Thank you Sister Sue...
As we can recall the 12 sons of Jacob, Daniel went astray into a form of apostasy, but Gad by God's grace came to restore the situation. Then Asher follows which issues in sufficiency of the riches of Christ and Naphthali which signify resurrection in which are the riches of Christ. Prior to Daniel were Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah, Zebulun and Issachar. Though these four older sons were sinners, God's grace fell upon them and thereby, Levi represented our priesthoods and Judah our kingships. The 12 sons of Jacob is about "us".
I will not argue with what you have written above. However, can we not give a chance for Gad to rise up and restore the situation for us to experience the significance of the other sons of Jacob, especially Joseph which signifies universal blessing; and Benjamin which signifies eternal dwelling?
The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.
