A Chinese Eleven (Xi) and Eclipse Photo (Phil Hart)
This short letter is for those who, like me, see elevens all the time. First, a look back at the eclipse on 14 November 2012. In my letter of 14 November (Transit of Venus, Great Earthquake (2004) and Solar Eclipse of 14 November) I should have noted that there were eight (not five) prophetic years between the 26 December 2004 earthquake and 15 November 2012. Interestingly, on 15 November there was an escalation in violence between Israel and Hamas in Gaza and the new Chinese leadership team was announced to the world.

The wonderful eclipse photo chosen by NASA for the 15 November 2012 (link above) was taken by my nephew Phil Hart who is a part-time photo astronomer - considering how many photos would be available, the odds of this happening are truly astronomical! The text attached to the photo (below) provides a good summary of the eclipse.
Explanation: This month's New Moon brought a total solar eclipse to parts of planet Earth on November 13 (UT). Most of the total eclipse track fell across the southern Pacific, but the Moon's dark umbral shadow began its journey in northern Australia on Wednesday morning, local time. From along the track, this telescopic snapshot captures the Moon's silhouette in skies over Queensland along the Mulligan highway west of Port Douglas.
New Chinese Leaders: Xi Jinping and Li Keqiang
Now for the thinly-disguised eleven. The new Chinese leader is Xi Jinping: the Roman numeral for eleven is Xi (11)! So unless there is an unexpected change, Xi will be the Chinese leader for the next ten years, with the Roman numeral for 11 stamped into his name when presented to the world (in the eleventh month!). I am not an expert in Biblical numbers, but 11 points to judgment (Pastor Riley). If ten reflects the perfection of God’s order, then eleven falls short of the number 12 which represents the perfection of Divine government. Isaiah 11 points to Jesus Christ as the administrator of perfect government:
2 And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him - the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the reverential fear of the Lord.
We can take this a little further. The deputy leader is Li Keqiang, with Li being the Roman numeral for 51. One link of interest is to Jeremiah 51: in his vision, Dumitru Duduman was directed to Jeremiah 51: 8-15 as God’s judgment on the United States. This chapter applies more generally to the world Babylonian system - China is expected to take over as the greatest world economic power sometime in the future!
There are clearly a number of composites of the two Roman numeral numbers, but one of special interest is: if you combine Xi and Li you arrive at XLii or 42, which is the number for the Second Coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ!
