In addition to the Phoenicians, the Philistines were a seagoing people that influenced the tribe of Dan. Archaeology and DNA confirm that the Philistines were descendants of people who had lived on Crete. A closer look at Greek mythology shows vestigial remnants of actual historical events and people with links to the Danites.

There is evidence that Dan and other tribes learned seafaring and other skills from the Phoenicians. The Phoenicians were descendants of Ham who lived on the coast of the Holy Land and who sailed to many lands, engaging in mining and trade. God strategically placed them where they could pass their skills on to the tribe of Dan. VF-2356

As an introduction to the tribe of Dan, we begin by building a profile. Combining the Biblical record with history and archaeology, we can glean insight into their character, their habits, where they went, and the peoples and cultures they picked up along the way. All of this information helps us to see the tapestry of God's hand in history coming together! VF-2355

God promised Abraham that his seed would be as vast as the stars and the sand, and an examination of history shows this to be true. God is always true to His word. When we examine India's history, we see that the people who settled in India had ties to Israel, and even spread into China. VF-2254

There is ample archaeological and genetic evidence to confirm what became of the tribes of the Northern Kingdom after they were deported by the Assyrians. As nomads, they were broadly known as Scythians, and they spread continuously over a large area. These many nations would eventually become heralders of the gospel and will one day be reunited with Judah. VF-2353

When God led His people into the Promised Land, He told them to drive out the enemies that dwelt there; but they failed to do so. The enemies turned God's people away from Him, and God did to His people what He had planned to do to their enemies. Some tribes were greatly diminished even before the Assyrian and Babylonian deportations. But God preserved some of each tribe, and they must all return to that land in preparation for the Second Coming of Christ. VF-2352

God made an everlasting covenant with Abraham. He blessed him and gave him the promise of land and seed, which would go on to become a great nation. Abraham passes on his possessions and all of these promises as an inheritance to his son Isaac, and Isaac to his son Jacob/Israel. But after Jacob/Israel dies, people get confused about how this inheritance, which includes the promises of seed, land, and kings, is passed on. A careful study of the biblical record can clear up a lot of confusion, specifically regarding the land of Israel, and who should lay claim to it. VF-2351
