I was drawn to this extract in cam from the above link. The Babylonian relation to Sevenfold and Marduk.
ENUMA ELISH
THE EPIC OF CREATION
L.W. King Translator
(from The Seven Tablets of Creation, London 1902
And unto
Marduk,- their first-born they
spake:
"May thy fate, O lord, be supreme among the gods,
To destroy and to create; speak thou the word, and thy command shall be
fulfilled.
Command now and let the garment vanish;
And speak the word again and let the garment reappear!
Then he spake with his mouth, and the garment vanished;
Again he commanded it, and. the garment reappeared.
When the gods, his fathers, beheld the fulfillment of his word,
They rejoiced, and they did homage unto him, saying,
" Marduk is king!"
They bestowed upon him the scepter, and the throne, and the ring,
They give him an invincible weapony which overwhelmeth the foe.
Go, and cut off the life of Tiamat,
And let the wind carry her blood into secret places."
After the gods his fathers had decreed for the lord his fate,
They caused him to set out on a path of prosperity and success.
He made ready the bow, he chose his weapon,
He slung a spear upon him and fastened it...
He raised the club, in his right hand he grasped it,
The bow and the quiver he hung at his side.
He set the lightning in front of him,
With burning flame he filled his body.
He made a net to enclose the inward parts of Tiamat,
The four winds he stationed so that nothing of her might escape;
The South wind and the North wind and the East wind and the West wind
He brought near to the net,
the gift of his father Anu.
He created the evil wind, and the tempest, and the hurricane,
And the fourfold wind, and
the sevenfold wind, and the
whirlwind, and
the wind which had no equal;
He sent forth the winds which he bad created, the seven of them;
To disturb the inward parts of Tiamat, they followed after him.
Then the lord raised the thunderbolt, his mighty weapon,
He mounted the chariot, the storm unequaled for terror,
He harnessed and yoked unto it four horses,
Destructive, ferocious, overwhelming, and swift of pace;
Note: the destruction of Taimat and the Sevenfold wind is part of that. Are we in the moment of the adjudication of the Lucifer rebellion? And could this be an ancient Babylonian tablet prophecy fulfilling itself in the current moment in the heavens?
Here is a sample of what the Urantia Book says about Marduk

And note the following extracts I was drawn to in this analysis from the following website
http://www.earth-history.com/Babylon/myths/mba19.htm#fr_338
In the following are extract that I was drawn to. By clicking to the following link you can browse the research of this great site.
This is shown clearly by the following pregnant extract from a Babylonian tablet: "Powerful, O Sevenfold, one are ye". Mr. L. W. King, the translator, comments upon it as follows: "There is no doubt that the name was applied to a group of gods who were so closely connected that, though addressed in the plural, they could in the same sentence be regarded as forming a single personality"
Perhaps the sanctity of Seven was suggested by Orion, the Bears, and the Pleiad, one of which constellations may have been the "Sevenfold" deity addressed as "one".
Tammuz may have been the "sevenfold one" of the hymns.
"Powerful, O sevenfold, one are ye", may have been a constellation consisting of seven stars. The worship of stars and planets, which were identified and named,
They distinguished them by no name or surname, for they were hitherto unacquainted with either; but they called them gods, which by its etymology means disposers, from observing the orderly disposition and distribution of the various parts of the universe. "The oldest deities are those which bore no individual names. They were simply "Fates" or groups called "Sevenfold".
317:1 As Nin-Girsu, Tammuz was associated with "sevenfold" Orion.
Like what I've been saying, mans destiny lays in the Sevenfold truth.

PAPER 39 - THE SERAPHIC HOSTS, Oct 19 2000
line 84: 4. Assistant Teachers. The assistant teachers are the helpers and associates of their fellow seraphim, the teaching counselors. They are also individually connected with the extensive educational enterprises of the local universe, especially with the sevenfold scheme of training operative on the mansion worlds of the local systems. A marvelous corps of this order of seraphim functions on Urantia for the purpose of fostering and furthering the cause of truth and righteousness.
PAPER 15 - THE SEVEN SUPERUNIVERSES, Oct 19 2000
line 28: Early in the materialization of the universal creation the sevenfold scheme of the superuniverse organization and government was formulated. The first post-Havona creation was divided into seven stupendous segments, and the headquarters worlds of these superuniverse governments were designed and constructed. The present scheme of administration has existed from near eternity, and the rulers of these seven superuniverses are rightly called Ancients of Days.
The same scheme that has perpetuated for the ages and beyond.
