16 June 1943, 7 crew members of "Old 666" a B-17 earned the Distinguished Service Cross and two crew members were awarded the Medal of Honor during a single mission making it the most highly decorated bomber crew of WWII.

I doubt this is what your 7666 refers to, but it's an extraordinary story and I saw a chance to share it with you.

You had a Revelation that you have a relative named Ruth?

Idealism

The idealist interpretation of the beast from the earth is that it represents religious, cultural and economic powers within society which work to compel people to give their allegiance to the state or governmental powers. This was first expressed in the imperial cult of Rome, but finds expression at all times of history. In his commentary, Michael Wilcock says "Religion, indeed is too narrow an identification of the second beast. He is, in modern parlance, the ideology-whether religious, philosophical, or political-which 'gives breath to' any human social structure organized independently of God."

The idealist perspective on the number of the beast rejects gematria, envisioning the number not as a code to be broken, but a symbol to be understood. Because there are so many names that can come to 666 and that most systems require converting names to other languages or adding titles when convenient, it has been impossible to come to a consensus. Given that numbers are used figuratively throughout the book of Revelation, idealists interpret this number figuratively as well. The common suggestion is that because seven is a number of completeness and is associated with the divine, that six is incomplete and the three sixes mean completely incomplete.
 

Furthermore….

The idealist interpretation in which the beast finds expression in the socio-cultural, economic and political arena of all human activities since the existence of man best describes the scriptural perspective of the beast. This position was fully annunciated by Chike Udolisa is his book. In this perspective, the image of the four kingdoms that were to rule the world as shown to Nebuchadnezzar were equated to the four beasts revealed to Daniel, and to the seven-headed beast revealed to John. The records of Revelation 17:2-3 and Revelation 13:1 show this beast to represent the kings of the earth. Furthermore, the revelation in Daniel 7 of four beasts comprising a lion, bear and leopard also correlates with the seven headed beast as shown to John in Revelation 13:2 having the same features of the lion, bear and leopard. Thus the beast represents the kingdoms that will bear rule over the world from Adam until the second coming of Christ. While in the spirit, this beast is seen as a personality as inRevelation 19:20, in the physical he is represented at different ages throughout the period of human existence as different kingdoms. The import of this interpretation is that as the Whore of Babylon is seen to be riding this beast, the beast is the seat of operation of the whore from where she is expressed, and by whom her dominion is exercised. This corresponds to Revelation 13 where the power exercised by this beast was completely that of the dragon. This brings to light the scriptural fact that the governments of the nations are puppets in the hands of this beast, consistent with the truth that the whole world system is under the dragon, the god of this world.


St. Augustine of Hippo takes a more idealist interpretation when he writes:

And what this beast is, though it requires a more careful investigation, yet it is not inconsistent with the true faith to understand it of the ungodly city itself, and the community of unbelievers set in opposition to the faithful people and the city of God.

For to this beast belong not only the avowed enemies of the name of Christ and His most glorious city, but also the tares which are to be gathered out of His kingdom, the Church, in the end of the world.

The Book of Revelations references two beasts, one coming from the sea and one from earth. Both beasts are defeated by Christ and thrown into a lake of fire.

7 churches in Asia. 7 spirits before God's throne.
7 golden candlesticks. 7 stars. 7 lamps of fire.
7 spirits of God. Four beasts each had 6 wings.
Book sealed with 7 seals. Lamb having 7 horns and 7 eyes. 7 angels with 7 trumpets. 7 thunders uttered their voices. Great red dragon, having 7 heads and ten horns, and 7 crowns upon his heads.
To receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads, the mark of the beast 666. 7 heads and 7 mountains. 7 kings. 12 precious stones. 12 gates, 12 pearls. Great city with 12 gates, 12 angels. 12 foundations. 3 gates, east, west, north, and south. 7 vials with 7 plagues.

And my post was my 666th....

6 angels poured out 6 vials of wrath.

Chapter 14, 6 angels had 6 messages.

They should not worship 6 named idols.

Lamb opened 6 seals of the book. 7th seal was the seal of the living God.

Ah-HA!!!!

As I was going to St. Ives,
I met a man with seven wives,
Each wife had six sacks,
Each sack had six cats,
Each cat had six kits:
Kits, cats, sacks, and wives,

Burma Shave.

Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive: power, riches, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and blessing. 7 things.

7,000 is a reference to those killed by the great earthquake that collapses of part of Jerusalem in Revelation 11:13, which states: "And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven."

And 666 is a reference to The Beast in Revelation 13:18, which states: "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six [666]"

Part 1, Jesus did 7 signs and wonders in John

Part 2, three of those were John 2:6 turned water into wine in six stone jars, John 4:6 at the sixth hour offered the woman at the well living water, John 12:1 six days before the Passover Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead.


Thanks for the opportunity for such a great gift.
