There is no specific meaning. As to why, I am thinking coincidence.
Or maybe it is this. July is the seventh month. This happened over a one week period. 7+ 1 = 8. There are two dates that define this one week. 2 + 1 = 3.
Therefore, the cube root of 8 is 2. I believe that this explains why it is be 2, instead of not be 2. Be two or not be two, the question is that.
The first line was serious. Nothing else was until now. When we notice something and wonder about it, we will pay attention to reoccurrences. I believe that this is the underlying explanation. You just became more aware of the occurrence of pairs.
Being a Christian, I do not put any stock in the concept of hidden messages, of aliens telling you that they will abduct you on the second of February, or anything else mystical.
