 Lastly, in the placement of the number structure of the amour, we have the number seven, but the negative side of number seven discloses sinful man and what he considers his perfection. The spear and shield are man’s ultimate armors of spiritual and physical perfection. The spear for aggression and war, and the shield for defense against all enemies. However, notice man’s defense (the shield) was carried by another. As we should all realize by now in our military age that relying on others to bear and to aid in building our shield of defense is not a wise decision. And the staff of his spear was like a weaver’s beam; and his spear’s head weighed six hundred shekels of iron: and one bearing a shield went before him. (1st Samuel 17:7) Through the spiritual numbers of 1 – 7 – 7 we have the GODHEAD (1) and a double seven, witnessing of the dual perfection of God in God the Father, and God the Son through the witness (2) of the Spirit of God. THAT IS GOD’S PERFECTION even in the smallest detail. But where is the negative in this number? The negative is what man places his perfection on and in. Man places his survival not only on his physical strength, but also on his ability to carry the heavy load of being the HEAD of power, the HEAD over ALL of mankind. (Adam as the first Federal Head of the earth, had no trouble throwing away this God given position, however, men and women battle against each other and for each other in their attempt to be the LAST FEDERAL HEAD of all the earth. Nimrod was the first person recorded in the new world as the head of a united federation of a One World Government.) Man is BLIND to God’s PERFECTION, and therefore, he is also blind that within himself is NO GOOD THING. As the positive number seven represents the perfection of God in ALL things, so the negative number seven represents man’s blindness to his sinful condition.
