The three series of fourteens divide the generations into three distinct periods, by beginning and ending four significant points of time (Abraham; King David; Babylonian Exile; Messiah) thereby noting three beginning points and three end points (the middle two points, by overlapping periods, function doubly as end points and beginning points).
The 144,000 (Rev. 7:4; 14:1, 3) are the multiples of 12 x 12 x 10 x 10 x 10, a symbolic number that signifies the total number (tens) of the people of God (twelves). The 12,000 stadia (12 x 10 x 10 x 10) of the walls of the New Jerusalem in Rev. 21:16 represent an immense city that can house the total number (tens) of God's people (twelves).
The original text was written in Koine Greek. This chapter is divided into 14 verses in most Bible versions, but 13 verses in some versions, e.g. the Vulgate, Douay-Rheims Version and Jerusalem Bible, where verses 12 and 13 are combined as verse 12 and the final verse is numbered as verse 13.
These references represent a period of 1260 days (based on the 360 day Jewish year multiplied by 3.5). [4] Divide 1,260 days by 42 months and you will get a 30-day month, as 12 months of 30 days equals 360-days in a year These time periods occur ten times in scripture: Daniel 7:25, "time, times and a half". Daniel 9:27, "half one set of seven".

Longer nights were split into four. The fourth watch, then, went from about the tenth hour of the night, until the end of the twelfth.
Four bags with three marbles per bag gives twelve marbles (4 × 3 = 12). Multiplication can also be thought of as scaling. Here, 2 is being multiplied by 3 using scaling, giving 6 as a result. Animation for the multiplication 2 × 3 = 6 4 × 5 = 20. The large rectangle is made up of 20 squares, each 1 unit by 1 unit.
