DAN AND EFRAIM ARE NOT SEALED?

   Yahuah has hidden the lost tribes of Israel among the Gentiles:  Read all of (Isaiah) YashaYahu 49. 

(Ezekiel) Yekezqal is all about the scattering and re-gathering Plan which Yahuah has for His people, to whom the Gentiles must “engraft” through the Covenants (Eph. 2:8-13, Romans 11).  If you are alive, you are most likely a “lost” (cut-off) descendant of the tribes of Israel.  When you repent and take up the Covenant again, through immersion into the Name of the Mashiak Yahusha of Natsarith, you become an Israelite, and a member of the Natsarim (Acts 24:5).  The renewal of the Covenant is described at Heb. 8.

TRIBES GATHERED AT THE RETURN OF YAHUSHA:   DAN, ASHER, NAPHTALI, MENASHAH, EFRAIM, REUBEN, YAHUDAH, LUI, BENYAMIN, SIMEON, ISSACHAR, ZEBULON, GAD   (AS LISTED AT EZ. 48)

2 TRIBES MISSING AT REV 7:  EFRAIM, DAN  --  WHY?
NOT SEALED WITH THE NAME OF FATHER YAHUAH, BUT WILL STILL BE RE-GATHERED  --  Let’s look at the details first:

Rev 7:4-8: “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 Yasharal:

of the tribe of Yahudah twelve thousand were sealed, of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand were sealed, of the tribe of Gad, twelve thousand were sealed,

of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand were sealed, of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand were sealed, of the tribe of Menashsheh twelve thousand were sealed,

of the tribe of Shimeon twelve thousand were sealed, of the tribe of Lui twelve thousand were sealed, of the tribe of Yissaskkar twelve thousand were sealed,

of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand were sealed, of the tribe of Yusef twelve thousand were sealed, of the tribe of Binyamin twelve thousand were sealed.”

WHY ARE THE TRIBAL LISTS DIFFERENT?  (Answer given at end of this study)

Rev. 7 provides a listing of the pre-tribulation sealing of the tribes with the Name of Yahuah in the foreheads of 144,000 for their identification and protection.  Yusef is mentioned, which would suggest that traces of Efraim (one of Yusef's two sons) would be sealed, but generally Efraim must be resistant to the sealing of the Name of Yahuah (we all know those who resist the true Name!).

Ez. 48  Lists all the tribes re-gathered to the land during the Millennium, when Dan & Efraim are restored.

EZ. 39:25-29  DECLARES THE RE-GATHERING WILL RESULT IN PEACE

“Therefore thus said the Master Yahuah, ‘Now I am going to bring back the captives of YaAqoḇ.  And I shall have compassion on all the house of Yasharal, and shall be jealous for My set-apart Name.

And they shall have borne their shame, and all their trespass they committed against Me, when they dwell safely in their own land, with none to make them afraid,

when I have brought them back from the peoples and gathered them out of the lands of their enemies. And I shall be set apart in them before the eyes of many gentiles.

And they shall know that I am Yahuah their Alahim, who sent them into exile among the gentiles, and then gathered them back to their own land, and left none of them behind.

And no longer do I hide My face from them, for I shall have poured out My Spirit on the house of Yasharal,’ declares the Master Yahuah.”

WE ARE IN CAPTIVITY;   1948 WAS NOT THE REGATHERING  (The verses above prove it)

THOSE ISRAELITES IN THE LAND JUST PRIOR TO THE REGATHERING ARE TO FLEE TO THE “MOUNTAINS” (NATIONS).

THE TRIBES OF ISRAEL WERE SCATTERED REPEATEDLY, AND PERMANENTLY SCATTERED IN 70 CE, WHEN THE TEMPLE WAS DESTROYED BY TITUS, ALL DUE TO THEIR UNFAITHFULNESS. 

THE FAITHFULNESS OF YAHUAH TO HIS COVENANT IS STEADFAST.

 THE TRIBES IN “THE LAND” SINCE 70 CE ARE NOT THE FULFILLMENT OF PROPHECY

TODAY WE SEE THE NATION OF “ISRAEL”, “RE-GATHERED” BY THE WILL OF THE UNITED NATIONS, A U.N. PLAN TO SEE THE YAHUDIM ANNIHILATED BY HER ENEMY NEIGHBORS; THE ISHMAELITES, EDOMITES, ASSYRIANS, MOABITES, ETC.,.   

When Yahusha re-gathers His people (lost tribes, scattered among the nations), they will live in peace with no threat ever again.

THE SECOND EXODUS (REGATHERING OF ALL TRIBES) WILL BE WONDROUS

THOSE STUBBORNLY IN THE LAND NOW ARE STILL IN CAPTIVITY, AND HAVING ALL SORTS OF PROBLEMS, AND IF THEY REMAIN THERE, GREAT TRIBULATION IS IN STORE FOR THEM. 

YAHUAH STATED THAT ISRAEL WOULD BE SCATTERED, AND IN THE LATTER DAYS THEY WOULD OBEY HIS COVENANT WHILE STILL IN THEIR CAPTIVITY AMONG THE NATIONS. 

WHEN THE “FULLNESS OF THE GENTILES COMES IN”  (TO THE COVENANT), YAHUSHA WILL RETURN AND REGATHER THEM FROM THE ENDS OF THE EARTH. 

WE ARE NOT TO REGATHER OURSELVES TO THE LAND PRIOR TO HIS RETURN, OTHERWISE WE WILL BECOME PART OF THE GREAT “FEAST” OF YAHUAH FED TO THE BIRDS AND BEASTS AT THE END OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION JUST PRIOR TO YAHUSHA’S RETURN (EZ. 39:17-29).

Yahuah says we will obey in the latter days, while among the Gentiles:

Deu 4:30:  “In your distress, when all these words shall come upon you in the latter days, then you shall return to Yahuah your Alahim and shall obey His voice.”

Deu 30:1-20:  “And it shall be, when all these words come upon you, the blessing and the curse which I have set before you, and you shall bring them back to your heart among all the Gentiles where Yahuah your Alahim drives you, and shall turn back to Yahuah your Alahim and obey His voice, according to all that I command you today, with all your heart and with all your being, you and your children, then Yahuah your Alahim shall turn back your captivity, and shall have compassion on you, and He shall turn back and gather you from all the peoples where Yahuah your Alahim has scattered you.  If any of you are driven out to the farthest parts under the heavens, from there Yahuah your Alahim does gather you, and from there He does take you.”   And they shall know that I am Yahuah their Alahim, Who sent them into exile among the Gentiles, and then gathered them back to their own land, and left none of them behind.

‘And no longer do I hide My face from them, for I shall have poured out My Spirit on the house of Israel,’ declares the Master Yahuah.”

   The difference in the tribes listed at Ez. 48 and Rev. 7 is apparent.  Dan and Efraim are missing during the “sealing” process with the Name of Yahuah, which is during the last days, synonymous with the Great Tribulation.  They are generally “skipped” because they are very stubborn, and cannot overcome the false name, and/or do not wish to leave the comfort zone to enter the Torah Zone.   They simply won’t receive the true Name.  They identify themselves as Gentiles.  When the time comes for Yahusha to re-gather His people (at His return), all will come to a knowledge of His true identity, and Dan and Efraim are re-gathered.  Why?  The bulk of Dan and Efraim are believers (Christians), but they are resistant to the true Name because they are trapped in false teachings, or strongholds of thought.  The vast majority of them will endure the hardships of the great tribulation because they were not sealed for their protection, but their faith in their Deliverer will enable them to finally recognize their mistakes because we who are sealed will be there to teach them.   We who are sealed will be protected from the plagues, but those who need us to teach them will not have protection;  that’s why it’s important to be sealed before the Great Tribulation arrives.  Those of us who have been sealed also live within the bond of the Covenant (Ez. 20:37) and will help many to increase their knowledge (Dan. 12:3), so our greatest work will be done during the great tribulation.  Those who have believed the lie (2 Th. 2:9-12) concerning the “rapture” are those who are not sealed, but the Truth will ultimately be made available to them, and Yahusha will re-gather those who will receive the Truth, along with us at the time of His return.  First, the tribes of Israel must be restored to the Covenant in the distant lands where Yahuah scattered us generations ago (some over 2300 years ago).  Then, at the time of Yahusha’s return, He will send forth His messengers to gather us from the ends of the Earth to be with Him.  That will be the time we are truly re-gathered, and then the children of Yahuah will be revealed to the universe which groans even now for that time to arrive.
