Psalm 100
There are 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet.
Each letter is also a number.
Numbers in the Bible have meaning,
but not to be confused with the practice of numerology.
Psalm 100
is an example of literary artistry
100 is for the Children of Promise.
That is, the Jewish people,
and everyone else who is adopted through Jesus (Yeshua)
into the family of God.
The Children of Promise are given:
instructions to do 7 things:
(1) SHOUT JOYFULLY to the Lord all the earth
(2) SERVE the lord with gladness
(3) COME before Him with joyful singing
(4) KNOW that the Lord Himself is God
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;
We are his people and the sheep of His pasture.
(5) ENTER His gates with thanksgiving
And His courts with praise.
(6) GIVE THANKS to Him,
(7) BLESS HIS NAME.
3 reasons to do them:
(1) For the Lord is good
(2) His lovingkindness is everlasting
(3) And His faithfulness to all generations.
7 stands for Perfect, Complete.
3 is Fullness. Like fullness of time. The Trinity is the fullness of God.
7 + 3 = 10.
10 is for Divine Order.
When the Children of Promise follow seven instructions in divine order,
it brings about fullness in their lives with God.
(Taken from a teaching by Richard Siegal, Remnant of Israel)
There are so many wonderful examples of literary genius in the Bible. One is Proverbs 31: 10-31, which is written as an acrostic poem in Hebrew, each of the 22 verses beginning with a successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Beautiful, complex, and rich with meaning.

Psalm 100 is my favorite Psalms, and the first one I ever learned.
