COMPLETION · FULLNESS · REST

The Power of Seven

In Scripture, seven repeatedly marks a complete and ordered work. The pattern is established in Creation: six stages of work lead to a seventh stage of completion, blessing, and rest. Seven is not presented as possessing power by itself; its meaning comes from the order God established and repeatedly uses to bring a sequence to fullness.
