In the Bible, the number seven speaks of redemption, completion, and perfection.
Below are some revelations of God’s glorious plan for humanity, confirmed with the symbolism of the number seven:
God restored the heavens and the earth in seven days – Genesis 1-2
Seven covenants: Adamic, Noahic, Abrahamic, Mosaic, Davidic, New, Everlasting
Seven feasts: Passover; Unleavened Bread; Firstfruits; Pentecost (Weeks); Trumpets; Atonement; Tabernacles – Leviticus 23
The seven stations of the tabernacle, representing seven revelations of Jesus Christ:
Altar of sacrifice – the lamb of God
Laver – The living water
Table of showbread – the bread of life
Gold candlestick – the light of the world
Altar of incense – the intercessor
Mercy seat – the merciful Savior
Ark of the covenant – the glory of the Lord
The priest sprinkled the leper with blood seven times – Leviticus 14
The seven manifestations of the Holy Spirit
Within the seven manifestations, Isaiah 11 reveals sevenfold revelations of the Holy Spirit
He is the Spirit of:
Grace – Hebrews 10:29
Life – Genesis 1:2
Adoption – Romans 8:15
Holiness – Romans 1:4
Supplication – Zechariah 12:10
Truth – John 16:13

There are seven Spirits within these, as found in Isaiah 11:2:
“The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him,
The Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
The Spirit of counsel and might,
The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord.”
The Spirit of:
