The King James Bible And The Number 7 (interesting research)

The number 7 is an often-repeated number in King James Bible but not many people know that many important words and phrases in the KJV bible also appear in multiples of 7. Counting the number of times a word appears in the KJV Bible can be a delight and a source of increased confidence in the Word of God. So lets take a look at a list, Enjoy; “God” – 4081 times = (7x583) “God of Israel” - 203 times = (7x23) “Lord God” – 546 times = (7x78) “God Almighty & Almighty God” – 14 times = (7x2) “Most High” – 49 times = (7x7) “Word of God” – 49 times = (7x7) “Thunders” – 7 times = (7x1) “Book(s)” – 196 times =(7x28) “Book”- 42times in the NT – (7x6) “Kingdom of God” – 70 times = (7x10) “King” (caped) – 70 times = (7x10) “son of man” – 196 times = (7x28) “Jesus Christ” – 196 times = (7x28) “Jesus” – 980 times = (7x40) “Beloved Son” – 7 times = (7x1) “Forgive” – 56 times = (7x8) “Forgiven” – 42 times = (7x6) “Forgiveness” – 7 times (7x1) “Forgive in all it’s forms” – 112 times = (7x16) “Reconciled” – 7 times = (7x1) “Confess” – 28 times = (7x4) “Confessed” – 7 times) = (7x1) “Favour” – 70 times = (7x10) “Sanctify” – 70 times = (7x10) “Wool” – 14 times =(7x2) “Consecrate” – 14 times = (7x2) “Consecrated” – 14 times = (7x2) “Holy Spirit” – 7 times = (7x1) “Message” – 7 times = (7x1) “Gospel of God” – 7 times = (7x1) “Finished” – 42 times = (7x6) “Church” – 77 times = (7x11) “Bride” – 14 times = (7x2) “In Christ” – 77 times = (7x11) “Baptize and variants” – 77 times = (7x11) “Witnesses” – 49 times = (7x7) “Tabernacle of the Congregation” – 133 times = (7x19) “Passover(s)” – 77 times = (7x11) “Husbandman” – 7 times = (7x1) “Peculiar” – 7 times = (7x1) “Workmanship” – 7 times = (7x1) “Assembly” – 49 times = (7x7) “Fishers” – 7 times = (7x1) “Kinsmen” – 7 times = (7x1) “Daughter of Zion (Sion)” – 28 times = (7x4) “Daughter of Jerusalem” – 7 times = (7x1) “Children of Israel” – 644 times = (7x92) “Weeks” – 28 times = (7x4) “Rested” – 21 times = (7x3) “Seventh Day & Seventh Month” – 77 times in the OT = (7x11) “Angel of the Lord” – 56 times in the OT = (7x9) “Sabbath” – 77 times in the OT = (7x11) Note: 7 letters in the word. “Seven times” – 35 times = (7x5) “Seven Days” – 98 times = (7x14) “Seven Years” – 42 times = (7x6) “Perfectly” – 7 times = (7x1) “Mount of God & Mountain of God” – 7 times = (7x1) “Works of God” – 7 times = (7x1) “Power of God” – 14 times = (7x2) “Ends of the Earth” – 28 times = (7x4) “The end of the World” – 7 times = (7x1) “Thus saieth the Lord of Hosts” – 70 times = (7x10)

Why God Does Not Want Us to Speak to the Dead

People throughout history have sought to communicate with dead loved ones and to listen to their advice and experiences. But is it right to attend a séance or to seek a spiritist medium? Consider what the Bible says.

Leviticus 19:31 New International Version (NIV) 31 “‘Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God. 20:6 “‘I will set my face against anyone who turns to mediums and spiritists to prostitute themselves by following them, and I will cut them off from their people. 27 “‘A man or woman who is a medium or spiritist among you must be put to death. You are to stone them; their blood will be on their own heads.’”

So God makes that pretty clear how He feels about trying to talk to the dead or the fate of those who become mediums. In the Bible King Saul, Isreal's first king, consulted a spiritist medium. At he time Saul did this, he was living in rebellion against God. In fact, Saul disobeyed his own law, which forbade consulting mediums and spiritists (1 Samuel 28:3-19). 1 Chronicles 10:13 says: “So Saul died for his unfaithfulness which he had committed against the Lord, … and also because he consulted a medium for guidance.”

Finally, read the Bible for this very interesting "after death" story from a dead man's point-of-view.

Luke 16:19-31 New International Version (NIV) The Rich Man and Lazarus
19 “There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. 20 At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores 21 and longing to eat what fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.

22 “The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24 So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.’
25 “But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.’
27 “He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, 28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’
29 “Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.’
30 “‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’
31 “He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’”

This confirms that God does not approve of dead people coming back to speak to us. But it also shows that the reason God forbids such practices is simply this: God provides all the spiritual instruction we need in His word, the Bible! When people seek supernatural information from some other source, they show a lack of faith in God´s revealed word (2 Timothy 3:16.17).

Book of Revelations Summary

If you would like print these charts I would suggest you copy the charts one at a time (hold your left mouse button down and drag the pointer arrow from the top to bottom of the chart to HIGHLIGHT it, then hold down your bottom left Ctrl Key and the letter "C" key simultaneously to copy what you highlighted) and paste this to your word processor (if you delete the headers and make the chapter designations smaller you can probably get the chart on one page).

the abominations of the earth

 

 

HER RELATION TO SAINTS:

Drunk with the blood of the saints of the  witnesses of Jesus

 

mystery of the WOMAN &
The BEAST EXPLAINED

(1). BEAST 17:8



Was/ is not/about to come up out of the abyss ------->destruction.



Earth dwellers wonder (name not in book of life)

 

(2) 7 HEADS: 17:9-11

 7Heads = 7 mountains = 7 kings



The WOMAN (=) sits on these
 

5 fallen, 1 is, other has not yet come, & when he comes, he must remain a little while
 

Beast = 8th king = one of the 7 kings  

       =>destruction

10 Horns = 10 Kings

Not received a kingdom

Receive authority w. L ONE HOUR

ONE PURPOSE: Give power/authority>L

Lamb will overcome bc He is Lord of lords & King of kings

With Him: Called, Chosen, Faithful
 

(4) JUDGMENT of the WOMAN

10 Horns + L => will hate harlot

They will make HER desolate, naked, eat flesh, & burn her up w. fire

Because God has put it in their hearts to execute His purpose by having a common purpose
