Dan and Levi

Of the twelve sons of Jacob, one was named Dan. His name means “judge.” When Jacob blessed his sons, he spoke of Dan being the judge of his brothers, likening him to a serpent that bites the heels of horses causing the riders to fall. Once Jacob finished blessing Dan, he prayed, “I look for your deliverance, O, LORD.” What trouble a judge brings on the sons of men! A judge is just, so his works among men cannot be righteously resisted. Therefore, the only hope against a judge is the LORD’S deliverance.

A survey of the Old Testament reveals that Dan never had much influence in the land of Canaan. His tribe was never able fully to subdue its inheritance, and aside from Samson, had very little influence in Israel. Does this not show us that judgment has no power to subdue men, and has very little influence among God’s people? Yet, it seems that so many professed Christians aspire to be a Dan, passing judgment on everyone who comes under their gaze. I have found that such people in the church have no real fruit in their ministries other than small collections of folk who also like to judge.

In the book of The Revelation, chapter 7, we find the church described under the figure of the tribes of Israel. It is good to note that there is no tribe of Dan, no judge among the people of God. Who replaces him? It can be none other than Levi. It is true that Levi was always a tribe, but Levi had no tribal inheritance in the land, but was scattered among his people to serve their priestly needs. But now, Levi is listed with the other tribes and has dispossessed Dan. Why? Once Levi’s work is done, there is no judgment. The priests of the Old Covenant could never stop their labors for sin was never actually put away by their efforts. But, God’s Great High Priest has come, and at the end of His work He calls out, “It is finished!” Dan is now gone, for “There is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus.” And what of Levi? He can enter his rest for his work has been finished. Dan is no more, and Levi is at rest: That is the church of the Lord Jesus.
