If you are talking about in reference to religious esoteric wisdom, 7 were supposed to represent the numeration of levels of being within ones inner cosmology, but more so completion was 7. The regarded that matter and it's patterns as a projection of mind, mind's interpretation mathematically which produced a concrete appearance that is obviously much patterned.
Anyways, to sum it up 7 was seen as the condition of perfection, to go back to the inner cosmology thing, 7 things together meant wholeness. Like 7 colors of a prism, or and octave of a scale, which is really 7 notes since the First and the last DO is just a repeat of one another or even 7 Charka’s, 7 days, 7 churches, 7 kingdoms, etc etc etc. 7 together meant wholeness, completion.

The number 7 comes from Revelations. When John did Greetings to the seven churches. The seven churches are in Asia. Which Rev. Chapter 1 verse 4 states. John to the seven churches which are in Asia; Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his thorne. You will have to read on with verse 5 -20. This is what I means to me. Also there 7 horses also.

It means nothing. But it was considered a sacred number by the ancients since there are seven heavenly bodies that move independent of the fixed stars in the sky: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. People considered them gods.

In Religion. . . . .
* In Judaism:
o A highly symbolic number in the Torah, alluding to the infusion of spirituality and Godliness into the Creation. For example:
1. God rested on and sanctified the 7th day (Shabbat)
2. A seven-day purification period is required for one who has become tamei to become tahor
3. The Shemittah (Sabbatical) year arrives every 7th year
4. The Jubilee (Yovel) year comes after 7 times 7 years
5. The Counting of the Omer leading up to the Giving of the Torah is expressed as "7 times 7 weeks"
o The weekly Torah portion is divided into seven aliyahs, and seven men or boys over the age of 13 are called up for the reading of these aliyahs during Shabbat morning services
o Seven blessings are recited under the chuppah during a Jewish wedding ceremony
o David was the seventh son of Jesse
o A Jewish bride and groom are feted with seven days of festive meals after their wedding, known as Sheva Berachot ("Seven Blessings")
o The number of Ushpizzin (also known as the "Seven Shepherds") who visit the sukkah during the holiday of Sukkot: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, and David
o The number of nations God told the Israelites they would displace when they entered the land of Israel (Deut. 7:1): the Hittite, the Girgashite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite
o In Breslov tradition, the seven orifices of the face (2 eyes, 2 nostrils, 2 ears, and the mouth) are called "The Seven Candles"
* In Islam:
o The number of ayat in surat al-Fatiha
o The number of heavens in Islamic tradition
o The number of Earths in Islamic tradition
o The numbers 7, 70, 70,000, etc. are used in Islamic traditions to denote an infinite or high number. In Arabic, 70, 70,000, etc. is used to mean infinite. This is because 1 is the smallest number, 2 is just after 1, 5 and 10 are exact, 4 and 6 are just before and after 5, and 9 is just before 10. This leaves 3, 7, and 8. 8 is closer to the end although it is larger. 8 is also an even number, so divisible by 2. Between 3 and 7, 3 is smaller so 7 is chosen to represent infinite.
* In Christianity:
o The number of churches of Asia to which the Book of Revelation is addressed
o The number of the Seven Deadly Sins: Lust, Gluttony, Avarice, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, and Pride.
o The number of the Seven Virtues: Chastity, Moderation, Liberality, Charity, Meekness, Zeal and Humility, corresponding to the seven deadly sins.
o The seven terraces of Mount Purgatory (one per deadly sin)
o The number of sacraments in the Roman Catholic faith
o The number of heads of the beast of the Book of Revelation, and of some other monsters, like the hydra and the number of seals.
o In the New Testament, the Gospel of Matthew 18:21, Jesus says to Peter to forgive seventy times seven people. [1]
o The number of times Cain will be avenged by God if he is murdered. Gen 4:15
o In the Bible, the number seven is the perfect number, six is imperfect.
* Others:
o The number of Archangels according to some systems. Seven Archangels
o The minor symbol number of yang from the Taoist yin-yang
o The number of palms in an Egyptian Sacred Cubit
o The number of ranks in Mithraism
o The number seven is of particular significance within Cherokee cosmology
