Many Christian denominations consider seven to be a holy number because the Biblical book of Genesis states God rested on the seventh day, and man was created on the sixth day, therefore 777 often is thought to be the antithesis of 666. One social media user assigned an interesting "777" interpretation to Republican nominee Donald Trump's first potential day of office, due to his birthday.

Trump was born on June 14, 1946, in Queens City, NY. Moving seventy years from that date goes to June 14, 2016. Moving forward another seven months goes to Jan. 14, 2017, and moving forward another seven days leads to Jan. 21, 2017, according to Charisma News. If Trump wins the election, Jan. 21 will be his first full day in office.

Realistically, Trump would be inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2017, but he would only be president for part of that day, points out Charisma News.

This all means Trump would be 70 years, seven months and seven days old on his first full day as president of the United States, should he succeed in his bid for the position; this also would be happening during year 5777 on the Hebrew calendar.

Because God rested on the seventh day, that is the reason for the observance of the Hebrew Sabbath on the last day of the week. The seventh day of the week is indicated on the Hebrew Lunar calendar containing 13 months of four weeks each. According to the American publication, the Orthodox Study Bible, 777 represents the threefold perfection of the Trinity.

Trump said he attended the First Presbyterian Church in the Jamaica neighborhood in Queens as a child and that he went to Sunday school and had his confirmation at that church, although he's been accused of not being active in church or attending as an adult.
