Bible Question (short): number of apostles |
Question (full): Acts 1:15-26. I know the scripture prophesies that Judas will be replaced after his death (acts 1:20). I am not questioning this as a reason for the choosing of Matthias as a replacement for Judas. If God says it do it. My question: Is there any significance assoiciated with the number of the apostles--12? Can parallels be drawn between the 12 tribes that established the nation of Israel and the 12 apostle that established the N.T church? |
