What does 11:11 mean in the Bible?

Answer  
  

A popular [superstition](superstitions.html) involves the number *11*, which in numerology is a “Master Number” signifying spiritual awareness or psychic intuition. When the number is doubled, as in *11:11*, it holds even more supposed power. It’s why some people make a wish when the time is 11:11 and why some who are born on November 11 (11/11\) consider themselves lucky or gifted. In [New Age](new-age-movement.html) thinking, *11* is an “[angel number](angel-numbers.html),” and seeing *11:11* means that angels are close by. The idea that *11:11* holds some special power or significance comes straight from [fortune\-telling](psychics-Christian.html), [astrology](astrology-Bible.html), and the occult; nevertheless, some people attempt to use the superstition in interpreting the Bible. In truth, there is no inherent significance to *11:11*, either in daily life or in the message of the Bible.  
  

  

Some attempt to derive meaning from *11:11* through Bible verses corresponding to that pattern. Followers of [numerology](Biblical-numerology.html) may look for hidden messages when reading Genesis 11:11, Exodus 11:11, Matthew 11:11, Mark 11:11, etc. First and foremost, this practice ignores the fact that [chapter and verse divisions](divided-Bible-chapters-verses.html) were not part of the original biblical manuscripts. Moses, Matthew, Mark, and the other biblical authors would not have associated any particular set of words with *11:11* when they wrote. Further, it’s not God’s habit to hide secret messages in the Bible.  
  

Claims about *11:11* are connected to ideas like vibrations, [synchronicity](synchronicity.html), and superstition, but there is nothing of spiritual significance concerning *11:11*.
