"For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love" (Gal.5:6). Circumcision availeth nothing where God's breath in is has shown us the way. We are to worship him in Spirit and truth. "For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live."(Ro.8:13)
"And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised"
The seven days in the Covenant refer to the Day that God has appointed for the Son. So of what significance is the eighth day. While the command number Seven signifies completion or whole we have the lower parts where Jesus went in Spirit and preached to the souls in prison. The Psalm of David does not leave the lower parts from God's providential eye. "My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth./Thine eyes did see my substance," (Ps.139:15-16). The number Eight has its relevance. The body of four and twenty elders is a memorial ibefore the throne of heaven (8x3). Covenant in short of the flesh shows the way to the life in the Spirit. It is what Jesus offered the nation of Israel."In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink."( John 7:37)
