The Significance of Twelve

Some day GOD is going to literally engulf the whole universe and turn it into the final heaven.  That's why it's called the new heaven and the new earth.  Right now we have an old earth and an old heaven. They have been touched by sin.
They have been marred by the Fall.  In fact, the earth is the dominion of Satan.
The earth is populated by fallen men. (mankind)'

Outer space is populated by fallen demons (angels). And only the third heaven is pristine,  pure, and flawless.  But in the recreation there will be a new heaven and a new earth, this is to say the third heaven will literally engulf the first and second heaven and the earth into the final eternal state and from earth on out to infinity will all be the heaven of heavens.  They'll just be one little pocket somewhere called hell.
But apart from that, everything will engulf itself in the final state called the new heavens and the new earth.

HEAVEN IS A SYMBOL OF INCLUSION AND A SYMBOL OF SAFETY AND A SYMBOL OF PROTECTION AND A SYMBOL OF EXCLUSION IN THAT ALL THAT IS UNWORTHY IS LEFT OUTSIDE!

To sum up the signifcance of twelve:
There are:
twelve gates
twelve angels
twelve tribes
twelve foundations
twelve Apostles,
twelve pearls (adorning the gates)
twelve kinds of fruits (of the Holy Spirit)
twelve furlongs
twelve by twelve cubits (the measurements of the boundaries of Heaven
The twelve gates of Heaven each have a honor guard or angels.
These gates are named after each of the twelve tribes of Israel as well as
the "BRIDE" (otherwise known as the bride of Christ-being the Church
(men and women who love the LORD JESUS)
