The 3-7-12 Principle (Part 2 of 4)

Home » "Religion" » The 3-7-12 Principle (Part 2 of 4)

Seinfeld‘s George Costanza was on to something in the episode where he had a burning desire to name his firstborn “Seven.”

Seven Costanza – has quite a ring to it.

In introducing the 3-7-12 Principle last time we took a biblical look at the number 3, and many of its’ possible implications. Generally, we view the number three from its’ basis in the Trinity, and the “completeness” that it signifies throughout scripture.

So to begin the idea of the 3-7-12 Principle, we first have the completeness of three.

Now – what of seven?

It’s another undeniable theme throughout both the Old and New Testaments and the meaning is clear. I submit to you that God does not inspire subliminal messages in His Word. Among the examples:

  • Seven days of Genesis.
  • Seven seals of Revelation.
  • Seven angels.
  • Seven plagues.
  • Seven colors in the rainbow.
  • Seven Feasts.
  • Seven loaves and fishes.
  • How many times shall we forgive? Seven? No. Seven times seventy.
  • Seven – is mentioned seven times in Genesis 7.
  • Seven notes in the musical scale.
  • Solomon build the temple over seven years.

This is not the stuff of vagueness. It’s clear that God is telling us something here.

In seven, we have perfect completion. A finished task without error.

Clearly, God shows us there is application in this idea. Not that there’s anything magical about it, but there is something quite holy about it.

In the next post, we’ll take a look at the final number in the 3-7-12 Principal – the number 12, and then we’ll try to tie all this together and see what it means as a whole.

May God bless you and keep you, and may His mighty countenance be upon you.
