Things that come in sevens tend to represent the full promise of God through a particular medium, but a full promise is not the same as a fulfilled promise!<\/p>\n<p>Jesus is the &#8220;yes&#8221; and &#8220;amen&#8221; of every promise from God&#8230; in the New Testament we find Jesus more associated with the number &#8220;8&#8221; .. even his name enumerates to &#8220;888&#8221; in the Greek system of turning a name into a number&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Thats all I have time for today&#8230; but in the mini-book we explore in greater detail why seven is a full promise and why eight is a fulfilled promise.<\/p>\n<p>(Post transferred from previous site)<\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-follow synved-social-size-16 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox\" data-provider=\"facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Follow us on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/facebook.com\/jesuscentred\" style=\"font-size: 0px; width:16px;height:16px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;\"><img alt=\"Facebook\" title=\"Follow us on Facebook\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-follow\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" style=\"display: inline; width:16px;height:16px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border: none; box-shadow: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/jesuscentred.org\/e\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/32x32\/facebook.png\" \/><\/a><br\/><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-16 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox\" data-provider=\"facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fjesuscentred.org%2Fe%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F45&#038;t=Sevens%20and%20full%20promises%20waiting%20for%20fulfillment&#038;s=100&#038;p&#091;url&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fjesuscentred.org%2Fe%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F45&#038;p&#091;images&#093;&#091;0&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fjesuscentred.org%2Fe%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2013%2F11%2FMenorah-7-Candles1-e1440176977644.jpg&#038;p&#091;title&#093;=Sevens%20and%20full%20promises%20waiting%20for%20fulfillment\" style=\"font-size: 0px; width:16px;height:16px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px;\"><img alt=\"Facebook\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" style=\"display: inline; width:16px;height:16px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border: none; box-shadow: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/jesuscentred.org\/e\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/32x32\/facebook.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-16 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-mail nolightbox\" data-provider=\"mail\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share by email\" href=\"mailto:?subject=Sevens%20and%20full%20promises%20waiting%20for%20fulfillment&#038;body=You%20will%20find%20this%20very%20interesting:%20https%3A%2F%2Fjesuscentred.org%2Fe%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F45\" style=\"font-size: 0px; width:16px;height:16px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;\"><img alt=\"mail\" title=\"Share by email\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" style=\"display: inline; width:16px;height:16px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border: none; box-shadow: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/jesuscentred.org\/e\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/32x32\/mail.png\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was teaching the introduction to Jesus in the Old Testament last night and afterwards someone started to quiz me on why the number seven was important and how it related to Jesus.
