- It is precious!

- It is special!

completion or perfection

In biblical numerology, 7 symbolizes completion or perfection. It is said that God created the world in 6 days and rested on the 7th. Additionally, there are seven churches in the Book of Revelation, seven seals, seven trumpets, and seven bowls.

In the Bible, the number twenty-four takes its meaning from the number twelve. As we know, the number twelve is a perfect number representing God's power and authority. The number twenty-four, therefore, is an even stronger demonstration of God's strength.
