When studying early church history its clear. And the prophetic revelation of the seven churches shows a steady decline. I'm not trying to stir up anything, just my take on Apostles.

I agree with this JB and it is worth repeating.
Apostolic succession is a serious error in understanding the Lord's NT arrangement.
