The Apostles

 

• 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  12 Apostles but ONLY from the House of Judah aka THE JEWS 
  (Tribes: Judah, Benjamin, Levi). 
  Only Judah, southern kingdom was in Covenant with YHWH at this time. 
  
  
  
  
  The Northern Kingdom with 10 Tribes, 
  House of Israel, 
  was cut off from covenant and scattered in the nations for playing the unfaithful adulterous, idolatrous whore, uncircumcized, lawlessness.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  The following is from church tradition:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Simon Peter (also known as Cephas)
• Andrew, Peter's brother
• James, son of Zebedee (also called James the Greater)
• John, James's brother (also known as John the Evangelist)
• Philip
• Bartholomew (thought to be Nathanael in the Gospel of John)
• Matthew (also called Levi), the tax collector
• Thomas (also known as Didymus, or "Doubting Thomas")
• James, son of Alphaeus (also called James the Less)
• Thaddaeus (also known as Jude or Judas, son of James, "not Iscariot")
• Simon the Zealot (or Simon the Cananaean)
• Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus

After Judas Iscariot's death by suicide, the remaining eleven apostles selected Matthias to replace him and restore the number twelve, as recorded in the Acts of the Apostles. 

Later in the New Testament, other early Christian leaders are also referred to as apostles, most notably Paul (formerly Saul of Tarsus) and Barnabas. 

The following is from church tradition:

Matthew 19:28
Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, JUDGING THE TWELVE TRIBES OF ISRAEL. 

Luke 22:30
so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones, JUDGING THE TWELVE TRIBES OF ISRAEL. 

Acts 1:6 Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to RESTORE THE KINGDOM TO ISRAEL?”

Did The Apostles filled with Holy Spirit FAIL in their "Great Commission" to bring The Gospel of the Kingdom to THE LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL????

NO, they did NOT FAIL!!!

Keep digging and you'll find out that you're not part of the Bible story that ended already in 70AD.
