Subject: Only seal and horse in same verse Rev6:5 |
Bible Note: The "governmental perfection" in the number 12 comes from two sources: 1) Israel as God's earthly people is based on 12 tribes; and 2) The church as God's heavenly people is based on 12 apostles whose names are written on the 12 foundation stones of New Jerusalem (Rev 21:14). Before you ask, "Is Judas Iscariot one that is written, and if not, who is instead?" Let me tell you Scripture does not say. I think Judas was replaced by Paul, but I could be wrong. He might have been replaced by Matthias. Steve |
