 The Number 22
  This number (as many numbers) has two distinct contrasts. As numbers have a positive or negative point, God the Holy Spirit uses this point to teach the searcher of spiritual gems to look at both sides of a single number. First, this number as a whole unit scripturally takes on the meaning of confusion (Babel, Shinar, and Babylon) and disorder, but an intensified disorder. Since the number 11 also means disorder, the number 22 which is the double of 11 symbolizes a severe disorder, and confusion doubled. This is shown through Jeroboam, Ahab, Amon and Abijah rulers over both Israel and Judah. In the following connection to twenty-two, all of these rulers were men of intense evil, pride and corruption.
And the days which Jeroboam reigned were two and twenty years: and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his stead. (1st Kings 14:20)
And in the thirty and eighth year of Asa king of Judah began Ahab the son of Omri to reign over Israel: and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty and two years. (1st Kings 16:29)
Amon [was] twenty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name [was] Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah. (2nd Kings 21:19)
But Abijah waxed mighty, and married fourteen wives, and begat twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters. (2nd Chronicles 13:21)
 When we look at the number 22 not as a unit, but as two single digits joined together, we have the testimony or witness of God strengthened, since the number two (2) is the number of witness and/or testimony. Twenty-two times the word ‘mystery‘ is recorded in the New Testament. There are twenty-two chapters in the last book of the Bible. There are twenty-two letters in the Hebrew alphabet. And there is yet more, the number 22 is built around the single digit of 2 twice, or doubled, or strengthened. Christ is the 2nd Person and associated with the number 2. He is the second Man, the Word.
The first man [is] of the earth, earthy: the second man [is] the Lord from heaven. (1st Corinthians 15:47)
And every one had four faces: the first face [was] the face of a cherub, and the second face [was] the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle. (Ezekiel 10:14)
God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee. (Acts 13:33)
So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. (Hebrews 9:28)
Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. (Hebrews 10:9)
 When centered on Christ then all within this word ‘mystery’ is revealed. God’s revelation was first committed to man through the Hebrew alphabet revealing God’s Center Piece in His Messiah. The twenty-two chapters in the book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ is just THAT: THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST. The single unit of the double digit of 22 (which is confusion intensified) comes to its final end with these words: He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. (Revelation 22:20) The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. (Revelation 22:21) I am assuming that the reason why the Bible ends with the 22nd Chapter and the 21st verse is because there was at that time and is at this time, Christ’s appearance is yet future; therefore, there is no 22nd verse YET!Â
