The 12 Tribes Boundaries. We’re very excited to share this with you. It’s part of a long going many, many, years of research identifying the locations of the 12 Tribes and the promise to the 12 Tribes.  We hope to answer some questions and cover some things here that I know I’ve fielded as a result of the recent discussions, as it relates to the previous video on Hamath and the video on Mt Hermon and Damascus.

{Links at the bottom of this blog post.}

With this new information we’ve been able to more accurately identify this Promised Land. One of the questions is what about Greater Israel or the idea that the Promised Land to Israel goes to the Euphrates and to the river Egypt. We’re going to discuss that later as a common question.

What we’re looking at is we now know where Haitla is and that’s right here (orange line near coast). Haitla is in Lebanon and that relates to Hethlon in the Hebrew scriptures. The way of Hethlon is a road, a way means a road, and that road goes to Hamath in the north and that’s in Ezekiel 47. The way of Hethlon goes to Zedad in the south and that is this road here.

Once we’ve been able to identify the location of Hethlon and Zedad we now can say that road gives us our northern boundary, and once we know our northern boundary then that will allow us to proportionately go from the northern part to the southern part. The southern part we’ve done in previous videos. We do know where Kadesh Barnea is and we’re going to share new information with you to again to prove this out.

Now the distance here from the northern boundary of the modern border between Lebanon and Syria, this is Syria and this is Lebanon, to Jerusalem is a little over 200 miles, 202 miles. What we have is we have these Tribes, and a Tribal order of 7 Tribes in the book of Ezekiel that go before we get to Jerusalem.

Once we knew this location more accurately here in the north, this allowed us to then find out proportionately, approximately and you can see it’s rough drawing it’s not perfect it’s not precise but it will give us a rough idea of what Tribes belong where. Dan is farthest to the north. Then we get Asher, Naphtali, Manasseh.

Now later in our notes what’s interesting is that the children of Israel had the same exact instructions from Moses that Ezekiel gives but they did things differently. They didn’t exactly go with those instructions.

For example this is the Jordan river and they’re on the eastern side of the Jordan river and they weren’t supposed to go there. You get Gad over there. You get Rueben over there. You get Manasseh over there. Now if you notice here you get Manasseh, the half Tribe of Manasseh as they were in two places, but here you see Manasseh, Naphtali, Asher.

Now if we just take that and we turn it you’ll see that we actually have the same Tribes here at the north now (rotate 90 degrees clockwise).

When Moses gave the instructions to Joshua to give the land the children of Israel were to cast lots and determine their location. Moses gave the same boundary for those Tribes but Ezekiel says exactly the lines proportionally of the Tribe going from the east to the west, so that proportionally you divide up the space between the north and Jerusalem.

Proportionately you have each Tribe and each Tribe is given land. There is no casting of lots. That’s one difference but the location that Moses gives and that Ezekiel gives is the same. Ezekiel gives the Tribal order in advance where we have Dan, Asher, Naphtali, Manasseh. Remember how we saw before Asher, Naphtali, Manasseh. We saw them positioned like this and now they’re turned over in their position like this (the 90 degree rotation).

Here’s Damascus and we know that Manasseh is going to have Mt Hermon. This goes up and Mt Hermon is right here, very close to the difference between the border of Manasseh and Naphtali. That’s the actual peak of Mt Hermon. This here is the Golan Heights (south). We talked about Mt Hermon before and its importance. Manasseh had Mt Hermon previously and they have Mt Hermon again in the Millennium.

• This is the Millennium, the reign of the Lord Jesus Christ. He will gather the Tribes and these are the allotments for the Tribes.

You have the 10 Lost Tribes which are from the Nations and that’s what we have Dan, Asher, Naphtali, Manasseh, Ephraim and Rueben.

Then we get the Tribe of Judah and the Tribe of Levi. These are Tribes in Israel, in Jerusalem now but then there’s a gathering in of the rest of the Tribes. Benjamin, Simeon, Issachar, Zebulun, Gad.  We have Ephraim and the sea of Galilee. That’s a difference to what the Tribe had previously. You had Judah here but you had Ephraim in the area north of Jerusalem (where you see Reuben now).

• These are our 7 Tribes above Jerusalem.  We get Judah, Reuben, Ephraim, Manasseh, Naphtali, Asher and Dan.

Then we have the area allotted to the Temple. The Temple will be here as an allotment. Levi doesn’t have land I’m just putting the Tribe of Levi here. They’re not included in the land. They do not have inheritance but I’m placing them here because this is the precinct of the Temple and it also gives it allotment for that land. For simplicity we’re just putting Levi’s name.

• Below the precinct of the Temple here we then have the Tribal order that continues down into the south, Benjamin, Simeon, Issachar, Zebulun and Gad.

Now what we hope to do is explain where we know this southern boundary, how do we know this information.

One thing we’ll make just as a disclaimer, as a caveat. Some people have the river Egypt as Arish here, which it could be. Some have the river Egypt as a tributary. Both of these are like tributaries. There’s no river over here. The Sinai Peninsula it’s all desert but there’s some kind of a tributary. There’s one in Gaza and there’s one around here (Arish). We’re not totally sure but we are following what is the present border.

We have archaeology because you have Jews there and we can do archaeology in the land of Israel so we have proof. We can’t do archaeology in the Sinai Peninsula so we don’t really know but we’ll explain that. Now presently down here we have Eilat (near Aqaba) but that is actually not part of the allotment of the 12 Tribes.

Now how do we know the south? This is the south. The Dead Sea is right here. This is the Dead Sea and in that Dead Sea region we have, we did this in previous videos, Kadesh Barnea. Kadesh Barnea is here and we went to that site.

Now our further proof of our location in the south are David’s garrisons. As we mentioned in archaeology we have found out that there are locations where David built border garrisons. That’s what these are marked here (the small squares). We can see exactly where they are around the certain crater marks in Mitzpe Ramon here. What that means is that David is marking the border to the south with Edom.

We could see this in two places. David put garrisons in Edom, throughout all Edom he put garrisons, and all they of Edom became David’s servants.

What that means is that the allotment of the land was Kadesh Barnea. Moses says this and that’s here. Then David built garrisons. He built fortresses here to protect the southern border of Judah.

That is what we are identifying here, where we get the Dead Sea and then we turn down and that’s where we see David’s garrisons.

What we have is we have these garrisons in the state of Israel and we don’t really know what keeps happening. These might end here or they might continue going into the Sinai. We don’t totally know 100% but we do know that this boundary for sure is here because we have #1 Kadesh Barnea and #2 we have David’s garrisons.

Now this border to the south is in Ezekiel 48:28, the border of Gad, at the south side southward, the border shall be even from Tamar to the waters of strife at in Kadesh, which is also called Kadesh Barnea, to the river towards the great sea. As we said once we identify where this lower point is we would have the Tribe of Gad which is exactly what we have at the rivers of strife, at Kadesh Barnea.

That’s how we know the south. That’s how we know the north. David actually went all the way to the river Euphrates. Now one of the questions that we get and we want to cover all the questions.

You can see David smote Zobah. Zobah is up there by Hamath, probably between Hamath and Zedad. That’s up there in Syria or Lebanon. He went up to this area and he also built fortresses around and garrisons around Damascus. We don’t have archaeology. We can’t see where those places are. If we could go there we will find those exact locations

Now one of the questions is, as we mentioned before, people say, Why are these the 12 Tribes? God promised Abraham that the children of Israel, the promise and covenant with Abraham was from the river Euphrates to the river Egypt. That’s right.

Now to explain that we have this fulfilled with David and in the time of Solomon. You can see that what David did he began to subdue the Nations around him. He subdued Syria, Moab, Ammon, the Philistines, Amalek, the son of Rehob, Zobah. That’s going up there towards the north. What happened is David went to the river Euphrates to recover his border. He did go to the Euphrates and that continued with Solomon.

What happened is the Nations that were there were servants to the king of Israel, king David and king Solomon, but those nations were not part of the 12 Tribes. Here you can see these are the 12 Tribes, that’s the extent of what the 12 Tribes did.

We have shown you this before. Joshua obtained all the way up there but the children of Israel didn’t properly settle this area, really north of Sidon, north of the Litani river. They went to Mt Hermon. They went to the area round Damascus. They went up there but they didn’t go all the way according to Moses’ instructions by going to the way of Hethlon and the way of Hamath.

• The Most High has His instructions and He’s just going to do it again until the people get it right. That’s what the Lord Jesus Christ does in the Millennium where the borders and everything will be established once again.

Now in this map we can see we have a lot going on. We have Damascus. We have Mt Hermon. This is called Aram where we get the expression Aramaic, that’s Syria. Then you get Jordan, Amman.

What happened, as we mentioned, is we had some of the Tribes were over here. This is Gad and Rueben but then the Nations were over there too. The way that we like to explain it is that you see Edom. Now who’s Edom? Jacob and Esau, Esau his name, Esau, is Edom. That’s a settlement here. Moab who’s that? That’s the son of Lot. Lot had two sons and one of them is Ammon and the other is Moab.

The way we want to explain it is that David and Solomon subdue all the Nations but those Nations were not the children of Israel, the 12 Tribes were not settling there.

• Abraham was to be the father of many Nations, not one. He’s the father of many Nations, not just Israel. He’s the father of many Nations and those Nations are actually related to him. That’s where we see the Nations, Ammon, Moab, Edom. They’re coming from Abraham. Here you can see with Lot we get Moab and Ammon.

• And Yahweh made a covenant with Abraham saying, unto your seed will I give this land from the river Egypt unto the great river Euphrates. As for me, my covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations. {Genesis 15:18; 17}

Now we also want to relate this to Lord Jesus Christ. In the Millennium He is going to reign like Ahasuerus in the book of Esther who reigned from India to Ethiopia, 127 Provinces. When He reigns that is going to include the Camp of the Saints (yellow area). In Revelation 20 it says the Camp of the Saints.

In the Gog Magog war they go against the place called the Camp of the Saints, and that’s the 12 Tribes in the Millennium that we just showed you, and the Beloved City is Jerusalem. They come against that from the surrounding nations.

• Satan is bound for 1000 years; he is loosed and then he does the Gog Magog war.

What we also can see here is we have the river Euphrates. You would have the 12 Tribes as we’re showing you here (yellow) and then beyond that His dominion will be like David and Solomon where He goes to the Euphrates and the nations are His servants. The nations are going to be servants to the Lord Jesus Christ. He also will have dominion over the 127 provinces like Cyrus.

Cyrus My Anointed. Cyrus My Mashiach. Christ is the Mashiach. When He reigns in the Millennium He is going to reign like in the book of Esther. Esther is the queen; Esther is the 144,000. Then you have the King ruling and reigning.

These are the different places that we call the Promised Land or in the Millennial reign of the Lord Jesus Christ we’re going to have the Camp of the Saints. We’re going to have the 12 Tribes. We’re going to have the Euphrates to the great river Egypt. Then we’re also going to have the 127 provinces.

The other thing I want to make mention is we’re seeing wars. All the wars that have been happening they’re always about the Land. Here’s the Golan Heights, here’s Damascus. Israel took Mt Hermon up here. It’s in the Promised Land as we showed you. In the wars of 1967 they gained the Golan Heights, they gained the West Bank.

They gained the whole Sinai Peninsula, it was under the Israelis, but it’s not in the Promised Land. What happened is they had to give it up in the negotiations.

They went all the way to the Suez Canal but in the negotiations they had to give it up. They gave the Sinai Peninsula back to Egypt and they went back to what we believe is the border area here (Negev Desert). They do have Eilat and that’s not in the Promised Land but it’s all about the wars.

The other thing in 1967 they gained the Golan Heights. We showed you it’s in the Promised Land.

We’re in the wars. The Gaza war is part of the Land. Southern Lebanon as you can see that’s the war here. Then we have the war against Syria and they took Mt Hermon.

We’re just showing you proof and evidence this is the Promised Land. This is what the Scripture says. This is what’s going to happen in the Millennium. Those that are the 144,000 they are going to go into their Tribal land and the Lord Jesus Christ is going to reign from the Millennial Temple in Jerusalem. Glory be to His name!

Thanks for watching. This is part of our series I forget which one as we have a few. We have one called the Promised Land and we have one called Number, Weigh, Divide. I’ll have to see but anyway we will place the map and notes here in the description field of the video. Thanks for watching.

And the voice came from the throne saying, It is done!
