Seven

I always had a liking for the number seven and then I soon found out that eight was Jesus number and now I like that number too.

Number seven

Took me to heaven

But when I met eight

I continued in a happy state

Number 888, like the  great I Am, Is eternal

Now I am escaping the hell I once held internal

888 is said by some to represent the way, the truth, and the life

Follow it and put away your strife

Eight carried me around and around

With no beginning or end,

On this roller coaster I was found

A roller coaster of valleys and mountains

On his mountain of praise I drank from his fountain

And like a gazelle I  descended with a leap to a valley of people

And taught them about Jesus and erected a church and steeple

Then back up to praise mountain to be in the presence of His love

Whose heart and life came directly from above

He laid his life down and He said I would too

Then back up to heaven with his angels He flew.

 

 

Author's Note

Number 8 is supposed to represent Jesus. I like the number eight because it has no beginning or end.

This is new for me that 8 is represent Holy jesus. Eight is the symbol of infinite so quite close to heaven, we must understand. Thanks for sharing dear poet.

Seven and forty being sacred numbers to Judaic thought, I had known 8 as the infinity number. You expressed a concept you hold dear and that emotion became obvious with the reading. Well done.

Interesting. A well constructed write that almost makes spirituality come off scientifically.

[Honey-Bee]

Thanks KL Goode! God does do a lot of thing in numbers example 7 is used to represent completion in the bible and many other number represent things.

I count and add everything. It's a thing of mine.

In The book of Genesis in the scripture written in the Hebrew you will find the names of the followers of God recorded before they were even born. Every 49 words. I am not sure if it is side ways or backwards or what but according to scholars they are in Genesis. I don't know Hebrew so their is no way for me to check it out. There are many hidden secrets like that in the bible.

Thanks Baby!

Great poem, very in-depth and philosophical. Also, if you turn 8 on it's side, it's the symbol for infinity.

[Honey-Bee]

Thanks! I didn't know 8 turned on its side is the symbol for infinity. Cool!
