1 | 13 Apostles to sit on 12 thrones? | Bible general Archive 4 | Ed O. | 239241 | ||
Jesus states in Luke 22:30 and Mat 19:28 that His apostles will sit on the twelve thrones to judge the twelve tribes of Israel. Rev 21:14 states, The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles. Did Peter and the other apostles acted too soon by appointing Matthias as an apostle, which will make thirteen apostles for twelve thrones?----- Acts 1:24-26 states they prayed about who to choose and also cast lots. Why cast lots when they prayed? Ed O. |

2 | 13 Apostles to sit on 12 thrones? | Bible general Archive 4 | Jalek | 239242 | ||
Greetings, Here's something to think about. The twelve tribes were actually 13. The tribe of Joseph is divided in between his sons Ephriam and Manasseh. They got the lands when the Promised lands were conquered. Levi didn't get any land, but got promised various cities throughout the land. Levi isn't always listed among the list of tribes. Now, you have the disciples, 12 originally, one dies (Judas), and is replaced with two others to make 13. Yet one, Mathias, is only mentioned once as an apostle. It's only a thought that I haven't fully researched, so don't misunderstand me, but since only twelve of the 13 tribes got land, and there are twelve thrones, then one is left out possibly because Levi didn't originally get any land.

Hi Jalek, That's an interesting post. But Jesus is specifically telling his apostles that they will be sitting on the twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel Mat 19:28 and Lk 22:30. Then in Rev.21:10-14 coming down from heaven was the new city of Jerusalem with high walls. It had twelve gates written on them were the twelve tribes of Israel. The wall had twelve foundations, written on them were the names of the twelve apostles. Ed O. | ||||||

Greetings, As I stated, I haven't fully researched the idea, but it is interesting how the number of the Apostles mirror that of the tribes. Jalek |
