The Significance of "7" Begins in Genesis 1:1

---

A seven-day week has always been the universal measurement of the shortest cycle of days and is another silent testimony to intelligent design, and more specifically, to the God of the Bible. His same calling card of 2520 has been left upon the pages of Holy Writ and in the works of His hands as seen in the cosmos and in the measurement of time.

Even though the seventh day appears to be strictly the final day in a linear progression, it is more accurately the core around which every other day revolves. The ancient Hebrews viewed the Sabbath as the hub of the 7-day week. The seventh day is at the center and is the focus of the other 6 days. What beautiful symmetry is portrayed when 6 circles of the exact size are placed around an inner circle of the same dimension. 

The number seven is the most prominent number throughout the entire Bible. The word seven appears most often in the two bookends of the Bible, Genesis and Revelation, each mentioning the number seven over fifty times. The reason for its frequency lies beyond its numerical value, 

The Sabbath (Shabbat in Hebrew) is the first sign of the covenant between the LORD and the nation of Israel. (Exodus 31:12-17)

The day, the month and the year are all references to the movement of different luminary bodies (also known as astronomical cycles), but the week does not initially seem to have its cycle linked with the movement of any luminary body. 

The week has its reference to the movement luminary body as well, but from our point of view its actually a terrestrial body that's moving, and it's under our feet. The daily rotation of the Earth is 360° and multiplied by 7 = 2520.  This same number is found in the measurements of the diameters of the Earth and Moon, and the distance between them.

Albert Einstein discovered there's a relation to space and time. Most of us probably don't understand that concept too well, but I hope after you read about the number 2520, you will understand a new facet of the relationship between space and time, and contemplate anew how wonderfully sovereign is the God of the Bible. The number 2520 is used by God to measure both dimensions.

Each day the Earth revolves 360 degrees and the ultimate number of God's perfection (2520) found elsewhere in spatial measurements throughout His Creation is also found in the measurement of time in a 7-day week. The total number of degrees of revolution in 7 days is 2520.  
A solar day is the time it takes for the Earth to rotate about its axis so that the Sun appears in the same position in the sky.  
A week is the time it takes for the earth to complete seven 360-degree revolutions.
Evolutionists tell us that the 'week' is nothing more than the product of archaic religious belief, whereas, the truth is that the measurement of the week (time) finds its parallel in rest of the physical universe (space).  

Even the well-known Encyclopedia Britannica inaccurately defines a week: 

“a period of seven days, a unit of time artificially devised with no astronomical basis.” 

A lunar month is the time between two identical new moons or full moons.  
​A solar year is the period of time required for the earth to make one complete revolution around the sun.  
Albert Einstein's theory of relativity demonstrated there is a relation between space and time.  
The relationship of the distance between and the diameters of the Earth and the Moon (which are also based upon the number 2520) demonstrate that the Week (7 x 360 = 2520) is as intrinsically related to the rest of Creation as space is with time.
