The twelve tribes, in their constant, never-ending service of God, were simulated by the hope that they would enjoy the fulfillment of the promise. Our twelve tribes. Paul, like James (James 1:1), speaks of the twelve tribes as having the same glorious hope. Since the Captivity, the tribal existence of the ten northern tribes had not been preserved, but descendants of all the tribes were mingled in the Jewish nation. Paul was of the tribe of Benjamin (Philippians 3:5), John the Baptist of Levi (Luke 1:5), Joseph and Mary of Judah (Matthew 1:20 Lu 1:32 Ro 1:3), Anna of the tribe of Asher (Luke 2:36).
