<br /><br />I can't answer these questions, you will have to ask them of the website creator. I am not a bible scholar and have never even read the bible until recently. <br /><br />This will be my final post in regards to the belief that 777 is God's number. You have an obligation to do your own research if you really want to understand the significance of anything. No one can tell you what to believe. This is an investigation into why Michael may have chosen the 777 and not what the investigators personal feelings on the subject are or what individuals choose to believe about a subject. You can not discount any factors such as esoterica, gematria, etc. because you are not Michael so all things must be considered as potential influences into why Michael chose to display the number 777. <br /><br />My understanding is that the number 777 isn't in the bible at all but that it is considered God's number because of the number 7 being mentioned so many times in the bible, considered a spiritual number, and that 7 contains the combined qualities of both the number 3 and the 4 (3 + 4 = 7).<br /><br />The Number 3<br />Number representing the Holy Trinity, it is also the number of the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity. Furthermore, the number 3 being associated to the triangle by its geometrical form, the Holy Spirit.<br />http://http://www.ridingthebeast.com/numbers/nu3.php<br /><br />3<br />The number 3 is a very mystical and spiritual number featured in many folktales (three wishes, three guesses, three little pigs, three bears, three billy goats gruff). In ancient Babylon the three primary gods were Anu, Bel (Baal), and Ea, representing Heaven, Earth, and the Abyss. Similarly, there were three aspects to the Egyptian sun god: Khepri (rising), Re (midday), and Atum (setting). In Christianity there is the Trinity of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Plato saw 3 as being symbolic of the triangle, the simplest spatial shape, and considered the world to have been built from triangles.<br />http://http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/1086220/number-symbolism/248160/3<br /><br />The Triangle<br />Some keywords associated with triangle meaning:<br /><br />http://http://www.whats-your-sign.com/triangle-meaning.html<br /><br /><br /><br />The Number 4<br />Represent the union of the three Persons of the Trinity in only one Being.<br />Symbolize the incarnation of the beings in the matter.<br />Symbol of the totality, it is considered as the root of all things.<br />Number of the double duality, two plus two, and of the universal measure, according to the Pythagorean.<br />Represented symbolically by the square or the cross.<br />Symbolizes the Earth, or what is terrestrial, the totality of created and revealed, according to the Bible.<br />Number of the balance.<br />http://http://www.ridingthebeast.com/numbers/nu4.php<br /><br />4<br />The number of order in the universe is 4—the four elements of earth, air, fire, and water; the four seasons; the four points of the compass; the four phases of the Moon (new, half-moon waxing, full, half-moon waning). The Four Noble Truths epitomize Buddhism. To the Pythagoreans 4 was the source of the tetractys 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10, the most perfect number<br />Because 4 is generally a practical, material number, few superstitions are associated with it. In the biblical Revelation to John the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse wreak destruction upon humanity.<br />http://http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/1086220/number-symbolism/248160/3<br /><br />So the number 7 and it's attributes is the key to why 777 would then be considered God's number. You also can not just decide to dismiss gematria either because this is the Ancient Jewish form of numerology.<br /><br />Numerology - Numerology is any of many systems, traditions or beliefs in a mystical or esoteric relationship between numbers and physical objects or living things.<br /><br />Everything that exists in creation has numbers involved with it, absolutely everything.<br /><br />Introduction to Gematria - Hebrew Numerology<br />In Hebrew, each letter possesses a numerical value. Gematria is the calculation of the numerical equivalence of letters, words, or phrases, and, on that basis, gaining, insight into interrelation of different concepts and exploring the interrelationship between words and ideas.<br />http://http://www.inner.org/gematria/gematria.htm<br /><br />Gematria<br />Gematria or gimatria is a system of assigning numerical value to a word or phrase, in the belief that words or phrases with identical numerical values bear some relation to each other, or bear some relation to the number itself as it may apply to a person's age, the calendar year, or the like. It is likely that the term derives from the order of the Greek alphabet, gamma being the third letter of the Greek alphabet (gamma + tria). Alternately, the word "gematria" is generally held to derive from Greek geōmetriā, "geometry" (Triangles are a geometric figure)<br />http://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gematria<br /><br />When a number is tripled it is believed it then encompasses the aspects of that number three fold; three times as much in size, strength, number, or amount. <br /><br />All of this is in contrast to the number 666 being representative of Satan and the unholy trinity. The thinking is that if 666 represents Satan than 777 represents God. 7 is greater than 6 so Satan falls short when trying to copy God's works.
I'll repeat a comment from one of the people on youtube that I agree with what you said and I also feel that way, "I can not say I know what's going on here, but I can say with certainty what is happening is much more than a superstar doing tricks with their fans. He said it himself. "I am the Light of the World." Was not Jesus described?"" <!-- s;) -->;)<!-- s;) -->
Carlos Santana Pays Tribute To Michael Jackson<br />OCTOBER 7, 2010<br />At his recent concert at London's O2 Arena, Carlos Santana dedicated the show to Michael Jackson, calling the King of Pop an "Archangel," according to reports by Bloomberg News and the London Evening Standard newspaper. Santana, one of the world's greatest guitarists, is one of many artists who have paid respect to Michael in concert tours during the past year. Michael had been scheduled to perform in residency at the O2 Arena for the "This Is It" concerts, making Santana's dedication all the more poignant. <br />http://http://www.michaeljackson.com/us/news/carlos-santana-pays-tribute-michael-jackson<br /><br />Symbolizing Archangel Michael Jackson?<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Joe Jackson Blings MJ Back from the Dead<br />10/22/2010 2:00 PM PDT by TMZ Staff <br />http://http://www.tmz.com/2010/10/22/joe-jackson-michael-jackson-bling-chain-necklace/

Hi Serenitys_Dream! Sorry that I answer just now, and thank you for your help.
Honestly I misunderstood something and I thought you know the Bible well, and that's why I asked for your help in this question.
I wished to find some connection with the Bible and the 777 because I hoped Michael took it from there. (Although I have never heard it either that it would be in the Bible...)
As I said "What really bugs me is that 777 is also the number which was used by the crazy Aleister Crowley. And scientology is based on his stupid teachings. And LMP is a scientologist..."
<!-- m -->http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/777_and_Ot ... er_Crowley<!-- m -->
Of course, 777 was used in the Torture video of The Jacksons too, way before LMP, but who knows whose idea was to use it there. (Jeff Stein directed the music video, and Al Kirschman was the scenic designer for the video.) Michael didn't even appear in the video.
Well, I guess I will wait for Michael to tell why he likes this number, and give up trying to find out.
You all may find this interesting as well. A story about a blue "eye of God" that had been discovered by astronomers was published in February 2009. The news article was published on the 25th of the month, and the image is 700 light years away from Earth.
Eye of God pictured in space European astronomers have taken a stunning photo of a Big Brother-style cosmic eye, nicknamed the Eye of God, staring down from space.
The bright blue pupil and the white of the eye are fringed by flesh-coloured eyelids - but this eye is so big that it light takes two and a half years to cross from one side to the other.
The object is actually a shell of gas and dust that has been blown off by a faint central star. Our own solar system will meet a similar fate five billion years in the future.
It lies around 700 light-years away in the constellation of Aquarius, and can be dimly seen in small backyard telescopes by amateur astronomers who call it the Helix nebula. It covers an area of sky around a quarter the size of the full moon.
The photo was taken with a giant telescope at the European Southern Observatory, high on a mountaintop at La Silla in Chile. It is so detailed that a close-up reveals distant galaxies within the central eyeball.

Thank you for posting. This fits nicely with the Age of Aquarius theory - Here is an extract from a post I wrote a couple of weeks ago in the "Age of Aquarius" thread:
The Bible description of "Jesus" correlates nicely with the cosmic law theory where main events in the Bible are representative of the movement of the stars at a certain moment in time. Jesus birth marks the start of the age of Pisces and his second coming would correspond to the start of the age of Aquarius (Possibly around 2012). Jesus represents the Son (Sun) of God, the light on Earth, the one who is here to show us the way.
A couple of interesting facts supporting the above theory:
1. Before the sun entered Pisces Jesus was the Lamb of God in Aries. "The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!" (John 1:29)
2. After his resurrection, he entered Pisces the fish. "They gave him a piece of broiled fish, and he took it and ate before them". (Luke 24:42-43).
3. Jesus is referred to as carpenter in Mark 6:3. Carpenters build houses.
4. Room and house are synonymous with house of the Zodiac. The man carrying a jar of water describes Aquarius. Aquarius is a large constellation which Luke describes as a large upper room. He said to them, "Behold, when you have entered the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you; follow him into the house which he enters, and tell the householder, 'The Teacher says to you, Where is the guest room, where I am to eat the Passover with my disciples?' And he will show you a large upper room furnished; there make ready." (Luke 22:10-12).
5. The place of their last supper symbolizes the Age of Aquarius, the time of his return.
6. And he said to them, "I have earnestly desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer; for I tell you I shall not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God." (Luke 22:15-16) In my Father's house are many rooms. (John 14:2)
7. I am the light of the world. "I am the light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." (John 8:12) "As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world." (John 9:5)
I have been researching the prophecies of ancient peoples. The first place where I found evidence of change was in books about 2012 those as Jose Arguelles, Carl Calleman and John Major Jenkins, who studied the ancient Mayas and Incas prophecies yHopis. His research in these ancient prophecies reveal very similar on a great change of consciousness predictions to bring us closer to 2012.
The Mayans, who have been saving time on Earth for 5000 years, they created codices or cosmic calendars like this, to trace the timing of the passage of humanity on a great metamorphosis.
According to the calendar of the long count they use to measure long cycles of time, the year 2012 marks the closure of several cycles of time.
According to the Mayans, the closure of the first cycle is the realization of the Galactic year. Milky way, 225 million Earth years takes it to do a complete rotation in the sky. 2012 also marks the end of:
· A cycle of 26 million Earth years
· A cycle of 78,000 Earth years
· The closure of the Mayan calendar of 26,000 years
According to the prophecy of many indigenous groups, 2012 seems to be the time when the odometer is a turnaround for the whole history of humans, Earth, our Galaxy, and perhaps all creation--the time when life experiences a break that is similar to that of caterpillars into butterflies.
The Mayans believed that human evolution is deployed as a result of these long cycles of time. His mystery plays with myths, spiritual rites and practiced the repetition of the cosmic drama created by the alignment of the Sun the Earth with the Galactic Center in 2012.
They described this alignment as a kind of cosmic exchange between father Sun and the grand mother of the Galactic Center to sent to all creation to birth a new reality. Pregnancy, birth and the embryonic origin were central concepts in their tradition.
The Mayan Tzolkin, a Mayan calendar type is based on the 260-day human gestation term. It is a harmonious representation of the Mayan calendar 26, 000 years. 260 x 100 = 26,000. It seems the Maya used the Tzolkin calendar to track both the evolution of an individual human being and the Mayan calendar 26, 000-years as a way to monitor the evolution of the human species.
From the maya, perspective in time preceding December 21, 2012, the Earth is making its shift toward the christic consciousness and transforming humanity into beings Crísticos. This process of transformation of humans, which can be bought to the transformation of a caterpillar in monarch, butterfly is known as the Ascension. The climbing term is typically used to describe the human transformation. Jose Arguelles also wrote about this from a planetary perspective in his book, Earth in ascent (Earth Ascending).
From an astrological point of view, we are in transit from the age of PISCES to the age of Aquarius. When we look in one direction, we collapse Piscianas, structures based on competitiveness and shortages. And when we see the other side, we see sprout new structures of Aquarius, based on the principles of partnership and sharing resources. This transition may cause confusion and anxiety, but nevertheless represents a single window to evolve.
Scientific information about the change the scientists who are studying the evolution from a heavenly perspective believe that there are four types of celestial events and cosmic forces that could be activating the change:
The Galactic · cycles · Solar cycles Sale · events Supernovae
There is a tremendous amount of evidence in these four areas that indicate that we are quite steep in great change of the ages. So let us look first: Galactic cycles. They are created by our Galaxy rotation of evenly-spaced energy areas that are not visible to the naked eye.
Takes approximately 26 million years pass through one of these areas and appears to us we are now moving towards one that is highly loaded. That we are moving through this accelerated energy means that it is changing our DNA, our conscience and activating our metamorphosis.
Our Galaxy, the milky way is about 100,000 years light diameter, this 30,000 years of light, and belongs to a group of three large and 30 + smaller galaxies, and is the second largest of the Andromeda Galaxy. Our solar system is almost out, on the edge of the spiral arm of Orion.
The Hubble telescope, launched by NASA in late 1995, has been opening stars us, revealing a secret once world of celestial activities and events. Many of these images really go beyond amazing - seems a window into the world of creation and evolution. Here are some of them.
This image, known as the Hourglass nebula has generated much interest.
The circle of the crop (crop circle), below, appeared in England during the month of June 2005. Some refer to him as God's eye that sees it. A specialist of the eye, who considered the top image, indicated that it is structured as a human eye.

The date June 25 also has religious significance relating to Jesus.<br /><br />Pontius Pilate<br />Pontius Pilate was the governor of the small Roman province of Judea from 26 until 36 AD. According to the Christian Gospels, he presided at the trial of Jesus and gave the order for his crucifixion.<br /><br />According to the New Testament, Jesus was brought to Pilate by the Jewish authorities in Jerusalem after they had arrested him, questioned him, and received answers from him that they considered blasphemous. Pilate's main question to Jesus was whether he considered himself to be the "king of the Jews".<br /><br />In the continuing interrogation by Pilate, related in the Gospel of John, Jesus states that he "came into the world ... to bear witness to the truth; and all who are on the side of truth listen to my voice", to which Pilate replies, "What is truth?" Pilate then offers the Jews the choice of a prisoner to release, said to be a Passover tradition, and they choose a murderer named Barabbas over Jesus. John 18 makes it apparent that Pilate could not have cared less about the conflict between Jesus and the priests, or about executing Jesus; he certainly does not seem to see Jesus' "kingdom" as any sort of a threat to Rome.<br /><br />In the Gospel of Matthew, after condemning Jesus to death, Pilate washes his hands with water in front of the crowd, who had demanded that Jesus be crucified, and says, "I am innocent of this man's blood. It is your concern." <br />http://http://www.wordiq.com/definition/Pontius_Pilate<br /><br />Pontius Pilate declared publicly that Jesus was innocent at least three times.<br />http://http://www.scribd.com/doc/3084217/The-Illegalities-of-Jesus-Religious-and-Civil-Trials-Laurna-Berg<br /><br />Coptic Orthodox Christianity is the indigenous form of Christianity that, according to tradition, the apostle Mark established in Egypt in the middle of the 1st century AD (approximately AD 60).<br /><br />The Coptic Orthodox Church<br />The Coptic Orthodox Church is the national church of Egypt. It is one of the Oriental Orthodox churches. Its leader is the Pope of Alexandria and the Patriarch of the Holy See of Saint Mark; a position not to be confused with that of the Roman Catholic Pope in Rome, nor to be confused with either of the other two bishops bearing the title of Patriarch of Alexandria (one in communion with the Roman Pope and the other the head of one of the canonical Eastern Orthodox churches). The current incumbent is Pope Shenouda III.<br /><br />Egypt is often identified as the place of refuge that the Holy Family sought in its flight from Judea: "When he arose, he took the young Child and His mother by night and departed for Egypt, and was there until the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt I called My Son" (Matthew 2:12-23). The Egyptian Church, which is now more than nineteen centuries old, was the subject of many prophecies in the Old Testament. Isaiah the prophet, in Chapter 19, Verse 19 says "In that day there will be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the LORD at its border."<br /><br />The first Christians in Egypt were mainly Alexandrian Jews such as Theophilus, whom Saint Luke the Evangelist addresses in the introductory chapter of his gospel. When the church was founded by Mark during the reign of the Roman emperor Nero, a great multitude of native Egyptians (as opposed to Greeks or Jews) embraced the Christian faith. Christianity spread throughout Egypt within half a century of Mark's arrival in Alexandria as is clear from the New Testament writings found in Bahnasa, in Middle Egypt, which date around the year 200 AD, and a fragment of the Gospel of Saint John, written in Coptic, which was found in Upper Egypt and can be dated to the first half of the second century. In the second century Christianity began to spread to the rural areas, and scriptures were translated into the local language, namely Coptic. <br />http://http://www.wordiq.com/definition/Coptic_Orthodox_Church<br /><br />The Third Roman Civil Trial of Jesus<br />During this last trial, Pilate received a message from his wife (Claudia), telling him of her dream warning him to have nothing to do with Jesus, who was a righteous man.<br />http://http://www.scribd.com/doc/3084217/The-Illegalities-of-Jesus-Religious-and-Civil-Trials-Laurna-Berg<br /><br />Pontius Pilate<br />In the Coptic Orthodox Church (predominantly African), Pontius Pilate is commemorated as a saint. According to their tradition, he secretly converted to Christianity sometime after the death of Jesus Christ, through the influence of his wife Claudia. Pilate and Claudia are both commemorated as saints on June 25.<br />http://http://www.wordiq.com/definition/Pontius_Pilate

I looked back to a very favorite huge site of mine before all of this interest. <!-- m -->http://www.askelm.com<!-- m --> , a goldmine of<br />understanding of the Bible not so much from traditional viewpoint but technically and digging<br />deep intellectually. This brilliant humble writer, now deceased, lived in Israel, knew ancient languages well, taught<br />Astronomy at University, and Archeology and was very involved in digs around the Temple Mount. On this page<br />he talks about how from the Garden of Eden to Solomon's Temple to the Universe how the Tabernacle design is for<br />all history and future and for all the Universe. 7's is throughout. Also in this chart (blow up to 100% to read) he <br />shows the symetry and design of the Bible. Especially Revelation he lists all the 7's there, but there's many more<br />elswhwere, such as 7 miracles in John, 7 General Epistles, so many. And this all relates to the Ark of the Covanent<br />which relates to Michael in the June 25, 2009 announcement from Ethiopia.<br /><!-- m -->http://www.askelm.com/restoring/res000a.pdf<!-- m --><br /><br />
The Geographical Design of the Holy Scriptures<br />By Ernest L. Martin, Ph.D., 1984<br /><br />The Temples of Solomon and King David were designed to be permanent replicas of the Tabernacle that Moses constructed in the wilderness. There were some minor differences between the permanent Temples and Tabernacle, but their central designs were always retained. The architectural necessity was the retention of the three distinct compartments known as the Holy of Holies, the Holy Place and the Court of Israel. That is, the western portion of the Sanctuary had the compartment called the Holy of Holies with an eastern entrance. Just to the east of that was another compartment called the Holy Place where the priests did their daily administrations. It also had an eastern entrance. Further east was the large compartment called the Court of Israel where ordinary Israelites were allowed to congregate.<br /><br />In the Tabernacle this large eastern Court also had a single entrance on its east side. Besides these three compartments, surrounding the Tabernacle was the Camp of the Israelites with its outer limits being 2000 cubits from the Holy of Holies where the Ark of the Covenant was housed. Just to the east of this outer limit of the Camp was the Altar of the Red Heifer which was positioned precisely east of the entrances to the Court of Israel, the Holy Place and the Holy of Holies<br /><br />The Temple Symbolized the Garden of Eden<br />These three compartments found in the Tabernacle and the permanent Temples were analogous to the three divisions of the Garden of Eden.<br /><br />The Holy of Holies was the spot in the Garden where God appeared to Adam and Eve "in the cool of the day." <br />The Holy Place itself represented the whole of the Garden which was located in the Land of Eden. <br />The Court of Israel represented the Land of Eden and in its western part (after the expulsion of our first parents from the Garden region) was an altar on which Cain and Abel offered their sacrifices. This altar was located at the east entrance to the Garden. <br />But further east (and outside the limits of Eden) was the Land of Nod into which Cain was banished. <br />A further altar was raised up in Nod on the east side of Eden on which the sin offering for Cain and his descendants would be offered to cleanse them of sins. This was analogous to the Altar of the Red Heifer which was also east of the Tabernacle and the permanent Temples. <br />In the time of Christ, this Altar of the Red Heifer was situated directly east of the Temple entrances near the summit of the Mount of Olives. This was the region of Golgotha where Christ (the greatest sin offering of all time) was offered for the sins of Israel and the world. 1<br /><br />The Jews Are the Legal Custodians of the Holy Scriptures<br />The 22 books of the Hebrew and Aramaic Scriptures along with the 27 books of the Greek Scriptures (representing 49 books in all, that is, 7 times 7 books) are found in seven precise divisions:<br /><br />The Law of Moses <br />The Prophets <br />The Writings or Royal Section <br />The Gospels with Acts <br />The General Epistles <br />The Epistles of Paul <br />The Book of Revelation <br />These books were given into the custody of the priests and elders of Israel for safekeeping (Deuteronomy 31:9, 26) and Paul confirmed this by stating that the Jews had great advantage over the Gentiles because "unto them were committed (or "entrusted") the oracles of God" (Romans 3:1–2). The priests and elders of Israel were assigned these authoritative roles in association with the Tabernacle and later at the Temple in Jerusalem. Interestingly, the Seven Divisions of the Holy Scriptures are also intimately connected with Temple symbolism.<br />The Temple and the Holy Scriptures<br />The Holy Scriptures are called the Word of God for Israel and mankind. Paul said they represent "the oracles of God" in an authoritative way. But the Temples were also called "the Oracles of God" (1 Kings 6:5; Psalm 28:2). 2 The place where God spoke in a Temple was specifically referred to as "the Oracle of God" (2 Samuel 16:23). It was significant that the written Law of Moses was deposited for safe keeping alongside the Ark of the Covenant inside the Holy of Holies (the Oracle, Deuteronomy 31:26).<br /><br />When we look closely at the relationship between the written Oracles of God and that compartment of the Temple called, in a geographical sense, the Oracle of God, there is a definite connection. The First Division (the Law of Moses) placed alongside the Ark of the Covenant became inextricably affiliated, in a geographical sense, with the First Compartment of the Temple (the Holy of Holies.<br /><br />Division One: The Law of Moses. These first five books of the Bible were written by Moses and given into the hands of the priests and elders for preservation and teaching (Deuteronomy 31:9–10ff). They represent the primary "oracles of the law" and they were placed in the "Oracle of God" (the Holy of Holies) in the Temple alongside the Ark (Deuteronomy 31:26). For those who lived during the Old Testament period, this was the holiest written part of the divine oracles and they were placed in the holiest geographical spot in the Temple.<br /><br />Division Two: The Prophets. The next six books of the Bible (Joshua/Judges, the Book of Kingdoms, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, the Twelve) were written by prophets (most of whom were priests) and these books were prophetic introductions or messages designed for Israel and spoken primarily by priests. The priestly division of the Temple was the Holy Place just east of the Holy of Holies and Division Two of the Bible became associated with this area. The Prophets’ Division is analogous to the Holy Place.<br /><br />Division Three: The Writings or Royal Division. These eleven books of the Bible were associated with the royal personalities such as David, Solomon, Hezekiah, Josiah, etc., and they represented the philosophical and esoteric teachings to Israelites in a calendar context. The holiness of these books is associated with the Court of Israel located east of the Holy Place or the Holy of Holies.<br /><br />Division Four: The Gospels and the Book of Acts. These five books of the Bible represent the Law of Christ as found in the Greek Scriptures and are similar to the Law of Moses in the Hebrew Scriptures. They are also associated with the Temple, but NOT with the three compartments of the Temple located near the southern summit of the Mount of Olives. Ezekiel prophesied that the Shekinah of God (the Spirit of God which made the Temple on Mount Moriah holy) was to leave the three compartments of the physical Temple at Jerusalem and position itself on the top of the Mount of Olives (Ezekiel 11:22–23).<br /><br />Both Jewish and Christian records from the 1st to the 4th centuries show that the Shekinah did in fact leave Moriah and located itself at the top of Olivet near where Christ was crucified and resurrected. 3 What this means is that the Shekinah left the Temple and the Camp of Israel to go to the Altar of the Red Heifer east of Mount Moriah on the Mount of Olives and that Olivet became a new "El-Beth-El" (or God’s own House of God) for Israelites and for Gentiles.<br /><br />The Shekinah through the death and resurrection of Christ established itself in the midst of the world for all people to approach and become part of it. This was the place of the sin offering that God promised Cain and his descendants that was east of Eden (the Camp and Court of Israel) and east of the Garden (the Holy Place on Moriah). And the five books of the Bible that represent this new "House of God" are the four Gospels and the Book of Acts. Note that these historical works about the life of Christ (on earth and in heaven) began their messages within Israel but the final destination of teaching the Gospel extended to the capital of the Gentile world, Rome (Acts 28).<br /><br />Division Five: The General Epistles. The "Jewish apostles" wrote these seven epistles and they were written to the twelve tribes in the dispersion — that is, to those Israelites who were away from Jerusalem and the new "House of God" which was associated with the Red Heifer Altar on the Mount of Olives. These seven epistles to the Gentiles are placed before Paul’s simply to accord with biblical law that the oracles of God should go first to the Israelites (which teaching is found throughout the Book of Acts and the epistles of Paul).<br /><br />With the Shekinah’s abandonment of Mount Moriah as the "House of God" as Ezekiel promised, the new "Bethel" (the "El-Beth-El") was now centered around the ritualistic symbolism associated with the Red Heifer and the sacrifice of Christ on the Mount of Olives. The Jewish apostles in these seven epistles were directing Israelites to devote their attention now to Jesus and to the symbolism of the Mount of Olives — the new gateway to heaven in a figurative sense (like in the case of Jacob’s ladder). In other words, Jesus had become the new "Holy of Holies" on Olivet for all Jews scattered over the whole world.<br /><br />Division Six: The Epistles of Paul. Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles, wrote these fourteen books of the Bible. Since the Book of Acts started its message with the symbolic holiness now attached to the Mount of Olives (the new "House of God) and leads us directly to Rome (the capital city of the Gentile world), the teachings of these fourteen epistles were designed to bring to conversion the Gentiles in the European section of the Empire (and by later extension to all those in the whole world).<br /><br />Division Seven: The Book of Revelation. The final book of the Bible sums up the prophetic history of the earth with the earth becoming the residence of God the Father with no physical Temple. Finally the earth itself becomes the new "Holy of Holies" for the entire universe. The biblical story thus began with the Holy of Holies being at the center of the Garden of Eden, then the Tabernacle and physical Temples were its center, then the Mount of Olives, then it expanded to all areas on earth where Israelites were, then expanding to include Gentiles, and finally continuing to expand until all the earth becomes the "Holy of Holies" to the whole universe.
(See the many 7's in Revelation in the chart link above.)http://www.askelm.com/restoring/res999.htm<br /><br />Also I wanted to mention the amazing generations in the Bible from Adam to Jesus Christ that are 7's.<br />From God and his son Adam to Abraham is 21 generations. (7x3=21 or 777) Luke 3:34-38<br />"17So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations."<br />Matthew 1:17 (2x7=17, 2x7=14, 2x7=14; or 77, 77, 77)<br /><br />And I'm sure there's many more 7's. Makes me wonder how many generations are in MJ's life but I guess we'll<br />never know unless told. 2010 years later. Oh well...
@ Serenity, I asked you in the visions thread already with no answer from you.
Where does this Pilatus and Claudia research leads us. I am lost.
Pontius Pilate declared Jesus innocent at least three times and for this he is considered a Saint.
Saint Pontius Pilate is celebrated on June 25 in Ethiopia.
Michael's "death" occurs on June 25, 2009.
Ethiopia is the possible location of the "Ark of the Covenant".
Th Ethiopian Church announces on June 25, 2009 that the Ark is going to be revealed.
On June 26th this was rescinded after a meeting with the Pope.
Michael has a Royal Coat of Arms (resembling the British COA, not exact but similar) on the Gates of Neverland. It is described as "the Jackson Family Crest".
The Royal Families in this world, are Royals because it is believed that they can trace their lineage back to King David of Israel which Jesus is also supposedly a descendant of.
Michael dresses very similar to the King of Ethiopia.
Michael is descended from slaves, many slaves came from Ethiopia.
When Michael visited Africa he was made a king and was greeted with signs saying "Welcome Home".
In the Book of Revelation the number SEVEN is used throughout. There are SEVEN churches, SEVEN Spirits, SEVEN stars, SEVEN seals, SEVEN trumpets, SEVEN vials, SEVEN personages, SEVEN dooms, and SEVEN new things. SEVEN symbolizes Spiritual Perfection. All of life revolves around this number. SEVEN is used over 700 times in the Bible. It is used 54 times in the Book of Revelation.
The whole Word of God is founded upon the number SEVEN. It stands for the SEVENTH day of the Creation Week, and speaks of the Millennial Rest day. It denotes COMPLETENESS or PERFECTION.
In Leviticus 23:15-16, the number SEVEN and the Sabbath, which was the SEVENTH day, is connected with the word COMPLETE. The word COMPLETE follows after the words “SEVEN SABBATH” (Seventh day). The day following the SEVENTH sabbath there was something NEW that took place.
The word FINISHED is also connected with the number SEVEN. In Revelation 10:7 we read,
“In the days of the voice of the SEVENTH angel, when he shall begin to sound the mystery of God should be FINISHED.”
“It is DONE” is another expression found in connection with the number Seven.
“And the SEVENTH angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne saying, It is DONE.” (Revelation 16:17)
The word CREATED is used SEVEN times in connection with God’s creative work. (Genesis 1:1; Genesis 1:21; 1:27 (three times); 2:3; and 2:4). God created all things in the beginning and then took six days of restoring His creation and then rested on the SEVENTH day. (Genesis 2:1-3). He appointed SEVEN days for the week, and most, if not all advanced nations reckon time in that way: SEVEN days to the week. Few ever stop to think of why there are SEVEN days in a week. Do atheists and infidels give God and the Bible credit for it?
There are SEVEN notes in the musical scale. All other pitches are only variations of these. When the musician uses the eighth note he goes back to “do” and starts over. Man named the notes but God fixed the sounds, even as God fixed the days of the week, and man named them.
Noah took the clean beasts into the ark by SEVENS (Genesis 7:2) SEVEN days after Noah went into the ark the flood came. (Genesis 7:-10) Peter tells about the long-suffering of God waiting in the days of Noah. (I Peter 3:21) Those SEVEN days COMPLETED God’s time of waiting.
Before Aaron and his sons entered their priestly work they were consecrated SEVEN days. (Leviticus 8:31-36) Here is a picture of a life COMPLETELY or WHOLLY consecrated or dedicated to the Lord for service.
On the day of atonement the high priest sprinkled the blood upon the mercy seat SEVEN times. (Leviticus 16:14) This is a picture of the COMPLETENESS of the redemptive work of Christ.
“By his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us." (Hebrews 9:12)
When Christ offered Himself that FINISHED the sacrificial offerings. They were ended. No longer must we place sacrifices upon an altar.
When Israel took the city of Jericho God told them to march around the city SEVEN times. Thus, on the SEVENTH day, when they marched around the city SEVEN times, they COMPLETED their marching. (Joshua 6:1-16)
There were SEVEN FEAST days of our Lord. (Passover, Unleavened, First-fruits, Pentecost, Atonement, Trumpets and Tabernacle). (Leviticus 23:1-44)
There were SEVEN branches on the CANDLESTICK in the Holy Place in the Tabernacle and this pictures the COMPLETE light of God for the souls of man.
Solomon was SEVEN years in building the Temple and kept the Feast for SEVEN days. Job had SEVEN sons. When his friends came to visit him they sat SEVEN days and SEVEN nights in silence, and afterward they were required to offer a Burnt Offering of SEVEN bullocks and SEVEN rams. Naaaman washed SEVEN times in the Jordan. The Saviour spoke SEVEN words from the Cross. SEVEN men of honest report were chosen to administer the alms of the church in Acts 6:1-7. There were SEVEN years of plenty and SEVEN years of famine in Egypt during the days of Joseph.
SEVEN times in the Book of Revelation blessing of the Lord are promised to His people. These are called the “BEATITUDES” of Revelation. These are found in Chapters 1:3; 14:13; 16:15; 19:9; 20:6; 22:7, 14.
There are SEVEN Dispensations -- Innocence, Conscience, Government, Patriarchal, Law, Grace, and Milleniah (sic) Age.
SEVEN times the Book of Life is mentioned in the Bible. The Book of Revelation is a Book of SEVENS. We have SEVEN churches, SEVEN seals, SEVEN Trumpets, SEVEN Personages, SEVEN vails (sic), SEVEN dooms, SEVEN new things. SEVEN SEVENS make up this Book . It is the COMPLETENESS of all things.
Jesus said to “forgive SEVENTY times SEVEN“ In other words, He is saying, “Keep on forgiving until you are complete.” Even the duration of Israel’s great punishments was based upon this law of SEVENS. Their captivity in Babylon was for SEVENTY years, ten periods of SEVENS. (Jeremiah 25:11-12; Daniel l9:2)
Life operates in a cycle of SEVENS. Changes take place in the body every SEVEN years. There are SEVEN bones in the neck, SEVEN bones in the face, SEVEN bones in the ankle, and SEVEN holes in the head. Most births are multiple of SEVENS. The hen sits three weeks (21 days); the pigeon two weeks (14 days); after having laid eggs for two weeks. Of 129 species of Mammalia (sic) the majority have a period from conception to birth of an exact number of weeks, a multiple of SEVEN.
Human physiology is constructed on a law of SEVENS. Children are born to mothers in a certain number of weeks usually 280 days, a multiple of SEVENS. Fevers and intermittent attacks of gout, ague, and similar complaints have a period of operation of SEVEN, FOURTEEN or TWENTY-ONE days knows as critical days.
All departments of nature are marked all over with mathematics. In this realm practically everything is in SEVENS. Notice next time the shape of frost when it crystallizes on the window. Notice the small snow flakes. It is wonderful how God formed everything in a pattern of SEVENS.
It would be well for the reader to always remember the SEVEN means COMPLETENESS or SPIRITUAL PERFECTION. Whenever you come to a SEVEN in the Word of God read the meaning and the message is plain.
SEVEN is found 735 times in the Bible. SEVENFOLD is mentioned 6 times and SEVENTH is found 119 times.
The SEVENTH time Noah’s name occurs is where it is said,
“Noah was a just man, and PERFECT in his generations.” (Genesis 6:9)
In the second chapter of Daniel, Nebuchadnezzar had a dream of a great image whose head was of gold, arms and breasts of silver, his belly and things of brass, legs of iron, and feet of iron and clay. (Daniel 2:31-33) Daniel told him that he was the head of gold (vs 37-38) In the next chapter Nebuchadnezzar made an image of gold to be worshipped. At that time he called together SEVEN kinds of officials to the dedication of the image: (1) princes, (2) governors, (3) captains, (4) judges, (5) treasurers (6) counselors, (7) sheriffs. The penalty for refusing to worship that image was death by being cast into the burning fiery furnace. THREE Hebrew children refused to worship the image and were cast into that furnace of death, and brought forth alive, thus picturing the resurrection, signified by the number THREE That furnace was heated SEVEN times hotter than it had ever been. Here is a COMPLETE DELIVERANCE FOR GOD’S PEOPLE from the power of death. (Daniel 3:1-27) When those THREE Hebrew children came out of that furnace of fire, or death, there was not a trace of fire upon their bodies or their clothing. When Christ brings His people out of death there will not be a trace of death left on them. The will be COMPLETELY delivered from its power.

And now, I will go to a corner and stop breathing....
No Michael did not ask.
Interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Honestly I misunderstood something and I thought you know the Bible well, and that's why I asked for your help in this question.
I wished to find some connection with the Bible and the 777 because I hoped Michael took it from there. (Although I have never heard it either that it would be in the Bible...)
As I said "What really bugs me is that 777 is also the number which was used by the crazy Aleister Crowley. And scientology is based on his stupid teachings. And LMP is a scientologist..."
<!-- m -->http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/777_and_Ot ... er_Crowley<!-- m -->
Of course, 777 was used in the Torture video of The Jacksons too, way before LMP, but who knows whose idea was to use it there. (Jeff Stein directed the music video, and Al Kirschman was the scenic designer for the video.) Michael didn't even appear in the video.
Well, I guess I will wait for Michael to tell why he likes this number, and give up trying to find out.

Eye of God pictured in space European astronomers have taken a stunning photo of a Big Brother-style cosmic eye, nicknamed the Eye of God, staring down from space.
The bright blue pupil and the white of the eye are fringed by flesh-coloured eyelids - but this eye is so big that it light takes two and a half years to cross from one side to the other.
The object is actually a shell of gas and dust that has been blown off by a faint central star. Our own solar system will meet a similar fate five billion years in the future.
It lies around 700 light-years away in the constellation of Aquarius, and can be dimly seen in small backyard telescopes by amateur astronomers who call it the Helix nebula. It covers an area of sky around a quarter the size of the full moon.
The photo was taken with a giant telescope at the European Southern Observatory, high on a mountaintop at La Silla in Chile. It is so detailed that a close-up reveals distant galaxies within the central eyeball.
Thank you for posting. This fits nicely with the Age of Aquarius theory - Here is an extract from a post I wrote a couple of weeks ago in the "Age of Aquarius" thread:

With L.O.V.E
The Mayans, who have been saving time on Earth for 5000 years, they created codices or cosmic calendars like this, to trace the timing of the passage of humanity on a great metamorphosis.
According to the calendar of the long count they use to measure long cycles of time, the year 2012 marks the closure of several cycles of time.
According to the Mayans, the closure of the first cycle is the realization of the Galactic year. Milky way, 225 million Earth years takes it to do a complete rotation in the sky. 2012 also marks the end of:
· A cycle of 26 million Earth years
· A cycle of 78,000 Earth years
· The closure of the Mayan calendar of 26,000 years
According to the prophecy of many indigenous groups, 2012 seems to be the time when the odometer is a turnaround for the whole history of humans, Earth, our Galaxy, and perhaps all creation--the time when life experiences a break that is similar to that of caterpillars into butterflies.
The Mayans believed that human evolution is deployed as a result of these long cycles of time. His mystery plays with myths, spiritual rites and practiced the repetition of the cosmic drama created by the alignment of the Sun the Earth with the Galactic Center in 2012.
They described this alignment as a kind of cosmic exchange between father Sun and the grand mother of the Galactic Center to sent to all creation to birth a new reality. Pregnancy, birth and the embryonic origin were central concepts in their tradition.
The Mayan Tzolkin, a Mayan calendar type is based on the 260-day human gestation term. It is a harmonious representation of the Mayan calendar 26, 000 years. 260 x 100 = 26,000. It seems the Maya used the Tzolkin calendar to track both the evolution of an individual human being and the Mayan calendar 26, 000-years as a way to monitor the evolution of the human species.
From the maya, perspective in time preceding December 21, 2012, the Earth is making its shift toward the christic consciousness and transforming humanity into beings Crísticos. This process of transformation of humans, which can be bought to the transformation of a caterpillar in monarch, butterfly is known as the Ascension. The climbing term is typically used to describe the human transformation. Jose Arguelles also wrote about this from a planetary perspective in his book, Earth in ascent (Earth Ascending).
From an astrological point of view, we are in transit from the age of PISCES to the age of Aquarius. When we look in one direction, we collapse Piscianas, structures based on competitiveness and shortages. And when we see the other side, we see sprout new structures of Aquarius, based on the principles of partnership and sharing resources. This transition may cause confusion and anxiety, but nevertheless represents a single window to evolve.
Scientific information about the change the scientists who are studying the evolution from a heavenly perspective believe that there are four types of celestial events and cosmic forces that could be activating the change:
The Galactic · cycles · Solar cycles Sale · events Supernovae
There is a tremendous amount of evidence in these four areas that indicate that we are quite steep in great change of the ages. So let us look first: Galactic cycles. They are created by our Galaxy rotation of evenly-spaced energy areas that are not visible to the naked eye.
Takes approximately 26 million years pass through one of these areas and appears to us we are now moving towards one that is highly loaded. That we are moving through this accelerated energy means that it is changing our DNA, our conscience and activating our metamorphosis.
Our Galaxy, the milky way is about 100,000 years light diameter, this 30,000 years of light, and belongs to a group of three large and 30 + smaller galaxies, and is the second largest of the Andromeda Galaxy. Our solar system is almost out, on the edge of the spiral arm of Orion.
The Hubble telescope, launched by NASA in late 1995, has been opening stars us, revealing a secret once world of celestial activities and events. Many of these images really go beyond amazing - seems a window into the world of creation and evolution. Here are some of them.
This image, known as the Hourglass nebula has generated much interest.
The circle of the crop (crop circle), below, appeared in England during the month of June 2005. Some refer to him as God's eye that sees it. A specialist of the eye, who considered the top image, indicated that it is structured as a human eye.

The whole Word of God is founded upon the number SEVEN. It stands for the SEVENTH day of the Creation Week, and speaks of the Millennial Rest day. It denotes COMPLETENESS or PERFECTION.
In Leviticus 23:15-16, the number SEVEN and the Sabbath, which was the SEVENTH day, is connected with the word COMPLETE. The word COMPLETE follows after the words “SEVEN SABBATH” (Seventh day). The day following the SEVENTH sabbath there was something NEW that took place.
The word FINISHED is also connected with the number SEVEN. In Revelation 10:7 we read,
“In the days of the voice of the SEVENTH angel, when he shall begin to sound the mystery of God should be FINISHED.”
“It is DONE” is another expression found in connection with the number Seven.
“And the SEVENTH angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne saying, It is DONE.” (Revelation 16:17)
The word CREATED is used SEVEN times in connection with God’s creative work. (Genesis 1:1; Genesis 1:21; 1:27 (three times); 2:3; and 2:4). God created all things in the beginning and then took six days of restoring His creation and then rested on the SEVENTH day. (Genesis 2:1-3). He appointed SEVEN days for the week, and most, if not all advanced nations reckon time in that way: SEVEN days to the week. Few ever stop to think of why there are SEVEN days in a week. Do atheists and infidels give God and the Bible credit for it?
There are SEVEN notes in the musical scale. All other pitches are only variations of these. When the musician uses the eighth note he goes back to “do” and starts over. Man named the notes but God fixed the sounds, even as God fixed the days of the week, and man named them.
Noah took the clean beasts into the ark by SEVENS (Genesis 7:2) SEVEN days after Noah went into the ark the flood came. (Genesis 7:-10) Peter tells about the long-suffering of God waiting in the days of Noah. (I Peter 3:21) Those SEVEN days COMPLETED God’s time of waiting.
Before Aaron and his sons entered their priestly work they were consecrated SEVEN days. (Leviticus 8:31-36) Here is a picture of a life COMPLETELY or WHOLLY consecrated or dedicated to the Lord for service.
On the day of atonement the high priest sprinkled the blood upon the mercy seat SEVEN times. (Leviticus 16:14) This is a picture of the COMPLETENESS of the redemptive work of Christ.

There are SEVEN Dispensations -- Innocence, Conscience, Government, Patriarchal, Law, Grace, and Milleniah (sic) Age.
SEVEN times the Book of Life is mentioned in the Bible. The Book of Revelation is a Book of SEVENS. We have SEVEN churches, SEVEN seals, SEVEN Trumpets, SEVEN Personages, SEVEN vails (sic), SEVEN dooms, SEVEN new things. SEVEN SEVENS make up this Book . It is the COMPLETENESS of all things.
Jesus said to “forgive SEVENTY times SEVEN“ In other words, He is saying, “Keep on forgiving until you are complete.” Even the duration of Israel’s great punishments was based upon this law of SEVENS. Their captivity in Babylon was for SEVENTY years, ten periods of SEVENS. (Jeremiah 25:11-12; Daniel l9:2)
Life operates in a cycle of SEVENS. Changes take place in the body every SEVEN years. There are SEVEN bones in the neck, SEVEN bones in the face, SEVEN bones in the ankle, and SEVEN holes in the head. Most births are multiple of SEVENS. The hen sits three weeks (21 days); the pigeon two weeks (14 days); after having laid eggs for two weeks. Of 129 species of Mammalia (sic) the majority have a period from conception to birth of an exact number of weeks, a multiple of SEVEN.
Human physiology is constructed on a law of SEVENS. Children are born to mothers in a certain number of weeks usually 280 days, a multiple of SEVENS. Fevers and intermittent attacks of gout, ague, and similar complaints have a period of operation of SEVEN, FOURTEEN or TWENTY-ONE days knows as critical days.
All departments of nature are marked all over with mathematics. In this realm practically everything is in SEVENS. Notice next time the shape of frost when it crystallizes on the window. Notice the small snow flakes. It is wonderful how God formed everything in a pattern of SEVENS.
It would be well for the reader to always remember the SEVEN means COMPLETENESS or SPIRITUAL PERFECTION. Whenever you come to a SEVEN in the Word of God read the meaning and the message is plain.
SEVEN is found 735 times in the Bible. SEVENFOLD is mentioned 6 times and SEVENTH is found 119 times.
The SEVENTH time Noah’s name occurs is where it is said,
“Noah was a just man, and PERFECT in his generations.” (Genesis 6:9)
In the second chapter of Daniel, Nebuchadnezzar had a dream of a great image whose head was of gold, arms and breasts of silver, his belly and things of brass, legs of iron, and feet of iron and clay. (Daniel 2:31-33) Daniel told him that he was the head of gold (vs 37-38) In the next chapter Nebuchadnezzar made an image of gold to be worshipped. At that time he called together SEVEN kinds of officials to the dedication of the image: (1) princes, (2) governors, (3) captains, (4) judges, (5) treasurers (6) counselors, (7) sheriffs. The penalty for refusing to worship that image was death by being cast into the burning fiery furnace. THREE Hebrew children refused to worship the image and were cast into that furnace of death, and brought forth alive, thus picturing the resurrection, signified by the number THREE That furnace was heated SEVEN times hotter than it had ever been. Here is a COMPLETE DELIVERANCE FOR GOD’S PEOPLE from the power of death. (Daniel 3:1-27) When those THREE Hebrew children came out of that furnace of fire, or death, there was not a trace of fire upon their bodies or their clothing. When Christ brings His people out of death there will not be a trace of death left on them. The will be COMPLETELY delivered from its power.
