symbologyBibleNumbers

Twelve is the product of 3 (the perfectly Divine and heavenly
number) and 4 (the earthly of what is material and organic).
While seven is composed of 3 added to 4, the number twelve
is 3 multiplied by 4, and hence denotes that which can
scarcely be explained in words, but which the spiritual
perception can at once appreciate, viz., organization, the
products denoting production and multiplication and increase
of all that is contained in the two numbers separately. The 4
is generally prominently seen in the twelve.
The number twelve is found 187 times total in the Bible, 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. Twelve
is also used as a signature of Israel. Truth is symbolized by
144, or 12 x 12.
There are twelve divisions of heaven called the Mazzaroth,
which God uses for signs and seasons. The testimony of the
stars is numerically in harmony with the Bible: “The heavens
declare the glory of God and the firmament shows His
handiwork” (Psalms 19:1).
Number 13
The number thirteen and the enemy of God
The enemies of God and his people, as named in Scripture,
are generally multiples of 13. The primary example of this is
the great enemy himself, Satan. Although we may give the
English for the sake of clearness, the Gematria (the values
formed by the letters of the words themselves) are always
based on the original Hebrew or Greek:
•Satan, in Hebrew = 364 (13 x 28)
