Subject: who was judus repacement as an apostal |
Bible Note: Hi, Emmaus... Although the disciples chose Matthias in order to round out their numbers -- as you pointed out in Acts chapter 1 -- I've always thought that this was an action that was unwarranted. Indeed, Christ commanded them to simply wait in Jerusalem (Acts 1:4). Paul was certainly a much more apt candidate, and was of God's own choosing (1 Cor 1:1). Since we know that there are only twelve apostles of the Lamb (Rev 21:14) -- extra-Scriptural stories notwithstanding -- I'm willing to bet that Matthias will not be numbered among them. In the fulfillment of Revelation chapter 21, we'll have to check to see whose names appear on the city wall. :-) Nothing dogmatic here... just pondering "aloud," as it were. :-) In Him, Doc |
