I guess it’s time for a thread, seeing as I lost the account I first tweeted about this from. https://twitter.com/zarahemla21/status/1330439268901277696
1. There are 12 tribes (kinda), and there is a disparity in which count as tribes between genesis, numbers, and revelation. For these purposes I will be including Ephraim and Manasseh as tribes but under the general tribe of Joseph so that’s 11 plus 2 halves = 12.
I will be giving this thread in order of birthright, but it is important to keep these things in mind:
1. Each tribe has its own symbol, color, stone and constellation
3. In the last days Joseph is called and Ephraim and their brother Manessah lead
4. Meaning is found after study

Now you might think I’m starting with Reuben, but I’m not. I’m starting with Joseph. Reuben lost his birthright so it goes to Joseph, the 1st born of the 2nd wife, not to simeon the 2nd born of the 1st wife.
Joseph was the favorite child, his tribes symbol is the Bull, and its constellation is Taurus, representing the two horns of the Ox (Deut 33:17) meaning his two sons Ephraim and Manasseh. Together the horns will work to lead the ox in the latter days. Look at the entry for Joseph
Much symbolism here especially in temples, but my favorite is the Latter-day Exodus which employed oxen. These two tribes are the natural leaders of Israel, although Israel often rejects them. This is the prophetic tribe. Their modern day inheritance is the Americas
Next is Dan, Dan is omitted from Revelation in the count of the 144,000, whereas Reuben, Levi, and both tribes of Joseph are included. I have personal thoughts on this but I believe they are still a tribe, but that revelation is true.
