Lost Tribe of Dan
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
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 de Danaan’ ruled in Ireland for about two centuries, and were highly skilled in architecture and other arts from their long residence in Greece.’ The Tuatha de Danaan 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." [Van Buren, p. 141-142]
