th day Sabbath, thus, ever so often He reminds us.
And we can go on and on and on. Therefore, it is without a doubt that God teaches us by repetition, because the number 7 is referenced over 500 times. The same is true as we study God’s health care plan for, He goes to work, both in the Bible, and through His servants, the prophets, and He repeats Himself over, and over again. God comes to us from various angles and from different sources that would appeal to our intellect, as we reason from cause to effect.
Genesis 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. 4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
