The Number Twelve（数字12）
By Daniel Ferrera
The number 12 appears several times in the Bible, i.e., the twelve tribes of Israel, the twelve disciples of Christ, twelve stones, twelve princes, etc. It is my belief that these represent the twelve signs of the zodiac: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces.
数字12在<圣经>中以不同的形式反复出现，比如，以色列的12个部落，耶酥的12个门徒，12块石头，12个王子等等。我相信这是代表了黄道上的12个星座，白羊座，金牛座，双子座，巨蟹座，狮子座，处女座，天秤座，天蝎座，射手座，摩羯座，宝瓶座和双鱼座。
The number twelve is symbolic of the creation of the universe as it represents the division or fractionating of unity (God) into twelve individual distinct vibrations or tones. This is most readily seen in music. The notes have been named: a, a-sharp, b, c, c-sharp, d, d-sharp, e, f, f-sharp, g, g-sharp in chromatic fashion. For example, c-flat is the same sound or note as b. Now that we know that there are twelve and only twelve notes we can start to see or imagine the process of creation as a fundamental division from unity into 12 unique qualities.
数字12是宇宙创造万物的一种象征，同样象征和谐统一的宇宙（上帝）被分开或者分离成的12个有着各自独特波动或音调的个体。这一点在音乐中最显而易见。音乐的调子被分为：A，高音A，B，C，高音C，D，高音D，E，F，高音F，G，半音阶方式的高音G 。举个例子，降半音的C调，和B调是相同的声音或音色。现在我们知道了这里有12个也只有这12个调子，我们可以开始理解和想象到宇宙按照这样一个基本的分割法则创造出12个独特品质的方法和过程。
These fundamental qualities can also vibrate at faster or slower frequencies through the powers of 2 or duality. This is similar in concept to water existing as a gas, liquid, or solid based upon temperature. “In the beginning, when God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was a formless wasteland”. First, God said “Let there be light” and this created (1) “day” & (2) “night”. Then God created the (3) earth and the (4) Sea. (5) Let the earth bring forth vegetation, (6) Lights in the sky for signs and seasons. (7) Then he creates two great lights, the greater to govern the day, (8) the lesser to govern the night. (9) Let the water teem with an abundance of living creatures. (10) Birds in the sky. (11) Let the earth bring forth-living creatures. (12) Let us make man in our own image, after our likeness. God created man in his image; in the divine image he created him; male and female he created them. In the book of Genesis, we learn that all the fundamentals of creation form as they become defined out of the formless abyss of totality.
这12种基本的特性还可以以2的幂或着对偶二元性来以更快或更慢的波动频率来波动。类似的认识比如水变成气态液态或固体时是基于温度的变化。在最初,上帝创造天和地时,大地是一片没有定型的蛮荒之地,首先上帝说,这里要有光, 这就有了(1)白天和(2)黑夜。之后上帝创造了（3）陆地和（4）海洋。（5）让陆地覆盖上植被（6）天上的光显示出征候和季节（7）之后上帝创造了两个大的发光体，较大的统治白天（8）较小一点的统治黑夜（9）让水来大量供给人和各种有生命的动物（10）要有鸟飞在天上（11）地上要滋生出各种活物来。（12）上帝说，我们要按照我们的形象来造人，上帝按照他的形象造了人，按照他的形象造了男人和女人。在《创世纪》这一章里，我们知道了所有的基本形态创造都是由那没有定型没有形状的深渊中的整体里演变出来的。
We learn that definitions are only possible from the division into polar opposites. For example, how can you define light without darkness, good without evil, male without female, water without earth, sound without silence, hot without cold, etc.?
我们知道了定义一个事物只可能从对立的两个极端中去区分。比如，没有黑暗你怎么去定义光明，没有邪恶你怎么定义善良，没有女人怎么定义男人呢，没有水，怎么定义陆地，没有寂静怎么定义声音，没有寒冷怎么定义炎热？
Therefore, creation is made possible by dividing (powers of 2) a fundamental into two diametrically opposed qualities that allows for the comprehension of both through the existence of its opposite even though they sprang forth from the same source. If we take white light as a model of creation, we can see that colors result from dividing the white light representing unity into multiple colors by shining it through a prism.
因此,创造很可能是用(2的幂)数来划分一个基本形态使其成为两个直接对立和相反性质的东西,并允许他们由始至终的存在状态中又彼此包含其对立一面,尽管它们都是从一个相同的源头跳出来的.假如我们用白色的光线作为一种类形的创造物, 在白光射入棱镜时我们能看到颜色由白光划分出来, 并显示出白光实际上是多种不同颜色的集合物.。
This process divides the white light into three main colors symbolic of the trinity of Father, Son, Holy Spirit or Red, Blue and Green. Black is the absence of light or color, in other words, white light is completely absorbed by the darkness and no colors are reflected back. From the three colors red, blue and green, all other color sensations can be made. So in this simple example of white light, we can see how unity was divided into individual unique qualities. Because white light can not exist without it’s opposite (darkness) black, we have the first duality or polar opposite from a common undefined source. Red, Blue and Green light are created when they are divided out from the unity or oneness they experience together as white light.
对光的这种处理过程将白色光线分成三基色红色，兰色和绿色，并象征了圣父，圣子，圣灵的三位一体。黑色是缺乏光线或颜色，换句话说，白色光线被黑暗全部吸收并且没有任何颜色被反射回来。从三基色红绿兰的组合之中可以使人感受到所有颜色。所以从这个白光的简单例子里，我们就能理解一个联合的集体是如何分成具有唯一品质特性的不同个体的。由于白色光不能失去它的对立面黑色（黑暗）而独立存在，我们就从那个具有普遍意义的共同拥有的未知源头里获得了对二元性或者说两极对立的最初理解。红色，兰色和绿色光是在当它们从一个统一体或者说是由它们组合成的白光里被划分后才创造出来的。
The speed of light is considered as one of the universal constants. It moves about 299,792.5 kilometers per second, or 186,282.4 miles per second. However, if you use nautical miles, which equal 1-minute of latitude at the earth’s equator. The speed of light travels 161,803.4 nautical miles per second, which is equal to the Golden ratio Phi or 1.618034.
光的速度被认为是一个宇宙的常数。它每秒运行299,792.5公里，或者186,282.4英里。然而，假如你使用航海英里来计算，也就是从地球的赤道上开始的纬度的一分。那么光速就是每秒161,803.4海里，这等于黄金比率PHI或者1.618034。
This ratio occurs in all types of life forms and growth processes. Mathematically, Phi is the division of something into two unequal parts, in such a way that the lesser is to the greater as the greater is to the whole. An interesting Biblical relationship to Phi is the number of the Beast 666. First, let’s calculate phi. Phi is equal to the square root of 5, which is equal to 2.2360679775.
这个比率出现在所有类型的生命形式和生长过程中。算术意义上的黄金分割率是把某种事物分割成两个不平等的部分，以这样一种分割方式，使得较小的部分与较大的部分之间的比例与较大的部分与整体之间的比例相等。圣经中存在一个非常有趣的和黄金分割率相关联的数字，代表野蛮和人面兽心的反上帝数字666。首先先让我们来计算下PHI，5的平方根，即2.2360679775。
Next we add 1 which increases the number to 3.2360679775. The next step is to divide by 2, which equals 1.61803398875. If we divide Phi by two again (the musical octave) we get 0.8090169943749. Now here is where it gets interesting. If you take the sine of 666, you get negative -0.8090169943749 and multiplying this by 2 (musical octave) equals –1.61803398875!
下一步我们在5的平方根上加1，就等于3.2360679775。之后用2来除，就等于1.61803398875（黄金率）。假如再用2除一次（音乐的8度音阶），我们就得到0.8090169943749。这里接下来就有趣了。假如我们把反上帝的数字666取正弦值，你就得到一个负值，或者说反对性的，阴性的—0.8090169943749，如果取其2倍数（音乐的8度音阶）就等于负值的黄金率 –1.61803398875。
For anyone that needs a little refresher course, the sine function gives the ratio of the opposite side of a given angle in a right triangle to the hypotenuse. Also remember that Phi is calculated from the hypotenuse of a 1 by 2 rectangle. From this mathematical exercise, it appears that the Beast is the exact opposite process of Phi, where Phi represents growth, light and life and negative Phi represents decay, darkness and death.
一些人需要复习一点数学课程，正弦的作用是给出在一个直角三角形中的一个已知角所对应的一条边与直角三角形斜边之间的比率。同样要知道黄金率是从一个被一分为二的矩形中的对角线也就是直角三角形的斜边中计算来的。从这些数学计算题里，显现出那个人面兽心的反上帝数字确实是和黄金分割率出现精确的对立作用，黄金分割率描绘着生长，光明和生存，而阴性的负的黄金分割率描绘着衰退，黑暗和死亡。（这就不难理解666代表反上帝了）
Getting back to the number 12, 144 equals the square of 12, i.e. 12 x 12. We know that there are 24 hours in a day, which is divided into 12 hours of day and 12 hours of night. There are 60-minutes in an hour and 60 times 24 = 1440 (The 12 tribes of Israel is 144,000). Twenty-four equals two times twelve, which is the musical octave of 12 and is represented in the 24 elders, seated around the throne of God. The apparent declination of the sun is zero at the Vernal and Autumnal equinoxes and reaches it’s maximum declination on the summer solstice at +24-degrees. The minimum declination is reached on the winter solstice at negative 24-degrees.
回到数字12，144等于12的平方，或者12X12。我们知道一天有24小时，并被划分成12个小时的白天和12个小时的黑夜。一小时里有60分钟并且60X24=1440（以色列的12个部落是144000）。24是12的两倍，是12的8度音阶并象征着12个长老（圣经中的描述），固定围坐在上帝跟前。太阳明显的偏差在春分和秋分是“0”，达到它最大偏差是在夏至，偏差24度，最小偏差出现在冬至，偏差是负的24度。
The numbers 1,2 and 3 are all prime numbers and are symbolic of creation through the holy trinity. The number 12 would be reduced in numerology as 1+2=3, which means that the number 12 is also symbolic of the trinity. According to the rules of music vibration, we know that octaves of the fundamental vibration are created through multiplication or division from the number two. Two times twelve is 24 and half of 12 is 6. It is interesting to note that all prime numbers greater than 3 (the original trinity of prime numbers) are properties of the number six. The formula for creating prime numbers is 6n + 1where n is any number and + 1 is symbolic of unity or the original cause. For example: 6*2 = 12 and 12 – 1 is 11 and 12 + 1 is 13 and 11 and 13 are prime numbers. 6 *3 is 18 and 18 – 1 is 17 and 18 + 1 is 19 and both 17 and 19 are prime numbers.
数字1，2，3都是素数，它们象征着从圣父圣子圣灵神圣的三位一体中创造出来的创造物。数字12可以按照数字命理学的方法被简化为1+2=3，这意味着数字12同样象征着三位一体的上帝。遵照音乐波动的法则，我们知道基本振动的八度音阶是通过数字2的乘法或除法创造出来的。12的两倍是24，12的一半是6。要注意的有趣的事情是所有比3（素数中最纯正的三位一体）大的素数都是数字6的复数。获得素数的公式是6n+1，N是任意数字，+1是统一体的符号或者是最原始的原因。比如：6*2 = 12 ， 12 – 1= 11 ， 12 + 1 = 13 ， 11 和 13是素数。 6 *3 = 18 ， 18 – 1= 17 ， 18 + 1= 19， 17和19 也是素数。
In Genesis, God creates Adam, the first man, which most likely represents the first sign of the zodiac, Aries. Aries is a masculine fire sign ruled by Mars ♂, which uses the astrological glyph of a male. Eve is created from Adams rib (symbolic of a division from unity and opposites from a common source, i.e. male-female) and is the second person created by God.
在《圣经》的第一章《创世纪》中，上帝创造了第一个人亚当，这非常可能是象征着黄道12宫中的第一宫，白羊座。白羊座是个男性和火性的星座被火星“♂”所统治，这是一个代表男性的占星符号。爱娃从亚当的肋骨中创造出来的（象征着从统一体里分割出的并且和它们共同的来源相对立的事物，也就是雄性和雌性）并且是上帝所创造的第二个人。
The second sign of the zodiac is Taurus, a feminine sign ruled by Venus ♀, which has the glyph of a woman as its symbol. Next we learn that Adam and Eve had relations and that Eve conceived and bore Cain and Abel. The third sign of the zodiac is Gemini, the twins, which is ruled by Mercury. Gemini is a dual sign and is symbolically portrayed in the story of Abel, a good man and keeper of sheep, who was respected by God and his brother Cain, a tiller of the ground who murders his brother.
黄道第二宫是金牛座，是被金星♀所统治的一个阴性星座，并使用了一个代表女性的占星符号♀。之后我们知道亚当和夏娃联姻后夏娃生了该隐和亚伯。黄道第三宫是双子座，代表着相似的一对，由水星统治。双子座是意味着双重征候，并在亚伯的故事中描绘了它的象征性，亚伯是一个尊敬上帝和他兄长该隐的好人牧羊人，而他的兄长农耕者该隐谋杀了他。
This story gives us the first three signs of the zodiac: Adam (^), Eve (_), Cain & Abel (`). It is interesting to note that in Genesis, chapter 5, Generations of Adam to Noah, that Cain and Abel do not appear in Adam’s genealogy, even though it appears that these were his first children.
这个故事给了我们最初的三个黄道宫：亚当（白羊座），爱娃（金牛座），该隐和亚伯（双子座）。需要注意的有趣的是在《创世纪》第5章，亚当到挪亚的世代，在这个世代里该隐和亚伯并没有出现在亚当的家谱里，即使他们明显的是亚当最早的两个孩子。
I believe that Genesis, verse 26 of chapter 1 contains the creation of the zodiac, where God says “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness”. Verse 27: “God created man in his image; in the divine image he created him; male and female he created them”. In verse 26, we find God talking in plural form “let us”, “in our image” and this likely refers to the creation of the entire zodiac.
我相信在《创世纪》第一章26节隐含了黄道十二宫的创立，在这一节中上帝说：“让我们按照我们的形象，创造与我们相似的”。第27节：“上帝按照他的形象创造了人，按照神的形象他创造了人，男人和女人上帝创造了他们”在第26节我们发现上帝按照复数的形式说“让我们”，“按照我们的形象”而这些很可能涉及到整个的黄道十二宫的创立。
We later learn in Genesis chapter 5, that Adam has a son “in his own image, after his likeness” at the age of 130 years. Looking at the zodiac in terms of planetary rulers, we find that the next sign ruled by Mars is Scorpio (the ancients also called this sign the Eagle) at 210-degrees of the circle.
我们研究之后的《创世纪》第5章，亚当在他130岁时，有一个儿子“按照他自己的形象，形像样式和自己相似”。我们用行星法则的术语来审视黄道十二宫，我们找到了另一个被火星守护的星座是位于黄道圆210度的天蝎座（远古时代也称这个星座为鹰座）。
This sign also has Mars’s nature and is in my opinion the birthplace of Seth. In other words, Adam represents a cycle that starts with Mars in Aries and Seth is a cycle that starts with Mars in Scorpio and that is why they writer used the term “in his own image, after his likeness”. Since we know that Adam was 130 years old when Seth was born at 210 degrees of the zodiac, we can divide 210 by 130 in order to determine how long the length of a year is.
这个星座同样有着火星的属性并且在我的认识上，这个星座是塞思（亚当在其130岁所生的儿子）的诞生地。换句话说，亚当象征着一个在白羊座的火星开始的一个轮回周期，而塞思是个在天蝎座的火星开始的一个轮回周期，这就是为什么他们这些圣经作者使用 “按照他自己的形象，形像样式和自己相似”这样一句专用语的原因。因此当我们知道了亚当在130岁时塞思出生在黄道210度位置上，我们就可以用210除130来测定一年时间有多长。
Converting 210 degrees to minutes (multiply by 60) is 12,600 minutes in arc. Note that this value occurs often in the book of Revelations where it is used for days: chapters 11 verse 3 “I will commission my two witnesses to prophesy for those twelve hundred and sixty days, wearing sackcloth”. This shows us that minutes are used and not degrees in calculating biblical days.
在圆弧上将210度转换为分（乘以60）是12600分。注意这个数值经常出现在《启示录》里，在那里被用为天数：“第11章第3节“我要使我那两个见证人穿着毛衣传道一千二百六十天”这就告诉我们圣经上计算天数是使用圆弧的分而不是度。
1260 minutes divided by 130 is equal to 96’ 55.3846” or 1° 36’ 55” and this is equal to one year in the Bible. Note that in the book of Ezekiel, we learn that the Lord appoints a year for a day. One month is therefore one twelfth or 8’ 4.615” and for a day we divide this value by 30 and find 16.154” seconds of arc. Therefore, to locate the birthplaces of the generations of Adam, we simply multiply the given years by 1° 36’ 55” and we can find the places in the zodiac where they begin and die.
1260分除以130等于96’55.3846”或者1°36’55”，这就等于圣经中的一年。注意在《以西节》书里，我们知道了上帝约定说一年等于一天。1个月因此就等于96’55.3846”的1/12也就是8’4.615”，要得到一天的弧度我们用这个数值除以30得到16.154”的弧度值。由此，要测定亚当一家的诞生位置，我们只需要简单的用所给的年数乘以1°36’55”，并且我们能找到他们出生和死亡的时候在黄道所处的位置。
Before beginning any calculations, we must turn the value of 1° 36’ 55” into seconds of arc and obtain 5815.3846”. The log of 5815.3846 is 3.7645784 and this is our fixed value for a year. Genesis chapter 5 verse 3 tells us that the whole lifetime of Adam was 930 years, then he died. The log of 930 is 2.9684829. Adding this to our fixed value for a year (3.7645784) gives 6.7330613; the inverse log of this figure is 5408307” seconds.
在开始任何计算之前，我们必须把1°36’55”换算成弧秒得到5815.3846”。 5815.3846的对数是3.7645784而这个数值就是我们固定的一年的数值。《创世纪》第5章第3节告诉我们亚当活了930岁，之后去世了。930的对数是2.9684829。把这个数加上我们一年的固定数值得到6.7330613，它的反对数是5408307”
Divide by 60 to convert to minutes is 90138’ 20”. Divide again by 60 to get the degrees which is 1502° 18’ 20” from Adams birth at 0° Aries to his death. Removing the 4 circles of 360° leaves us with 62° 18’ 20” which means that Adams death is at 2° 18’ 20” in Gemini.
将它除以60转换为分是90138’20”再除以60转为度是1502°18’20”，从亚当在白羊座0度诞生到他去世的度数。除去4个360度剩下的是62°18’20”，这意味着亚当死于双子座2° 18’ 20”
I will give the births and deaths of the generations of Adam through Noah but I will not show the math involved, as you should be able to work it out yourself from the above explanation. It is also interesting that Cain and Abel do not show up in this part of Genesis, which gives the generations (revolutions) of Adam.
我将给出从亚当到挪亚的一家诞生和去世的位置，但是我不展示数学计算有关的细节了，因为你可以按照上面解释的方法自己计算出来。《创世纪》中只给出了亚当一代人的循环并没有显露出该隐和亚伯的循环，这也很有趣。

闪，含，亚佛出生在射手座23°33’13”，此时挪亚500岁了，这是《创世纪》第5章第32节所记述的。注意：圣经里不让我们知道女人的出生和去世的时间位置，所以这些女人不象征循环。
