Eleven Crowns

The number 11 is a stands for judgment:
1. Incorruptible Crown 1 Cor. 9:24-25:
“Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.”
2. Crown of Rejoicing 1 Thess. 2:19-20:
“For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our L-rd Y’Shua HaMashiach at His coming? For ye are our glory and joy.”
3. Crown of Life James 1:12:
“Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the L-rd hath promised to them that love Him.”
4. Crown of Righteousness 2 Tim. 4:8:
“Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the L-rd, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love His appearing.”
5. Crown of Glory 1 Pet. 5:1-4:
“The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of the Messiah, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: Feed the flock of G-d which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; Neither as being lords over G-d's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock. And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.”
Prov. 16:31 “The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.”
6. Crown of Anointing Oil Lev. 21:12:
“Neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his G-d; for the crown of the anointing oil of his G-d is upon him: I am the L-RD.”
7 & 8. Crown of Wisdom & the Crown of Idiocy Prov. 14:24:
“The crown of the wise is their riches: but the foolishness of fools is folly.”
9. Crown of Pride Isa. 21:1:
“Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty is a fading flower, which are] on the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine!”
10. Crown of Thorns John 19:2:
“And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on His head, and they put on Him a purple robe,”
Part of being “Messiah” like is enduring suffering for His sake.
11. Crown of Twelve Stars Rev. 12:1
“And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:”
The attempt of Satan and his agents to prevent the increase of the church, by devouring her offspring as soon as it was born; of this we have a very lively description in the most proper images. We see how the church is represented in this vision.
A. As a woman, the weaker part of the world, but a spouse of Y’Shua, and the mother of the saints.
B. As clothed with the Son, the imputed righteousness of the L-rd Y’Shua HaMashiach. Having put on the Messiah, who is the Sun of Righteousness, she, by her relation to the Messiah, is invested with honorable rights and privileges, and shines in His rays.
C. As having the moon under her feet (that is, the world); she stands upon it, but lives above it; her heart and hope are not set upon sublunary things, but on the things that are in heaven, where her head is.
D. As having on her head a crown of twelve stars, that is, the doctrine of the gospel preached by the twelve apostles, which is a crown of glory to all true believers.
E. As in travail, crying out, and pained to be delivered. She was pregnant, and now in pain to bring forth a holy descendants to the Messiah, desirous that what was begun in the conviction of sinners might end in their conversion, that when the children were brought to the birth there might be strength to bring forth, and that she might see of the travail of her soul.
Can one loose their crown?
Lam. 5:16 “The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto us that we have sinned!” Or
Job 19:9 “He (Satan) hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.” 0r
Mankind, Rev. 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
We are not only fruit inspectors but also crown gazers, we will know were people are at by which crown they are wearing that we are commanded to hold fast to, save guard that is; may not be have fallen off, broken or stolen from us.
Which crown are you wearing or would like to wear?
May we shine for His glory!!
