Will Antichrist Rise From the Tribe of Dan? Scripture

sermonindex Mar 20, 2007

"And the LORD God said unto the serpent... I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise thy heel." (GEN 3:14-15)

"Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward." (GEN 49:17)

"And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True... and the armies of which were in heaven followed him on white horses..." (REV 19:11-14)

"...Why did Dan remain in ships?... The kings came and fought the kings of Canaan in Ta-a-nach by the waters of Me-gid'-do... They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sis-er-a..." (JUDGES 5:17-20)

"Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all. But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour..." (DAN 11:37-38)

"Let no man deceive you by any means; for that day shall not come except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition." (II THESS 2:3)

Dan is replaced by Manasseh when the 144,000, and the twelve tribes they're composed of, is listed in Revelation...

Manasseh doesn't really 'replace'the tribe of Dan. These '12 tribes' verses always have 12 tribes but the make up is different. The 'tribe of Joseph' became Manasseh and Ephraim which makes up the usual configuration of the 12 tribes but in Revelation the tribe of Levi is put back into the mix. This would have made 13 tribes except that Dan is missing.

Why is Dan missing? One possible answer is that Dan was the first tribe to apostacize and so in the symbols of the 12 tribes is no longer counted.
