It is a number that is mentioned many times in The Bible.
The number seven had its roots in ancient Jewish history. Solomon knew of the Jewish view on the number seven, so he took seven years to build the temple in Jerusalem.
The Torah mentions that the Sabbatical , or holy year, occurred every seven years. Even the Israelites were told to march around the walls of Jericho seven times, and their enemies would be defeated.
This view of the number seven continued in the New Testament. A disciple asked Jesus, " How many times should we forgive our brethren? " Jesus replied, " 70 times 7". Even in the last book of the Bible, the number seven is mentioned on more than one occasion. Revelations 1:16 states," He had in his right hand seven stars." Also in Revelations, the number of seals is seven.
But beyond the Bible, we find the number seven in other religions and societies. The ancient Greeks considered the number seven to be lucky. They believed it to be the perfect number. The Arabs carried on this belief and built seven holy temples.The Goths made sure they worshiped the seven deities.The Japanese also had seven gods. Even the Scottish Masons made sure the number seven had relevance in their rites, and their aprons were made with seven tassels on them.
Other (maybe coincidental) things are:
There are seven articles to the US Constitution.
And the city of Washington D.C. is built on the 77th longitude.
In other words, there is no real proof dat the number 7 is a "lucky" number. One thing we know for sure is the fact that it appears a lot in religions and history.
