More About this Video (continued from above)
In calling Twelve Apostles, Jesus established an order that would be a mark of His true Church ever after. As the Apostle Paul explained in Ephesians 2:20, the followers of Christ “are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone”.
Many people may ask, why aren’t there apostles and prophets today? Many people are not aware that there are apostles and prophets today and Jesus has re-established His Church again on the earth today. Jesus still guides and directs His Church and gives revelation to His current apostles and prophets who share it with the world.
