I know that we talked about it before but I can not find the thread. My memory leaves a bit to be desired. So anyway...Does anyone know why Dan was not included in Revelations 7 among the 12 tribes. I know Dan was guilty of idolatry but Reuben was not counted I thought for defiling His fathers bed. I know Levi was not given land because of the priesthood, so this in Rev 7 clearly diff. Also Ephraim is missing or at least is not mentioned specifically like Manasseh. Thank you for your time and patience.
God Bless you all.
Gen 49:16 Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
Gen 49:17 Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward.
Gen 49:18 I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD.
Dan is not void of being able to have salvation at this time, for the tribe can be saved as well as anybody else.
Eze 39:21 And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.
Eze 39:22 So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward.
Eze 39:23 And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.
Eze 39:24 According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.
Eze 39:25 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name;
Eze 39:26 After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid.
Eze 39:27 When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;
Eze 39:28 Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.
Eze 39:29 Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.
God is bringing the whole house of Israel, all 12 tribes back to Israel, which includes Dan, and leave none of them in the nations anymore, and restore the kingdom to Israel which they shall always be in the truth with God from that time forward, which started when Israel became a nation again, and will be completed when the man of sin, New Age Christ, establishes peace in the Middle East, which will pave the way for all Jews to go to Israel, for the Gentile nations will see to it, and the man of sin wants them all back on their land so he can claim to be their God and Messiah, but God means it for good towards the Jews.
Rev 21:12 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
Rev 21:13 On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
Rev 21:14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
The 12 tribes of the children of Israel, and 12 apostles of the Lamb, are written in the New Jerusalem, so the 12 tribes here probably include Dan because they are the 12 children of Israel, Jacob, where Manasseh is a child of Joseph, a child of Jacob.
So why is Dan not included in the 12 tribes in Revelation 7, for is it because the tribe introduced Israel to idolatry as some say, or is there more to it than that.
Rth 4:21 And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,
Rth 4:22 And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.
Boaz married Ruth, a woman from Moab, a Gentile, so David has Gentile blood, but why would God allow Gentile blood to be mingled in with Jewish blood.
Psa 132:11 The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.
David's throne would be established forever, and the man Christ, whose deity is God, would take over the throne of David, and sit upon it in the millennial reign of Christ, and sit on the throne in the New Jerusalem forever.
Did God allow a Gentile woman to mingle her blood in with Jewish blood, so David had Jewish blood, who was of the tribe of Judah, and Jesus was of the tribe of Judah, and would take over the throne of David, so that salvation could also come upon the Gentiles as well as the Jews.
Manasseh is a son of Joseph, and is a Gentile, and a Jew, for his mother was Gentile, so is it the same reason here that Gentile blood was included in with the Jews, the 144,000, because the millennial reign of Christ will be both Jew, and Gentile, who are with Jesus, ruling along with Him over the heathen that God spared at the battle of Armageddon.
So is it that Gentile blood had to be mingled with Jewish blood so salvation could come upon Gentiles, and Manasseh had to be included with the 144,000 so Gentiles could rule in the millennial reign along with the Jews with Jesus.
And Dan was the likely choice to be omitted here concerning the millennial reign on earth, but in the New Jerusalem Dan included with the 12 tribes of the children of Israel, for the Gentiles are now out of the flesh, and have a glorified body, so they do not need a representative such as Ruth, or Manasseh, concerning the physical realm, the earth.
