ELEVEN AND THE JUDGEMENT OF GOD.

ELEVEN AND THE JUDGEMENT OF GOD Most people just associate the biblical meaning of eleven with confusion  but disorder  is always connected with the judgment of God. This is not only a difficult  article for me  to write but it is personal because the world is close to judgment; however , confusion  is already here in almost every country around the globe. Leaders are cutting off the  very limb they are sitting on and the average person does not understand  or acknowledge  the real issues in life (Confusion). There are only a few that understand the disorder in  life and see that judgment is coming. When I talk to the average person  the most common  response I get is everything is normal.   The biblical meaning of number eleven is disorder and judgment.  The most obvious passage  in Scripture would be found in Revelation chapter 20: 11-15. “(11) And I saw a (One) great  white throne, (Two) and Him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled  away; and there was found no place for them. (12) (Three) And I saw the dead, small and  great, stand before God; (Four) and the books were opened  (Five) and another book was  opened, which is the book of life: (Six) and the dead were  judged out of those things which  were written in the books, according to their works. (13) (Seven) And the sea gave up the  dead which were in it; (Eight) and death and hell delivered  up the dead which were in them  (Nine) and they were judged every man according to their works. (14) (Ten) And death and  hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.  (15) (Eleven) And whosoever  was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” Notice Jesus Christ  deliberated "Judgment" at number "Eleven" for all eternity.   There is also an example of this in the Old Testament.  When Moses was the massager  from God to the Pharaoh, God sent ten plagues and  then one final judgment which  killed all the attackers at the Red Sea. Jesus Christ deliberated "Judgment" at number  "Eleven" for all the Egyptians who were relentlessly attacking the Israelites.   (1) The plague of blood.( Exodus 7: 19-21) (2) The plague of Frogs.(Exodus 8:1-7)  (3) The plague of lice.(Exodus 8:16-17) (4) The plague of flies (Exodus 8: 21-24) (5)  The plague of Murrain (Exodus 9:1-7) (6) The plague  of Boils (Exodus: 9: 8-11) (7)  The plague of Hail (Exodus: 9-22-25) (8) The plague of  locusts (Exodus: 10:12-15) (9)  The plague of darkness (Exodus: 10:21-23) (10) The  plague of firstborn  (Exodus: 12: 29-30). The "Eleventh" judgment was th e overthrow at the  Red Sea (Exodus: 14: 24-28). Jesus Christ deliberated  "Judgment" at number  "Eleven" for all eternity.   First the Egyptians hold the Israelites for 400 years  as slaves then 10 horrible  plagues from God take place and their hearts were still hardened to the point  that they attacked them when they were leaving.  Evil is relentless. It will stop  at nothing unless God intervenes which He did and  that is called "Judgment."  At number "Eleven" God judged the Egyptians. The  Bible says harden not your  heart. God was patient but He finally had to judge. We see leaders and people  like that today. I see them all the time. I don't think the judgment of God is to  far off for this world.   For those of you that are being pursued by evil  because you are good then  I would suggest that you give the whole situation over  to God. If we have to  we should pray a couple times a day, "Lord I really need  to give this whole  thing in your hands because this chase from evil to my life is to much for me  to carry. I am giving this weight over to you." God allows  evil in this world to  refine the righteous.   Noah pronounced judgment on Canaan in Genesis  9:20-25 and sure enough  in Genesis 10:15-18 Canaan had "Eleven" sons. God controls birth. God  operates this whole universe but He does give us a free will. We should  ask God to help us make the right choices.   "There are eleven days journey from Horeb by the  way of Mount Seir  unto Kadesh-Barnea." Deuteronomy 1:2. The reason  it took them "Eleven"  days is because judgment was pronounced at Kadesh-Barnea because the  children of Israel refused to possess the promised  land because of fear.  This journey was the signature of God because of His previous judgment.  God has already provided the victory for us. He just wants us to possess  it by faith. When fear replaces faith then this is when  the problems start  to take root in our life. We should pray to the Lord and ask Him for more  faith.   There are a couple more biblical truths I could give  you but it is not my  purpose to make this complicated. My motive is to keep it simple. If the  biblical number ten stands for the law of God then  one added to ten is  eleven. If we do that in our life then disorder, confusion  and judgment  will take place.   Twelve is the number for governmental perfection  but if one is subtracted  then the total is eleven. The same principle applies because there was  perfection, now there is disorder and judgment.  Remember Jesus choose  twelve Apostles but Judas defected. He betrayed  Jesus with a kiss because  he allowed the devil to get into his mind. Look at  everything that happened.  Jesus went through horrible torture and He endured that for us. They crucified  Him on the cross and Jesus Christ Himself was being  judged for our sins.   Judas felt so guilty that he hung himself. He was judged after he died because  he certainly did not make it to heaven. There is not one  piece of evidence that  he repented. He didn't even give himself any time to repent . The worst thing g we can do is defect from the perfect government of God.  We should be content  with what God gave us and pursue what He has told us to do  because that is obedience.   Last I just want us to think about the fact that Jesus Christ died for our sins. He took  our place by being the perfect sacrificial atonement for our  transgressions against God . We are invited to repent of our sins and accept Jesus Christ  into our hearts as our very  own personal Savior and Lord. We can only do that because Jesus died for our sins and  rose again from the dead on the third day. I trust that anyone who has not made this  decision today/tonight will make that eternal choice right now . This is the most important  decision you will ever make because it is an eternal choice. God does not want anybody to perish. He wants us to have everlasting life with Him in heaven  Bob D.
