The continuous reference to the number seven throughout Revelation goes all the way back to Genesis 2:3.

And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. (KJV)

God rested on the seventh day and blessed it, He had finished creation on the seventh day and just that was finished, so the judgment has been passed here and is now complete.

A reference to chapter 8 of the Biblical book of Revelation

Rev. 7-12 (KJV)

(7) The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

(8) And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;

(9) And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.

(10) And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;

(11) And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.

(12) And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.

A reference to the Serbian geophysicist (among many things), Milutin Milanković. Or, in English, “Milton Milankovich”. Milankovich is famed for many contributions he made to global science but mainly for the explaining of how Earth’s long-term climate changes in it’s positioning in comparison to the Sun, this is now known as the Milankovitch cycles. What El Eloh is referring to here is how Milankovich explained the ice ages occurring in the geological past of the earth.

The Mahabhrata is an ancient Sanskrit epic which tells tales of Ancient India. It’s revered among many scholars for it’s contribution to the world civilization. El refers to two things with this line, one, in a literal sense:

The Mahabhrata contains many stories inside of 18 books, one of them being the story of Satyavati, a queen. Parashara, a sage, took Satyavati’s virginity, which would have left her shamed in society, but, she wished for their sexual act to be a secret and her virginity to remain intact. Parashara granted these wishes and they had sexual intercourse. But there is what is referred to as a “veil of mist” surrounding Satyavati, keeping her act a secret and her virginity intact. This is one way the line can be interpreted.

Another interpretation would be to the mysteriousness of the text itself, likening it to a “mist” around the text, making it difficult to understand.

A reference to the popular astronomer Galileo Galilei. Galileo theorized that the sun was the center of the solar system and all planets revolved around it; this was called heliocentrism. El explores the solar system and its mysterious nature much like Galileo because he’s on another level than other rappers. (Seriously, these are conscious bars.)
