It's funny that you mentioned the tribe of Dan, I just read somewhere recently that the false prophet, or beast, or the son of perdition (one of those characters) is supposed to arise from the Danites.
Denmark means "Dan's Mark" and some believe that when Israel was scattered that tribe went to the far north...
"Denmark (
Danish: Danmark, pronounced
[ˈdanmɑɡ] (
listen)), officially the Kingdom of Denmark,
[N 9] is a
Nordic country and the southernmost of the
Scandinavian nations. The
sovereign state is southwest of
Sweden and south of
Norway,
[N 10] and bordered to the south by
Germany. The Kingdom of Denmark also comprises
two autonomous constituent countries in the
North Atlantic Ocean: the
Faroe Islandsand
Greenland."

If you read about Denmark you'll find some interesting stuff including church/state conflicts. Also, refer to post #73 for more info.
*I found it:
"Dan refused to shed his brother's blood ; and, rather than go to war with Judah, he left the country, and went in a body to Greece, to Javan, and to Denmark."
And:
"The selection of the
twelve tribes does not include the names of Ephraim and Dan, although their names were used for the twelve tribes that settled in the
Promised Land. It has been suggested that this could be because of their pagan practices.
[25]This led
Irenaeus,
[26]Hippolytus of Romeand some
Millennialists to propose that the
Antichrist will come from the tribe of Dan."
