12 years

We are now about to finish 12 years from January 1, 2001, the first day that started the “New Millennium” on our calendar. On December 25, 2000, Christmas Day, there was a rare solar eclipse. Two weeks later, on January 10, 2001, there was a total lunar eclipse, where the moon turned to blood. What is the significance of being at the end of 12 years from these events?

Mark 5: “And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years. She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, because she thought, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed.” Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering.”

Is this not a beautiful illustration for us of what happens at the time of the Rapture? We see Him, we touch Him, and we are immediately healed and freed from all of the suffering we have been through on the earth, after 12 years of waiting from the “New Millennium” on our calendar until the true start of the “New Millennium” for those who are raptured.

Not only do we have the woman with the issue of blood being healed after 12 years, we also have a little girl (Jairus' daughter) who was 12 years old when she was raised from the dead. So, in the story of the woman with the issue of blood, we have a picture of those who are "alive" in Christ being given new bodies (being healed), and in the story of Jairus' daughter we have another foreshadowing of the dead being raised after 12 years.
