Genesis 8:4(KJV)
And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
Throughout the Bible, God often gives symbolic significance to numbers. Number seven is one of the numbers that is most mentioned in the Bible(over 735 times) and it is a very significant number in the Bible often meaning completeness or divine perfection, wholeness or rest. When you search the Scriptures, you would find out that seven is very prevalence. In the seventh month, God always perform unusual miracles, stubborn situation are dealt with, covenants are fulfilled and new ones are enacted.
The first use of the number 7 in the Bible relates to the creation week in Genesis 1. God spends six days creating the Heavens and the earth, and then rests on the seventh day. In Genesis 8:4, after the water prevailed upon the earth for hundred and fifty days, God finally remembered Noah on the seventeenth day of the seventh month, which is today, and the ark rested upon the Mount Ararat. For the wall of Jericho to collapse, it took seven priests with seven trumpet ram’s horns to prevailed and walking around the wall for seven days and on the seventh day for seven times(Joshua 6). The Bible says in 2 Kings 5:10, Elisha asked general Naaman to go and wash in Jordan seven times, and his flesh will be restored and he will be cleansed. And when Naaman did, the miracle happened, and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean. Jesus performed seven miracles on God’s Holy Sabbath Day(which is also the seventh day). In the book of Revelation there are seven churches, seven angels to the seven churches, seven seals, seven trumpet plagues, seven thunders and the seven last plagues.
