Lost Tribe of Dan
The Tribe of Dan, also sometimes spelled as "Dann", (Hebrew: דָּן, Modern Dan, Tiberian Dān ; "Judge") was one of the Tribes of Israel. They were given a northern portion of land in future Israel according to the Book of Ezekiel. [1]
According to the Book of Revelation (7:4–8), the tribe of Dan is the only original tribe of Israel which is not included in the list of tribes which are sealed. No mention is made of why they are excluded. It has been suggested that this could be because of their pagan practices.This made Hippolytus of Rome and a few Millennialists propose that the Antichrist will come from the tribe of Dan.
Biblical Prophecy
Different Bible versions allow for different interpretations of prophecy. Therefore, the traditional view represented by the King James Version is used in this report. Scripture indicates the following:
- That the Antichrist is Jewish
- He will come from the region of Dan/Mount Hermon [Mount Sion] in the north of Israel as a false fulfillment of Romans 11:26
- The tribe of Dan will be rejected by God as part of the 144,000 and will be used by God to bring judgment upon Israel and the unbelieving world
- The Tribe of Dan inherited the pre-flood paganism [Baal worship] of the Canaanites [descendants of Ham and his son, Canaan] who occupied the northern area of Palestine at Mt. Hermon/Sion. Located at the 33rd degree, the ancient tribe of Dan influenced the basis of modern Freemasonry.
- The symbols of the tribe of Dan are used by the Merovingians, the House of Stewart [Prince Michael] and the Judeo-Masonic authors of the Protocols of Sion[Representatives of Sion of the 33rd degree].
- The Judeo-Masonic conspirators have revealed to their own elect and concealed from the profane the fact that a Danite false messiah will reign from the territory of Mount Sion in Dan rather than Mount Zion in Jerusalem. Their ultimate objective is to recreate the pre-flood pagan culture which God once judged and will judge again.[2]
Celts may be of the Tribe of Dan
"There are certain facts that suggest that the Celts might have derived from a Jewish tradition from the East. The Celtic body of ecclesiastical and civil knowledge was Druidism. Their system can be traced to about 1800 B.C. It is recorded in ’Welsh Triads’ that Hugh Gadarn synthesized the wisdom of the ancients for those whom he led west from Sumer and Mesopotamia. In ’The Psalter of Cashel’ it states that: ’The Tuatha Dé Danann’ ruled in Ireland for about two centuries, and were highly skilled in architecture and other arts from their long residence in Greece.’ The Tuatha Dé Danann were the descendants of Danaus, the son of Belus, who went with his fifty daughters to Argos, the home of his ancestrous Io. In Irish legends the Tuatha de Danaan, who were considered to be demi-gods, were said to have possessed a Grail-like vessel.These teachers of wisdom were the founders of the Druidic priesthood."
