Whoever wrote this essay about the Nephites 12 disciples did a sensitive and masterful job! Thank you very, very much! This is the best piece I have ever seen on the topic.

This question interest me and I had the same question many
years ago. I did the scriptural research
and memorized all the Jerusalem Apostles, Book of Mormon Apostles, and our modern day apostles. Every week I repeat all these Apostles of God
just to keep them in my memory and to keep a focus on who they are. The above answer gave me greater
insight. Thank you

“Penultimate authority” may not mean what you think it means.

Interestingly, the twelve whom Jesus chose in the New World are never called apostles in the Book of Mormon. They are just called disciples. But they did have apostolic authority and were given an apostolic witness. The only reason Christ chose another twelve in the Americas is because the original twelve in Jerusalem were not capable of international travel like the current twelve in the church today.
