Bro David, precisely correct. that is amazing to know one great proof exact truth of God's words was evident in the words of the angels who addressed the men as men from Galilee because Judas was no longer among them.
It is true that the disciples witnessed Jesus ascend up on a cloud. I read in Acts 1:10 that it was two men in white apparel who spoke to the disciples. I do not see angels?
Some scholars believe that these two men were Moses and Elijah. They had been standing there the whole time. The disciples didn't see them because they were looking up.
And yes, You are correct in that all of the disciples were Galileans except for Judas. He's the only one that was not a Galilean. He was from the city of Kerioth outside of Galilee. In fact, Iscariot was not his last name. It was a word that tells us where he was from.
I've heard three different theories on how Judas died. I have never heard sword before. Number one, he hung himself but slipped out of the rope and burst open on the rocks below.
The second theory is that he hung himself and his dead body became bloated from the heat and that he burst open while hanging. That is pretty "far-fetched!"
But the archaeological accounts actually say that people who in those days committed suicide, they would go up on a cliff or hillside and they throw themselves down on a pole.
They impaled themselves. That's what they believed Judas did. He slit himself right in two and his bowels gushed out. And this was done in the field that the priests purchased with the money that Judas gave back.
Jesse I don't agree with moses and elijah but many times throughout gods word Gods messengers angels appeared as men in white robes always delivering good news. There are places in gods word where angels appeared and ate food and delivered messages which is quite interesting when you consider that after the resurrection from the dead we will be like the angels of God
I'm not saying that I agree that the two men were Moses and Elijah either as the scripture does not tell us who, other than "two men."
I'm not sure if I can agree that it was two angels either since it does not say angels. It is possible though that it was two angels. But with that, I would have to agree that it is possible that the two men were Moses and Elijah. But again, I cannot come to a conclusion one way or another.
And yes, Mark 12:25 says, "For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.
This tells me that there is no marriage in heaven. There is no male-female functions in heaven. We will be like the angels. We will not be angels, but like the angels.
The angels that were there addressed the disciples and said ye men of galilee, judas was not a galilean he was native to the town
kerioth. Another point of interest is judas hanging himself but it wasn't a tree or rope he suicided by sword which is why Gods
word says Acts 1:18 he fell headlong and his bowels gushed out, thats how they suicided in eastern culture. Gods word is alway
right.

Yes, I agree. That's what the scripture teaches.
( 1 Corinthians 15:53).
Thanks!
There appears to be multiple men with that name: Luke 6:16, Acts 15:27,32, John 14:22, Matthew 13:55, Acts 9:11, Acts 15:22, Acts 1:13,
A guy also from Galilee = Acts 5:37,
Matthew 27:5, Matthew 27:4-10,
It's best to study, keep reading, keep studying
Judas Iscariot was one the betrayer and treasurer.
