Why does the Calendar Utilize the Heptad[Seven] Numeral System?
|
In mathematics, it is common to use a binary system or base-2 numeral system, which represents numeral values using two different symbols; typically 0(zero) and 1(one).
And a quinary system or base-5 numeral system is used with five numbers; from 0 to 4.
A possible theory of a quinary system is because of five fingers on either hand.
It seems to be easy to use our fingers.
A decimal system refers to base-10 numeral system to perform arithmetic.
Moreover it is world-wide common to use the decimal currency system, where each unit of the currency is divided into 10 and 100 and sub-units.

Now, let’s think about the calendar.
Almost every day we look at it to check out the schedule or the date.
Usually it is thought to be originated in the age of Rome, however why is it made up of the heptad numeral system instead of the decimal (base-10) or quinary (base-5)?
The answer is that it was derived from the Bible; the history of the creation in Genesis.
In those days the decimal numeral system was widely used and even Rome had the distinctive numbers such as Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ, Ⅴ, Ⅵ, Ⅶ, Ⅷ, Ⅸ and Ⅹ.
Is it easy to apply the heptad system when they established the calendar? Definitely not!
If it had been used with the decimal numeral system, people would have felt more comfortable to calculate the date on the calendar. Only the heptad (seven) numeral system was used in the Bible when God created all things.
As it is written in Scriptures, God’s will is different from us and His thought is higher than us.
When the heavens and the earth were completed up to sixth day, God rested from all His work and blessed the seventh day and made it holy.
Because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done. (Genesis 2:1~2)
God surely wanted us to know about the Sabbath by appointing it ‘being blessed’ and ‘being holy’ and how much precious the seventh day is.
The seventh day is the memorial day of the Creators; Elohim God, Who show His power and splendor.
Therefore as far as we keep the Sabbath, remembering it, we receive the right to become children of God as the chosen people; being blessed and being holy!
The World Mission Society Church of God(WMSCOG), believing in Elohim God, are practicing the love of Elohim God and showing favor based on the philanthropy. It has got the reputation for volunteer services, harmonious family and neighborly love. I’d like to strongly recommend you to search Cult Research Center.
No matter what, God’s appointed worship day is the seventh day which is Saturday. Let’s keep the Sabbath holy obeying Elohim God’s command.
Unless we keep the Sabbath, we can never enter the kingdom of heaven.
Let’s all keep the Sabbath and enter the kingdom of heaven.
God’s people should follow God’s word, not human.
So, It is right to service on Sabbath day.
biblical Sabbath is Saturday the seventh day.
i have to go to church on saturday!
So the Sabbathday the seventh day, Saturday. So I go to a church for service.
All creatures are under God’s will, people also have lived in the providence of God. We have to think God’s high thought that he wants to make us keep the blessed Sabbath through the heptap calendar system.
We cannot deny the plan of God for our salvation. God created everything on this earth where we can live to give us a chance of salvation for six days. It’s the great love and sacrifices of God.
I didn’t know that 7-day system is from Bible not Rome. God’s will and God’s thought is really higher than man. How can man change God’s work.
To God, the number 7(seven) means ‘PERFECT(complete)’. He makes known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. “My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.” [Isaiah 46: 11~12]
Surely I believe that God will bring about what He has said and God will do what He has planned.
From the beginning until now, Elohim God have administrated Their purpose and plan to lead us to ‘PERFECT(complete) & eternal rest’; when six thousand years come to an end, the chosen people saved from the drastic disasters will reign with Them for a thousand years; the seventh-thousand-year.
With all our heart, let’s give thanks and honor to Heavenly Parents!
I give thanks and glory to Heavenly Parent who allows us to reign for a thousand years after finishing the history of six thousand years.
