Notes About The Poem

Seven

Behold…
       it came to pass God created the Earth
and on the seventh day did rest ~ Genesis

Two thousand years from Adam to the flood
  in the time of Noah…
and two thousand more to the Son of God
  in the time of Jesus…
and two thousand again to this present day
  unto the end times…

Now I wait the thousand year reign of Christ
  on the seventh day of his return...
I wait the Son of Man here on Earth to rule
  from his kingdom in Jerusalem.

I wait the seven seals and seven judgements
  till I hearken unto the seventh trumpet,
till the seven signs and seventh final plague
  blessed with the seven crowns of God!

  2+2+2+1 = 7 days = 7 thousand years!


               Written: August 2025


In the Bible, the number seven is frequently 
used to symbolize completeness, perfection,
                  and divine order.

Charles Messina August 22, 2025 at 8:07 AM I knew there was a reason why each of my names has seven letters- Charles Francis Messina! Nice write, Keith.

Rob Carmack August 22, 2025 at 9:04 AM Change your middle name to Addison and you will be a triple seven!

Laura Leiser August 17, 2025 at 7:27 PM Amen, brother! Seven is my favorite, blessed number. Til He returns, glory to God! Keith D Trestrail August 17, 2025 at 8:08 PM Hi Laura, make sure your lamps are trimmed.

sara Etgen-Baker August 15, 2025 at 5:15 PM captivating poem on a couple of levels. Seven is my favorite number for a host of reasons. Well penned, Keith! enjoy your weekend, Sara Keith D Trestrail August 15, 2025 at 5:50 PM Thanks Sara, just something I’ve been thinking about lately.

Rob Carmack August 15, 2025 at 1:42 PM The Jews are God's chosen people. All I need to know about someone is how they respond to Israel, or how they respond to other's position on Israel. This Isaac and Ishmael family feud will only be settled by Jesus Christ. Keith D Trestrail August 15, 2025 at 4:08 PM That’s so true. So many Christians don’t know their bible teachings and so many worship the power and wisdom and glory of man over God’s.
