Before the sun, the light, the moon, and the stars are darkened, and the clouds return after the rain;
in the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those who look out of the windows are darkened,
and the doors shall be shut in the street; when the sound of the grinding is low, and one shall rise up at the voice of a bird, and all the daughters of music shall be brought low;

Biblical perspective
What does 1212 mean in the Bible?
The number 12 is deeply significant in the Bible — 12 tribes of Israel, 12 apostles — but 1212 as a repeating sign isn't a biblical concept. What the Bible says about wholeness and community is far richer.
1 Corinthians 12:12 is a direct verse about unity and the body of Christ — 12 appearing twice in the reference itself.
1 Corinthians 12:12
"For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ."
Revelation 21:12
"It had a great and high wall; with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel."
