Q: What’s the deal with 7 Pillars/ Principles here and there? Are these all spelled out in the Bible somewhere? (OK, the question wasn’t really worded exactly that way. This is a summary of questions I’ve been asked, and that have been asked on our e-group for home ed through Biblical Principles.)
A: About 15 years or so ago, I studied out “Wisdom.” We know that Jesus Himself IS Wisdom – all true wisdom is embodied in Him. Prov. 9:1 says “Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars.” Whether the 7 is just symbolic, saying that in Jesus is all perfection and completeness of wisdom, I don’t know.
But I do know in my searches for wisdom in many various areas, many times I find 7’s. Whether I’m not digging far enough and I would find more if I pushed on through, I don’t know. I just know that I find 7 Pillars in many places. Just as I also find Tri-Unities (3’s) in many places. There were so many natural ones that I saw, that I began looking for them, as I do 7 Pillars.
IOW, I have not found in Scripture clearly laid out any definitive “THE Seven Pillars” are. I have found that when I really dig in a subject/ topic/ many things in Life, I do come up with 7 Pillars – Biblical truths which support the topic.
