THE TWELVE APOSTLES OF ISRAEL & THE ONE APOSTLE OF THE GENTILES - By Bobert E. Hanna


Scripture Reading: Matthew 10:2-6, Romans 11:13

The typical number relative to Israel is twelve. Jacob (whose name God changed to Israel) had twelve sons. They formed the twelve tribes. Jesus Christ appointed twelve  apostles, to whom Jesus declared, "Verily I say unto you, that  ye which have followed me in the regeneration when the Son  of man shall sit in the throne of His glory, ye also shall sit  upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel"  (Matthew 19:28). Twelve from each of the twelve tribes were  sealed againstthe day of God's wrath. The Apostle John wrote  in the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, "I heard the  number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an  hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the  children of Israel" (Revelation 7:4). (Twelve times twelve  equals one hundred forty-four thousand.)

The number relative to the Body of Christ is one. God  appointed one apostle (Paul). The theme of the church the  Body of Christ is unity (oneness). Paul urges its members to  "Keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is  one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope  of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God  and Father of all, Who is above all, and through all, and in  you all" (Ephesians 4:3-6). He further encourages us to  "stand fast in one Spirit, with one mind striving together  for the faith of the gospel" (Philippians 1:27).
