8 can symbolize new beginnings & 7 is the seal of God - the mark of God.
Do you see/sense anything new beginning in your church, some kind of new move of God?
Are you researching or thinking about the rapture at the moment?
Approx how many people are in your church?
good input ... 3 (of God) + 4 (of the world) = 7 ... Spiritual completeness ...
for some reason I immediately though of Psalm 87 ...
here it is ... it's short ...
Psalm 87
the glories of Zion
His foundation is in the holy mountains.
The Lord loveth the gates of Zion more
than all the dwellings of Jacob.
Glorious things are spoken of thee,
O city of God. Selah
I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon
to them that know me:
behold Philistian, and Tyre, with Ethiopia;
this man was born there.
And of Zion it shall be said,
This and that man was born in her.
The Lord shall count, when he writeth up
the people,
that this man was born there.
As well the singers as the players on instru-
ments shall be there:
all my springs are in thee.
it crossed my mind about the rapture, also ... also, maybe check your hymn book at church and see what hymn 87 is ...
