12/12/12...Twelve Twelve Twelve...

I find today's date fascinating.
I've been thinking about things that have to do with the number 12.
Here is a list that a friend and I have been compiling today about the number 12:

Heaven has:
12 foundations made with
12 different kinds of precious stones
12 gates of pearl, and
12 seasons

and the list goes on:

12 patriarchs
12 precious stones on the breast plate of the High Priest
12 Tribes of Israel
12 Apostles
12 candlesticks in the Tabernacle

12 letters in Ecclesiastes and Lamentations
12 midnight was the hour Paul and Silas were freed from jail


12 basic hues in the color wheel
12 tones in an octave

12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of dark at the winter solstice and the spring equinox
Maximum wind speed of a hurricane is force 12
12 is the last year of childhood
12 hours on a clock


12 months in a year
12 inches in a foot
12 letters in twelve twelve twelve

12 string guitar

12 eggs in a dozen
12 years to finish high school
12 midnight was the hour Cinderella went back to being plain ole Cinderella
12 cups in an average pot of coffee
12 year molars
12 ounces in a can of soda
12 F keys on my keyboard
12 numbers on the phone including 0#*
212 degrees is boiling point
Time units are perfectly divisible by 12; 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour and 24 hours in a day.
12 letters in laugh out loud, roflolroflol and hahahahahaha!
12 days of Christmas
12 days LEFT till Christmas!

Can you think of more things to do with the number 12?

You know what???  IT'S A GOOD LIFE LIVING FOR THE LORD!!! LOL


Update: 12 legions of angels... I have heard that that is 66,000... and there are 66 books in the Bible.

Matthew 26:53 King James Version 

 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?

Isaiah 37:36 King James Version 
Then the angel of the Lord went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.

In this setting one angel killed 185,000 people! 

66,000 (angels) x 185,000 (the amount of folks each angel is able to kill) = 12,210,000,000... that is: twelve billion, two hundred and ten million! That is much more than our current population. 
According to the world population clock at 6 AM (EST) December 14,2012  there is 7,058,446,145 people alive on planet Earth.

Jesus chose to die on the cross to save me, (and YOU), because he loves us SO MUCH!
