#15~ TWELVE~ BIBLE NUMBER MEANINGS 1-28-12

If you'll remember last week I pointed out that TWELVE was one of the four perfect numbers, TWELVE is the number that denotes GOVERNMENTAL PERFECTION.

"TWELVE" is found 211 times in our KJ Bible.

Jesus said to His apostles,

Matthew 19:28 Verily, I say unto you. that ye which have followed me, in the regeneration, when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of His glory, ye also shall sit upon TWELVE thrones, judging the TWELVE tribes of Israel.

The world now knows Who the Almighty Potentate is, (HIS glory)

If you'll recall in our study of Revelation, He sits on the Throne of His Glory just after the Tribulation but before the Millennium begins, this judgment determines who will enter into the 1000 year Kingdom reign as He rules, those that befriended the 144000 Jewish missionaries during the Tribulation are the sheep, they will be placed on His right, they will go into the Kingdom, they will be in their natural bodies, they will produce millions of children during this time to repopulate the earth.

The goats are the people that were not kind to these Jewish Missionaries; they will be placed on His left and cast into hell, (outer darkness).

Matthew 25: 31-32 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 32And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

Untold millions will be killed in the seven year Tribulation, but theses are the people that managed to some how survive.

„« Read it all in Matt. 25:31-46

Jesus first recorded words in the gospel of Luke, was when they found Him in the Temple.

He was TWELVE years old.

LISTEN to this very interesting account;

Luke 2:41-48 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the Passover. 42And when he was TWELVE years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast. 43And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it.

44But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance.

45And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him. 46And it came to pass, that after THREE (God is usually involved when we see THREE) days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.

47And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers. 48And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father (step father) and I have sought thee sorrowing. 49And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business? THESE ARE His 1st recorded words in LK, and it's to do with His Fathers business.

LISTEN, His last recorded words in the gospel of John are found in

John19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

Jesus came to do the Fathers will, and He accomplished His mission. His Fathers business.
