What does 11:11 mean?

July 9th, 2009 by Jim Driscoll

Have you ever wondered what it means to see 11:11 repeatedly on the clock?

Whenever you repeatedly see a double or triple number, God is confirming it to you. Talk to Him about it and search out what He’s saying.

The number 11 commonly means transition or prophetic. So when you see a double 11 like this, God could be saying that you’re going through a transition or that He is about to release more of the prophetic in your life. It could also mean that He’s going to use you to initiate transition in other people’s lives. These are the more common meanings of 11:11.

There may be times when you see that number, and you’ll sense that God is saying something other than transition or prophetic. In those times, it could be that He is drawing your attention to chapter 11 and verse 11 of a book in the Bible.

    I just saw your posting about seeing times in ascending or descending order, i.e. 11:11, 2:22, 3:33, 4:44, 5:55. I have been experiencing the same exact thing for what must be months now on a daily basis! I have not known what in the world could be causing me to look at a clock at that those moments. It has gotten so crazy, really, that I have found myself texting the time to my husband just to prove that it’s really happening. It really is the strangest thing. Did it ever go away for you? I see you wrote your post months ago now.

    @Tonja
    Also in seeing the time that you mention and that you automatically turn and text your Husband. Your Husband is included with this, You both are to be taken together to accomplish much. Walk together in this make sure that each of you follow along closely. Help each other to maintain the close walk. Communicate everything with each other. Don’t let nothing out.or the fallen one will try to find a weak spot to temp one or the other anyway from this.
    It is a direction…..

    @rose
    Wait on the Lord and meditate on Him as though you are walking in a Garden early in the morning, alone. He is wanting to meet you there. He has the peace that you are looking for. It will soften your heart, It will take the cares of this world away from you. People will notice the difference in you from the very first time you go there.
    You will gain the Wisdom and the knowledge on how to use this Wisdom. Go to the Garden in your mines eye. Seek the peace that comes with it also. He will manifest Himself to you and Love will conquer all….

    It is God showing you He’s there for you. It should make you smile. It is the knowing of His presents, He’s there.
    And when you can pray, Pray in the spirit to Him. You’ll notice the love of God over shadowing your life and peace will enter. Turn towards Him and He will turn much towards you. Go.
    Talk with you Mother more about your walk with the Father and what Jesus means to you.Tell her how many times you’ve seen His revealing present each day. Keep a journal. All this will help your Mother too…

    Michael

    P.S. Also so you will start to see Flashes of white light either in the corner of your eye or in front of you, as if a refection of light from a car window flickered pasted by. Consequently you’ll see black objects close to the floor or ground. Don’t be afraid of this. You carry the light of God ( His Spirit) in you and Light always, always chases the darkness away…

    I mentioned in an earlier note the many occurrances of 11 11, from mileage on our car, length of phonce calls, etc. However another instace occurred when coming home from a regional prophetic gathering last month. My friends car clock read 11:11 p.m. at the exact moment she arrived back home and I left to get into my onw car to head home. Next, our car indicates the outside temperature when it’s turned on and it indicated 111 degrees just before it shifted to read the accurate outside temp. Now both of those definitelu caught my attention.

  9. Connie E says:

    Just another comment; the other day I had 55.5 miles on my trip meter on the car and it was 5:55 p.m. Is 5 the number of grace?

  10. kris says:

    i see the number 137 all the time, since i was a kid, i see it 317,713,317 now that i am married my husband sees it.

  11. Loraine says:

    As I was reading all the comments, I felt as though the L-rd was telling me the number 1 was for Him and repeating it 4 times such as 11:11 means he is everywhere (North-South-East-West). I see 11:11 and 1:11 quite often. Sometimes I see
    2:11, 3:11, 4:11 or 10-11. I have noticed that people born on the 11th day of the month seem to have a special anointing on their lives. Years ago I used to see 4:07 frequently. This is my birthday, and it adds up to 11. I believe the number 11:11 is the L-rd’s way of getting our attention. It is a call to intercession (pray without ceasing). I believe it can signify a transitional period of your life.

  12. David says:

    Started to be woken in the night at 3:33 maybe 5 yrs ago. Then see it during the day, moved onto 111 222 etc also 10:10 11:11 etc not found the answer but its interesting others having the same. God has a plan it will happen in His time perhaps He is getting our attention and we will know it when He reveals more to us. Just my thoughts I have asked Him to use me perhaps He is answering us,
    I prayer. David

  13. Margie Glenn says:

    So if the number 9=Finality and 11=Transition, it would make sense about what the 9/11 terrorist attack did to America. We seem to be in a final transition.

  14. Vivian says:

    My Daughter in law has been seeing 9:11 for a few years now. and her life has taken a ugly turn. God help her. please can you tell me what it means
    Love & Blessing…

  15. christine says:

    @Rajane’ Jones
    I dont know what it means but she not the only one its been at least 4 years and i keep seeing it more and more help us god what does this mean………

  16. Cynthia says:

    I too since my salvation 3 years ago see on the clock 9:11. Also…he showed me what was in the darkness on 1-09 and on 01-11-2007 he filled me with His Holy Spirit! I am always noticing the time at 11 minutes after the hour. Once I was talking on the phone to a man trying to convince him that Jesus was the only way. My attention turned to the time and it was 10:11. The Lord said go to Jeremiah 10:11 concerning this conversation I was having. Father in the name of Jesus we all ask for more revelation and understanding from you! Show us your ways oh Lord.

  17. David says:

    Hello friends, isn’t it weird how I’ve seen this number 11:11 and my nationality is asian. I wonder if anyone of you seen this message also. Several times while driving to work in the morning, I will see the city lights either turn off or turn on. I begain to notice this lighting quite some time now. I definitely know its a good sign and that “GOD” do love us. Another instance is while I was hunting during “Mn opener” deer hunting, I think in my mind that I hope i get to see a deer underneath my treestand and surely it did come and it was a 8 point buck, I shot it twice and it didn’t die but you know during that time while he was walking towards my stand, he uses his hind feet to scratched his nose right in front of me, I know “God” loves us very much so hey guys, don’t give up on our LORD and Savior, all of us ARE the CHOSEN ONE. So have FAITH on our dreams and pray for one another.

  18. Linda says:

    WOW! I happened on this site while searching for how to work with my prophetic-seer/apostolic gifting. I have had a difficult time accepting that a person would do that but tired of people looking at me like I am weird or afraid of me like I would know something about them or ?? I want to serve the Lord with this so I am choosing to search out how to use and develop it.

    While looking for that I found this on the numbers. This is exactly what my granddaughter was just telling me the other night when the car clock turned to 11:11 pm! She said that happens all the time to her and she can’t figure it out. She was born March 11th and was a miracle baby. Her Mom was miscarrying her and didn’t even know she was pregnant. I read an article 2 weeks before this happened about using progesterone to stop miscarriages. A Dr. prescribed it immediately (no questions, no office visit) and this girl became the 4th child in a family of 3 sons!

    One day while sitting in front of me (she was about 8 yrs old) she saw a vision and told me that when I am very old and almost dead that Jesus is coming back. That was 2003. I am 58 yrs old now.

    Does prophetic gifting run in families? It does in mine.

    @David
    I have been looked at the clock at 3.33 exactly during the night often for about 8 or 9 years. One of the first times I noticed it was after our grandaughter, then 6 mths old had a terrible accident stopped breathing and was revived after 25mins not breathing. She was healed of many effects, but not yet manifesting complete healing of motor movements. When we were driving from the hospital in early hour of the morning. a large clock on a building showed 3.33. All a big mystery to me.

    Ok so my bday is 11.11 and every since ’08 I have been seeing 11:11 everywhere not just on the clock but in different classes on papers everywhere do you guys think this means any thing? Or is it just coincidence?

  25. Autumn says:

    One day last month, Beginning in the afternoon, I noticed the digital clock read 3:33. I like the number – it reminds me of Jeremiah 33:3. Then, sleeping that night, I awoke, looked at the clock, it read 1:11am. I awoke again- got up to drink water – laid down – and I felt totally awake. I wondered why I was so wakeful, I looked at the digital clock, it read 2:22am. In the morning, when I finally got up, I reviewed the clock reading occurrence – and wondered what it indicated. Surely it indicates something!! Then, in the afternoon, I finished getting ready to leave for a ministry assignment, only to look at a digital clock, which read 2:22pm.
    It was an usual series of numbers 1-2-3, but out of order, being: 3:33, 1:11, 2:22 (3-1-2). The 2:22 repeating within 12 hours is interesting. After several days, a friend in ministry and I had the sense that God was emphasizing that He knows how to ORDER as He will, and that it certainly spoke of God ordering timing on our behalf. Mostly – God is so awesome in such ways toward His people.

  26. Helen says:

    A few years ago I started seeing “22″ everywhere. God started speaking to me through Isaiah 22:22. However, I continued to see 22 everywhere, especially on the clock 12:22, 1:22, 2:22. etc. A friend suggested that I look up the meaning of 22. It means light as does my name, Helen. So in a sense 22 means Helen. That was really cool but it didn’t stop me from seeing the numbers constantly. I was getting so tired of seeing this that I finally asked Jesus about it. He told me, “I just want you to know that I think about you every hour of every day.”. Wow! every hour, every second, every nanosecond–I know that I’m on his heart. Now I see it and think “22-I love you”. It totally changed my life!

  27. The Call of 111, 222, 333, 444, 555
    (New International Version)

    111

    Jeremiah 1:11
    11 The word of the LORD came to me: “What do you see, Jeremiah?”
    “I see the branch of an almond tree,” I replied.
    12 The LORD said to me, “You have seen correctly, for I am watching [b] to see that my word is fulfilled.”

    [[This is where Jeremiah is called, and he says he is a youth – yet the Lord tells him he has appointed him as a Prophet to the Nations!]]

    ** Praying the word, so that the word can be fulfilled. Speaking when God wants us to speak. Not saying that we are just babies in the Lord. We must be available vessels, and obedient. Simple as that. Repeat your dreams back to God, and he will clarify through the word.

    222
    Daniel 2:22

    22 He reveals deep and hidden things;
    he knows what lies in darkness,
    and light dwells with him.

    ** God wants to speak the deep things. Hidden things, that we do not know. That others do not know. Wisdom beyond ourselves. There is darkness, but God knows what lies there, and we can focus on it, or we can instead focus on the light of the Lord, which dispels the darkness.

    333
    Jeremiah 3:33
    3 ‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’
    ***The secrets to the warfare in the Kingdom is to call on the Lord, and expect him to tell you. Then ACT accordingly. Pray, Intercede, and wait to be released into action upon that word.

    David: Ephesians 2,3,4

    444
    Isaiah 4:4
    4 The Lord will wash away the filth of the women of Zion; he will cleanse the bloodstains from Jerusalem by a spirit [a] of judgment and a spirit [b] of fire.

    *** The Lord has been speaking of the spirit of judgment! And the Spirit of Fire. The dross is burned off, the cleansing purification of fire. This is a healthy process for the saved, and a painful experience for the unsaved.
    Malachi 4: The Day of the LORD
    1 “Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and that day that is coming will set them on fire,” says the LORD Almighty. “Not a root or a branch will be left to them. 2 But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall. 3 Then you will trample down the wicked; they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I do these things,” says the LORD Almighty.
    4 “Remember the law of my servant Moses, the decrees and laws I gave him at Horeb for all Israel.
    5 “See, I will send you the prophet Elijah before that great and dreadful day of the LORD comes. 6 He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers; or else I will come and strike the land with a curse.”

    Revelation 4: The Throne in Heaven
    1After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” 2At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it. 3And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and carnelian. A rainbow, resembling an emerald, encircled the throne. 4Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders. They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads. 5From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder. Before the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven spirits[a] of God. 6Also before the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal.
    In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, and they were covered with eyes, in front and in back. 7The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle. 8Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under his wings. Day and night they never stop saying: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come.” 9Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives for ever and ever, 10the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne, and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say:
    11″You are worthy, our Lord and God,
    to receive glory and honor and power,
    for you created all things,
    and by your will they were created
    and have their being.”

    555

    Titus 1:5 Titus’ Task on Crete
    5 The reason I left you in Crete was that you might straighten out what was left unfinished and appoint[a] elders in every town, as I directed you.
    Titus 2:5
    5 to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.
    Titus 3:5
    5 he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit,

    *** This was the Lord encouraging me, during a time when I was removed from a great house of worship, and had to return to a place I did not want to. It had to do with unity in the family, and remaining with spouse – regardless of shortcomings, and lack of growth. God showed me during this time, that Christian marriages (all marriages) were under attach, and many were deserting their covenant and thinking they had succeeded in their suffering and were released to split their marriage and take half of the possessions of their marriage. They left and thought they were victorious! Having freedom and money, and the blessing of the Lord.

    ***However, God had showed me during this time, that those who take that path have their reward on this earth. Those who stay in their covenant are covenant keepers, and God would use those faithful ones in the Kingdom for great things. This was part of the judgement and fire process! Many are judged for infidelity and/or faithfulness to their covenants.

    ***Staying in your covenant marriage – regardless of pain and suffering, and having to sacrifice comes with promotion.

    [[And then we were relocated to IOWA]] Promotion! Our Marriage was restored, and we are moving in unity.

    My adventure with multiple # began about 10 years ago now. I have loved it from the very beginning and always thought it was just God/Holy Spirit just saying “Hey there, I am aware of you”. As the years have gone on, and I have realized that many people are experiencing this phenominon, I realize God is indeed getting our attention and letting us know He is aware of us in every detail. Early on in this journey, I had a 24hour clock and this made for multiple multiple #’s throughout my day. 12:12, 15:15, 4:44, 2:22, and the list goes on. I loved when Id get 22:22. At the beginning 11:11, 15:15, and 22:22 were my most common. However as the years progress it has graduated from the digital clock to my odometer, and also my CD tracking #’s on the car player. For example song 1 1:11 minutes 11 seconds. 1 1:11:11. Just “crazy”!!!

    I have had many references to scriptures, some seem to fit, some not so much, however doesn’t make me think it is not just God enjoying me and me Him. He loves me and all of us enough to have the eye shift to the clock at these certain times. It is exciting to see that He is doing this on such a far reaching level. For me my mother and brother experience it and started about 5-7years ago for them, and now my best friend and I send texts and email with the times. Also I found that while dating this one man, he began to experience this as I would text him as it happened. He soon began texting me as it happened to him trhoughout the day. I love it!!!!!!!!!! Well that’s my cool story. I am so excited and encouraged to see so many posts on this subject. God Bless…All!

    My mother, sister and myself started seeing 3:33 on the clock months ago. Then it changed to 1:11. everytime we turned around. clocks and cell phones. sometimes at the exact moment. then it changed to 10:10. and now it’s 11:11. all the time. God causes us to look at the clock at 11:11 a.m and p.m. i even had a dream that i woke up to look at the clock at 11:11 pm. I said (in the dream) look lord it’s 11:11 again. then all of a sudden the time changed to 11:12,11:13 then to 11: 15 in a matter of seconds. like time is accelerated. Been seeking after him in the scriptures to find out what he’s saying. no answer yet.

  30. God has been giving me 444 for about 2 years now. I understand that 4 in the Bible often refers to earthly things, i.e. 4 winds, 4 seasons, 4 rivers, 4-legged animals, etc. I have been seeking and believing the Lord for a couple of very big miracles and moves of God for the past 4 years. For me personally, I believe He is indicating, “On earth as it is in heaven,” that yes, these things have been released in the spirit realm and will be made manifest and complete on earth in a process over time.

  31. Patti says:

    I have seen the number 11:11 and 4:44 for years. On clocks and even on a taxi cabs with the number 444-1111 as their phone number. After many years of asking what this means, I believe personally to me, it refers to Isaiah 11:11 that says, “On that day I will bring you out a second time by My hand.” 4:44 refers to Psalms 44:4 “You are my King, O God; Command victories for Jacob (or insert your name).

  32. Denise says:

    I have seen 11:11 alot too. For me it means time of great transition and change. 9:11for me means psalms 91:11. 10:10 for me is John 10:10. 2:22for me is multiplication. My husband and i had twin boys TWO years to the day we were married! Its great to know other people see numbers too! Im happy to know someone else understands!

  33. Christy says:

    I’ve been seeing this for years now, but especially the last three years. Mostly 1:11, 12:22, 2:22, 3:33, 4:44, and 5:55. Also 22:22(which is the key of David). But also 1:23, 12:34, 2:34, and 3:21. I also see 11:11 and multiples of 11s often.
    10:10 is fairly common too -John 10:10-He promised us life and life abundant!! :)

    I’ve talked with lots of people who see are seeing the same numbers. It seems to be quite common.

    For me it is extremely personal. I have a long story connected with it, but the #3:33 used to cause me pain whenever I saw it, and God redeemed it by giving me a new number, 2:22. 2 is the # of covenant love. Many many times I’ve seen 2:22 when I’ve needed encouragement, when I’ve been down or sad about something. I’ve seen it on clocks, odometers, phone numbers, the total for grocery bills or grocery items, all over the place! A day doesn’t go by that I don’t see it.

    One time in particular stands out. I was at work, I used to clean a beautiful 1930s performance theatre. i was blasting the stereo and was upstairs in the balcony cleaning when the song started skipping. I didnt want to run all the way downstairs and hoped it would just stop skipping. After a while I noticed how the sound was quite pleasant. I used to pray over the theatre that God would release the sounds of heaven and it would change the atmosphere over our city. Anyway, I didnt get downstairs to hit the ‘next’ button on the stereo for a good 5 minutes or so. Finally I ran down to do it. As I was reaching out to hit the button I noticed the song was skipping on the time 2:22! THEN it gets even more fun! :) My finger was a 1/4 of an inch away from the button when all of the sudden the song STOPPED skipping and kept right on playing without another skip! THAT got my attention! I actually burst into tears that God would go through that much trouble to get my attention and let me know that he hears my prayers, that I am loved and that He is with me!! There is more to it but I’ll leave it at that for now.:)

    I’ve had amazing encounters with Gods love as a result of seeing these numbers. SOme of my favorite verses attached:

    Daniel 2:22 – He reveals deep and hidden things. He knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with Him. (God reveals His hidden mysteries to us!!)

    Rev 22:2 the tree of life- fruit all year round and leaves for the healing of the nations!

    Jeremiah 33:3 ‘Call to me and I will answer you, and I will tell you deep and hidden things that you have not known’.

    Isaiah 22:22 Key of David

    He loves us SOOO much!! Beyond measure, beyond understanding.

    WOW, finally I have found someone else that has experienced this. for several years Ihave been woken up and seen 333 first. then all the others followed111, 222,444 555. I then started seeing walmart signs with prices that said 777. 555, 333. Ithen began to see them on my clock in the car. my grandkids started seeing them also. Then I would get behind a car and the car plates would say 333.444.555. Ihave felt that this may mean something for endtimes. because some of these numbers are in revelations. My mother and me were going to a bennyhinn crusade in columbus ohio. we had scheduled the trip several months in advance. my mother had breast cancer. when finally the date arrived for us to go but my mother was very weak. so I began to pray to God I asked him if we should go at this time my friend was battling a drug addiction, she was trying to fight the addiction. with many years of prayers for her I believe God set this trip up.I asked God if we should go He told me yes you are to go and cathy my friend was to get up on the platform and testify to thousands how I have delivered her from crack cocaine. so I mentioned this to my friend so she said well if you say God said it lets go. so .Ihad mentioned to my friend how I had been seeing these numbers alot so she was aware of that. so on the way to columbus we got behind a car and the plates said 444 I said see I told you. then when we got to our motel I noticed our room was on the second floor and there was no elevator my mother had oxygen and it was hard for her to walk up the stairs well I tried to change our room to the bottom floor but it was not possible .we finally got her up to the room when I went to open the door the room# was 222. I got all chocked up.you could feel God move on every circumstance .we called for a cab to go to scottenstein center the phone # was 777-7777. then when we were in our car later the clock went to 333. long story short out of thousands of people my friend was called to the platform to be prayed for .God moved so much for us you could see everthing change for our favor.

    I have enjoy the responses of all the numbers that you all a have encountered. I to have seen the numbers 11:11, (3:33) was the first time. It would worry me when I saw 11:11 but now I am learning more about this number and more numbers. I its wonderful to know that God can communicate with us through numbers and show the love he has for us. Its a wonderful feeling to be loved By God unconditionally. Thank you for your comments they helped me a lot. You be blessed.

  36. yvonne says:

    My boyfriend saw the number 137, in many different ways, in one day. I also witnessed this. It didnt happen again. 137 days from that day, was his Birthday. He died 9 days later. I know there was a significance to this number, as it happened all day, just one day.

  37. ickyo says:
