1 | Only seal and horse in same verse Rev6:5 | Bible general Archive 1 | Jensen | 18910 | ||
Please just answer the one question I asked. Where in the Bible does it say that the number 12 represents what you called "governmental perfection". You have taken the number 12 and based a lot on it. But you say that "Maybe we should concentrate on the number twenty because that is redemption." I would like to understand one number at a time but thanks for the offer :-) Why does the number twelve represent "govermental perfection"? It seems like a simple question for someone like yourself who has spent much effort in studying these things. I have not. I know there were twelve tribes of Israel but that is about it. If you want to stop trying to explain these things to me I will understand. But you did offer :-) God Bless Jensen |

The "governmental perfection" in the number 12 comes from two sources: 1) Israel as God's earthly people is based on 12 tribes; and 2) The church as God's heavenly people is based on 12 apostles whose names are written on the 12 foundation stones of New Jerusalem (Rev 21:14). Before you ask, "Is Judas Iscariot one that is written, and if not, who is instead?" Let me tell you Scripture does not say. I think Judas was replaced by Paul, but I could be wrong. He might have been replaced by Matthias. Steve |
