ZADOK PUBLICATIONS MONTHLY NEWSLETTER
June 1, 2025
Family Update
It amazes me how many times I would just be reading along in the Bible
and a word or a phrase seemingly would jump off the page and grab my
attention. It is thrilling to see the spiritual aspects unfold as they
call for deeper scrutiny. Such is the case in this month's newsletter.
Here are the two passages involved:
Luke
8:41-46:
And behold, there came a many named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the
synagogue. And he fell down at Jesus' feet and begged Him to come to his
house, 42 for he had an only daughter about
twelve years
of age, and she was dying.
But as He
went, the multitudes thronged Him. 43 Now a woman, having a flow of
blood for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood
on physicians and could not be healed by any, 44 came from behind and
touched the border of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood
stopped.
45And
Jesus said, "Who touched Me?" When all denied it, Peter and those with
him said, "Master, the multitudes throng and press You, and You say,
'Who touched Me?'" 46 But Jesus said, "Somebody touched Me, for I
perceived power going out from Me." NKJV |
Somehow, these two events intertwined with each other illustrating the
biblical significance of the number TWELVE.
| The
number 12 in Hebrew is "shnem asar". These two words: "shnem,"
meaning "two," and "asar," meaning "ten." Together, they form the number
12. |
The number twelve is the product of three (representing the divine) and
four (representing the earth or creation). The resulting number, 12, is
believed to signify God's perfect rule over His creation. The number 12
in the Bible means divine authority and governance. This was the power
Jesus spoke of.Twelve is also characterized as completeness or
wholeness. The number 12 is a testament to God's faithfulness in
fulfilling His promises. Twelve can also signify God's abundant
blessings and provision.
The two occasions cited in Luke fell in a witness category to the
Power radiating from Jesus.
Think now of the many Scriptures (168) where the number
Twelve
comes into play.
| Twelve tribes of
Israel (Genesis 35:22)
Twelve Stones in the
breastplate (Exodus 39:14). Many references in the temple
and tabernacle (i.e.: twelve loaves at the alter).
Twelve apostles
(Matthew 10:1).
Twelve baskets left
over (Mark 6:42).
Revelation 7 the
whole chapter.
Revelation 12 the
woman and her Twelve stars
Revelation 21 is
charged with the number 12.
Revelation 22:2
Twelve fruit for twelve months. |
I suggest you do a thorough concordance study to see the whole
picture of this power-filled word.
Normally, I close with "Until next month," but not this month. Below
is the reason why.
After this June letter, we are ending more than twenty years of
labor and transitioning to an occasional format. It could take the form
of a brief note, a one line thought or some work from my reading. All
this is due to my health problems. OEA will continue to build churches
(we just finished building our second church for Shilo Ministry in the
Philippines last week). We will continue to work with foreign
missionaries (last month we completed a work in Botswana). From time to
time, we will send pictures--but for now, we simply send our gratitude.
