There are many possible meanings to the reference by Wikileaks though it does seem in general Vault 7 symbolises a treasure of information (and that information seems to involve insurance of sorts kept in silence to protect the powers that be against cataclysm likely self created). I have found references to seven vaults in antiquity which survive and are to be found in areas where there is much war.
The number 7 itself has great symbolism and so the reference to vaults and seven are many. In the Dresden Files there is a reference to Hades Vault 7 where "Hades keeps a number of one-of-a-kind items...The vault is enormous, having to house a vast number of antiques, treasures and religious artifacts, collected over many millennia of history. Most, if not all, of them are imbued with enormous magical power, making them extremely powerful weapons – the vault is actually Hades’ armory, whose purpose is to safely keep them from falling in the hands of those who are too weak or incompetent to use them appropriately" See http://dresdenfiles.wikia.com/wiki/Hades'_Vault
This fictional setting could of course itself be based on factual information concerning a vault of this sort.
Considering some of the imagery used in the tweets there does seem to be thematic parallels in the Dresden Files narrative concerning the Hades Vault 7.

Since the FBI released Vaults 1 - 6 of information about Clinton, it seems to me that Vault 7 is a further trove of information that Wikileaks knows the FBI has and wants released. The whole "cryptic clues" thing and the propagating of riddles is so different to Wikileaks normal methods of just releasing info when they have it, I'm really starting to think that Wikileaks has been compromised and all this crap is just to blur the facts and turn everything into another conspiracy theory. Reddit, 4Chan and Voat people are grasping the whole mystery with both hands and are forgetting what used to happen with Wikileaks information releases. I sadly feel that the Establishment may be winning here.

Throgmorton I agree with you, it seems all very out of character for Wikileaks. Then again I factor in that, if not compromised, they see themselves at war and clearly Assange is the type who will do what he thinks it takes to fight back. Under such conditions, and looking into Assange's profile, it is more than possible tactic changes become prevalent. Still I basically agree that in some way Wikileaks is not what it was and it is compromised - though I think perhaps the compromise is their decision to be a mish mash of highly public and highly secretive. That they play with spies and deep state manipulators - this was always going to compromise them. Personally I find the little game of alluring tweets off putting though interesting and in the past couple of months I have also woken to the fact that Assange is no angel. There are other organisations supporting whistle blowers and they stay relatively quiet which leads them to less likely situations of compromise.
PS as to the FBI Vaults, there is an FBI Vault 7 connected to UFO sightings and a read of it is very revealing actually. There are mentions which could correlate to the Wikileaks Vault 7 tweet inferences. Yesterday I posted a thread on that in Reddit as well as a thread about the Hades Vault 7 symbolism (and as Assange obviously references such things as comics [where Asterix features .. him] ) I thought his mind might go to the Dresden Files and the Hades Vault 7. As I was so quickly voted down about the Hades Vault 7 reference on Reddit I think it has some significance (the down votes so quickly seem to often come from shills lurking there).
