SEVEN. Denotes spiritual perfection. It is the number or hall-mark of the Holy Spirit's work. He is the Author of God's Word, and seven is stamped on it as the water-mark is seen in the manufacture of paper. He is the Author and Giver of life; and seven is the number which regulates every period of Incubation and Gestation, in insects, birds, animals, and man.
TEN. Denotes Ordinal perfection. Another new first; after the ninth digit, when numeration commences anew.
Other numbers follow the laws which govern the smaller numbers, as being their factors, sums, products or multiples:
| I guess the year 70 symoblizes spiritual and ordinal perfection.
