Christians [the "Israel of God" [Galatians 6:16 KJB, the "sons of God", the "brethren", for God is no respecter of persons [James 2:1,9 KJB], thus see "Abraham" [while yet in uncircumcision, was the "father" of the "faithful"; Galatians 3:7; Hebrews 11:17-19 KJB] and "Rahab", in James 2:21-26; Hebrews 11:31 KJB, "Job" James 5:11 KJB; "elders of the church" James 5:14, "our members" James 3:6 KJB; "men - made after the similitude of God [reference to Creation and Adam]" James 3:9], the spiritual children of Israel [Jesus; Matthew 2:13-15; Hosea 11:1; Hebrews 2:9-13; Isaiah 8:8-20; Romans 9:6-8, 23-27 KJB]. These are also mentioned in Revelation 7:1-8, 14:1-5 KJB see below*Who was James addressing in his epistle?...
James does not once in the entire epistle refer to the words "Jews" or "Gentiles". He is speaking to the "church", the true children of "Israel" [Jesus].
*We also see this at the Ending of Scripture, given in the Sons of Israel in the special ordering, and might go something like this:
Revelation 7:5 KJB - Of the tribe of Juda [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad [were] sealed twelve thousand.
Revelation 7:6 KJB - Of the tribe of Aser [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses [were] sealed twelve thousand.
Revelation 7:7 KJB - Of the tribe of Simeon [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar [were] sealed twelve thousand.
Revelation 7:8 KJB - Of the tribe of Zabulon [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin [were] sealed twelve thousand.
Revelation 7:6 KJB - Of the tribe of Aser [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses [were] sealed twelve thousand.
Revelation 7:7 KJB - Of the tribe of Simeon [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar [were] sealed twelve thousand.
Revelation 7:8 KJB - Of the tribe of Zabulon [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin [were] sealed twelve thousand.
13 Tribes; 1 with no inheritance, 1 with double inheritance.
Revelation 7 Names in Specifically Given Order:
Judah = “Jew” = “I Will Praise The Lord” [Genesis 29:35 KJB]
Genesis 29:35 KJB - And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, Now will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah; and left bearing.

Genesis 41:51 KJB - And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For God, [said he], hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house.
Simeon = “Heard” = “God Hears Me” [Genesis 29:33 KJB]
Genesis 29:33 KJB - And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because the LORD hath heard that I [was] hated, he hath therefore given me this [son] also: and she called his name Simeon.
Levi ** = “Joined To” = “Is Attached To Me” [Genesis 29:34 KJB]
Genesis 29:34 KJB - And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi.
Issachar = “There Is Recompense” = “He Has Purchased Me” [Genesis 30:18 KJB]

Genesis 35:18 KJB - And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin.
Dan * = “A Judge” [Genesis 30:6 KJB]
Genesis 30:6 KJB - And Rachel said, God hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son: therefore called she his name Dan.
And therefore, by the special list given in Revelation [Juda, Reuben, Gad, Aser, Nepthalim, Manasses, Simeon, Levi, Issachar, Zabulon, Joseph, Benjamin] it is seen that the meaning is:
I Will Praise The LORD {JEHOVAH} (Judah) [for] He Has Looked On Me (Reuben) [and] Granted Good Fortune (Gad). Happy Am I (Asher) [because] My Wrestling (Naphtali), God Is Making Me To Forget (Manasseh). God Hears Me (Simeon) [and] Is Attached To Me (Levi). He has Purchased Me (Issachar) A Dwelling (Zebulun) [and] Will Add To Me (Joseph) The Son Of His Right Hand (Benjamin).
Or
Now I Will Praise The LORD {JEHOVAH} (Judah) [for] Surely The LORD Hath Looked Upon My Affliction (Reuben) [and] Granted Good Fortune (Gad) [therefore] Happy Am I (Asher) [even though] With Great Wrestlings Have I Wrestled (Naphtali) [but] God Is Making Me To Forget All My Toil (Manasseh) [for] the LORD Hath Heard Me (Simeon) [being] Joined Unto Me (Levi) [and] He Has Purchased Me (Issachar) [wanting] To Dwell With Me (Zebulun) [and] The LORD Shall Add To Me (Joseph) [also] The Son Of His Right Hand (Benjamin).
The same can be done for Genesis:
Adam – Red, The Living Soul [through Blood], A Unique Son of God
Genesis 2:7 KJB - And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Eve – The Mother of all Living [Life-Giver]
Genesis 3:20 KJB - And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
Abel – Breath, Briefly, a Keeper of the Sheep [Mourning, Lamenting]
Genesis 4:2 KJB - And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
Cain – Possession, a Tiller of the Ground [Lance, Spear]
Genesis 4:1 KJB - And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
Seth – Compensation [setting, in the place of [Abel], appointed]
Genesis 4:25 KJB - And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
Enos – Man [mortal man]
Genesis 4:26 KJB - And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.
Cainan - Possession
Genesis 5:9 KJB - And Enos lived ninety years, and begat Cainan:
Mahalaleel – Praise of God
Genesis 5:12 KJB - And Cainan lived seventy years, and begat Mahalaleel:
Jared – Descent [coming down]

Enoch – Dedicated [Who walked with God, and was not, for God took Him]
Genesis 5:18 KJB - And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and he begat Enoch:
Methuselah – Man of the Dart [His Death Shall bring]
Genesis 5:21 KJB - And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah:
Lamech – Powerful [Strength]
Genesis 5:25 KJB - And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and begat Lamech:
Noah – Rest [Comfort]
Genesis 5:29 KJB - And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the LORD hath cursed.
What do these names say to us, in regards the plan of redemption and of the character of God?
God, through His Unique Son [Adam, Red/blood], Gives Life [Eve], being pierced [Cain], and in the place of [Seth] mourning/sorrow [Abel], for Mortal Man [Enos], Obtained [Cainan], the Praise of God [Mahalaleel], for He Descended/Came Down [Jared], Dedicated/Walked With God and was not found, for God took Him [Enoch], and Whose Death Would Bring [Methuselah], Strength/Vital Force [Lamech], and Rest/Comfort [Noah], so declaring His Good Name [Shem].
