These 12 natures cover the human spectrum, completing the tribe, making it whole, lacking no human element....

There was 12 tribes of Israel & still is, only 2 in Revelation is not mentioned, & there is a reason for that, of which I don't have all my information in front of me, to explained the reason God Omitted the 2 tribes, I could take the time to look it up, But not on this answer, Time will not allow me to go into my studies. I have heard it before, but it has been many yrs. ago, & I am getting old, & somethimes I seem to forget & go back to my study paper. But if you want the reason I can give you a site to go to, & it is all there , the names & the reason God in Revelation mention 2 different ones than at the beginning. Here is Revelations List REV.7:4-8 #1 Juda or we can say Judah( WHICH IS ISRAEL FIGHTING TRIBE) # 2 Reuben, #3 Gad # 4 ASER #5 NEPTHALIM, # 6 MANASSES, # 7 SIMEON, # 8 LEVI, # 9 ISSACHAR, # 10 ZABULON, # 11 JOESEPH, # 12 BENJAMIN There was 2 other tribes that was earlier, & as I said, I can not exactly know their names right now & why God Omitted them, But I do have it all in my study files. Now if you want to see where those 12 tribes of Israel will be seated at, look in Revelations 4: 4 And round about the throne were 4 & 20 seats & upon the seats I saw 4 & 20 elders sitting, clothed in WHITE RAIMENT, & they had on their heards crowns of gold. These 4 & 20 elders is none other that the 12 tribes of Israel & the 12 Apostles. Now to give you that site that goes into this more & explain why God left those other 2 tribes out, go to www.fachurch.org if you are interesting to find out more. And by the way Ismael did not have his 12 tribes, The Promise was to Isaac & not Ishmeal.

Ancient writers liked allegory. Maybe, but you'll have to get a bit more into before I climb on board.
What if the 12 tribes were Homo Sapiens, Homo Erectus, etc.?

The twelve tribes, if you are referring to ones in the Bible are the seed of Jacob whose name was changed to Israel and then he had twelve sons who became the fathers of the twelve tribes of Israel.

Sorry - there is no thread there - you can't lump in the twelve tribes with astrology - or cusps, etc.
No alignment of subject ideas - astrology and the Bible are opposed to each other.

Some numbers were thought to be magical. Three is another one...the Holy Trinity, three stooges, three blind mice.

That sounds interesting. Can you expand on this thought?

Yep, I see no relationship to anything scriptural, so I would have to say Crap.
