The Twelve Tribes in the New Testament

             Since the scriptures cannot be broken (Jn 10:35), everyone will be judged for their deeds according to what is written in the books (Rv 20:12).

             When Jesus overcame the world of Physical Israel and chose his twelve disciples, he created twelve tribe leaders who will sit on twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel (Lk 22:28-30). They became the foundation of the holy city of New Jerusalem when they were martyred for the sake of the word (Rv 21:10-20). Revelation prophesies the end of the age in which the sun, moon and stars darken and fall (Rv 6). After this judgment takes place, 144,000 people are sealed from the twelve tribes and the great multitude in white is created on this earth (Rv 7). The 144,000 people are the first fruits that are harvested; they are the priests of God’s kingdom (Rv 5:9-10). The great multitude in white are the subjects of God’s kingdom (Rv 7:13-14). In the end of the age, who can be saved apart from these priests and people? Anyone who does not belong to the twelve tribes is a gentile that will be consumed after the millenium (Rv 20).

             The twelve tribes created in the New Testament and the twelve tribes of the martyrs in the spiritual world unite to reign with Christ for a thousand years (Rv 20:4-6). Because this organization is God’s kingdom on earth, those who persecute it as a source of heresy are, in fact, heretics themselves. Anyone who is not one of the first fruits who belongs to the twelve tribes described in Rv 7 and Rv 14 must repent and wash their robes in order to enter the holy city (Rv 22:14). There is only one promised pastor in this world (Rv 12, Rv 10, Rv 21:7). We must lay down our pride to find the pastor promised in the New Testament so that we can see, hear, and believe.
