The 12 tribes of Israel were Gods chosen people. God set forth a plan to reestablish His Kingdom and domain on earth. He wanted to ensure that a rebellion would never rise again. Therefore, he called upon certain men to represent Him on earth, men who would serve Him faithfully and believe Him.
The 12 Tribes Of Israel correspond to the 12 children of Jacob. They are the ancestors of the tribes of Israel and the ones for whom the tribes are named. There were also 12 apostles of God, who spread the word of God throughout the land of Israel, keeping the laws and statutes of God.
