Bible Question: Why is Dan, one of the 12 sons of Jacob listed in Genesis not mentioned in the book of Revelations when the 12 tribes are mentions but leave out Dan? |
Bible Answer: 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 |
