The pastor at my church believes something will happen because 7 means "completion of time". He didn't say anything specific, but believe something could happen.
what do you think?
=D

Lots of things will happen, as they do everyday.

Hummm - I never heard that "7" means the completion of time. Actually, "something" could happen any day (or night) - Jesus said no one knows the time or the hour - so I'm pretty sure your pastor doesn't know, just, maybe has a feeling. The only thing that I believe will happen is that I will go to work, come home, and wake up the next morning to new reports of people trying to kill each other, disrupt other people's lives. and on and on. Usually over money, land, philosophy and power.
Although it may be interesting to speculate - I think we are much better off living for God as though today was our last - not as though 7/7/07 was going to be our last. When we live only for "tomorrow" we entirely miss the beauty (and the point) of living today.
Peace.

Sarcastic answer: Yes, I am going to an outdoor folk festival that day.
Serious answer: No. If you're talking about the apocalypse, the Bible says, "But of that day or hour, no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." (Mark 13:32) I don't think God would pick such an obvious date. People said that same thing about New Year's Eve Y2K, 6/6/06, and many other dates, and nothing happened. I'm no prophet, but I predict everyone will be laughing at your pastor on 7/8/07.

Dear FeDude,
It is true that in the Bible the number 7 is the number of completion. However, i would hope that your Bible would have studied the Bible enough to also know that nobody knows the hour or day of Christ's return so to always be ready.
We know that Y2k has passed and there are always doomsday prophets- the Bible actually warns about that.
i wouldn't read more in to it- if your Pastor didn't specifically predict something- i'd actually think that's a good thing. Many cults in the past have predicted specific dates of Christ's return or the end of the world, etc., and they have been found to be false prophets.
A biblical preacher- will tell you that looking at the times and the seasons, that Christ can return at any time and we should live our lives in such a way to be ready for Christ's return.
Kindly,
Nickster

First of all - there are at least 4 different calendars in use over the world. There's more but I don't know the exact amount.
The one we use is called the Gregorian calendar. It consists out of 365 days and a leap year every 4 years of 366 days, to keep the seasons consistent.
It was introduced in october 1582, turning the Julian thursday october 4th into the now gregorian friday october 15th (they didn't change days, thursday was still thursday and friday still friday). Losing 10 days just like that.
The Julian calendar before that, was quite faulty - hence the change. That one was introduced by Julius Caesar (yes, a roman, no less!)
Anyway, saving you the whole theory behind it - I ask you how could a man-made calendar, which is not even the only one in use in the world, indicate a supernatural event?

Well... 7/7/7 was 2000 years ago. It is really 7/7/2007... not even a round number...
Your pastor is what is called a "Numerologist" that is a form of "heresy".
But to suggest that "Something" is going to happen is undeniably true. Something is going to happen. Where a plane will crash or a girl will fall down a well or a nice guy will be killed by evil guys in Iraq or someone will sell crack to a 12 year old. SOMETHING will happen... and your pastor will be an amazing prophet, like Daniel and Elisha and John!

I know several couples who are going up to Vegas from 7/7/07 through 7/11/07.
I think the same thing will happen on 7/7/07 that happened on 6/6/06, 5/5/05, 4/4/04......and at midnight on 1/1/00.

Your pastor must have forgotten that the bible was written by Jews. It is the year 5768 on the Jewish calendar, which means we have 2009 years to go before your pastor's prediction of the completion of time could happen.
I would like to make predictions like that and get paid for it. Do you think you could encourage enough people in your congregation to give me 10% of their incomes if I promise to tell them that something unspecific will be happening in a couple of weeks?

Something happens everyday that completes time with everyone. Your Pastor is just doing he's job and trying to keep you with his words in mind. On 6-6-06 they also said something would happen because it was the day, month and year of satin. But the truth is that too many of us are trying to Predict the future when in reality our Lord is the only one who decides.

no offense to you but, this is the most ridiculous question i've seen in a while. what happened on 7/7/1907? 7/7/1807? ..............i think you're pastor sounds mighty superstitious.
and where in the world did your pastor come up with 7 meaning the completion of time?
please don't worry about this if you are at all. he's probably the type of guy who had a nuclear shelter put in his backyard for Y2K.
