777 could be bad.
Check out the number 6 in Hebrew, it looks like 7. So in Hebrew, 777, could be 666.
Although God's number may be 7, but it's definitely not 777 (Unless there's anything I've missed)
I'm astonished at all this talk about tattoos on here, though I've just learned from your post that it concerned a fear of offending God by having yourself tattooed. That sounds a bit mad to me. If He countenances more significant mutilations, such as nose-rings and ear-piercing for ear-rings on women, which he evidently does and has from time immemorial, I can't imagine He would become angry or upset by his children applying tattoos to their mortal bodies.
[On edit : Well, it seems I was wrong about that as far as the ancient Hebrews were concerned, under the Mosaic Law, though It seems clear that we are not subject to all its demands. Agonising over such a detail of the Mosaic Law - and I believe there are other much stranger ones - or whether you've blasphemed against the Holy Spirit seems unnecessary - and perhaps the tattoos, likewise, to avoid infections.
We don't eat Kosher, Christ having told us that it is such actions as detraction, in relation to a person's character, issuing
from our mouth, what comes
out of it, not not what goes
into it by way of food, the residue of which we excrete. As well as some of the food commandments, much of the ritual hand-washing before meals, (without cutlery, of course) might well have been primarily matters of hygiene.
But the bottom line, even of the Mosaic Law, which nevertheless, since it goes against our 'fallen' nature, we often neglect even as Christians, is that all of the laws of God are aimed at making selfless love of our fellows, a faithful reflection of our love of God, our overriding priority.
As for 'merely coincidences' in the matter of the three 7s, I don't believe there are such things as coincidences, that they are all providential, and when significant-seeming to us, are meant to express God's very personal interest in each one of us, as his beloved, unique 'firstborns', to the extent that his providence provided for these coincidences, as well as everything else, from before the birth of the universe. But unlike 'everything else', those personal seeming coincidences are meant to register to us, how we each one of us register, to him as His own very, very special 'dearly Beloveds'. We are not just one of the crowd. We are all special to him.
When my wife was still down here with me, in this vale of tears, for a period of several months, again and again, often a few times a week, she would write down a word in a crossword puzzle, or I would read something on the computer, at the very moment when someone on the TV said the same word. On one occasion, I read a quote from a female race-horse trainer on the computer, a fairly short sentence, but several words long, at the same moment that someone said exactly the same sentence on the TV, and on a different subject.
And it wasn't a kind of standard quote or saying. It seems God likes to have fun with us, sometimes, at the same time as He's reminding us that He's watching out for us. 'I will not forget you. See. I have carved you on the palm of my hand.' And come to think of it, that's a pretty heavy-duty tattoo. He's up to his tricks again !
