Goals & Patterns

 Blue  v1-5 Ch 35 Num

~It's a picture of getting past inner walls & overcoming fears to enter into the rest of God.

15=Rest
7=Completion, Perfected
12=God's Divine Power Rule & Authority

to add hundreds or thousands (zero's) to a number causes the meaning of that number to be magnified in power...

The Goal Rev 11:15
Then the 7th angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The Kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall Reign forever and ever!"

Patterns
 Leviticus foreshadowing Revelation
...pastureland around the towns that you give the Levites (priests) will extend out 1500 feet from the town wall.  Outside the town measure 3,000 for each side (north, south, east, west) with the town in the center.  The priest can live in town and use the pastureland to feed his flock.
                             3,000+3,000+3,000+3,000=12,000

 Revelation 21:16 The New Jerusalem
The city is laid out as a square; it's length is as great as its breadth.  And he measured the city with the reed: 12,000 furlongs.  Its length, breadth, height are equal.

Both Testaments are saying the same thing about how God's Divine Power, Ruler, and Authority, are what caused the priest (us) to be able to feed the flock (each other) from an appointed place of rest (15=rest / New Jerusalem).  As we live in the center of town (or in our heart, the center), we have overcome high walls through His Deity (#3) and reached a place of rest (#15) as the Sheep of His very own Pasture (Ps 95:7).
