God's day to you, biblicalman, "The numbers 7 and 70 were ALMOST universally seen as indicating divine perfection at the time" ... is my reason not to assign numbers, because there are excpetions. Remember, creation was completed in six days (Exo 20:11, et. al.). All I need is one verse to prove the exception. I do not twist Scripture to fit what I want. I could make numbers, names ... show a code. For me they are just numbers, names ... Searcher |

LOL We don't know whether there were exceptions or not, as we don't have histories of all the peoples in the world. How can that affect anything? But it was true throughout the Middle East (the Ancient Near East). Everyone in Palestine, Sumer, Babylon and Assyria saw 7 and its multiples (e.g. seventy sevens) as indicating divine perfection, and thats good enough for me. No, creation was finished in SEVEN days, six was the number of MAN (just as 666 is the number of the Man of Sin) and man was created on the sixth 'day'. But creation was completed when God blessed the seventh day. Apart from you everyone speaks of seven day creation. However, it doesn't really matter what you think or decide to do. What matters is that I have provided the information requested, and everyone can judge for themselves. Best wishes |
