SIGNS IN THE HEAVENS

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. How do NUMBERS 8 and 4 come about?

a) On 29th January 2015 (Thursday), the Lord vividly showed me NUMBER 8 and then NUMBER 4. I immediately looked at the wall clock in my house and it was registered at 7.10 pm. What was the Lord trying to say?
 
2. What do these numbers represent?

a) 8, 4 = 8 + 4 = NUMBER 12.
   
b) 29 January = 29/01 = 2 + 9 + 0 + 1 = NUMBER 12.
 
c) 2015 = 2 + 0 + 1 + 5 = NUMBER 8.

d) Time 7.10 pm = 7 + 1 + 0 = NUMBER 8.

e) The significant numbers are NUMBER 8 and NUMBER 12.
 
3. What is the meaning for NUMBER 8 and NUMBER 12?
 
NUMBER 8
 
a) The number eight symbolizes resurrection and a new beginning. Noah's ark passed through the waters symbolizing death, but it was resurrected and rested on Mt. Ararat and eight people emerged to a new beginning.

NUMBER 12

a) The number twelve speaks of governmental perfection or rule. The sun which "rules" the day, and the moon and stars which "govern" the night, do so by their passage through the twelve signs of the Zodiac which complete the great circle of the heavens of 360 degrees (12 x 30) which govern the year.

b) As a symbol, twelve is one of the perfect numbers in the Bible mainly because of the twelve tribes of Israel. Saying the "twelve tribes of Israel" has a double meaning. The tribes are the sons of Jacob whose name was changed to Israel when he wrestled with God. Also, the tribes are of Israel, the nation. Many things in the Bible acknowledge and are patterned after the twelve tribes.

c) Following the exodus, Moses built twelve pillars on Mount Sinai (Exodus 24:4). Twelve spies were sent to spy out the land (Deuteronomy 1:23). Twelve stones were set as a memorial after crossing the Jordan River (Joshua 4:3). Twelve stones were attached to the breastplate of the priestly garments bearing the names of the twelve tribes (Exodus 39:8-14). The temple involved twelve in its measurements and furnishings.

d) The New Testament records the number twelve many times.

i) Jesus speaks His first words in the Bible at the age of twelve (Luke 2:42).

ii) Later, He chooses twelve disciples patterned after the twelve tribes of Israel.

iii) Twelve baskets of fragments were collected after Jesus fed the five thousand (Mark 6:43).

iv) The Book of Revelation says there are twelve gates to the city, twelve angels as gatekeepers and the names of the twelve tribes written on the gates. The gates are twelve pearls and the wall will be on twelve foundations which bear the names of the twelve apostles. The measurements of the New Jerusalem also involve the number twelve in its measurements.

e) The number twelve as the perfect governmental number rule within our own society. That's why there are twelve people on a jury. The tree of life that once stood in the Garden of Eden and was forbidden to Adam, will stand in the city and be accessible to all of us. It will bear twelve kinds of fruit for the twelve months for the healing of the nations (Revelation 22:2).
 
4. What is God saying regarding these numbers? What is the main theme for these numbers? 

a) God is saying that we ought to take heed of the revealed NUMBER 8 and 12. 

b) The number twelve speaks of governmental perfection or rule. The sun which "rules" the day, and the moon and stars which "govern" the night, do so by their passage through the twelve signs of the Zodiac which complete the great circle of the heavens of 360 degrees (12 x 30) which govern the year.

c) God is saying that we should take heed of the signs in the heavens for the soon return of the Son of Man. He will come to take His bride (the church) and then come in glory and power to rule the earth. There will be a new beginning for Christ's governmental perfection or rule. Earth is still His creation and He will not allow puny man to frustrate His divine plan.

Luke 21:25-26 New King James Version (NKJV) 
25 “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; 26 men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
 
d) Signs
 
Isaiah 13:10 New King James Version (NKJV)
10 For the stars of heaven and their constellations
Will not give their light;
The sun will be darkened in its going forth,
And the moon will not cause its light to shine.
 
Jeremiah 4:23 New King James Version (NKJV)
23 I beheld the earth, and indeed it was without form, and void;
And the heavens, they had no light.
 
Ezekiel 32:7-8 New King James Version (NKJV)
When I put out your light,
I will cover the heavens, and make its stars dark;
I will cover the sun with a cloud,
And the moon shall not give her light.
All the bright lights of the heavens I will make dark over you,
And bring darkness upon your land,”
Says the Lord God.
 
Joel 2:30-31 New King James Version (NKJV)
30 “And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth:
Blood and fire and pillars of smoke.
31 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
And the moon into blood,
Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord.
 
Amos 8:9 New King James Version (NKJV)
“And it shall come to pass in that day,” says the Lord God,
“That I will make the sun go down at noon,
And I will darken the earth in broad daylight.
 
 2 Peter 3:10 New King James Version (NKJV)
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.
 
Revelation 6:12-14 New King James Version (NKJV)
12 I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. 13 And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. 14 Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place.

e) The main theme is "SIGNS IN THE HEAVENS."
 

The End ...
