"The earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree./And I saw another angel ascending from the east"
Before we go into the significance of the number 12 let us explain what the first two verses present which explains the kingdom of God up and down as well as the world from one end of the heaven to other end. "TheLordsitteth upon the flood; yea, theLordsitteth King for ever." (Ps,29:10)
This is same as the Spirit of God moving upon the face of the waters. In St John's vision we see it represented up and down. "Behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne."(Re.4:3)
"And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God." Here we get an idea what moved upon the face. The Lamb "having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth" supplies specifically the spirit of Christ as the Parable of the Tares teaches the world as a field. "The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;/The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels."(Matt.13:38-39; Re.5:6) Here we have thus kingdom of God up and down as well as across where children of the kingdom stand cheek in jowl with children of the wicked one. In the narrative of Joseph and his brethren, obviously those who sold him to the Ishmeelites were wicked.
After the Ascension of Jesus Christ the angel inform the disciples thus, "Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven."(Ac.1:11) St Paul also confirms it. "He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things." (Ep.4:10-12)
