There has been many conversations surrounding the twelve apostles of Christ and the deception of Judas Iscariot. The source of this mystery stems from the key subject of the original ancient Hebrew scrolls and deciphering the watered down version called the bible. Our holy creator chose the lineage of Jacob 12 sons of whom will reign and rule in a future kingdom. Unfortunately one of the sons Dan’s offsprings betrayed the faith and broke the circle. The tribe of Dan was replaced by the tribe Manasseh.The correlation of the 12 apostles, Judas Iscariot, the twelve tribes of Israel, and the Danites will manifest itself in this article

I have always emphasized the need for diligence and common sense in understanding the bible. The bible as we know today are hand picked selected scrolls determined by Rome to be available to the public as the only written words of God. These 66 books we are thankful for but yet there are missing scrolls and condemned scrolls which completes the whole sum. The original books were written for the nation of Israel and not the gentiles, as they confiscated our scrolls, translated and twisted the words and teachings to reflect themselves as the new spiritual Israel.

The Book Of Psalms Chapter 147:19
{19}He declares His words to Jacob, His statutes and His ordinances to Israel. 20He has not dealt thus with any nation;

The Book Of Romans Chapter 3:2
{2}What advantage have the Hebrew? Much in every way. First of all, they have been entrusted with the very words of God.

The Book Of Romans Chapter 9:4
{4}The people of Israel. Theirs is the adoption as sons; theirs the divine glory and the covenants; theirs the giving of the Law, the temple worship, and the promises.

I have heard many questions asked about the traitor Judas , and why had Christ selected him to follow knowing he was the betrayer? The answer lies in symbolism regarding the old scriptures and everything Christ did during his ministry can be attributed to clues signs and mysteries he will reveal only to the pure in heart. The the old testament and new testament reveals to us the wisdom of Christ’s recruitment of these 12 brothers

{12} And it came to pass in these days, that he went out into the mountain
{13} And he goeth up into the mountain, to pray; and he continued all night in prayer to God.

It was a momentous occasion. Christ was about to choose those to whom he was to entrust the planting, organizing, and training of the Holy Congregation Of the Israelite people. Just as Moshe went up into the mountains to receive instructions from the father about Israel so messiah Christ did regarding his 12 men. I am very certain that the father had revealed the intention of choosing a betrayer. On a smaller scale these 12 were his government as he reigned during his era on earth.

{14} And when it was day, he called his disciples: and calleth unto him whom he himself would; and they went unto him. and he chose from them twelve

One must start thinking beyond Sunday school and be weaned of the milk, eating now the flesh of the word. The number twelve was NOT adopted carelessly. It unquestionably had reference to the twelve tribes of Israel, over whom the apostles were to be tribal judges or viceroys ( Luke 22:30 ), and we find the tribes and apostles associated together in the structure of the New Jerusalem ( Revelation 21:12-14 ).  And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

Moreover we see such parallels with the tribes of Israel and the twelve apostles, as Israel prophets were murdered and prosecuted the flocks were scattered. Israel managed to regroup on many occasions but always managed to back slide and be victims of prophecies woes of being enslaved and scattered. The same can be said of the twelve apostles after Christs betrayal and death, they were scattered and hunted. 70 years after the death of messiah, the Romans invaded killed destroyed and scattered Judah to the 4 corners of the earth as slaves. {Luke chapter 21}

 The Shepherd Struck, Sheep Scattered
{7}“Awake, O sword, against My Shepherd, And against the man, My Associate,” Declares the LORD of hosts. “Strike the Shepherd that the sheep may be scattered; And I will turn My hand against the little ones. {8}“It will come about in all the land,” Declares the LORD, “That two parts in it will be cut off and perish; But the third will be left in it.

Christ’s betrayal  by Judas, and him abandoning  the brethren  no doubt represented the fall of Dan! There had to be a solution to reach the outcasts particularly the Danites and the other 9 tribes because of the promise made to the original twelve tribes. In the Book Of Ezekiel we will come to understand why  we see the the land divided in 12 parts in the new Jerusalem and Dan assigned his portion. As the prophecy states Dan must wait for salvation and proof is that this tribe will not be forgotten.

{17}“Dan shall be a serpent in the way, A horned snake in the path, That bites the horse’s heels, So that his rider falls backward. {18}“For Your salvation I wait, O LORD.

We are all by now very familiar with the history of the 12 tribes of Israel and their beginnings. Jacob had twelve sons and at least one daughter, by his two wives, Leah and Rachel, and by their handmaidens Bilhah and Zilpah. Jacob’s twelve sons, named in Genesis, were Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, and Benjamin.From these the 12 nations of Israel was born.

The tribe of Dan was the first tribe of Israel to plunge into pagan IDOLATRY! Over the centuries, they have become steeped in idolatry and image worship — so much so that they will be slow to repent of their sins and to come out of the prevalent end-time idolatry!  From Dan came the Danites who were traitors to the most high Creator. “Dan will be a serpent by the roadside, a viper along the path, that bites the horse’s heels, so that it’s rider tumbles backward. I look for your deliverance, O Lord” (Gen. 49:16-18). The King James Version has this last verse, “I have waited for thy salvation, O Lord.”

Dan was the first of the twelves tribes of Israel to totally abandon the Hebraic faith and chose idol worship. The Danites decided to divorce themselves from the one who made an oath to the 12 tribes to be their husband forever, therefore they gave up the role as future rulers over Zion in the new Mount Zion. Then there was outlandish behavior by nine of the other tribes which forced the hand of our creator to curse all ten tribes into captivity by the Assyrians and banished. The great historian Josephus had this to say

According to one reading of Josephus, Josephus makes the same claim:

“Areus, King of the Lacedemonians, to Onias, sendeth greeting … we have discovered that both the Jews and the Lacedemonians (Spartans) are of one stock, and are derived from the kindred of Abraham … This letter is four-square; and the seal is an eagle, with a dragon in his claws”(Ant.12:4:10).

Chapter 12 verse 20-23 of the Book of Maccabees I

“Arius, king of the Spartans, sends greetings to Onias, the chief priest. It has been found in a writing concerning the Spartans and Jews, that they are a kinsmen, and that they are descended from Abraham. Now since we have learned this, please write us about your welfare. We for our part write you that your cattle and property are ours and ours are yours. So we command them to report to you to this effect.”

The tribe of Dan eventually known to the Greeks as the Spartans and has a long history of violence and blood shed. Dan the traitor went rogue and never returned to the Most high or joined himself to his brothers. Judas Iscariot somehow was a token of this betrayal of the Danites and as a result the future ruler-ship in the new kingdom was taken from Dan and replaced by the tribe of Manasseh. In the same fashion Judas Iscariot was replaced by Matthias the chosen apostle.

As we again focus on the relation of the apostles and the 12 tribes of Israel, something screams out that really caught my attention, and is yet more of a confirmation of the new testament records. The book says Christ appointed twelve that they might be with him. Similarly the Holy Father chose 12 to call is own and his people. Christ appointed twelve that they may be with him? Where did we see this before? Oh I remember, Oh Yeah I Remember!  it was in The Book of Revelation Chapter 14 the 12000 from each of the 12 tribes. It will be of great meaning to you the reader to examine the following.

The Book Of John Chapter 3:14

{14} And he appointed twelve, that they might be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,

The Book Of Revelation Chapter 14

“{3} And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. And no one could learn the song except the one hundred forty-four thousand who had been redeemed from the earth. {4}These are the ones who have not been defiled with women, for they are virgins. They follow the Lamb wherever He goes. They have been redeemed from among men as first-fruits to God and to the Lamb.

These little nuggets always present themselves to us in scriptures, but ministers and pastors will deliberately take these nuggets and turn it into a circus of philosophy and opinions straying of the essence of the topic. Every thing was written as examples the scripture says to us Romans 15:4: Follow with me here and see how scriptures reveal mysteries!!

Paul the 13th Apostle was ordained the restorer of the breach, converted by the heavenly father during the treacherous times. Paul’s new mission included seeking out the lost sheep of Israel living as gentiles, teach the gospel and the forgiveness of sins. Paul confirms and regard the twelve as ministers to the twelve tribes, or to the circumcision, rather than as ministers to his outcast brethren now considered  Gentiles and the gentile nations ( Galatians 2:7-9 ). See also James 1:1 ; 1 Peter 1:1

Paul’s role was clear cut and one must understand the wisdom of our sovereign Creator in using Paul to reach our brethren in all gentile nations where our people were functioning as unbelievers.  The outcasts of Israel especially the Danites who had taken an oath to not serve the God of their fathers.  “The Book Of Isaiah Chapter 11:12″ And He will lift up a standard for the nations And assemble the banished ones of Israel, And will gather the dispersed of Judah From the four corners of the earth. THIS VERSE IS REFERRING TO THE NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN KINGDOM ISRAEL THE TEN LOST TRIBES AND JUDAH WHICH COMPRISES JUDAH AND BENJAMIN

As Judas Iscariot became an outcast and was replaced by Matthias so the Danites  considered outcasts were replaced by the Manasseh as rulers in the future new kingdom. To make things very clear I will like to reemphasize that the special 12000 of each tribe in the book of revelation are the elite special ruling government in the new kingdom of Christ. If one will pay attention to the tribes named in Revelation, Dan is not listed amongst the twelve as a ruling tribe for that reason..

Dan will have his salvation but not as rulers in the kingdom, they will have their portion as prophecy dictates. Christ  and the twelve apostles represents the 12 tribes with one becoming an out cast. This is all indicative of the betrayal and abandonment of the tribe of Dan and the mercy of our creator to restore this clan. I will once again show the gates to the kingdom base on prophecy we see Dan has a gate and and land allocated in the future. “The Book Of Ezekiel Chapter 48:31-35

{31} And the gates of the city shall be after the names of the tribes of Israel: three gates northward; one gate of Reuben, one gate of Judah, one gate of Levi.

{32} And at the east side four thousand and five hundred: and three gates; and one gate of Joseph, one gate of Benjamin, one gate of Dan.

{33} And at the south side four thousand and five hundred measures: and three gates; one gate of Simeon, one gate of Issachar, one gate of Zebulun.

{34} At the west side four thousand and five hundred, with their three gates; one gate of Gad, one gate of Asher, one gate of Naphtali.

{35} It was round about eighteen thousand measures: and the name of the city from that day shall be, The LORD is there.

Manasseh seems to be missing yes? Well Manasseh and Ephraim were sons of Joseph, they were both adopted by Jacob their grandfather. Therefore these two tribes were inclusive with the tribe of Joseph until Dan sinned. Like Judas Iscariot, Manasseh was promoted from under the umbrella of The Tribe Of Joseph as a future ruler along with all of The Tribe Of Joseph which holds The Tribe Of Ephraim still under Joseph’s umbrella. Similarly The new testament shows us as Peter reveals the connection of these mysteries, speaking of Dan showing the significance of the Judas incident.

{20} “For,” said Peter, “it is written in the Book of Psalms: “‘May his place be deserted;let there be no one to dwell in it and, “‘May another take his place of leadership.

{21} Therefore it is necessary to choose one of the men who have been with us the whole time the Lord Jesus was living among us, {22} beginning from John’s baptism to the time when Jesus was taken up from us. For one of these must become a witness with us of his resurrection.”

{23} So they nominated two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias. {24} Then they prayed, “Lord, you know everyone’s heart. Show us which of these two you have chosen {25} to take over this apostolic ministry, which Judas left to go where he belongs.”

Christ specifically reminds us that he has to reach the other sheep who are now in another fold. His people are the sheep and they were now following a new culture of another fold, even us today wearing the banner of other nations.This is where the Apostle Paul will came into the scheme of things. The Book Of John Chapter 10
{15}just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father. And I lay down My life for the sheep. {16}I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them in as well, and they will listen to My voice. Then there will be one flock and one shepherd.

Again brought to light in the new testament who Christ died for:  The Book Of The acts Chapter 5:31-35 confirms who Christ laid down his life for. {^30}The God of our fathers raised up Jesus whom you murdered by hanging on a tree. {^31} Him God has exalted to His right hand to be Prince and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. {^{32 }}And we are His witnesses to these things

Through Israel’s fall all nations who joined themselves to following the true Hebrew way of life through the word of Christ; obeying the laws commands and statutes, they will enjoy the new kingdom also. It is imperative that I remind many of you honest believers who are not of the stock of Israel, that you will enjoy the kingdom just as much as the Hebrew nations once we all have made our garments clean. The gentiles will live amongst the tribal territories but not as Kings, Priests, Leaders or Governors. The land and inheritance have been promised to Israel and they alone will be the head over everything.

The Redemption of Zion
…{10}”Sing for joy and be glad, O daughter of Zion; for behold I am coming and I will dwell in your midst,” declares the LORD. {11}“Many nations will join themselves to the LORD in that day and will become My people. Then I will dwell in your midst, and you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent Me to you. {12}“The LORD will possess Judah as His portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem.…
