From the tribe of Judah The tribe of Judah holds significant prominence in biblical history. The name "Judah" comes from the Hebrew "Yehudah," meaning "praise." Judah was the fourth son of Jacob and Leah, and his tribe became the leading tribe of Israel. Historically, Judah is the tribe from which King David and, ultimately, Jesus Christ descended, fulfilling the prophecy of the Messiah coming from the line of David. This mention in Revelation underscores the fulfillment of God's promises and the centrality of Judah in His redemptive plan. 12,000 were sealed from the tribe of Reuben from the tribe of Gad Persons / Places / Events 1. Tribe of JudahJudah is one of the twelve tribes of Israel, known for its leadership and royal lineage, including King David and Jesus Christ. The tribe is often associated with praise and strength. 2. Tribe of Reuben Reuben is the firstborn son of Jacob, and his tribe is known for its historical significance and initial leadership role among the tribes of Israel. 3. Tribe of Gad Gad is one of the tribes of Israel, known for its warriors and strategic location east of the Jordan River. 4. Sealing of the 144,000 This event involves the marking of 12,000 individuals from each of the twelve tribes of Israel, symbolizing protection and divine ownership. 5. The Vision of John The Apostle John receives this vision while exiled on the island of Patmos, providing a glimpse into the spiritual realities and future events. Teaching Points Divine Protection and OwnershipThe sealing of the tribes signifies God's protection and ownership over His people. Believers today can find assurance in God's promise to protect and preserve them spiritually. Significance of Tribes Each tribe has unique characteristics and roles in God's plan. This diversity within unity can inspire believers to appreciate their unique gifts and roles within the body of Christ. Faithfulness and Obedience The sealing of the 144,000 highlights the importance of faithfulness and obedience to God. Believers are called to remain steadfast in their faith, even amidst trials. Hope in Prophecy The vision given to John provides hope and assurance of God's ultimate plan for His people. Christians can find encouragement in the certainty of God's promises and His sovereign control over history.Verse 5. - Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. There are various lists of the tribes in the Old Testament, no two of which present the same names in the same order. It does not seem probable that any special design underlies the selection and arrangement here. First, with regard to the selection, we observe that Dan and Ephraim are omitted, the number being completed by inserting Levi, Joseph, and Manasseh. Although Ephraim and Manasseh are sometimes inserted instead of Joseph and Levi, and sometimes omitted, there seems only one example of a list in which any one of the others is omitted, viz. that in Deuteronomy 33, where no mention is made of Simeon. It has been thought that Simeon was purposely passed over by Moses on account of his ill conduct (see Genesis 34.) - conduct for which, unlike Levi, he afterwards made no sufficient atonement. This has led many commentators (Hengstenberg, Wordsworth, etc.) to conclude that Dan finds no place here because of the idolatrous worship of the tribe (Judges 18.). Many ancient writers (Bede, Andreas, etc.) account, somewhat similarly, for the omission by supposing that, in accordance with a very commonly received opinion, antichrist would arise from this tribe - an opinion probably originated by a comparison of the "serpent" of Genesis 49:17 with Revelation 12:9; Revelation 20:2. A third group, amongst whom are Ebrard, Dusterdieck, De Wette, Grotius, referring to an ancient Jewish tradition that the tribe of Dan had become extinct, and relying on the omission of this tribe in 1 Chronicles 4-7. - though Hushim (1 Chronicles 7:12) may be the sons of Dan (see Genesis 46:23) - believe that the children of Dan no longer existed, and were therefore omitted. In the insertion of the name Manasseh (i.e. "Forgetting") Bengel sees an intended allusion to the omission of Dan, who is, he thinks, omitted for some mysterious reason. Ewald believes that St. John wrote ΔΑΝ, and that MAN., the abbreviated form of "Manasses," was substituted by error; and he appeals to manuscripts 9, 13, which, however, have "Dan" in place of "Gad." Moreover, Irenaeus, Origen, Arethas, have "Manasseh," and state plainly that Dan was omitted. It is certainly curious in connection with this conjecture that, if it were true, that is to say, if "Dan" should be read in place of "Manasseh," we should have a more intelligible order of arrangement. In that case, speaking generally, the elder sons would come first, the younger last; all the pairs of brothers are kept together (only that, in the case of the six brothers, there is a division into two lots); Judah naturally is placed first before Reuben, owing to the prominent place held by him in the Apocalypse in connection with our Lord. The order would then be - sons of Leah. Juda, Reuben Simeon, Levi, Issachar, Zabulon sons of Zilpah. Gad, Aser sons of Bilhah. Nepthalim, [Dan,] sons of Rachel. Joseph, Benjamin Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. As remarked above, Judah probably precedes Reuben from the greater importance he would possess in the mind of the writer of the Apocalypse, who continually exalts Christ, "the Lion of the tribe of Judah" (Revelation 5:5). Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand. Parallel Commentaries ... Greek FromἘκ (Ek) Preposition Strong's 1537: From out, out from among, from, suggesting from the interior outwards.
