The Sevenfold Bible Canon and the Seven Days of Creation

[Victor]

There are many profound insights here. Note also the "self-similarity" over scale.

Thank you for your comments! And, yes, this study displays a lot of systematic "fractal" theology.

The Tabernacle (House of YHWH) is first designed in Book 2, and then in Division 2 (in 1 Kings) it is greatly amplified in the form of the Temple.

That's absolutely correct. The tabernacle plan is mentioned in Exodus (Book 2), and the temple plan is mentioned in OT History (Division 2; it is referred to in 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 1 Chronicles and 2 Chronicles).

And the Twin Pillars remind me of the "11" - as in Book 11 (1 Kings).

Can you imagine that I only noticed that similarity just a couple of months ago? And now that I see it I find it totally obvious. It is beautiful! And I'm glad you have noticed that too.

Book 11: Jachin and Boaz, the two pillars! Two witnesses.

I suspect that the twin pillars in the entrance of the sanctuary influenced the architecture of many churches' facades.

And 2 is naturally divided into 1 + 1 ==> 11.

I've long felt there is some sort of profound connection between the 2 and the 11 (as in Spoke 2 and Spoke 11) but I've never fleshed it out.

This is a rich area for meditation. Thanks Victor!

The Number 2 is the number of division and 1 and 1 is a natural division really. So we have several links between Books 2 and 11 under this theme. I think there is a whole lot to find, but it comes to my mind the House (Bet) of God as a prominent theme in common between the two books. (See House of God and Giving of the Law) The two witnesses motif is also prominent: two cherubim, for example. Moses is the great name in Book 2, Elijah is the great name in Book 11 and they in turn represent the Law and the Prophets - two witnesses!

The golden calf in Book 2 was a violation of the Second Commandment, and the Israelites fall into the same golden calf sin in Book 11 when they establish two cities where the calf is worshipped.
