What about the 7-day creation story?
Why is it that there are so many 7's in the bible?
If you have a bible software, search out the number 7 and see just how many times it is found in the bible. I have my thoughts on them but would like to hears yours. Peace>>>AJ

7 is god because 3 is earth and 4 is heaven and 4 + 3 = 7, and 6 is the devil because couldn't get to be 7, or some other odd equations; read about it long ago and can't remember very well, but is numerology.

I don't think that it has anything to do with nuerology. For whatever reason, some numbers have special significance in the cultures that produced the Bible: 7 and 40 are the most important, and also 3.
There is no rational explanation for it.

The universe is built on mathematical principles. One, three, five, seven, nine, and eleven are prime numbers.
One is God. Three is the Trinity. Seven is the universe. Eleven is the dimensions.

The 700 Club... heh.
"Seven & Twelve... Where do all these numbers come from and what do they mean?!?!"
You aren't going to like the answer. It's astrology. There are seven planets, and twelve zodiac signs. In the times that the Bible were written, astrology was accepted as a science. I know it isn't accepted by modern Christians and is widely thought of as being superstition, but there is no changing the facts that these numbers are the heritage of astrology. You only need to look at a calender to see that it's true. As far as concerning the answer to the universe and everything, 42? The Jewish mystical tradition has it that God's true name is 42 letters long. And the prevalence of the number 40? No idea - but I wouldn't be surprised if Qabalah made some reference to the number.
