One day soon the Millennial kingdom will start. Yahusha will set foot on the Mount of Olives On Yom Kippur, the same place where he was arrested, crucified, and ascended back to heaven in 30 or 31 AD. The new Yeruselum will arrive in which contain 12 gates to enter into it, where your King Yahusha will rule from. Each gate will have a name of the tribes of Israel.
Simeon
Levi
Yehuda
Issachar
Zebulun
Dan
Naphtali
Gad
Asher
Yoseph (with Manasseh and Ephraim)
Benjamin
You may have been taught that you are a gentile and gentiles are not Israel...or are they?
Ruth was a gentile, after all she was a Moabite. Moabites are the decedents of Lot by relations of incest he (Lot) had with his own daughters after Sodom and Gomorrah and 3 other cities were destroyed by YHWH. Ruth however is included in the linage of Messiah Yahusha of the tribe of Yehuda...and why...because she renounced the deities of her upbringing and told her mother in law “Your people will be my people and your Elohim will be my Elohim”. She invoked the vow of Exodus 12:49 "ONE Torah shall be for him/her that is native, and for the stranger that sojourns among you". By invoking that vow she was adopted in (aka Grafted in) and considered as a native born.
In this modern day I do not believe that there are any PURE bloodlines of the tribes of Israel left since a
ALL 12 tribes went into dispersion. The northern tribes in approximately 721 BCE and the southern tribes in approximately 597 BCE. In both cases SOME came back, but not all and neither came back with their whole heart given to Yahuah. The southern tribes still for the most part think that they can earn salvation through good works. And the Northern tribes believe that salvation by works is impossible. That only through Yahusha and HIS blood covering is salvation.
One day the Covenanted people of Israel will gather around the new Yeruselem awaiting entry. I believe that by this point in time all of covenanted Israel will know which tribe they belong too because they have been told by YHWH or scripture says that newly covenanted people residing in the land will take on the tribe of the land they choose to settle in.
A few years ago there was a lot of talk in Messianic circles of which tribe people belonged in and a lot of people would state that they believed the majority of the people were Ephraim. That kind of answer works for some but not for me, I am not one that blindly follows the crowd so instead I went to the Holy One during some 1:1 time.
I prayed “Yahuah everybody is saying we are Ephraim but I don’t want to assume, I would rather you tell me where you are putting me because I don’t want to enter the wrong gate” to my surprise He answered right away. Very clearly I hear him say "Your Gad". I didn't know very much of Gad at that point (or any tribe for that matter), I knew that Gad meant Overcomer, for Genesis 49:19 says "Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the end". And as I have had many struggles in my life...it seemed as good of a place as any other tribe.
Once YHWH told me “Your Gad” I started studying for more information not only on Gad but also the other tribes. While studying I would ask Abba Yahuah "why Gad, why not ..." and that is when he told me "The ONLY BLOOD that matters is my son's and People will be put into the tribe based on their character".

Well that just led to more questions, like “What of my character makes me like Gad’s character?” Then YHWH told me "If you want to understand why Gad read Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs". I had never heard of “the testaments of the twelve patriarchs” so I googled it and found out it did exist. To many it’s considered pseudepigraphal but if YHWH said to look it up then so be it.
Here they are below...I was amazed upon reading Gad to find I have so much in common with him.
Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs
Months later my husband was wondering his tribe so I told him what Abba Yah told me...so knowing that DNA means nothing in determining your tribe (Romans chapters 8-10) there was no point in getting an ancestry test. If you are covered by the blood of Yahusha than your next step is discovering your CHARACTER and which tribe matches you perfectly...there will be only one tribe that completely fits. In like manner to how Gad matched me to a T, the tribe of Yissachar matched my husband to a T. YHWH latter confirmed this by dreams and verses given to my husband.
