The judgment of 11 and the year 2008  Part One
 
I have had the opportunity of studying each number very slowly from 1 through 11. This certainly has opened up a brand new understanding about Jesus Christ,life and end time Bible prophecy. What I am seeing on many websites is Christians just want to go home, but more specifically there seems to be this frustration between the Spring and Fall on how these two seasons fit into end time Bible prophecy. I am convinced that the Bible teaches Jesus Christ has two primary roles regarding this manner.The first will be fulfilled in the Fall (the middle of the 7 year tribulation period) and the second will be fulfilled in the Spring (the end of the 7 year tribulation period). I can understand why there would be confusion.
 
I made a real blunder of interpretation a couple of years ago in my opinion. My reasoning was since the first 4 feasts were already fulfilled in the Spring (1) Passover; the death of Jesus Christ,(2) Unleavened Bread;the burial of Jesus Christ,(3) Firstfruits; the resurrection of Jesus Christ and (4) Penacost; the birth of the Church, I just assumed that (5) Rosh Hashanah which is the next feast day could be fulfilled in the rapture of the Church. This feast day was never fulfilled through Jesus Christ.
 
I was not dogmatic but the more I looked at this whole end time scenario, I became more inclined to believe that (5) Rosh Hashanah, (6) Yom Kippur and (7) The Feast of Tabernacles would be fulfilled in the 1000 year millennial kingdom of Jesus Christ. These feasts are in the Fall and I believe Jesus Christ Himself will be the fulfillment of (5) Rosh Hashanah, (6) Yom Kippur and (7) The Feast of Tabernacles in the first year of His millennial rule and will be recognized every year for 1000 years. In this 4 Part series, you might see where I am coming from and of course you can make your own conclusion from there if you wish.
 
I also may be able to show you some tangible truths regarding the year 2008 and how very significant this 12 month time frame is relative to the rapture and the possible start of the 7 year tribulation period. If anyone were to ask me, "when do you think this whole thing (the rapture and the "start" of the 7 year tribulation period) will kick off?" I would answer, "without being dogmatic I believe it will begin in the year 2008. To be more specific if I am looking at the clues correctly, the 7 year tribulation period will have to start sometime in the Spring/Summer of this year (2008). When I use the term Spring/Summer it is because for me there are too many factors (both known and unknown) to set a date for the start of the 7 year tribulation period. Maybe somebody out there is good enough to do this but if you read on I would have some problems with being that exact; however, too many different realities that have nothing to do with each other are coming together at the same time (2008). I also would like to add,when I say Summer,I don't mean late Summer.
 
It is interesting to me that I finally got around to writing about the number 11 and discovered how it fits into the year 2008 not only in a practical way but prophetically.This is the exact year we are presently living in right now and my research will show you that so many things are coming together in this very pivotal time frame.
 
I'm only mentioning a few.There are so many more,but this is only a Three Part article about the biblical number 11 and how it relates to the year 2008.
 
I am just an independent researcher, not a theologian but I do believe my research is accurate.The timing of God speaks of His Sovereignty.
 
I gave an analysis of the biblical meanings of 1 through 10 but it was not until I wrote about  the numbers 6,7,8, and 10  that I was pretty convinced that Jesus Christ was just about to come in the rapture. By the time I finished this 3 Part series on the number 11, I was 99% convinced but I did leave a 1% reserve that I could be wrong regarding my observations and opinions. Obviously I am not the only one saying this; however, I am approaching our blessed hope from a different perspective.
 
I really was not looking forward to writing about this number because of it's dark biblical meaning. Another reason would be the difficulty in explaining something so complicated and making it simple. When I say this, I am not referring to explaining what 11 means in the Bible.That seems pretty basic. I am talking about an astronomical discovery that goes as far back to 442 b.c. (perhaps earlier) that shows in the form of a pattern that we are very close to the rapture and the 7 year tribulation period.
 
This observation in 442 b.c. does apply to the number 11. It is called a Metonic cycle. Even the science of astronomy seems to point to the midnight hour that we live in if one looks at the calendar very closely.
 
The biblical meaning of eleven means judgment and disorder, confusion as it were in definition and context from the book of Genesis all the way through the book of Revelation.There is not an overwhelming amount of examples in the Bible explaining this but every one of them show the same theme.I would like to go over a couple, just so you get the general idea. I am sure you will understand the basic subtext as to where I am gong with this.
 
When I look at this I get a very small glimpse at the very person of Jesus Christ. He is not bound by time. 10+1=11 or 12-1=11. Ten (the ordinal perfection of God) +1=judgment and disorder because an addition to the law of God is disobedience. It is also interesting that 12 is the divine perfection of government and 11 falls just short of this order; therefore, the same conclusion would be implied (confusion and chaos). The structure of the divine biblical numbering system in the Bible reminds me of the fact that God can see in the past and the future. Jesus Christ can go forward or backward because He is above time.
 
Let me show you some of the bigger examples in the Bible regarding the truth about eleven. The first huge observation would be found in Exodus chapters 7 through 14. God sent 10 plaques on the Egyptians and "then" the overthrow (judgment) took place in the Red Sea when the Pharaoh at this time in history and his men were killed.
 
Jesus Christ lived 33 years. He died for our sins and was cut off.3x11=33. Three (divine completion) x eleven (judgment and disorder) = 33. Jesus Christ divinely completed (3) being "judged" (11) for the sins of humanity.
 
I want to explain my point quickly as to why 11 means judgment from God resulting in confusion and death because I would like to show you how the Metonic cycles seem to point to the year 2008.
 
Zedekiah ruled 11 years. He was evil and taken to Babylon in the eleventh year through a capture and then judgment was pronounced on him. Noah cursed Canaan and he had 11 sons. There are a couple of other examples in the Bible but none would be as vivid of the portrayal in Revelation 20:11-15. This judgment is the lake of fire for those who reject Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. This is broken down into 11 parts on 11 things that John observed.
 
(1) a great white throne
 
(2) Him that sat upon the throne
 
(3) the dead,small and great stand before God
 
(4) the books were opened
 
(5) another book, which was the book of life
 
(6) the dead were judged out of the things written in the books
 
(7) the sea gave up its dead
 
(8) death and hell delivered up their dead
 
(9) these were judged, every man according to their works
 
(10) he saw death and hell being cast into the lake of fire
 
(11) those cast into the lake of fire whose names were not found written in the book of life.
 
Notice the 11th observation that the apostle John saw was the actual judgment for those who rejected Jesus Christ as their personal Savior.
 
I recall when the European Community got back together through the treaty of Rome. They had 10 inverted upside down stars depicting the goats of mendes over a fifteenth century tower of Babel. Then they put one more star over the 10. This 1 star stands for the antichrist. 10+1=11 (Judgment).
 
9-11 took place in 2001 on this date. All one has to do is look at the numbers. Many things happened since then that I obviously don't have to talk about because it has already been said in many different forms. This will have to end Part One. In Part Two I will explain how the Metonic cycles relate to the year 2008.
