The eighth day circumcision appeared to be an important day for the Hebrew Jews in the OT, with the sign of the circumcision on the 8th day being one of them.
I looked up "eighth" in a concordance and what I found was pretty profound.
http://www.eliyah.com/lexicon.html
https://www.blueletterbible.org/search/search.cfm?Criteria=eighth&t=NKJV#s=s_primary_0_1
The word "eighth" is used only 5 times in the NT, only 1 time in the Gospels, and that at the circumcision of John the Baptist in Luke 1:
Luke 1:59
So it was, on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise<4059> the child;
and they would have called him by the name of his father, Zacharias.
And in Acts concerning Abraham and Isaac:
Act 7:8 [Genesis 21:4]
“Then He gave him the Covenant of circumcision;
and so Abraham begot Isaac and circumcised him on the eighth day;
and Isaac begot Jacob, and Jacob begot the twelve patriarchs.
Paul describes how he was circumcised on the 8th day, being of the tribe of Benjamin ,who was born last in the OT <Genesis 35:18> and shown last in <Revelation 7:8>
Philippians 3:5
circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin,
a Hebrew of the Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;
Now this just floored me. The last 2 of the 5 verses listed in the NT...
I just now found this and the fact that the 8th in the NT primarily signifies "circumcision", perhaps this is related to it?
[the priestly tribe of Levi is also mentioned 8th in order of the 12 tribes in Reve 7]
Pretty fascinating....
Revelation 17:11
“The beast that was, and is not, is himself also the eighth,
and is of the seven, and is going to perdition.
[Philippians 3:2
Beware of the dogs!/kunaV <2965> beware of-the evil workers! beware of-the circumcision! [Psalm 22:16/Isaiah 56:11/Revelation 22:15]
Revelation 21:20
the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.
I tend to agree...........

Circumcision used to incapacitate an enemy before killing them......
who would have ever thought............
Genesis 34:
24 And unto Hamor, and unto Shechem his son, hearken do all those going out of the gate of his city,
and every male is circumcised, all those going out of the gate of his city.
25 And it cometh to pass, on the third day, in their being pained, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brethren, take each his sword, and come in against the city confidently, and slay every male;
26 and Hamor, and Shechem his son, they have slain by the mouth of the sword, and they take Dinah out of Shechem's house, and go out.

Anyone else see a connection between the Rich man in Luke 16 and the Queen in Revelation 18?,
This is all OC Hebrew symbology, and appears to primarily be about the Priesthood and Temple
http://www.herealittletherealittle.net/index.cfm?page_name=Lazarus
The KING
Luke 16:19
Yet a certain Man was rich
and was clothed<1737> purple and fine-linen
making-merry down to a-day shiningly
Revelation 18:
7 As much as glorifies herself, and indulges be giving to her tormenting and mourning
that in her heart she is saying 'I am sitting a Queen and widow not I am and mourning not I shall be seeing'.
16 “and saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great City that was clothed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet,
and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls!

Love the the F14!MOD HAT ON
I grew up with the F4c Phantom back in the mid '60s while in high school. My dad was stationed at a SAC base in Tucson [Davis-Monthan, which is now a "boneyard"].
Use to watch 'em take off.
It appears God prefers the "F18 Hornet"....
Deuteronomy 7:20
“Moreover Yahweh your Elohim will send the Hornet among them
until those who are left, who hide themselves from you, are destroyed.
