Dear Doves,

Lately, like many of you, I have been seeing the 11:11 am and pm both.  However, lately, it seems that each time my eyes are drawn to the clock at 11:11 immediately it changes to 11:12.  I am not sure that it means anything, BUT, after reading Acts 1: 12-26 something caught my eyes.  Read on:

Acts1:20-26

²⁰For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take.

²¹Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,

²²Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.

²³And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.

²⁴And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all [men], shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,

²⁵That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.

²⁶And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

So there were 11 left and they had to add one more disciple to make it 12. 

There are:
12 sons of Jacob
12 Tribes
12 Disciples
12 Months
12 hours in a day ( ^{John11: 9}Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.)
12 gates guarded by 12 angels, 12 foundations, 12 pearls, city measurements are 12,000, 144 cubits (12x12) (Rev. 21).
144,000, which is 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes of Israel.
12 when Jesus spoke at the Temple for the first time.
Jesus mentions 12 legions of angels in Matthew 26:53

Meaning of Numbers in the Bible
Number 12 (Twelve)

http://www.biblestudy.org/bibleref/meaning-of-numbers-in-bible/12.html

"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.

Twelve is the product of 3 (the perfectly Divine and heavenly number) and 4 (the earthly, the number of what is material and organic).

While seven is composed of 3 added to 4, 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."

Then Revelation 12 is the chapter that speaks of the woman and the dragon, and she has a crown of 12 stars. (she flees to the desert for 1290 days)

Acts 12 is when Peter miraculously escapes from prison.

John 12 is where Jesus enters triumphantly in to Jerusalem.

Luke 12 Jesus says:" 

³⁵Let your loins be girded about, and [your] lights burning;

³⁶And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.

³⁷Blessed [are] those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.

³⁸And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find [them] so, blessed are those servants.

Mark 12 is where the greatest commandment is given.

So to those who are familiar with numbers and their meaning I would ask if there is any meaning to all of the above, and could 11:11 turning to 11:12 mean that He is coming really, really soon and that there is no time to waste?

Oh, one more thing, remember the movie about global warming, The 11th Hour (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2174195060267517042), why use the number 11 in it?

"If ten is the number which marks the perfection of Divine order, then 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 eleven 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." Biblestudy.org.

What you say? Is any one else seeing 11 turning to 12?

May His love keep you near Him
