The number 12.
Dear reader, God pays special attention to numbers though we, his redeemed, rarely do so. In this article I show you how you can apply the number 12 in your daily life.
The New Jerusalem.
The city of New Jerusalem, that will come out of Heaven during the End Time, will have twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates. On the twelve gates will be written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel.
The wall of New Jerusalem will have twelve foundations, and on them are the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
The New Eden.
Within the restored Garden of Eden there will be the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb. On each side of the river stands the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month.
