their way to Britain. The Celts claim they came from the tribe of Dan,
and that the name Denmark, and the Danube River, give evidence of
their migration.
The Spartans lived in the southern Greek peninsula of Arcadia, later
migrating across the Aegean Sea to build the city of Troy. According to
the Iliad, by the Greek poet Homer, the founder of Troy was Dar-dan-
us. Over the centuries the Spartans made their way into southern
France, while the Trojans moved north and west into Germany,
Belgium and northern France, following the Danube River, eventually
settling in the province of Lorraine. In the apocryphal book of 1
Maccabees, it was written that the Spartans were related to the Jews
and were of the stock of Abraham, and for various reasons, were
believed to have been from the tribe of Dan.
When the tomb of Childeric I, son of Merovee, was opened in 1653, 300
miniature bees of gold were found, which Napoleon had sewn into his
coronation robe. In the Bible, the Danites were represented by a
serpent, an eagle, a lion, and bees. The eagle’s wings on the back of
the lion in the 7th chapter of Dan may symbolize Dan breaking away
from the tribe of Judah. The tribe of Dan lived in the territory west of
Jerusalem, near the coast of the Mediterranean, and after the death of
Samson, lost their lands, and went north into the area now known as
Lebanon, where they lived for 600 years. In 721 BC, when the
Assyrians took ten of the tribes captive, there was no mention of Dan,
thus they soon lost their identity.
In Genesis 49:17, Jacob gave a prophetic statement in regard to his
sons in that “last days,” and said that, “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.” In the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs, an
apocryphal book written about 150 BC, which is said to represent the
final words of Jacob’s twelve sons to their families, attributes this
statement to Dan, made when he was 125 years old: “I read in the Book
of Enoch, the Righteous, that your prince is Satan ... I know that in the
last days you will defect from the Lord, you will be offended at Levi,
and revolt against Judah (the bloodline of Jesus), but you will not
prevail over them.”
When Moses built the Tabernacle, he chose two men to head up the
