If we look at Rev 7 and we focus on the order the tribes are in, we see they are in a specific order, not found anywhere else in the scriptures. We see from the names that the author John is focusing on the first born.
Rev 7:1 And after this I saw four messengers standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
Rev 7:2 And I saw another messenger coming up from the rising of the sun, holding the seal of the living Elohim. And he cried with a loud voice to the four messengers to whom it was given to harm the earth and the sea,
Rev 7:3 saying, “Do not harm the earth, nor the sea, nor the trees until we have sealed the servants of our Elohim upon their foreheads.”1 Footnote: 1See 9:4, 14:1, 22:4.
Rev 7:4 And I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred and forty-four thousand, sealed out of all the tribes of the children of Yisra’ĕl:
Rev 7:5 of the tribe of Yehuḏah twelve thousand were sealed, of the tribe of Re’uḇĕn twelve thousand were sealed, of the tribe of Gaḏ twelve thousand were sealed,
Rev 7:6 of the tribe of Ashĕr twelve thousand were sealed, of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand were sealed, of the tribe of Menashsheh twelve thousand were sealed,
Rev 7:7 of the tribe of Shimʽon twelve thousand were sealed, of the tribe of Lĕwi twelve thousand were sealed, of the tribe of Yissasḵar twelve thousand were sealed,
Rev 7:8 of the tribe of Zeḇulun twelve thousand were sealed, of the tribe of Yosĕph twelve thousand were sealed, of the tribe of Binyamin twelve thousand were sealed.
We also see that Dan is left out. What does the name Dan mean? Dan means to Judge. Many people for so long have thought that this meant that anyone in the entire tribe of Dan would be left out. This is not the case. So if we judge the order and the meanings of the names of the tribes, there is a great message here. Similar to what was in Gen with the first seven names and the meanings of their names. Let us take a look and examine them here.
Judah = Praise Yah or Let Yah be praised.
Reuben= See a nation or to see a nation.
Gad = assembled or overcome,
Asher = Happy,
Naphtali= Struggle or their struggle,
Manasseh = Forgotten or removed, so was not forgotten or has been removed,
Simeon= hearing and obeying or hearing the trumpet, Levi = Joined or joined together,
Issachar = Reward, to the reward or he will bring them a reward,
Zebulun= of my Habitation or to dwell with me, Joseph = adding or in addition to the,
Benjamin= Son of the right hand.....
Geneses Secret Message
The first 12 names of the bible in Gen show the plan for mankind.
Man is appointed sorrow, the blessed Elohim Shall come down teaching; his death shall bring the long after rest.
Adam = Man
Seth= appointed
Enosh = Mortal
Kenan = sorrow
Mahalgel = the blessed Elohim.
Jared = shall come down
Enoch = teaching
Methal = his death shall bring
Lamach = the long after
Noah = Rest
