The number 7 is the number of God’s complete perfection. In the negative number of seven (-7) we have complete blindness of those in the realm of Satan. 

The Seven (7) Major Points of Blindness in Scripture.

• The Blind Judge: The first blindness that we have is Samson. But the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison house. (Judges 16:21)

• The Blind Priest – Eli. Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were dim, that he could not see. (1st Samuel 4:15)

• The Blind Prophet – Ahijah. And Jeroboam’s wife did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. But Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were set by reason of his age. And in the days of Jeroboam we there was a blind prophet. (1st Kings 14:4)

• The Blind King – Zedekiah was also blinded. Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; where he gave judgment upon him. (Jeremiah 52:9) And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: he slew also all the princes of Judah in Riblah. (Jeremiah 52:10) Then he put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in chains, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death. (Jeremiah 52:11)

• The Blind Nation of Israel. Up to this point we are dealing with God’s covenant people, and every position that God have them was broken by them. Judge, priest, prophet, and king. Paul wrote that blindness in part had fallen over Israel showing a nation of blindness.  For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. (Romans 11:25)

• The Blind World of the Gentiles. This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, (Ephesians 4:17) Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: (Ephesians 4:18)

• The Blind Church. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: (Revelation 3:17) However, Israel is not alone because in the book of the Revelation, the last church, Laodicea is also blind. During the tribulation period, the whole world is in blindness until the Son of righteousness appears with healing in His wings. ♦ End of Side Note: Blindness. God reveals man’s failure in every position and realm in life.
