Thank you for posting this Pastor.
Remember this day all those people who perished on 9/11.
I had a friend who died in the Pentagon that day.
God bless you and yours.
Interesting idea about the names of the Twelve Tribes in Revelation vs. their Birth Order.
Some teachers have posited that Dan and Ephraim were off the list because they had committed the sin of idolatry. However, ALL the Tribes did that at one time or another.
Since the Last Judgement is very much a part of the Book of Revelation, and the Judge will be Jesus (and no other!), is it possible that the name of “Dan” doesn’t appear because “Dan” means “Judge”? I know that doesn’t explain the elimination of Ephraim.
It also doesn’t match up with the distribution of the Holy Lands beyond the Jordan when 2 and a half tribes decided to settle EAST of the River. (Numbers 32, Reuben, Gad, and part of Manasseh).
I found your ideas on this interesting.
Thanks!
What happened to Dan?
