Precious friends, for your prayerful and Careful consideration:
God’s Complete Number Twelve represents:
Twelve baptisms, Twelve tribes of Israel (As A nation),
Twelve apostles who will rule in the Prophesied Kingdom
With Christ, The King, on Twelve thrones on the earth!
(Genesis 49:28; Isaiah 9:7, 32:1; Matthew 19:28;
Luke 22:30; James 1:1 cp Rev 21:9-14-21)
In Addition, the Old Testament ( for your review at your leisure )
has plenty of ' Twelves ' for earthly Israel = wells - Exodus 15:27; pillars
- Exodus 24:4; stones - Exodus 28:21, 39:14; rods - Numbers 17:2,6, etc..
Furthermore, Also compare God's Heavenly Jerusalem ( the bride,
The Lamb's wife ) awaiting ( the New Heavens and ) the descending
to The New earth, Which Has:
"Twelve gates, and at the gates Twelve angels, and Twelve names written
thereon, which are the names of the Twelve tribes of the children
of Israel:..."
+
"...the wall of the city had Twelve foundations, and in them the names
of the Twelve apostles of the Lamb...the foundations of the wall of the
city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first...the
Twelfth, an amethyst. And the Twelve gates were Twelve pearls"
(Rev 21:9-14-21):
Thus Twelve is important in:
God's Context Of His Prophecy / Covenants / Law earthly Program/Purpose
Rightly Divided (2 Timothy 2:15) From “Things That Differ!” (online)
How about One, In God's Other Context Of His:
"Revelation Of The Mystery"/ Grace Heavenly Program/Purpose:
Paul, One Individual apostle, Both Roman and Hebrew, represents
Reconciliation, By Grace, of Both Jew and Gentile, as “Individuals”:
Spiritually Baptized (And "spiritually United!"), By:
One Baptism! (1 Corinthians 12:13; Ephesians 4:5),
Into One Body, The One New Man (Ephesians 2:15), In Heaven!...
... [ By The One Deadly, But Amazingly Wonderful, Cross! ] Of Christ, The
Risen And Glorified Saviour, The One And Only Head Of His Heavenly Church!
(Acts 22:27-28; Philippians 3:5; 1 Corinthians 12:13)
(Ephesians 2:11-16, 4:1-6, 5:30)
