Do Jews Know Their Tribal Origins?

Q. Thank you for your ministry.  I suppose the 144,000 will somehow know their tribal ancestry.  Perhaps, you’ve already dealt with this subject and I haven’t located it yet.  Thank you.

A. I don’t know if they do but they could.  Some could easily do so by their names.  Levitt, Cohen and other Jewish names provide obvious clues. In addition there are inexpensive computer programs that can help any one trace their ancestry.

But the real answer to your question is that God knows exactly where everyone of us came from, and when the time comes He can call the 144,000 to action whether they know their tribal origins or not.
