11/11/11 next is 12/12/12 (December 12, 2012) – Redemption in 2012 (5772/5773)
B”H
Lots of numbers in the heading, I know. Today’s Solar Date is unique not just because it is 11/11/11, but because it is the only time in 100 years that the “single repeating digit date” includes 6 digits all identical (and this only happens with the digit 1 – which is special because Hashem is One)…
More importantly the next time the day, month, year are the same will be December 12th 2012, which is 9 days before the well known date of December 21st 2012, predicted as… Who knows.
This week’s Torah portion (VaYera) also happens to be the segment in the Zohar that includes the timeline for redemption, culminating in the year 5773 (2012). I wrote ab out it here: http://ronnierendel.com/2011/09/28/the-jewish-year-5772-2012-the-holy-zohars-prophecy-of-redemption/
As mentioned in that post, the Zohar goes through a 12.5 year process, most of it corresponding to the days of Moshiach ben Yosef. It will be interesting to write about the relationship between Moshiach ben Yosef and Moshiach ben Dovid (the King and heir of the Davidic dynasty normally associated with the term “Moshiach”.)
What’s so special about the number 11 by the way? In numerous places in Chassidus and Kabbalah 11 symbolizes the transformation of Evil into
Extreme Good. You see, Good is Good. Eveil is Bad. But when you sweeten (and reveal) the essential source of Everything, you turn Evil into Extreme Good. Hence the 11 spices in the Temple service include the Serum of Death, which properly treated was transformed into the Serem of Life.
This is a very deep and mystical concept, but yet another key to redemption. Unfortunately, here is another image that comes to mind with the number 11:
“Twins” has many mystical insights as well (how Man is a “twin” to G-d in the Days of Moshiach, hence the purpose of creation, etc.) The Zohar’s timeline includes many insights into what we have to do to help bring about this transformation in a revealed good way. It’s a work in progress, but please check it out – moshiach770.org.
Good Shabbos
