The Heptadic Structure of the Bible: Why God Likes to do Things in 7s: The Ezekiel series, part 77

As I was going through Ezekiel 38 and 39- which were the two chapters on Gog and Magog where we left off in Ezekiel- I was struck by all the 7s that kept coming up. Like how the weapons were going to be burned for seven years following that conflict. Or how the bodies would be left untouched for seven months. One aspect I didn’t comment on in those two chapters is that the verses are divided up into 7 different sections to explain the story of Gog and Magog.The way some people calculate it, they even believe Israel will be attacked by seven nations in that battle. And those aren’t the only sevens in Ezekiel. So before we launch into the final section of the book of Ezekiel in 2025, let’s just take a week and talk about a subject that’s a little strange, kind of a diversion, but something that could give us a big tool for our tool belts when it comes to Bible interpretation.And you’ll find out what it is today on the Cross References podcast.0:00 - The Meaning of 78:30 - Matthew’s Beginning18:30 - Mark’s EndingIf you want to get in touch with me, send an email to [email protected] you’re looking for a detailed Ezekiel Bible study, cross-referenced with supporting scripture, this podcast will provide an in-depth look at the prophets of the Bible, with clear Bible prophecy explained.
