Revelation 7 reveals a profound truth about God’s people being sealed for their eternal inheritance. In the first eight verses, John witnesses 144,000 sealed from the tribes of Israel. However, the list of tribes is deeply symbolic, reflecting the spiritual realities of faithfulness over lineage. Dan and Ephraim, tribes associated with apostasy and idolatry, are absent, while Manasseh, a son of mixed heritage, is included—pointing to the inclusive nature of God’s true Israel, comprised of Jews and Gentiles united by faith in Christ.
