Make a list of the "sevens" you can find in the Bible. E - 501 - 2 - 7

“The Heptadic Structure

The recurrence of the number seven - or an exact multiple of seven - is found throughout the Bible and is widely recognized. The Sabbath on the seventh day; the seven years of plenty and the seven years of famine in Egypt; the seven priests and seven trumpets marching around Jericho; the Sabbath Year of the land are well-known examples.”

From Genesis through Revelation the number seven is often found.  

Seven days cited a number of times concerning the Flood:
Genesis 7:4, 10; 8:10,12

Seven lambs:
Genesis 21:28, 29, 30

Jacob serve seven years plus seven years for Rachel. His father-in-law pursued him and his family for seven days.

Pharaoh's dream of seven fat and seven lean kine in Genesis Chapter 41 as well as seven ears of good corn and seven ears of thin corn.

Several occurrences of seven days and leaven/ unleavened bread in the Book of Exodus.

Many occurrences of seven in the Book of Leviticus dealing with days, as a multiple and Sabbaths.

Fast forward to the Book of Revelation:

Before the Rapture of the Church:
Seven letters
Seven Churches
Seven Spirits of God
Seven golden candlesticks
Seven stars
Seven angels
After Jesus comes for the Church:
Seven sealed scroll – Seven seals
Seven trumpet judgments
Seven bowls of wrath
Red Dragon has:
Seven eyes
Seven horns
Seven heads
Seven crowns
Seven kings
Ten horns but three are pulled out
Seven hills/ mountains on while the woman sits
Seven plagues
Seven thunders
Seven thousand killed in the earthquake
Week of days – seven years
Great Tribulation or the time of Jacob’s Trouble is half of the Seventieth Week of Daniel, 1,260 days or 180 weeks.
