Eleven - Eleven - Twenty - Fourteen

This Passage of Scripture came up in my daily reading this morning  and I thought I would share it here. Just as an aside I thought I would look at 11 since it is twice in today's roman calendar date.

The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First He says: "This is the covenant I will make with them after that time, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds." Then He adds: "their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more." And where these have been forgiven, there is no longer any sacrifice for sin. 
Therefor brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, opened for us through the curtain, that is His body, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart, in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.Let us hold unswerving to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on to toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another-- all the more as you see the Day approaching.  Hebrews 10:17-31

Eleven - Eleven - Twenty Fourteen disorder, disorder, redemption, release, 


Eleven (yod-aleph) Imperfection, Disorder, Incompleteness

To write eleven in Hebrew, they wrote two Hebrew letters: yod (hand) and aleph (strength). These signify the hand (outworking) of one's strength. Man's works apart from God are imperfect and out of order, and so they come ultimately to disintegration.
 "their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more." And where these have been forgiven, there is no longer any sacrifice for sin.

Twenty (kaph) Redemption

Kaph is a palm, an open hand, in Hebrew. It signifies giving freely with the palm up, or covering sin with the palm down. There is some disagreement on the meaning of the number 20. Bullinger quotes Dr. Milo Mahan and appears to agree with him that it is the number of expectancy. Ed Vallow says it means Redemption
Therefor brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, opened for us through the curtain, that is His body, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart, in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.
.

Fourteen (yod-daleth)Deliverance, Release

To write fourteen in Hebrew, they wrote two Hebrew letters: yod-daleth. These signify the hand (outworking) of the door. It pictures a release or deliverance from the prison with the opening of the door.
Let us hold unswerving to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on to toward love and good deeds. 
Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another-- all the more as you see the Day approaching.
