Remember the Beatles had a song called "Eight Days a Week?"
Paul McCartney said the title comes from a chauffeur's response to "How's it going?" He said, "Working hard, eight days a week."
The original meaning is different. The Old Testament tells us that God created the world in seven days. Since Jesus has come; it is a new time. Sometimes, you will hear Sunday, referred to as the eighth day of the week.
Sunday is called by some, the first day of week. Other people call it the eighth day of the week because it is the eighth day of the new creation. In fact, it is an ongoing eighth day, until the end time. (Think of the 8 sign for infinity.) The eighth day is still happening.
I can see how the Beatles' song and the infinity symbol are related. They both mean "I love you forever." That certainly applies to Jesus' coming. Both times.
