The number six often symbolizes incompleteness or human effort in biblical numerology, suggesting that human efforts alone are insufficient without divine intervention. The context of Job involves intense suffering and testing, and this promise of rescue aligns with God's sovereignty and faithfulness. The idea of God rescuing from calamities is echoed in other scriptures, such as <a href="/psalms/34-19.htm">Psalm 34:19</a>, which states, "Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all." This reflects a consistent biblical theme of God as a deliverer.<p><b>no harm will touch you in seven.</b><br>The number seven in the Bible often represents completeness or perfection, indicating that God's protection is thorough and complete. This phrase suggests that even when trials seem to reach their fullness, God's protection remains steadfast. The use of "seven" can also be seen as a literary device to emphasize the totality of God's care. This assurance of divine protection is reminiscent of <a href="/psalms/91-10.htm">Psalm 91:10</a>, "no evil shall be allowed to befall you, no plague come near your tent." It also foreshadows the ultimate protection and deliverance found in Jesus Christ, who provides eternal security for believers.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/job.htm">Job</a></b><br>A man of great faith and patience, who endured immense suffering and loss.
