I thought I would point out a further consistency (and perhaps an inconsistency) of Ezekiel's land divisions with Revelation.

I assume we are all familiar with the fact that the tribes of Dan and Ephraim which received an alottment of the promised land by Joshua, do not appear in the list of twelve tribes in Revelation 6 - the 144,000 Israelites sealed for God.

Note further, that the alottments prophecied by Ezekiel do match the tribes sealed in Rev 6. Plus, it would appear that the tribes of Dan and Ephraim have been restored. Thus it is possible, that again, God not only preserved a remnant of Israel in Revelation 6, but his promise to Israel includes Dan and Ephraim as well, and collectively they are Ezekiel's tribes who then receive a new alottment in the millennial 'camp of the saints and the beloved city' (Rev 20:9):

Joshua's divison of promised land	Sealed tribes of Revelation 6	Ezekiel's division of holy land
Jos 15:1 Judah	Rev 6:5 ...tribe of Judah, 12,000,	Eze 48:7 ...Judah, one portion.

Jos 19:1 Simeon	Rev 6:7 ...tribe of Simeon 12,000,	Eze 48:24 ...Simeon, one portion.

Yes, that is because of their role in introducing idol worship into Israel (Judges 17-18)

Yes, those tribes are restored in the Millennial reign.

  Hbr 10:8   Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and [offering] for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure [therein]; which are offered by the law;
  
  Hbr 10:9   Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
