NUMBER TWELVE (12-4)
(Message by Tanny Keng)
0. Introduction
a) Twelve is a perfect number, signifying perfection of government, or of governmental perfection. Twelve is found 187 times total in Scripture, 22 of which are in the book of Revelation. The significance of the number 12 is that it represents divine authority and appointment, as well as governmental foundation and perfection, and shows completeness. It is interesting to note what other mention(s) for 12 can be found in the Bible.
1. Twelve and the New Jerusalem
a) The measurement of the new Jerusalem will be 12,000 furlongs square, while the wall will be 144 (12 x 12) cubits, Revelation 21:16,17. Those sealed in Revelation 7:4 will be 144,000, and all that has to do with the Twelve Tribe, such as the stones in the High Priest's breastplate, the stones taken out of the Jordan, etc. etc. and therefore we have not referred to all such reference in these pages.
