Now twelve thousand out of each tribe make just the number of a hundred forty and four thousand, Re 7:4<\/span>; 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.<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1) “Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand,”<\/strong> (ek phules zabulon dodeka chiliades) “Out of the family or tribe of Zabulon twelve thousand (were sealed);” his living was by the Mediterranean Sea, a protector of ships and commerce from near Caesarea to Sidon, yet there is more for him and his ahead, Gen 49:13<\/span>; Deu 33:18-19<\/span>.<\/p>\n 2) “Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand,”<\/strong> (ek phules loseph dodeka chiliades) “out of the tribe or family of Joseph twelve thousand (were sealed); he was the betrayed son of Jacob, betrayed of his own brothers, yet he later forgave them and saved their lives, as the rejected Messiah shall do for Joseph and Israel, Gen 49:22-26<\/span>; Deu 33:15-16<\/span>; Act 7:30-38<\/span>.<\/p>\n 3) “Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand,”<\/strong> (ek phules Beniamin dodeka chiliades esphragismenoi) “Out of the tribe of Benjamin there were twelve thousand who were having been sealed; To Jacob’s son-of -consolation (Benjamin), conquest and blessings were pledged and there are yet others for him and his remnant, Gen 49:27<\/span>.
