The tribe of Dan is not mentioned in Revelation 7:5-8, within the twelve tribes of Israel list. Why? Answer: Dan turned completely against YHWH and is an idolater. In Deuteronomy 29:18-21, YHWH expressly stated that if any TRIBE would completely turn away from YHWH and serve other gods, YHWH would place every curse upon them written in the covenant and blot-out their name from under heaven.

Deut 29:18-21 reads,

"Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the LORD our God, to go [and] serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood; And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst: The LORD will not spare him, but then the anger of the LORD and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the LORD shall blot out his name from under heaven. And the LORD shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the law:"

As you'll see from the presented scriptures and factual information below, Dan has been botted-out.

THE DANITES ARE BELIEVED TO HAVE BECOME THE VIKINGS

The entire tribe of Dan rejected YHWH and worshipped idols. They became a ship-faring tribe who left the land during the time of the Judges. The Danites are believed to have become the ship-faring Vikings. The DANites left their name wherever they went. (Biblical examples: Judges 18:12,29) The name DAN is found in many parts of the world in conjuction with the Vikings. One example out of numerous is: The DANube River. Another example is as shown in the photograph below.

Additional biblical references:

Genesis 49:16 reads, "Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward."

Note: the serpent symbol is also in conjunction with the Vikings as like the name DAN. (Ref: Viking Runestones)

Deut 32:22 reads, "And of Dan he said, Dan [is] a lion's whelp: he shall leap from Bashan."

Note: Dan settled in the area known as Bashan, within the promised land. Although, they left the Bashan area and started sailing on ships.

Judges 5:17 - Debra (the prophetess) was unable to get Dan to leave his ships to help fight with the Israelites.

Judges 18, 1-Kings 12:28-30, 2-Kings 10:29, the entire Danite tribe worshipped idols.

Lev 24:10-16, a son of a Danite woman (the father was an Egyptian) blasphemed the name of YHWH. Moses ruled that if ANYONE blasphemed the name of YHWH, they would be put to death.

Jer 4:14-15, 8:16

THE DANES BROUGHT CHRISTMAS INTO CHRISTIANITY

The DANish people (know as the DANes of Denmark or Danmark - a legitimate alternative spelling) are tribal descendants of the Vikings. (There are more.) According to Wikipedia, the Catholic church "had to adopt" the Christmas holiday (known as Jul at that time) in order to convert the Danish people. Consequently; truth be told, it was the tribe of Dan that was the direct cause of this said pagan holiday infiltration into Christianity.

The Online Encyclopedia, Wikipedia (under Danes) reads as follows:

"The Danish word for 'Christmas' is Jul, from the Old Norse Jól akin to the English Yule. As such the word does not refer to the birth of Christ, but instead to an ancient pagan winter feast. Its customs have, of course, changed over the years, but it has always been part of Scandinavian culture. It meant so much to the Scandinavians that in order to convert them, the church had to adopt their holiday into Christianity, which is the actual origin of Christmas. In many countries Christmas is celebrated on the 25th of December, but in Denmark, and in the other Scandinavian countries, it is held on the 24th."

SUMMARY

The tribe of Dan went into apostasy and has not repented. They turned their back on YHWH, worshipped idols, and have brought their paganism into Christianity. YHWH expressly said in Deuteronomy 29:18-21; if any man, woman, family, or TRIBE's heart turns away from Him and worships/serves other gods, He would blot-out their name. (Again, Ref: Deut 29:18-21) The Danites were obviously blotted-out in the book of Revelation in chapter 7. (Note: the book of Revelation is a prophesy book, not the actual living book.) The name 'Dan' does not appear in the list of the "twelve tribes." Consequently, none of the Danites will live during the first resurrection period of time. None will be Spiritual Beings with Christ or physical beings that comprise the physical remnant after YHWH's wrath. Although, it is highly likely that the tribe of Dan will be resurrected at the second resurrection. (Ref: Ez 37)
