Tribe of Israel & Stone Intro

The tribes of Israel from the sons of Jacob are in order of birth. The stones are from the breastplate from Exodus 28 (Ex 28:17, 18, 19, 20, 21).  Some of you are going to try and match up the foundation stones of the Holy City, New Jerusalem, with the stones of the ephod (Rev 21:19, 20, 21). The stones have changed for reasons I will try to go into later, time allowing. For those who do not want to wait, in Rev 7:5, 6, 7, 8 Dan is not listed, but is represented by the great multitude (Rev 7:9). The Binyamin stone has been found. All the breastplate stones would allow light through them so the writing within them could be seen.
