Revelation 7:4–8 prophecies that people from the twelve tribes of Israel will be marked on the forehead with the seal of God. The list does not mention the tribe of Dan, although it was included among the twelve tribes described as having settled in the Promised Land in the book of Joshua. It has been suggested by some biblical scholars that this omission could be a punishment for pagan practices conducted by the tribe. This led Irenaeus, Hippolytus of Rome and some Millennialists to propose that the Antichrist will come from the tribe of Dan.
