    Q&A "Seven days"

    Q: The multiples of seven throughout the Narrative sets the Father Son relationship. It must be based on the covenant. Can you elaborate on this?

    A: Yes. It is seven days which are determined by the Law of the Spirit. He is the Word, the sound as well as the sign. "For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell."(Col.1:19). So 7 is made up of 4+3. This shall be seen in covenant where first four days refer to heaven while the last three days are imposed on the man component in the Son. He has a volume as well as a steward his creation is under his charge. He has to enter into the rest assured on the day Seven. Jesus Christ in the inaugural vision of John is seen holding seven stars. He is there as the Law figuratively presented which refers to 7x1000 that God has reserved for himself. It is to which God reveals to the dis-spirited Elijah. It is similar to 12x12x1000 that are seen standing on mount Sion. Both Father and the Son are co-signatories so to speak.

    "And they came to Elim, where were twelve wells of water, and threescore and ten palm trees:"(Ex.15:27)We find seventy palm trees and twelve wells at Elim and the Spirit reports that God proved them there. God was present there as well as the Word. The Israelites camped by the waters. In rejecting the call of Jesus Christ they rejected the living waters. ( John 7:37-38)."And the Lord said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel." Anointing the elders was a forerunner for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit which refers to the truth,"My Father worketh hitherto and I work.""Receive ye the Holy Ghost."(John20:22) Jesus appointed seventy other disciples.( Luke 10:1)

    In the Book of the Revelation,"And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven."(11:13) The tenth part of the city refers to Decalogue.
