11:11

For years, I’ve seen 11:11 everywhere!  On digital clocks, on calendars, billboards, signs…all over. I asked God early on what it meant because I knew there had to be a reason I was seeing it so randomly and so often.  I certainly wasn’t seeking it out. Because God wasn’t answering, I tried to figure it out myself.  I looked up chapter and verse 11:11 in several books of the Bible. I googled it. But I came up empty. 

I knew Hebrew was alphanumeric. There are no numbers in the Hebrew language. Each letter has a numeric value. So when you talk about a number in Hebrew, it’s significant—it means something. Recently, I was listening to Rabbi Jason Sobel, a Messianic Jew, and he opened up the number 11. He said the number 11 in Hebrew meant “breakthrough!” He said the resurrection of Jesus is a picture of this number. He broke out of the grave in victory!

Happy 11:11!  May we all have a breakthrough!!!
