Bible Answer: Nob, You're correct in your belief. Dan is not mentioned in Revelation 7, but then again neither is Ephraim. Both Dan and Ephraim are noted for idolatry (Jdg 18:18,19; 1 Ki 12:29-30; Hos 4:17) and this probably explains why they are not included in the list that is selected and sealed by God. However, this does not mean they are forgotten or out of God's grace. Ezekiel 48 deals with the restoration, which makes the events in it coming AFTER the events of Rev 7. So there is no mistake here. Due to their past wickedness, none were to be selected and sealed from Dan (or Ephraim) in Rev 7, but after the restoration of all things, God forgives and grace shines upon Dan AND Ephraim once again. If anything, this is a show of God's great grace and love, it is hardly a 'mistake'. Take care, SUEDE |
