God set man's life on the basis of 120 years. (Gen.6.1) Gospel is tagged by 12 while the law of sin and death is 10. The Decalogue for example. Whereas man who is blessed in the Son has passed from condemnation. He is under the Law of the Spirit. so 12x12 helps us understand the word of God-'he who has the Son has the Father also. 1 Jn 2.23
The context in which God set the rule points to the war in heaven and the angelic revolt (Rev.12.7-8) They mingled with daughters of men. Thus the number 10 refers to life of man.
Why did God gave the Decalogue when the Law of the Spirit is expressed in sevens and the Gospel in 12? Man is created in our image. So the Word was with God gives us the word becoming flesh. This distinguishes between 12 for the Son of man while 7 is for the Word. This made clear in the multiplying of loaves. Twice Jesus does one in which the 12 baskets of left over and in the second seven baskets are kept as a testimony. The first instance is for God and his testimony is as that the Son. In the second it is as the word became flesh and testimony for the Law or the Word which was God.
While the Word was God, and the Law set seven days in the everlasting Covenant what was the need for the law of sin and death as the basis for the nation of Israel? As Jesus said, " But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.
37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day."( John 6.36-39)
