— Revelation 12:1 (World English Bible)
Surrounding context
A great sign was seen in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
She was with child. She cried out in pain, laboring to give birth.
Another sign was seen in heaven. Behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven crowns.
His tail drew one third of the stars of the sky, and threw them to the earth. The dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she gave birth he might devour her child.

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."
