If ten marks the perfection of Divine order, then the number
eleven is an addition to it, subversive of and undoing that
order. If twelve is the number which marks the perfection of
Divine government, then 11 falls short of it. So that whether
we regard it as being 10 + 1, or 12 – 1, it is the number which
marks, disorder, disorganization, imperfection, and
disintegration.
The importance of the number eleven is that it signifies
disorder and judgment and is used 24 times in the Bible. The
designation “11th” is used 19 times in scripture. Coming after
10 (law and responsibility), the number 11 represents the
opposite — the irresponsibility of breaking the Law, which
brings disorder and judgment.
In Genesis 11, men rebelled against God and built the tower
of Babel. God judged them by confusing their language,
resulting in chaos. In the eleventh year of Zedekiah, the last
king of Judah, God executed His final judgment against
Judah with the complete destruction of Jerusalem and the
temple and the exile of the remaining Jews to Babylon.
The apostle John saw 11 things in connection with the final
judgment (Revelation 20:12-14).
Number 12
Twelve is a perfect number, signifying perfection of
government, or of governmental perfection. It is found as a
multiple in all that has to do with 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 completes the great circle of the heavens of 360 (12 x
30) degrees or divisions, and thus govern the year.
