Leviticus 9:1
"And it came to pass on the eighth day, that
Moses called Aaron and his sons,
and the elders of Israel;"
The
number seven represents the physical world. When God created the world, it took
seven days. There are seven days in one week, and seven years in the sabbatical
cycle. There are seven notes in a musical scale and seven spectral colors.
Seven is the foundation of the earth. The word "sabbatical means, time to grow."
Eight
signifies the spiritual world. Eight is beyond seven, beyond the physical
world. Eight represents eternity. In fact, if you turn the number eight on its
side, you get the sign for infinity!
Heaven and earth are separated. But
while heaven and earth are worlds apart, there is a way to bridge them. There
is a way to bring heaven down to earth.
When
God gives us a commandment to perform in this physical world, we are given the
opportunity to transform something physical into something spiritual. Everything we do is
no longer purely physical when it takes into account God’s laws and spirit.
Every physical act can bridge heaven and earth when it is elevated for God’s
purposes.
Here’s
how we can join seven and eight, the physical and the spiritual: Take our daily
activities and dedicate them to God. Eating? Say a blessing over the food.
Exercising? Dedicate our healthy bodies to God’s service. Working? Commit to
tithing our earnings. When we make the physical spiritual, we will succeed in
bridging seven and eight, heaven and earth a balance
between the two.
"And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the congregation, and came out, and blessed the people: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the people. And there came a fire out from before the LORD, and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat: which when all the people saw, they shouted, and fell on their faces," (Lev. 9:23-24).
Amen!
