The menorah is described in the Bible as the seven-lamp (six branches) ancient Hebrew made of pure gold and used in the portable sanctuary set up by Moses in the wilderness and later in the Temple in Jerusalem. Fresh olive oil of the purest quality was burned daily to light its lamps. The menorah has been a symbol of Judaism since ancient times and is the emblem on the coat of arms of the modern state of Israel. The Hebrew Bible, or Torah, states that God revealed the design for the menorah to Moses and describes the construction of the menorah as follows:
Exodus 37 17 18 Making the Gold Lampstand He also made the rain of pure gold; of hammered work he made the lampstand. Its shaft, its branches, its bowls, its ornamental k***s, and its flowers were of the same piece. And six branches came out of its sides: three branches of the lampstand out of one side, and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side.
Exodus 37 19 20 There were three bowls made like almond blossoms on one branch, with an ornamental k**b and a flower, and three bowls made like almond blossoms on the other branch, with an ornamental k**b and a flower—and so for the six branches coming out of the lampstand. And on the lampstand itself were four bowls made like almond blossoms, each with its ornamental k**b and flower.
Exodus 37 21 23 There was a k**b under the first two branches of the same, a k**b under the second two branches of the same, and a k**b under the third two branches of the same, according to the six branches extending from it. Their k***s and their branches were of one piece; all of it was one hammered piece of pure gold. And he made its seven lamps, its wick-trimmers, and its trays of pure gold.
Exodus 25 31 40 The Gold Lampstand “You shall also make a lampstand of pure gold; the lampstand shall be of hammered work. Its shaft, its branches, its bowls, its ornamental k***s, and flowers shall be of one piece. And six branches shall come out of its sides: three branches of the lampstand out of one side, and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side. Three bowls shall be made like almond blossoms on one branch, with an ornamental k**b and a flower, and three bowls made like almond blossoms on the other branch, with an ornamental k**b and a flower—and so for the six branches that come out of the lampstand.
On the lampstand itself four bowls shall be made like almond blossoms, each with its ornamental k**b and flower. And there shall be a k**b under the first two branches of the same, a k**b under the second two branches of the same, and a k**b under the third two branches of the same, according to the six branches that extend from the lampstand. Their k***s and their branches shall be of one piece; all of it shall be one hammered piece of pure gold. You shall make seven lamps for it, and they shall arrange its lamps so that they give light in front of it. And its wick-trimmers and their trays shall be of pure gold. It shall be made of a talent of pure gold, with all these utensils. And see to it that you make them according to the pattern which was shown you on the mountain.

There is a great prophetic meaning behind the Menorah
In all of Judaism it symbolizes the tree of life.
Also Judaism believe the Menorah symbolizes the burning bush. More then likely the burning bush was an Acacia tree.
Acacia Wood' (Incorruptible humanity) also called Sh*ttim Wood. The wild acacia (Mimosa nilotica), under the name of sunt, everywhere represents the seneh, or senna, of the burning bush. A slightly different form of the tree, equally common under the name of seyal, is the ancient sh*ttah, or, as more usually expressed in the plural form, the sh*ttim, of which the Tabernacle was made.
God spoke to Moses from a burning bush. More then likely a small Acacia tree. The same wood to make the ark of the covenant, and the Tabernacle. God spoke to Moses from the same tree used to make the ark of the covenant.
Exodus 38 1 They built the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood, three cubits high; it was square, five cubits long and five cubits wide.
Exodus 37 1 Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood--two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high. ... Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood.
Exodus 26 15 "Make upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle. ... You are to make upright planks of acacia wood for the tabernacle.”
Exodus 36 20 They made upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle. He made upright planks of acacia wood for the tabernacle.
Exodus 26 26 You are to make five crossbars of acacia wood for the planks on one side of the tabernacle.
Exodus 36 31 He made five crossbars of acacia wood for the planks on one side of the tabernacle.
The Sh*ttim tree grew in the deserts of Sinai, and the deserts around the Dead Sea. The wood is hard, very heavy, indestructible by insects, and has a fine, beautiful grain. It was remarkably luxuriant (of vegetation) rich and profuse in growth; lush: forests of dark, luxuriant foliage) in dry places, sometimes attaining a height of twenty feet. It had lovely yellow flowers and its insect-resisting. Acacia wood was used in making mummy cases. This Acacia wood undoubtedly speaks of the incorruptible humanity of Christ, for we are told that Jesus humanity would never see corruption.
Psalm 16 10 For You will not leave my soul in Sheol, nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.
The menorah has 7 branches and 7 lights on top. The number 7 is a biblical number. 7 is the number of completion and perfection. God is communicating the idea of divine completeness, perfection, and wholeness by means of the number 7.
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. This is our template for the seven-day week, observed around the world to this day. The seventh day was to be “set apart” for Israel; the Sabbath was a holy day of rest (Deuteronomy 5 12).
Thus, right at the start of the Bible, the number 7 is identified with something being “finished” or “complete.” From then on, that association continues, as 7 is often found in contexts involving completeness or divine perfection. So we see the command for animals to be at least seven days old before being used for sacrifice (Exodus 22 30), the command for leprous Naaman to bathe in the Jordan River seven times to effect complete cleansing (2 Kings 5 10), and the command for Joshua to march around Jericho for seven days (and on the seventh day to make seven circuits) and for seven priests blow seven trumpets outside the city walls (Joshua 6 3 4).
In these instances, 7 signifies a completion of some kind: a divine mandate is fulfilled.
Interestingly, man was created on the sixth day of creation. In some passages of the Bible, the number 6 is associated with mankind. In Revelation “the number of the beast” is called “the number of a man. That number is 666” (Revelation 13 18). If God’s number is 7, then man’s is 6. Six always falls short of seven, just like “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3 23).
Series of seven things crop up often in the Bible. For example, we find seven pairs of each clean animal on the ark (Genesis 7 2); seven stems on the tabernacle’s lampstand (Exodus 25 37); seven qualities of the Messiah in Isaiah 11 2; seven signs in John’s Gospel; seven things the Lord hates in Proverbs 6 16; seven parables in Matthew 13; and seven woes in Matthew 23.
Multiples of 7 also figure into the biblical narrative: the “seventy weeks” prophecy in Daniel 9 24 concerns 490 years (7 times 7 times 10). Jeremiah 29 10 predicted the Babylonian Captivity would last for seventy years (7 times 10). According to Leviticus 25 8, the Year of Jubilee was to begin after the passing of every forty-ninth year (7 times 7).
Sometimes, the symbolism of 7 is a great comfort to us: Jesus is the seven-fold “I AM” in the Gospel of John. Other times, it challenges us: Jesus told Peter to forgive a wrongdoer “seventy times seven” times (Matthew 18 22). And then there are passages in which the number 7 is associated with God’s judgment: the seven bowls of the Great Tribulation, for example (Revelation 16 1), or God’s warning to Israel in Leviticus 26 18.
Speaking of the book of Revelation, the number 7 is used there more than fifty times in a variety of contexts: there are seven letters to seven churches in Asia and seven spirits before God’s throne (Revelation 1 4), seven golden lampstands (Revelation 1 12), seven stars in Christ’s right hand (Revelation 1 16), seven seals of God’s judgment (Revelation 5 1), seven angels with seven trumpets (Revelation 8 2), etc. In all likelihood, the number 7 again represents completeness or totality: the seven churches represent the completeness of the body of Christ, the seven seals on the scroll represent the fulness of God’s punishment of the devil, antichrist, and the false prophet. And, of course, the book of Revelation itself, with all its 7’s, is the capstone of God’s Word to man. With the book of Revelation, the Word was complete (Revelation 22 18).
There are 7 Catching Aways or 7 Raptures
The word rapture is not in the English translation of the Bible. When a person uses the word rapture there is a historical meaning to describe 1 Thessalonians 4 16 17. Anytime you translate a language you have to use a word that is parallel to the same meaning. The Latin word caught up in the English language means rapture.
Enoch is the first. Elijah is the second and Jesus is the third to be rapture (caught up) and the forth will be the church the body of Christ (the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord).
What are the seven catching aways?
Enoch In Genesis chapter 5 before the flood:
Genesis 5 24 And in reverent fear and obedience Enoch walked with God; and he was not found among men, because God took him away to be home with Him.
Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven
2 Kings 2 11 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
Jesus ascended to heaven from the mount of olives Acts chapter 1:
Acts 1 2 until the day when He ascended to heaven, after He had by the Holy Spirit given instruction to the apostles special messengers whom He had chosen.
1 Corinthians 15 20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep.
The church the body of Christ:
Revelation 4 1 2 After this I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven! And the first voice which I had heard, like the sound of a war trumpet speaking with me, said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after these things.” At once I was in special communication with the Spirit; and behold, a throne stood in heaven, with One seated on the throne.
1 Thessalonians 4 13 18 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.
Hebrews 9 24 28 For Christ did not enter a holy place made with hands, a mere copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us; nor was it that He would offer Himself often, as the high priest enters the holy place year by year with blood that is not his own. Otherwise, He would have needed to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now once at the consummation of the ages He has been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment, so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him.
The harvest of the 144000 Jews.
Revelation 7:9 After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could count, from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palm branches were in their hands;
The 144000 Jews finish their earthly assignment:
Revelation 7 13 14 Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “These who are clothed in the white robes, who are they, and where have they come from?” I said to him, “My lord, you know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
Last day of the tribulation the two witnesses
The Witnesses Resurrected Revelation 11 11 14 Now after the three-and-a-half days the breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them. And they[e] heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” And they ascended to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies saw them. In the same hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. In the earthquake seven thousand people were killed, and the rest were afraid and gave glory to the God of heaven. The second woe is past. Behold, the third woe is coming quickly.
The Hebrew spelling for Israel in english is YISRAEL
There are 7 letters in the word YISRAEL. There are 7 branches on the Menorah. The 7 branch Menorah is connected to the whole nation of Israel. That Menorah was for all Twelve Tribes of Israel. The Coat of Arms of Israel shows a menorah surrounded by an olive branch on each side and the writing (Israel) based on its depiction on the Arch of Titus.

Jerusalem has nine letters connected to it. Those nine letters can represent the nine branches of the Hanukkah Menorah.
The Hanukkah menorah, also chanukiah or hanukkiah is a nine-branched candelabrum lit during the eight-day holiday of Hanukkah, as opposed to the seven-branched menorah used in the ancient Temple or as a symbol.
Hanukkah Menorah was not just about Israel. It was about the whole temple in Jerusalem. How it was re-cleansed; and how the oil effected the Menorah that was in the temple.

The 9 Gifts of the Holy Spirit
1. The Word of Knowledge 2. The Word of Wisdom 3. The Gift of Prophecy 4. The Gift of Faith 5. The Gifts of Healings 6. The Working of Miracles 7. The Discerning of Spirits 8. Different Kinds of Tongues 9. The Interpretation of Tongues
1 Corinthians 12 7 11 Spiritual Gifts: Unity in Diversity But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.
The 9 Fruits of the Holy Spirit
1 . Love 2 . Joy 3. Peace 4. Longsuffering 5. Kindness 6. Goodness 7. Faithfulness 8. Gentleness 9. Self-control
Galatians 5 22 23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
Chanukkah (or Hanukkah) is the Jewish Festival/Feast of Dedication, also known as the "Festival of Lights.” It is an eight-day festival beginning on the 25th day of the Jewish month of Kislev, which typically falls in November or December on our calendar. Although this Jewish festival in not mentioned in the Tanakh (the Hebrew Bible), it is referenced in the Talmud: “On the 25th of Kislev are the days of Chanukkah, which are eight... these were appointed a Festival with Hallel [prayers of praise] and thanksgiving” (Babylonian Talmud Shabbat 21b (The holiday of Hanukah, celebrating the Jewish victory over the Seleucids and the rededication of the Temple in 164 B.C.E), Babylonian Talmud). Chanukkah is probably one of the best-known Jewish holidays, not because of any great religious significance, but because of its proximity to Christmas. Many non-Jews think of this holiday as the Jewish Christmas, adopting many of the Christmas customs, such as elaborate gift-giving and decoration. Because of this, it is ironic that this holiday, which has its roots in a revolution against assimilation and the suppression of Jewish religion and people, has become the most assimilated, secular holiday on the Jewish calendar. The holiday of Chanukkah celebrates the events which took place over 2,300 years ago in the land of Judea, which is now Israel. It begins in the reign of Alexander the Great, who conquered Syria, Egypt, and Israel, but allowed the lands under his control to continue observing their own religions and retain a certain degree of autonomy. Under this relatively benevolent rule, many Jews assimilated much of Hellenistic culture, adopting the language, the customs, and the dress of the Greeks, in much the same way that Jews in America today blend into the secular American society. More than 100 years after Alexander, Antiochus IV rose to power in the region. He began to oppress the Jews severely, placing a Hellenistic priest in the Temple, massacring Jews, prohibiting the practice of the Jewish religion, and desecrating the Temple by requiring the sacrifice of pigs (a non-kosher animal) on the altar. One of the groups which opposed Antiochus was led by Mattathias (Matitiyahu) the Hasmonean and his son Judah Maccabee (“The Hammer”). This small band of pious Jews led guerrilla warfare against the Syrian army. Antiochus sent thousands of well-armed troops to crush the rebellion, but the Maccabees succeeded in driving the foreigners from their land. According to historical accounts, Jewish fighters entered Jerusalem in December 164 BC. The Holy Temple, the Jewish religious center, was in shambles, defiled and desecrated by foreign soldiers. The Maccabees cleansed the Temple and re-dedicated it on the 25th day of the Jewish month of Kislev. When it came time to re-light the Menorah (the multi-branched lampstand), they searched the entire Temple, but only one small jar of oil bearing the pure seal of the High Priest could be found. Miraculously, the small jar of oil burned for eight days, until a new supply of oil could be brought. From then on, Jews everywhere have observed a holiday for eight days in honor of this historic victory and the miracle of the oil. The observance of Chanukah features the lighting of a special Chanukkah menorah with eight branches (plus a helper candle), adding one new candle each night. In the Brit Chadasha (The New Covenant), in the Gospel of John, we learn that Jesus the Jewish Messiah was at the Holy Temple during the “feast of dedication” or Chanukkah: “At that time the Feast of the Dedication took place at Jerusalem; it was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple in the portico of Solomon” (John 10 22 23). During this great season of remembering miracles, Jesus pointed out to His listeners that the miracles He had done authenticated His claim that He was, indeed, the long-awaited Jewish Messiah (see John 10 37 38). His works and His true character clearly demonstrated who He was. Jesus said, “I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life” (John 8 12). The Lord Jesus gives all of us, Jew and Gentile, the “light of life.” And He commanded us to “Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven” (Matthew 5 16).
How the number 7 fits into the menorah.
Genesis 1 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Hebrew words parallel to Genesis 1:1.

If this was on the menorah. The Beresh*t (in the beginning) would began on the left side of the menorah light and go all the way across to the seventh light Haeretz (the earth). But it is the fourth light on the menorah. That would be the Alef-Tav. Why is that important? Because if you look at this middle branch. It is number four coming from the left side and number four coming from right side. It is four in both directions. But it is the fourth letter in the creation statement. Why is that important? Because the Alef-Tav is all through the old testament but never translated. When you come across it in the Hebrew scroll Alef-Tav is placed there to make reference to the coming statements. How ever Jews and Messianic Jews have really noticed this. If you take it from the menorah.
It would say, “In the beginning God created the Alpha and Omega.” “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.(John 1 1)” Jesus said, “I am the Alpha and Omega.” If Jesus was to say this in Hebrew. He would say, “I am the Aleph and the Tav (the beginning and the end).” So in the very first statement of Genesis 1:1 it represents the menorah. You have in the first statement. In the beginning God created Alef and the Tav. In the beginning God created the word; and there was nothing but the word in the beginning. The word is Jesus. Who is the Alef and the Tav in Hebrew. It is the fourth branch of the menorah. The fourth branch is called in Hebrew the servant branch. None of the other branches are called that. It is the central shaft. That holds everything else up.
The bible says, “Jesus upholding all things by the word of His power (Hebrews 1 3).”
Look at number 4 Alef-Tav no translation. Aleph, Tav (Reading right to left) The first and last letters of the Hebrew Alphabet Pronounced: Et (No translation).
Aleph, Men, Tav (Reading right to left) the first, middle, and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet. Pronounced: Emet Translation: Truth John 8 32 “you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
A good reference Bible gives the Hebrew Alphabet in Psalms 119. Under each letter there are eight versus. Each first begins with the letter that heads that group of eight. Children learned to read from this. Also, there are several Psalms which are in order of the Alphabet. They are considered fundamental. Aleph is the first letter - Bet the second. Therefore this is the Hebrew Alphabet.
Greeks later called their first letter Alpha and the second Bet. So Greek and English have an Alphabet.
The Aleph and the Tav - the first and the last letters of the Hebrew also spell a word. This important word is in the Hebrew of Genesis 1 1, but is not translated into any of our English translations. It is Untranslatable.
Spelled (Aleph Tav.) Hebrew is read from right to left. Pronounced ET. It marks someone, or something, as unique, notable. We might attempt to see it as “from A to Z.” Everything. All there is.
It is in the original of Genesis 1:1, but left out in translation, as follows: Genesis 1 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Here is Genesis 1 1 in the original Hebrew text:

So that tells us a little bit about the Aleph and Tav and the number seven. So lets look at the days of creation.
Genesis 1 1 3 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
Lets stop right there! The sun and moon where created on the fourth day. The bible says, “And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.” How can there be light on the first, second, and third days? When the sun is the light for the entire creation.
God was the light!
Now not only does John 1 1 say, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” But if you keep on reading John 1 4 says, “In him was life; and the life was the light of men.” Now John is going to refer you back to Genesis 1 3 “And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.” John 1 5 “And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.” That’s Genesis 1 3!

Now in creation a day is as 1000 years (2 Peter 3 8). Each branch of the menorah represents 1000 years:
First day 1000 years, first light of menorah: The number 1 also represents the unity between God the Father and His Son Jesus (John 10 30). Genesis 1 3 5 “And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And the evening and the morning were the first day.”
Second day 2000 years, second light of menorah: The number 2 conveys the meaning of a union, division or the verification of facts by witnesses. Genesis 1 6 8 “And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.”
Third day 3000 years, third light of menorah: The number 3 is used 467 times in the Bible. It pictures completeness, though to a lesser degree than 7. The meaning of this number derives from the fact that it is the first of four spiritually perfect numerals (the others being 7, 10 and 12). The 3 righteous patriarchs before the flood were Abel, Enoch and Noah. After the deluge there was the righteous "fathers" Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (later renamed Israel). Genesis 1 9 13 “Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear. God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas. God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth. And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind. And the evening and the morning were the third day.”
Fourth day 4000 years, fourth light of menorah: The number 4 derives its meaning from creation. On the fourth day of what is called 'creation week' God completed the material universe. On this day he brought into existence our sun, the moon, and all the stars (Genesis 1 14 19). “And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.”
Fifth day 5000 years, fifth light of menorah: Five is the number of grace, and multiplied by itself, which is 25, is 'grace upon grace' (John 1 16). Genesis 1 20 23 “God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind. God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
The Sixth day 6000 years, the sixth light of menorah: In the Bible, the number 6 symbolizes man and human weakness, the evils of Satan and the manifestation of sin. Man was created on the sixth day. Men are appointed 6 days to labor. Genesis 1 24 31 “God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind. God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.”
Seventh day 7000 years, seventh light of menorah: Seven is the number of completeness and perfection (both physical and spiritual). It derives much of its meaning from being tied directly to God's creation of all things. Genesis 2 1 3 “Heavens and the earth were finished, on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.”
The full Meaning of The Number 1 The number 1 is only divisible by itself. It is independent of any other numerals yet composes them all. It symbolizes in the Bible the unity and primacy, and the oneness of the Godhead. What is known as the Shema (or Shema Yisrael), a quote of verse four in Deuteronomy 6 4 that is often used in Jewish prayer services, attests to this fact. The number 1 also represents the unity between God the Father and His Son Jesus (John 10 30). Jesus, by his singular sacrifice, has made possible the forgiveness of ALL our sins. He is the one Mediator and Shepherd (1Timothy 2 5; John 10 16) in the life of a Christian. The Old and New Testaments have an incredible unity between them. More than 1/3rd of the New Testament is composed of Old Testament quotes. Many writings from the prophets and Psalms could not be understood without the Gospels and the rest of the New Testament. Prophecies is places like Isaiah 53 would not be correctly understood as referring to the Messiah if the Gospels did not exist. Such examples are a testament to the unified nature of the Scriptures and offer proof of its direct inspiration by God. Appearances of the number one Of the ten shortest books 2John, 3John, Philemon, Jude and Obadiah are the shortest with only one chapter. Words that show up only once in the King James Version translation of Scripture include Reverend (Psalms 111 9), Grandmother (2Timothy 1 5) and Eternity (Isaiah 57 15). Other words such as Forgetfulness (Psalm 88 12) and Lukewarm (Revelation 3 16) also appear only once.
The full Meaning of The Number 2 The number 2 conveys the meaning of a union, division or the verification of facts by witnesses. A man and woman, though two in number, are made one in marriage (Genesis 2 23 24). There is also the union between Christ and the church (see 1 Corinthians 12). The testimony of God is divided into Old and New Testaments. His agreements with mankind are divided into Old and New Covenants. And, though two in number, God the Father and God the Son (Jesus Christ) compose a single Godhead. The first man, Adam, sinned and brought death and destruction into the world. Jesus, however, as the second (or last) Adam brings the hope of the resurrection and eternal life (1 Corinthians 15 21 22, 45 49). Those who ultimately refuse to repent and obey God will be put to death FOREVER by being thrown into the lake of fire, which is called the SECOND death (Revelation 21 8). This act will eternally divide those who are righteous from those who practiced evil. At the minimum, the testimony of at least 2 people were needed in the Old Testament to convict someone of a crime or sin. The validity of this teaching was confirmed by the Apostle Paul (1 Timothy 5 19, Titus 3 10). In the End Time, two witnesses will appear on the world scene to testify and uphold the truth of God against the Beast and the False Prophet (see Revelation 11). Jesus sent the disciples out in pairs so that they could not only testify about his teachings and miracles, but also be witnesses of those who accepted or rejected the gospel (Mark 6 7 13). Two can also convey comparison and contrast. The Old Covenant was based on physical blessings for obedience while the New is based on those that are spiritual. In the Old Testament physical circumcision was required in order to be considered part of God's people, while the New requires circumcision of the heart. God formerly required obedience only to the "letter" of his laws but now calls upon man to obey their spiritual intent as well.
The full Meaning of The Number 3 The number 3 is used 467 times in the Bible. It pictures completeness, though to a lesser degree than 7. The meaning of this number derives from the fact that it is the first of four spiritually perfect numerals (the others being 7, 10 and 12). The 3 righteous patriarchs before the flood were Abel, Enoch and Noah. After the deluge there was the righteous "fathers" Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (later renamed Israel). There are 27 books in the New Testament, which is 3 times 3 times 3, or completeness to the third power. Jesus prayed three times in the Garden of Gethsemane before His arrest. He was placed on the cross at the 3rd hour of the day (9 a.m.) and died at the 9th hour (3 p.m.). There were 3 hours of darkness that covered the land while Jesus was suffering on the cross from the 6th hour to the 9th hour. Three is the number of resurrection. Christ was dead for three full days and three full nights, a total of 72 hours, before being resurrected on Saturday, April 8, just before sunset. Appearances of the number three There were only three individuals who witnessed Jesus' transfiguration on Mount Hermon. Those who saw Jesus' glory on the mount were John, Peter and James. The apostle Paul was an exceptionally well educated person. In three different occasions he quotes directly from Greek poets (Acts 17 28, 1 Corinthians 15 33 and Titus 1 12). He also was privileged to visit the location of God's throne, which is in the third heaven (2 Corinthians 12 2 4).
The full Meaning of The Number 4 The number 4 derives its meaning from creation. On the fourth day of what is called 'creation week' God completed the material universe. On this day he brought into existence our sun, the moon, and all the stars (Genesis 1 14 19). Their purpose was not only to give off light, but also to divide the day from the night on earth, thus becoming a basic demarcation of time. They were also made to be a type of signal that would mark off the days, years and seasons. Interestingly, the Hebrew word for 'seasons' in Genesis 1 14 is moed, which literally translated is "appointed times" (divine appointments) in reference to God's festivals. This is the earliest known allusion to what would later be called the Holy (or Feast) days (periods) of worship, which are seven in number. The 4th of the Ten Commandments is to remember and keep God's holy Sabbath day (Exodus 20 9 11). The Sabbath day is tied directly to the creation week. God himself made the period between Friday sunset and Saturday sunset extra special when he rested on it after bringing everything into existence the previous six days (Genesis 2 1 3, Exodus 20 11). Appearances of the number four One of the top ten most frequently mentioned women in the Bible, Eve, is only referenced four times (Genesis 3 20, 4 1, 2 Corinthians 11 3 and 1 Timothy 2 13). Psalm 107 is the only section or chapter in God's word that contains the exact same phrase four times (Psalm 107 8, 15, 21 and 31).
The full Meaning of The Number 5 The number 5 symbolizes God's grace, goodness and favor toward humans and is mentioned 318 times in Scripture. Five is the number of grace, and multiplied by itself, which is 25, is 'grace upon grace' (John 1 16). The Ten Commandments contains two sets of 5 commandments. The first five commandments are related to our treatment and relationship with God, and the last five concern our relationship with others humans. Appearances of the number five There are five primary types of offerings God commanded Israel to bring to him. They are the Burnt Offering (Leviticus 1; 8 18 21; Leviticus 16 24), Sin (Leviticus 4 16; 3 22), Trespass (Leviticus 5 14 19; 6 1 7; Leviticus 7 1 6), Grain (Leviticus 2) and Peace Offering (Leviticus 3 Leviticus 7 11 34). The Book of Psalms is divided into five major sections. Section 1 (Psalm 1 to 41) refers to the Passover, Israel's beginning, and the start of the God's plan of salvation that centers around Christ. Section 2 (42 to 72) sings about a unified Israel in the land and pictures the creation of the New Testament Church. Section 3 (73 to 89) bemoans the destruction of both God's Temple and Jerusalem. This section also hints at prophecies regarding the End Time Great Tribulation. Section 4 (90 to 106) rejoices over the 1,000 reign of Jesus and shows Israel gathered again. Section 5 (107 to 150) pictures a time when Judah (representing all Israel) shall again be delivered. There are five books of God's Law (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy) commonly referred to as the Pentateuch ('Penta' means five).
The full Meaning of The Number 6 In the Bible, the number 6 symbolizes man and human weakness, the evils of Satan and the manifestation of sin. Man was created on the sixth day. Men are appointed 6 days to labor. A Hebrew slave was to serve six years and be released in the 7th year. Six years were appointed for the land to be sown and harvested. The number 6 is also associated with Satan in his temptation of Jesus. The bringing together of three 6's is the number and mark of the end time Beast of Revelation. As such, it represents the very best system of governance that mankind can produce WITHOUT God and under the constant influence of his chief adversary. Man's system on earth is made up of three parts (economic, religious and governmental) all of which are influenced and led by Satan. When 666 is multiplied by 7 it equals 4662, which depicts man's total imperfection under Lucifer. When added across, 4 + 6 + 6 + 2 = 18; and 18 divided by 3 is 6. Appearances of the number six Jephthah (in the East) served six years as a Judge of Israel (Judges 12 7). The Bible mentions six earthquakes (Exodus 19 18, 1 Kings 19 11, Amos 1 1, Matthew 27 54, 28 2, Acts 16 26).
Jesus was accused six times of being demon possessed (Mark 3 22, John 7 20, 8 48, 8:52, 10 20 and Luke 11 15).
The full Meaning of The Number 7 Used 735 times (54 times in the book of Revelation alone), the number 7 is the foundation of God's word. If we include with this count how many times 'sevenfold' (6) and 'seventh' (119) is used, our total jumps to 860 references. Seven is the number of completeness and perfection (both physical and spiritual). It derives much of its meaning from being tied directly to God's creation of all things. According to Jewish tradition, the creation of Adam occurred on October 7th, 3761 B.C. (or the first day of Tishrei, which is the seventh month on the Hebrew calendar). The word 'created' is used 7 times describing God's creative work (Genesis 1 1, 21, 27 three times; 2 3; 2 4). There are 7 days in a week and God's Sabbath is on the 7th day. The Bible, as a whole, was originally divided into 7 major divisions. They are 1) the Law; 2) the Prophets; 3) the Writings, or Psalm 4) the Gospels and Acts 5) the General Epistles 6) the Epistles of Paul; and 7) the book of Revelation. The total number of originally inspired books was forty-nine, or 7 x 7, demonstrating the absolute perfection of the Word of God. Appearances of the number seven There are at least seven men in the Old Testament who are specifically mentioned as a man of God. They are Moses (Joshua 14:6), David (2 Chronicles 8:14), Samuel (1 Samuel 9 6, 14), Shemaiah (1 Kings 12 22), Elijah (1 Kings 17 18), Elisha (2 Kings 5 8) and Igdaliah (Jeremiah 35 4). In the book of Hebrews, written by the apostle Paul, he uses seven titles to refer to Christ. The titles are 'Heir of all things' (Hebrews 1 2), 'Captain of our salvation' (2 10), 'Apostle' (3 1), 'Author of salvation' (5 9), 'Forerunner' (6 20), 'High Priest' (10 21) and the 'Author and finisher of our faith' (12 2).

Why is Pentecost the servant branch? The Holy Spirit represented by the fourth branch of the menorah. It came on the day of Pentecost or the Feast of Pentecost. It brings the Holy Spirit to build the church around Jesus. “Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire” Acts 2 3.
Moses leads the Israelites out of bo***ge from Egypt. Then Moses went up on the mountain for forty days Exodus Chapter 34. Then Moses comes off the mountain with the commandments. It was 50 days on the day of Pentecost. When he came off that mountain on the day of Pentecost. The bible says, “And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off” Exodus 20 18. God spoke with a noise of the trumpet and his voice could be heard in 70 different languages of the nation at the first Pentecost Acts 2 1 2.
When Moses comes down from the mountain. God comes down off the mountain. Jewish tradition says, Three thousand souls die because they are worshiping a gold cow. On the day of Pentecost tongues of fire show up. Then three thousand souls are converted. “Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them” Acts 2 41.
Heres what the center branch number four represents on the menorah.
The light of Pentecost or the light of Holy Spirit came on people to baptize them.
The oil or anointing of Pentecost. Which every lamp had oil. That means the first thousand years is from Adam to the first translation to Enoch. Every thousand years God has his people. Who have the oil (anointing). This happens every thousand years. We are presently getting ready to fulfill Pentecost. Next is the Rapture on the feast of Trumpets (Leviticus 23 24). Then the Day of Atonement which is the Tribulation (Leviticus 23 27).
Then Tabernacles (Leviticus 23 34) Jesus comes to setup the Kingdom. We enter the Kingdom on Earth and the Saints Reign with Christ 1,000 Years Revelation 20 4. “Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years” Revelation 20:6. So right now we are living at the servant branch number 4. The oil and light represents. The church has the light. The Oil is the anointing.
The 4th branch is called servant branch. This is what it means. The servant spirit of Pentecost. That when you are baptized in the Holy Spirit. You come into your individual Pentecost. You are going to serve God and serve people.
The sun and stars were created on the fourth day of creation (Genesis 1 14 19). “Then God made two great lights: the greater light (sun) to rule the day, and the lesser light (stars and moon) to rule the night.“ The sun is the light now for all creation. The Sun serves as the servant for the light of all creation. The menorah is 7 thousand years of history. The servant branch is the number four representing 4 thousand years. This is from the time Adam (one thousand years) and then came Jesus the Lamb of God (four thousand years). Jesus is the servant who became the light of the world. It is all encoded in the menorah.
Now Jesus in heaven and says, (Revelation 1 12 13) Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band. (Revelation 1 20)The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands which you saw are the seven churches.
The seven churches in relationship to the menorah.
1. Ephesus: Revelation 2 1 7 The Loveless Church (Branch 1)
2. Smyrna: Revelation 2 8 11 The Persecuted Church (Branch 2)
3. Pergamos: Revelation 2 12 17 The Compromising Church (Branch 3)
4. Thyatira: Revelation 2 18 29 The Corrupt Church (Branch 4)
5. Sardis: Revelation 3 1 6 The Dead Church (Branch 5)
6. Philadelphia: Revelation 3 7 13 The Faithful Church (Branch 6)
7. Laodiceans: Revelation 3 14 22 The Lukewarm Church (Branch 7)
Everything starts centered on the fourth branch of Menorah. This is the key branch. The fourth church is Thyatira. Here is what it says, “‘These things says the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire.” He mentions fire on the fourth church. Which is the fourth light of the menorah. Eyes are shaped like almonds. On top of the menorah are almond blossom. Aarons rod has almond blossoms. The miraculous flowering of the rod was also considered a type of the Incarnation of Christ and his Virgin Birth, and appears in scenes of the Annunciation to Mary. God likes our eyes so much he made them in the shape of almonds.
There are 7 Trumpet Judgments Revelation 8 10
First Trumpet: Vegetation Struck with Hail, Fire and Blood. Which represents first branch on the menorah. Revelation 8 7
Second Trumpet: The Seas Struck, with a Burning Meteorite “something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood.” Which represents second branch on the menorah. Revelation 8 8 9
Third Trumpet: The Waters Struck, Star called Wormwood. Which represents third branch on the menorah. Revelation 8 11
Fourth Trumpet: The Heavens Struck, Darken of the sun, moon and stars. “A third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night.” Revelation 8 12
Fifth Trumpet: The Locusts from the Bottomless Pit. Star with the key to the pit. Which represents fifth branch on the menorah. Revelation 9 1
Sixth Trumpet: The Angels from the Euphrates and four angels are loosed. Which represents sixth branch on the menorah. Revelation 9 14
Seventh Trumpet: It is finished, “the mystery of God would be finished.” When comes to this, it is the end of it. We are eternal. Which represents seventh branch on the menorah. Revelation 10 7
There is a Pouring out of 7 bowls with the wrath of God on the earth Revelation 16 1.
First Bowl: Loathsome Sores on those with the mark (666) of the beast and those who worshiped his image (Branch 1 of the Menorah). Revelation 16 2
Second Bowl: The Sea Turns to Blood (Branch 2 of the Menorah). Revelation 16 3
Third Bowl: The Waters Turn to Blood (Branch 3 of the Menorah). Revelation 16 4
Fourth Bowl: Sun scorched men with fire. “And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; and they did not repent and give Him glory”. (Branch 4 of the Menorah). Revelation 16 9
Fifth Bowl: Darkness and Pain, Darkness on the Beast Kingdom . (Branch 5 of the Menorah). Revelation 16 10
Sixth Bowl: “Angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water were dried up”. (Branch 6 of the Menorah) Revelation 16 12
Seventh Bowl: The Earth Utterly Shaken, “The temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, “It is done!”. (Branch 7 of the Menorah) Revelation 16 17
Always the number seven says, “It is done” “Finished” That is why Genesis 2 2 says, “And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done.” From the time Adam to when God setup the thousand year millennium is six thousand years. That is a thousand year reign of Jesus. The number seven is when God rested for thousand years. That is why everything ends with seven. On the menorah there are seven branches that represent seven thousand years of history.
Glory to Elohim, Thank you Yeshua (ישוע)!
