If Jews are the only tribe left of the 12 tribes of Israel, then where will Jesus find the 144,000?

Question

From the 12 tribes of Israel when he returns? REV 7:4

Actually it is to be taken quite literally! why else would Jesus say that if anyone adds to the words of the prophecy they the plagues and curses would be added to them.

The Americas and Europe being the lost tribes of Israel is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.

Jesus said read the book of Revelation literally, not me.

Answer 1

the 12 tribes of israel still exist they r just lost and will one day be rediscovered (think of the ethiopeans)

Answer 2

After the church is taken off the earth, God will deal with Israel again. The prophecy of Daniels 70 week has not happen. Daniel 9: 24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. In the tribulation period God will fine 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes of Israel. Revelation 7: 4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

Answer 3

The Jews weren't one of the 12 tribes. The 12 tribes made up the Jewish people. As I understand the 144,000 will come from all his believers to represent the 12 tribes.

Answer 4

#1, the word Jew cromes from the tribe of Judah.
#2, there are only 10 lost tribes, G-d scattered 10.
#3, I'm not sure what Jeezis is gonna do with 144,000 Jews, but I wouldn't worry any, we're no back to pre-WWII population size.

Answer 5

God scattered the 12 tribes of Jerusalem.
The Americas and European countries make up the 12 tribes.
Judea is the only one that has returned home.

This will give a you a heads-up when you read the Bible.

Answer 6

The Ten Lost Tribes are supposed to return someday. The tribe of Benjamin got mixed into the tribe of Judah, so Jews are part Benjamite. Don't worry, God knows where all of Israel is.

This is all in the Bible; please read it carefully.

Answer 7

First off, I don't think anything in Revelations was meant to be taken literally. The number may or may not be 144,000 people. It could just show how small of a percentage of the people on earth are going to be saved.

Answer 8

there are 12 tribes of Jews, they are the 12 sons of Israel, God has saved each tribe, and they remain today. the 144,000 will come from each of the tribes saved in the tribulation.

Joseph (Jacob's eleventh son, of Rachel) Joseph was the 11th son of Jacob and the first son of Jacob's favorite wife, Rachel, and he was the biblical hero in the drama of Genesis 37-50. Joseph's favored status and his coat of many colors, a gift from his father, caused his brothers to be jealous, and they staged his accidental "death." Joseph was actually taken to Egypt, where his ability to interpret dreams brought him into favor with the pharaoh. Joseph became a high Egyptian official. When, during a famine, his unsuspecting brothers sought grain in Egypt, the forgiving Joseph--whom his brothers did not at first recognize--arranged a family reunion. Thus the whole family of Jacob moved to Egypt and lived there until the Exodus.

Judah (Deut. 33:7; Judges 1:3; 2Sam. 2:10; 19:11; 1Kings 12:21; Hebrews 7:14; Rev. 5:5; 1Chr. 2:3). (Jacob's fourth son, of Leah)

Issachar (1Chr. 7:1-5; Deut. 33:18); (Jacob's fifth son, of Leah)

Benjamin (1Chr. 7:6-12; 1Chr. 8:1-32). (Jacob's twelfth son, of Rachel) Benjamin was the youngest son of Jacob and the name of the smallest of Israel's twelve tribes. Because Jacob's favorite wife, Rachel, died after Benjamin's birth, the boy was especially dear to his father and to his only full brother, Joseph. Thus Benjamin figures prominently in the Joseph narrative (Gen. 37-50). The name "Benjamin" may mean "son of the south" and refer to the Benjamite tribe's location. King Saul, Jeremiah, and Saint Paul were Benjamites.

Reubenites (1Chr. 5:1) Reuben (Jacob's first born son, of Leah), firstborn of the Twelve.

Levites (Gen. 29:34; 35:23; 49:5; Exod. 6:16; 32:26; Numbers 1:50; 3:6; 3:39; 8:18; 8:24; 18:3; 26:57; 35:2; Deut. 12:19; 1Chr 23:27; more). Levi (Jacob's third son, of Leah). In Jos. 14:3, Moses had distributed the inheritance among the Twelve tribes, but with Joseph now being represented by the two tribes of Manasseh and Ephraim, and with the Levites not receiving an inheritance.

Naphtali (Numbers 2:29; Deut. 33:23; Jos. 19:32; Judges 1:33; 4:6; 6:35; 2Kings 15:29; 1Chr. 7:13). (Jacob's sixth son, of Bilhah)

Manasseh (1Chr. 7:14-19); (Actually from Joseph's eldest son, but later recognized as a separate tribe in Gen. 48:5. Manasseh and Ephraim counted instead of Joseph and Levi.). Moses treated the tribe of Manasseh as two separate halves when he allocated the inheritance as specified by God.

Ephraim (Numbers 1:33; Deut. 33:17; Jos. 16:5; Judges 1:22; 8:1; 12:1; 2Sam. 2:9; 1Chr. 7:20-29; 2Chr. 15:9; 28:7; Isa. 11:13). (Actually from Joseph' second son, but later recognized as a separate tribe in Gen. 48:5. Manasseh and Ephraim counted instead of Joseph and Levi.).

Gadites (Gen. 46:16); Gad (Jacob's seventh son, of Zilpah)

Asher (1Chr. 7:30-40); (Jacob's eighth son, of Zilpah)

Simeon (Numbers 1:22; 25:14; 26:14; Jos. 19:1; Judges 1:3; 1Chr. 4:24); (Jacob's second son, of Leah)

Dan (Numbers 1:39; Jos 19:48; Judges 18:30; Gen. 46:23). (Jacob's ninth son, of Bilhah). Seldom mentioned in the Bible.

Zebulon or Zebulun (Judges 1:30; 4:6; 6:35; 1Chr. 12:33; 2Chr. 30:11; Matt. 4:15; Numbers 1:9; 2:7; Deut. 33:18). (Jacob's tenth son, of Leah). Seldom specifically mentioned in the Bible.

Answer 10

The Jewish nation when Jesus was on earth----- Instead of accepting the King God had chosen, they rejected him for Caesar. Their cry was, “We have no king but Caesar.” (John 19:15) Thus Christ became a stumbling stone for the fleshly descendants of Abraham. “But Israel, although pursuing a law of righteousness, did not attain to the law. For what reason? Because he pursued it, not by faith, but as by works. They stumbled on the ‘stone of stumbling’; as it is written: ‘Look! I am laying in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock-mass of offense, but he that rests his faith on it will not come to disappointment.’”—Rom. 9:31-33.
The nation stumbled over him in unbelief. In spite of all the prophecies he fulfilled and in spite of all the wonders he performed before their eyes and the wisdom he spoke, they refused to exercise faith. They were deaf and blind, just as Jeremiah said: “Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; that have eyes, and see not; that have ears, and hear not.”—Jer. 5:21, AS.
Their lack of faith lost for them the privilege of forming the spiritual olive tree and of receiving the blessings of immortal life in the heavens as kings and priests. They lost the opportunity to become witnesses of God's King and kingdom. They had proved to be like dead, unfruitful branches that are cut off and thrown into a fire. A remnant of the nation, however, did exercise faith. These were not cut off but, like good branches, were left in the symbolic olive tree.
Since God had purposed that there should be 144,000 members in the Kingdom, where would enough sons of Abraham be found to make up this number, since the fleshly descendants of Abraham had for the most part proved unworthy because of lack of faith? The only answer is : AMONG THE NON-JEWISH-NATIONS. They would have to fill up the number even though Abraham was not their fleshly forefather. Regarding this the apostle Paul says: “Nevertheless I ask, Israel did not fail to know, did they? First Moses says: ‘I will incite you people to jealousy through that which is not a nation; I will incite you to violent anger through a nation without understanding.’ But Isaiah becomes very bold and says: ‘I was found by those who were not seeking me; I became manifest to those who were not asking for me.’ But as respects Israel he says: ‘All day long I have stretched out my hands toward a people that is disobedient and talks back.’”—Rom. 10:19-21; 9:25, 26.
From A.D. 29 to 36 the nation of Israel had extended to it exclusively the invitation to became united with Christ as spiritual sons. Christ and his apostles preached just to the house of Israel, giving them first opportunity. At the end of those seven years only a small remnant of the nation had responded to the invitation. God therefore turned to the Gentiles to take out of them a people for his name. The Israelite nation lost that special privilege.—Acts 15:14.
