wondering what numbers 12 17 mean

by JAIMARIE - 1/09/10 7:10 AM
was just searching the web because for so long the numbers 12 17 pop up everywhere and anywhere and was trying to see the significance in these numbers together to see if there was an underlying meaning or message. I know there has to be. Anyone knows?

o and by the way theres 12 189 times in the bible well u take that and think hmm 8+9=17 then take theres 3 numbers that =20 or think hmm 8+9=17 and the number 1 has 3 letters =20 so in a way the bible also = 2012

Why are you talking about this planet x theory as if it's fact? It sounds like something very interesting, but lets be realistic. Also, what are you talking about take 3 numbers that equals 20?

I prefer the way of numerical addition to yield the number 12 by means of simply adding the digits of each number amongst themselves and then with eachother like so:
1+2=3, so 3 for the first, then 1+8+9=18,(1+8)=9, thus 3+9=12.

Satisfied? I am a seer/follower of them as well. It is a great path, but stray from it and you will find yourself in the 13th territory. Though you may already know that.

you missed the 8+9 in the add them with each other.
see: 1+2=3, yes. and 1+8=9, yes again. but, 8+9=17. see this is where it gets tricky.
adding the two first sums 3 and 9 give you twelve.
then, taking your base 12 (1+2=3) leaving the basis on the twelve you add the sum to the 17 and get 20.
now how you get 2012 when clearly the sums are in the order or 1220 I don't know. it's stupid really.
it could mean 12-20-12, again leaving the basis on the symbolism on 12. but, that's a stretch...

see, it's ridiculous. going on your comments of you got the number 12 in the bible 189 times, meaning you have some sort of biblical belief, then you'd know that no man knoweth when it's going to happen. i know it's fascinating especially when you love numbers as i do. but, still. give it a rest. and this isn't just to the one i replied to. it's to all who are crazed over knowing the time and day.

born with 12

by Linda - 10/26/09 9:44 AM
I was born on 12/12/1954 at 12:12am. I have always been obsessed by the number because of this and how much the number is used in daily life. 12 am hours, 12 pm hours, 12 months in a year, 12 inches in a foot, the 12 apostles, the 12 steps, 12 days of Christmas. 12 numbers on the clock, 12 in a dozen, 12 stars on the tiarra of God, the big deal about the end of the world, 12/21/2012...etc
I wish I was that important. Nothing yet.

A small heart shaped gravel stone found at my Mom's grave with 12 on it

by Arlene - 3/08/09 9:38 AM
I visited my mothers grave with an artificial floral arrangement for her birthday. As I knelt down I saw a very small grey gravel stone that was shaped like a heart. I saw it as a sign from above, that she was watching. Only one side is a heart shape, with the number 12 faintly but definitely present. The stone is only about a 1/4 inch. If it was turned over, the heart shape was not really visible. Any ideas?

The POWER of 12

by 12th Child - 11/25/09 12:59 PM
I am the 12th child born on the 12th month and 12th day. I am extremely spiritually in tune, I operate heavily under a prophetic anointing and believe that God has special assignments on the earth for people who are of the 12 in any way. I am on a constant spiritual journey of discovery about the POWER of 12 and appreciate ready everyone's comments and questions. I think there has been veiled knowledge about the 12 up until now and find it significant that much is being revealed at such a time as this. Blessings to ALL.

120

by J.H. - 9/09/09 4:53 AM
THE NUMBER 120 (multiple of 12):

120 yrs, Moses died
120 Jubilees, man's time on earth (6,000 yrs = 120 x 50)
120 trumpeters in Temple
120 is the 3 x 40 (3 wicked generations that God would
'strive' (hold back His wrath). 1st 40 was wilderness wandering,
2nd 40 was Jn Baptist ministry to full Temple Destruc in 71 A.D.
3rd 40 was 1967 (count start Yom 1968) to Yom 2008 (end all
modern patterns). All three 40's involved killing of children.
120 apostles in upper room
120 yrs start of Zionism (1896) to 2016, end of Trib.

(killing of babies in each 40-yr wicked generation was Moses in basket & put in river, Herod kills all babies under age 2, and today's abortions.)

dream

by larry - 10/04/09 11:49 AM
I had this dream where I was going to go into this building, but there were too many people in front, so I went round the back way. When I was around the building, someone said to me, "choose a number"? I've not really studied numerology, though I am spiritually inclined, but just starting a business and wanting it to be succesful, I chose "8".Which , when I looked it up, said more about money and financial success....great!! But the number I was given was a "12".Anybody got any ideas on what I've been given?....I'm looking for some understanding.

12's at birth

by JD - 9/08/09 8:12 AM
My daughter, who is an amazingly complete and whole person, was born at precisely 12:12 pm. I've always believed that this was a sign that she came as wholly herself, which she has generously shared with me, her father, for lotsa years. I recently had occasion to celebrate this fact on the occasion of her wedding, where she and her new husband became whole together...the great thing about wholes and completion is that the whole can increase and the complete become ever more complete...eventually we will all be folded back into the Wholeness...and then think of all the marvelous sharing that can take place when we understand and value our unique contribution to the Whole, which would, of course, not be Whole without us all...well, you get the idea, I hope...bless you all, until we are reunited!

11:11 and all these numbers are a message to you to wake up!! The Earth is shifting right now and will be ascending to 4th density by 2012. The changes are happening right now, you must tap into the frequency of love to be re connected to your true nature. Research into the true reality of the world, the universe, life and yourself.

The other day at work I was typing a letter, and I was looking a male co-worker walking by my desk - and when I went to spell check my letter - there was a formula in it that made 12:12 appear in red??? Any ideas? Now I keep seeing 12:12
