Why does it have to be true? Does the Son of God really "need" anything?
You might consider the number 12, which comes up as the number of Jacob's sons, the tribes of Israel, the number of apostles, and in Revelation as 12 x 12,000.
Moses dealt with leaders of the 12 tribes in the desert. Jesus dealt with the top 12 disciples. There were other disciples but not as important.
Today we have 12 hours in day time, and 12 at night, at least on the spring and fall equinox. The spring equinox is related to calculating the Passover, as well as the Christian Easter.
There's 12 months in a year. Although the Jewish and Bible years also have leap months every 3 years.
There's 12 signs in the zodiac. 12 inches in a foot. There may be some connection between British measurement scales and Biblical ones.
The tribe of Dan gets excluded from the Revelation 12 tribes, and replaced, much like Judas got removed and replaced as one of the 12 disciples.
Numerology appears superstitious and anti-science, yet Physics Nobel Laureate Wolfgang Pauli believed in a meaning for numbers that looks like numerology. He particularly liked the number 137. That's the unlucky 13 combined with the lucky 7. Plato saw numbers as one of the forms, existing in a reality more real than the shadows on a cave that we observe here, as if there is a higher dimension or reality, where the deity is the highest form. Pythagoreans viewed numbers as divine. Some neo-Platonists like Quine adopt a somewhat similar view of numbers existing apart from a human construct of the mind. I'm not sure, but I believe Muslims may see 9 as a divine number appearing in the Q'ran 7 is the sacred number for Jews, with the Sabbath.
Maybe you can get 7 sentences out of this, somehow.

Is this an argumentative essay or were you asked to explain why the apostles were necessary to Christs’ mission? Also, do you mean by 7? Are you looking for purely biblical sources or can they be theological sources?04/02/20
