Hi Cliff: Welcome to the forum! It's believed by many that it was because if their Idolatry. Remember however, this is conjecture. Here is an excerpt from John Gill's Exposition of the whole Bible. --" Re 7:4; the tribe of Dan is not mentioned, it may be because of the apostasy of that tribe, one of Jeroboam's golden calves being set up there; showing that God had no sealed ones of that sort, and instead of him Levi is reckoned; though that tribe had no part in the division of the land of Israel, yet had a part in Christ, and is therefore mentioned in this mystical account. Nor is the name of Ephraim used, it may be for the same reason; there having been a great defection in that tribe from the pure worship of God, and instead of him the name of Joseph appears."-- John Gill God bless John |

True, Ephraim is also absent Hosea 5:9,11 Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be. ... Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the commandment. Hos 6:10 I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel: there is the whoredom of Ephraim, Israel is defiled. 11 Also, O Judah, he hath set an harvest for thee, when I returned the captivity of my people. Hos 7:1 When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they commit falsehood; and the thief cometh in, and the troop of robbers spoileth without. (The "adultries" were following false gods/idols) |

Just an added note: Hosea 5:11b (because he willingly walked after the commandment) is not referring to any commandments given by God; but commandments of man. Indicating Ephraim feared man, and most likely, sought after the approval of man over their fear of God. Something we need to be ever so careful not to do, by the way. :-) God bless John |
