Tribe of Dan
In the time of Joshua, this was the last tribe to inherit their land. They first dwelt near the sea in boats. Samson came from the tribe of Dan and he was a Nazarite. In Judges 8, they were unable to defeat the Jebusites and inherit their land, so they went to Laish and took their land and named it Dan. The northern land of Dan is above Gad and beside Naptali. Their land is near Mr. Hermon and it was used For dark idol worship. God never intended them to inherit this land.

This is the first tribe that worshipped idols in Judges. They worshipped idols for 500 years. They took Micah's priest and made him priest over their tribe. Micah lived in Ephraim in Judges 17-18 and he made his own idols. When Jeroboam was King in 1 Kings 12, he dwelt in Ephraim to escape from King Rehoboam. He made Dan a place of idol worship, so it became a centre of pagan worship for the 10 tribes. He also built an altar in Bethel, which is between Benjamin and Ephraim. He set up a false priesthood, false temple at Mt. Ephraim, and false feast dates.
Satan uses both sea and higher ground. He sought to make himself higher than God. Marine spirits come from the sea. Revelation shows beasts that come from the sea are antichrist in nature. Isaiah 14:12-13 mentioned Lucifer sits at the sides of the north. The northern land of Dan matches this.

Dan's blessings:
Dan will be a snake by the roadside, a viper along the path, that bites the horse's heels so that its rider tumbles backward (Genesis 49:17) and "Dan is a lion's cub, springing out of Bashan." (Deuteronomy 33:2)
God reveals about Dan's future. The antichrist will be a Jew and probably from the tribe of Dan.
Ephraim became focused also on idolatry and it relied on it's strength and success. The name means to be fruitful. They did not even want to go put to war in battles. Israel sought to kill anyone from Ephraim that sought to cross borders that could not pronounce the name of the city properly because of their disobedience.
