Bible Question: Why in Revelation 7:4-10 does the list of the 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel not list the tribe of Dan? Is this just one of the mysteries of the Bible that has no clear answer yet? |
Bible Answer: Scripture ... Gen 49:17; Jud 17:1-18:31; 1 Ki 12:28-29; 1Ch 4-8; Eze 48; Hos 4:17, 7:1-16; Amo 8:11-14 ... God's day to you, findrichard, and welcome to the SBF, Not only is the tribe of Dan missing, but so is the tribe of Ephraim. Manasseh, Joseph and Levi are listed. Ephraim and Dan were idolaters (Jud 17:1-18:31, Hos 4:17, 7:1-16; Amo 8:11-14). Dan is the site of an idolatrous 1 Ki 12:28-29 It is interesting that Dan is omitted from the genealogies (1Ch 4-8). In Ezekiel 48, Ephraim is only listed in Division of the Land (vv 5-6), but not elsewhere. Some think Genesis 49:17 says Dan is an image of Satan, because of serpent ... but Ephraim is also not in the Final 12. This is only a guess, Searcher |
