The Spiritual Meaning of The 12 Tribes

If you translate the meaning of the names of the twelve tribes you will find the story of the Gospel. 

 

                   Name                                                               Definition                             

 

Reuben  ________________________________Behold a son, Look on Me

 

Simeon _________________________________  Hear Him, Hear Me

 

Levi     __________________________________ (and) Be Joined With me

 

Judah   __________________________________Give Him Praise, Now will I praise the Lord

 

Dan       __________________________________Judge

 

Naphtali _________________________________(His) Strife

Zebulun   _________________________________Dwelling with Us

So when we read these definitions, it will say "Behold a Son, Look on Me, Hear Him, Hear Me and be Joined with Me.  Give Him Praise.  How will I praise the Lord?  Judge His strife and His Fortune.  Happy and Blessed am I for He brings my reward dwelling with us. He shall Add, for He is the Son of His Right hand.
