Seven (7)
|
It is the number of Spiritual Perfection. The 7th day God rested from the work of Creation. It was full and complete, and good and perfect. Seven completes the spectrum and rainbow, and satisfies in music the notes of the scale. Seven miracles in John's Gospel. There were seven appearances of angels during the life of Jesus on earth. The clean beasts were taken into the Ark by sevens (Gen.7:2), the others were taken by twos (6:19). The mystery of God is completed in the seventh vial of the seventh trumpet of the seventh seal. Day of Atonement was in the seventh month (Lev.16:29). The Lord's Prayer contains seven petitions.

Eight (8)
|
It is the number of New Beginnings. That which is superabundant or satiating. It is 7+1, hence it is the number specifically associated with Resurrection and Regeneration, and the beginning of a new era or order. Noah and his family were eight in number. Christ rose from the dead on the eighth day (first day of the week). The Transfiguration took place on the eighth day. As 666 is the number of the
Anti-Christ, 888 is the number of Jesus. Circumcison which is connected with
the new creation of the heart was performed on the eighth day.

Nine (9)
|
It is the number of Finality or Judgment, being the last of the digits (0-9). It is significant with the end of man. It is a factor of 666 (9 x 74). There are 27 sieges of Jerusalem (3x9), so stamped with Divine completeness and the number of judgment. But nine is also the square of three (3x3) and three is Divine perfection, as well as the number peculiar to the Holy Spirit. So it denotes finality in Divine things as well... The Fruit of the Spirit, the Gifts of the Spirit and nine "Blessed be's" in Matthew 5:3-12. Multiply 9 times any number, add the sum of the number together, then add that sum together and continue and you will always come up with 9, i.e. ( 6 x 9 = 54; 5+4=9 ~~ 9 x 673 =6057; 6+0+5+7=18;8+1=9).
Try this with any number you want to and see for yourself (chuckles).

Ten (10)
|
It is the number of Ordinal Perfection. It implies that nothing is wanting; that the number and order are perfect; that the whole cycle is complete, thus completeness of order. The Ten Commandments contain all that is necessary. The tithes represent the whole of what was due from man to God. The ten plagues represented the complete circle of God's judgment on Egypt. Anti-Christ's world power is comprised in ten kingdoms. Abraham's faith was proved by a completed cycle of ten trials. Ten rebellions of Israel in the wilderness marked the completed series of Israel's perversities. The ten "I AM's" of Jesus in the Gospel of John.

disintegration. The eleven disciples after Judas, were in disorganization. The eleven son's of Jacob after Joseph was taken into captivity. Eleven day journey for children of Israel from Horeb to Kadesh Barnea but they took 40 years.

Twelve (12)
|
It is the number signifying Perfection of Government or Governmental Perfection. It is found as a multiple in all that has to do with rule. Twelve sons of Israel, twelve apostles, twelve foundations in the Heavenly Jerusalem, the twelve gates, the twelve pearls and the twelve angels. The number of the sealed in Revelation 7:4 will be 144,000...12,000 from each tribe of Israel. Twelve years of age was Jesus when He appeared in public and uttered His first recorded words.Twelve legions of angels mark the perfection of angelic powers (Mt.26:53).
