3-1-3 = 7

The number seven is often broken down in scripture into a 3-1-3 pattern, totaling seven, where the “1” is always an event found in the middle with a connection to Jesus. “Three” seems to be introduced, then followed by the pinnacle of “One”, then the wrap-up of “Three” again. The menorah has 7 branches. Three on the left, one in the middle, and three on the right.

However, whenever there is only a 3-1 without the last “3”, then it seems there is something incomplete, with unfinished business.

THE MENORAH:

Three branches on the left and three branches on the right with Jesus as the stem in the middle.

JESUS’ CRUCIFIXION WEEK:

For three days Jesus taught in the temple as the leaders conspired to kill him. Then, He was crucified. Then He was buried for three days in the heart of the earth.

JESUS ON THE CROSS:

From 9am until Noon Jesus was on the cross. At Noon Darkness covered the land. Then He was on the cross until 3pm.

ABRAHAM AND ISAAC:

Abraham took Isaac to Mount Moriah on a three day journey.
Then he offered to sacrifice Isaac on Mt. Moriah where the temple was built years 430 years later. Isaac was redeemed by a Ram who had a crown of thorns wrapped around his horns (power).
Then they journeyed home for another three days.

THE MIMIC MESSIAH:

For three years the Antichrist honors his seven year peace treaty. In the middle of the seven years (in the fourth year) he betrays the Jews and declares that it is he who is “god”, then there is another three years before the tribulation is over.

GENESIS 1:1: A Perfect Pattern Example: “3 words”, an untranslated word, and “3 words follow to end the first sentence in the bible. The middle word is the Alef and Tav (Hebrew) or Alpha and Omega (Greek), pointing to Jesus in the middle.

Three words before the untranslated Alpha and Omega signifying Jesus. Then three words following the untranslated Jesus who is also the word “AND” because He holds all things together.

THE JEWISH FEASTS:

There are seven Jewish Feasts.
Three of which Jesus fulfilled: Passover, First Fruits with the Wave Offering, and the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
The fourth feast is Pentecost, commemorating when Moses received the Ten Commandments (the Law) on Mount Sinai, passing the torch from the Old Covenant “Law” to the New Covenant “Grace” when “tongues” were given to the church on Pentecost, pointing to Jesus’ Last Supper.
The last three are yet to come: the Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, and the Feast of Booths. These three are yet unfulfilled, with the pattern of the ” Rapture, the Return of Jesus, and Jesus ruling in Jerusalem during the Millennium.

JESUS IS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD:

Jesus is the visible manifestation of the invisible God.

Light is generally broken down into seven parts:

The seven light waves are: radio waves (invisible), microwaves (invisible), infrared (invisible), the COLOR SPECTRUM (VISIBLE), ultraviolet light (invisible), X-rays (invisible) and gamma-rays (invisible).

Jesus Is the Visible Light (the color spectrum) in the middle of the seven parts.

JESUS IS THE LIFE OF THE WORLD:

There are seven colors in the Rainbow:

1. Red
2. Orange
3. Yellow
4. GREEN: Symbolic for Life.
5. Blue
6. Indigo
7. Violet

The middle color is “Green”, symbolic of “Life”.

Revelation 4:3 And He who sat there was like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald (green).

• Love (Red), Laughter (Orange), Light (Yellow), Life (Green), Leisure (Cyan), Largesse (Blue), Learning (Violet)

THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES (BOOTHS):

Jesus refused to attend the Feast until the middle of the seven-day Feast of Tabernacles, when He then arrived.

John 7:¹⁴ Now about the middle of the feast (of Tabernacles) Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
