<p>7:8 <em>Of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand</em>-&nbsp; See on :4. It&rsquo;s been observed that the tribe of Dan is excluded from the list of the redeemed tribes in Rev. 7. Dan didn&rsquo;t take possession of their inheritance; they despised it. And so they excluded themselves, rather than being excluded for e.g. bad behaviour. The other tribes all had their moments of terrible failures; but these didn&rsquo;t exclude them. The only one excluded was the one who didn&rsquo;t want to be there.</p>
