"A good theory must be simple74 and have beauty74." - Albert Einstein
"Selah" is found 74 times in the Bible, 71x in Psalms and 3x in Habakkuk. It is a musical direction that probably meant for there to be an instrumental interlude between lyrics. This works well for when "selah" appears in David's songs, but this literal musical definition doesn't make much sense in the examples of it in Habakkuk. (See Wikipedia's definition of 'selah'.) 'Selah' occuring 74 times in the Bible is no 'coincidence' - it's a very important code!
The combination of 7 & 4 is the pinnacle74 of'sacred geometry' and can be Biblically traced back to Genesis 7:4, "For in 7 days, it will rain for 40 days and nights". (This is the Bible's first usage of the recurring theme of #40.) The 4th Commandment: "Keep the 7th day holy". An earthquake occured at Jericho when 7 priests with 7 horns marched around 7 times for 7 days. Moses did the #40 7x.
The Hebrew Bible was written using 'gematria' (Greek for 'geometry'): an alphanumeric code that provides added symbolic meaning and connection between words with the same gematric sum. The Greek New Testament was also written with the same alphanumeric code called isopsephy. (The Arabic Qur'an was written using hisab al-jummal, again, the same alphanumeric code.) Simple(6,74) English(7,74) Gematria(8,74) & GOD=7_4 puts a strong emphasis on Jesus=74 (J10+E5+S19+U21+S19), Jewish=74, menorah=74, Messiah=74, Cross=74, preacher=74, Gospel74 according74 to St.74, etc.
Selah is naturally connect74ed to composer(74), melody(74), and songs(74). Pretty cool, huh?
