Asher was the eighth son of Jacob, born to Zilpah, Leah's maidservant. The tribe of Asher was known for its abundance and prosperity, as reflected in Jacob's blessing in <a href="/genesis/49-20.htm">Genesis 49:20</a>, which speaks of Asher's food being rich and providing royal delicacies. This reference in Revelation signifies the inclusion of Asher's descendants among the sealed servants of God, highlighting the theme of divine blessing and favor. Historically, the tribe settled in a fertile region of Canaan, which aligns with the symbolic richness of their spiritual inheritance.<p><b>12,000</b><br />The number 12,000 is significant in biblical numerology, representing completeness and perfection, especially in a spiritual context. It is derived from the number 12, which is often associated with God's people (e.g., the 12 tribes of Israel, the 12 apostles). Multiplying by 1,000, a number symbolizing magnitude and fullness, emphasizes the vastness and completeness of God's covenant people. This number signifies that a full and complete remnant from each tribe is sealed, ensuring the preservation and protection of God's people through tribulation.<p><b>from the tribe of Naphtali</b><br />Naphtali, the sixth son of Jacob, was born to Bilhah, Rachel's maidservant. The name "Naphtali" means "my struggle" or "wrestling," reflecting Rachel's struggle with her sister Leah. The tribe of Naphtali was known for its swiftness and agility, as depicted in Jacob's blessing in <a href="/genesis/49-21.htm">Genesis 49:21</a>, which describes Naphtali as a "doe set free." This imagery conveys a sense of freedom and grace. In the context of Revelation, the inclusion of Naphtali's descendants among the sealed signifies the overcoming of struggles and the attainment of spiritual freedom and grace through God's protection.<p><b>12,000</b><br />Again, the repetition of the number 12,000 underscores the theme of completeness and divine order. It reassures the reader of the comprehensive nature of God's plan for His people, ensuring that none are lost or overlooked. This number serves as a reminder of God's faithfulness to His promises and His ability to preserve His people through trials.<p><b>from the tribe of Manasseh</b><br />Manasseh was the firstborn son of Joseph, born in Egypt. His name means "causing to forget," as Joseph named him to signify God making him forget all his troubles and his father's household (<a href="/genesis/41-51.htm">Genesis 41:51</a>). The tribe of Manasseh was unique in that it was one of the two half-tribes, along with Ephraim, that descended from Joseph. Manasseh's inclusion in Revelation highlights the theme of redemption and restoration, as God causes His people to forget their past troubles and focuses on their future inheritance. Historically, the tribe was known for its valor and strength, qualities that are spiritually significant in the context of enduring faith and perseverance.<p><b>12,000</b><br />The consistent use of 12,000 for each tribe reinforces the message of unity and equality among God's people. It emphasizes that each tribe, regardless of its historical or spiritual significance, is equally valued and protected by God. This number serves as a powerful symbol of hope and assurance for believers, affirming that God's promises are sure and His protection is complete.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/revelation/7.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 6.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Of the tribe of Aser</span> were <span class="cmt_word">sealed twelve thousand.
