Excellent commentary! Enjoyed reading it. Acts 1: 16-17 says that Judas fulfilled prophesy from David's mouth through the Holy Spirit. I found it interesting that God used someone unsaved to fulfill his plan. Also, interesting that there must be 12, not 11, as Acts 1 references Psalms, (v. 20) "Let another man take his office." The apostles have a few men draw lots, and Matthias becomes the replacement for Judas. In Revelations 21, the New Jerusalem has the names of the twelve tribes and names of the "twelve apostles of the Lamb" written on it (v. 14). There seems to be significance for 12 (Revelations refers to 12 gates, 12 angels, 12 tribes, and 12 apostles). Please keep up the good work.
