THE MYSTERY OF 7

By Rudolph de Cordova

ROM the earliest times

the number seven has always had a mystical significance.

Many evidences of it are found in the Bible both in the Old and New Testaments. The earll- est reference occurs in the second verse of the second chapter of Genesis when God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it. because on it He rested from all His work.

Moreover, every seventh year was made by the Jewa a Sub. batical year, when the ground was not tilled; every seven times seven years was the year of Jubilee, when all debts were forgotten, slaves set at liberty. al estates previously sold or mortgaged returned to the original owner; while the three great feasts, Passover, Pente- cost or the Feast of Weeks and the Feast of Tabernacles, `ench lasted seven days and a period of seven weeks elapsed between the Passover and Pentecost.
