After overcoming Jerusalem, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon sets up Zedekiah as a puppet ruler of Judea. Zedekiah, however, soon rebels against his masters.
His reign is ended in 586 B.C., after only eleven (11) years, when Nebuchadnezzar once again conquers Jerusalem but this time he destroys the city and temple.
The apostle John saw 11 things in connection with the final judgment.
Revelation 20:12 -14

I have always believed 11 means last lap, end, done, finished. Today is 11/11 and I thought it worth sharing what I have researched about the number 11.
In the Bible number 11 is usually represented in a negative context.
The number 11 doesn’t appear many times in the Bible as some other numbers. Number 11 as a whole number is appearing 24 times in this holy book, while 11th appears only 19 times.
Very often it is represented as a symbol of imperfection, judgement and disorder. and end.
Also, number 11 may symbolize a lack of organization and chaos. Sometimes it is even considered that number 11 can be a symbol of sin and evil that exist among the people.
The Bible says that 11 dukes of Edom were in the war with Israel all the time. Also, in Genesis 11 we have a description of the rebellion of people against God, which resulted in big chaos. It is also interesting to say that the last king of Judah ruled 11 years.
An interesting fact about number 11 is that the name of Jesus Christ has 11 letters. Jesus was 33 years old (11 x 3) at the moment of his death. There were 11 promises mentioned in the Gospel of John. Actually, it is written in the Book of Revelation that the apostle John had a vision of 11 things that were connected with the final judgement.
Many people believe that number 11 is associated with the biblical prophecy. We can mention some of the negative events that happened in the recent history and that have to do with number 11.
For example, we all know what happened on the September 11, 2001, in the USA. On this day there were many terrorist attacks made by the Islamic terrorists. In those attacks more than 3000 people were killed, while more than 6000 people were injured.
Also, in the year 2011 there was the big havoc in Japan caused by tsunami and earthquakes in this country.
The gospel of John records eleven very special promises.

All this week I have been in a conference in Texas, so it has been difficult to do live YouTube videos. I will be home Friday so this weekend I will make several videos again. Until then have a safe and enjoyable weekend and remember, "I believe in you and you need to believe in yourself."
