"The Millennial period is where the blessings are enjoyed."The Tribulation period precedes the Millennial period. The Millennial period is where the blessings are enjoyed. It only precedes the Tribulation by 7 years. Look at (Isaiah 2:1-5) where 'last days' of Israel speaks to the Millennial reign of Christ "And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.....and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more."
Daniel is given revelation as to what shall happen to Israel in the latter days. The term 'latter days' when addressed to Israel, appears to speak of the Tribulation period. Where as 'last days' speak to the blessings of the Kingdom or Millennial reign. (Dan. 10:14) "Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days."
(Dan. 12:1) "And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book."
We know this speaks to the future Tribulation period. (Matt. 24:21) "For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be."
(Deut. 4:30) "When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;"
In (Rev. 7:4) 12 tribes of Israel are listed. Twelve thousand from each tribe making up the 144,000. Manasses is listed. (7:6) Epharaim is not. Dan is not. And Joseph is. (7:8) Thus Joseph must replace Ephraim, and be the tribe of Ephraim, as those of Manasses would not make up the tribe of Joseph as it is already listed.

I Disagree.
During the "Millennial Period" all of the 13 tribes of The Children of Yisrael, will be United as "One Nation", whereas Yacob Prophesied and said that Ephraim would become many "Nations".:
Gen 48:18 Joseph said to his father, “Not so, my father, for this is the firstborn. Put your right hand on his head.”
Gen 48:19 His father refused, and said, “I know, my son, I know. He also will become a people, and he also will be great. However, his younger brother will be greater than he, and his offspring will become a multitude of nations.”
Gen 48:20 He blessed them that day, saying, “Israel will bless in you, saying, ‘God make you as Ephraim and as Manasseh’” He set Ephraim before Manasseh.
Gen 48:21 Israel said to Joseph, “Behold, I am dying, but God will be with you, and bring you again to the land of your fathers.
Gen 48:22 Moreover I have given to you one portion above your brothers, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.”
Eze 37:18 “When the children of your people speak to you, saying, ‘Won’t you show us what you mean by these?’
Eze 37:19 tell them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his companions; and I will put them with it, with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they will be one in my hand.
Eze 37:20 The sticks on which you write will be in your hand before their eyes.”’
Eze 37:21 Say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, where they have gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land.
Eze 37:22 I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. One king will be king to them all. They will no longer be two nations. They won’t be divided into two kingdoms any more at all.
The "Portion" of Gen. 48:22, was/is a "Physical Blessing", of which many became apparent in The Tanach, when Manasseh, & Ephraim, "Walked in The Way".
"Gen 48:20 He blessed them that day, saying, “Israel will bless in you, saying, ‘God make you as Ephraim and as Manasseh’” He set Ephraim before Manasseh.
Gen 48:21 Israel said to Joseph, “Behold, I am dying, but God will be with you, and bring you again to the land of your fathers.
Gen 48:22 Moreover I have given to you one portion above your brothers, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.”
I don't know if You've found this in The Scriptures Quantril, but many "Blessings & Curses" were for the Time of the Prophecy, as well as for a Future Event, with one example of this being Deut. 28:
As far as the "Last Days", & "Latter Days", I've found them to be interchangeable, be it an event such as Assyria conquering the "House of Yisrael", and relocating them to it's N. Eastern provinces, &/or the rise of the "Little Horn", and his attempting to exterminate The Children of Yisrael.
"In (Rev. 7:4) 12 tribes of Israel are listed. Twelve thousand from each tribe making up the 144,000. Manasses is listed. (7:6) Epharaim is not. Dan is not. And Joseph is. (7:8) Thus Joseph must replace Ephraim, and be the tribe of Ephraim, as those of Manasses would not make up the tribe of Joseph as it is already listed."
That actually, in My Belief, would involve researching the Canonization, & Translation Process, as well as when Martin Luther began putting the "Lutheran Bible" together for his German Protectors. Luther did not want to include the Book of Revelation, as well as several other "Works" cuz' he found fault with them, but, his German Protectors insisted upon it being included. But, that is another Topic, which could be started, but, I don't want it to become a Major Distraction here.
Shalom Quantril!
