Here we see the tribes of the old Israel. But the new Israel, the church, replaces the old (1 Peter 2). How can the old tribes come back?

A remnant of Israel is saved in the end times. God sends his two witnesses (many believe that it will be Enoch and Elijah) to preach to them the truth about He who they crucified.

Hi Psychic,

Actually, the passage quoted is about the New Israel. 12 is a sacred number and here we have 12 x 12. It is the great multitude of the saved.

So why are they called by the old names?

 

[Verbum]

Hi Psychic,

There are no new names. This is just symbolic. The multitude of those entering heaven are the continuation of the 12 tribes who entered the promised land.
