ETHANIM¶

Cross-reference topic showing the entire seventh-month festival sequence: Trumpets (1st) -> Atonement (10th) -> Tabernacles (15th-22nd). This structural relationship is the backbone of the study.

SEVEN (symbolic use)¶

From the SEVEN topic in Nave's: "Seven months: Holy convocations in the seventh month LEV 23:24-44; NUM 29; EZK 45:25" and "Seven angels with seven trumpets REV 8:2" -- connecting the liturgical sevens with the apocalyptic sevens.
