Why number seven is considered auspicious on ancienr world?
Answers
Way before technology developed, the ancient people believed that God was the creator of everything and since there was the discovery of 7 planets, it was taken for granted that 7 was the number of God.
In the Bible, the number 7 has been believed to be a number of spiritual perfection and so, it appears 287 times in the Bible and it stamped on all works of God. The Angels have been linked with the number 7 and according to Genesis, God rested on the seventh day after creating the world. In the Book of Genesis, the word 'created' has been used 7 times.
So, the number 7 became a lucky and auspicious number.
New discoveries and inventions also started having 7 elements. Like the 7 colours in a rainbow, 7 days in a week, 7 chakras in the human body, 7 continents in the world, 7 major seas in the world, etc.
So, it was obvious that there would be the 7 wonders of the World.
