Origins:
Throughout human history and across various cultures, the number 7 has been a number that represents many relevant aspects and facts of humanity. The Holy Bible quotes this number several times relating to events of tremendous divine importance.

When God created the world, he rested on the seventh day, after blessing it. Also when God prepared Noah for the Great Flood, Noah was asked to take 7 pairs of each species of animals to the Ark. After the seventh day the Great Flood occurred. The Ark sailed for months until on the seventh month it rested on land. When Noah sent the dove to tour the waters, it flew for 7 days before coming back. So in many parts of the Bible the number 7 is continuously mentioned as a number of special divine powers.

Also in other cultures and religions, the number 7 has been very important. In Hindu culture there were 7 branches of knowledge and there are 7 places of pilgrimage or holy cities. Also there are 7 energy centers or chakras in the human body. In Ancient Egypt, the sky was divided into 7 parts. These are just some of many other examples where the presence of this number is relevant.
