Prior to biblical tradition, the Pagans divided their weeks in seven days each day representing a deity. Saturday which was the first day of the week (as it still is in Islamic countries) was dedicated to Saturn, Sunday to the Sun, Monday to the Moon, Tuesday to Mars, Wednesday to Mercury, Thursday to Jupiter, and Friday to Venus. 14 centuries ago, when the sky was believed to be one unified body, it was believed that it consisted of layers, "seven" layers. Modern science, on the other hand, discovered the fact that the atmosphere surrounding the Earth is made up of "seven" basic layers only very recently.
There are Seven Seas: Arctic, Antarctic, North and South Atlantic,North and the South Pacific and the Indian Ocean.
There are 7 Days of the Week, 7 Deadly Sins, 7 Continents, 7 Chakras, 7 Body Orifices, 7 Colors in a rainbow, 7 notes in a music scale, 7 major metals, 7 phases of the moon,7 natural divisions of the brain, 7 functions of the nervous system, 7 compartments of the heart, 7 major body organs, 7 year itch, 7th inning stretch, 7th heaven, 7 virtues and 7 layers. The ruling part, the head, has seven parts for external use, two eyes, two ears, two nostrils and a mouth. The hand makes seven motions; up and down, to the right and left, before and behind, and circular.
The Heptad (7), says the followers of "Pythagoras," was so called from the Greek verb "sebo," to venerate (and from the Hebrew ShBO, seven, or satisfied, abundance), being Septos, "Holy," "divine," and "motherless," and a "Virgin."
The Pleiades, a group of seven stars in the constellation Taurus, was thought of mighty power over earthly destiny; there were seven also of the Hyades, daughters of Atlas; and the seven stars which guided the sailors. Ursa Major, in which the Hindoos locate the Sapta Rishi, seven sages of primitive wisdom, are a group of the first importance and are easily recognized.
There are Seven Wonders of the World. The Moon passes through stages of 7 days in increase, full, decrease, and renewal.
The 7 Catholic Deadly Sins are Pride, covetousness, lust, anger, gluttony, envy and sloth. The 7 Gifts of the Holy Spirit, Isaiah xi. v. 2, are Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel, Fortitude, Knowledge, Piety and Fear of the Lord.
The historic city of Rome, pagan before it was Christian, was built upon Seven Hills; the Palatine, Cœlian, Aventine, Viminal, Quirinal, Esquiline, and the Capitol. In Latin times it was called Urbs Septicollis. Some old authors speak of "Valentia" as a secret name for Rome. Even Washington, DC has it's 7 hills.
In the Christian world, the number 777 — which equates to the Holy Trinity — is often chosen to represent God. When asked by Peter how many times we need to forgive others, Jesus replied, “I say to you, not seven times but seventy-seven times” (Matthew 18:22). The Seven Last Words attributed to Christ on the cross are, “My God, why hast thou forsaken me?” A menorah contains 7 candle holders. Islam teaches the existence of seven heavens and seven earths. The Qur’an says the sky is composed of seven layers. Muslims believe that anyone in Seventh Heaven is in a state of celestial bliss.
Corporations find the numeral 7 seductive. Popular brands include 7-Eleven, 7-Up, Seagram’s 7-Crown, Jack Daniel’s No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey, Seventh Generation, 7x7 magazine, Michael-David Vineyard’s 7 Zins and also 7 Heavenly Chards wines, No 7 cosmetics, Boeing 777, Lotus Seven, Caterham 7, Lincoln Mark VII, Mazda RX-7 and CX-7, Audi Q7.
The number seven is known to be the number of creation, representing the live relationship between the human and the Divine. There are seven colours to the rainbow.
In the ancient teachings of creation there were the seven emanations are seen by tradition as the Seven Rays of Creation. These seven luminous vibrations correspond also to the seven sound vibration tones that originated the Creation.
There are 7 chakras in the human form. Our physical Chakras, referred to as “vortexes of power”, are the vehicles of manifestation of the pure cosmic energy; and, in its turn, designating seven different levels of manifestation of consciousness.
