I should have been clearer. It was for Yeshua1.
Apostolic Succession as it is called is unbiblical. God does not replace, He adds.
He subtracts, He multiplies, and He divides.
But never replaces apostles.
He adds.
Acts 2:47 (KJV)
47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

I recognize NO MAN now as a prophet!... Brother Glen:) -

29 And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the LORD'S people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them!
Jeremiah (lower-case "j") is my spiritual name given me of God.
I am a curious sort also. Why do you ask and what understanding do you have of the prophet in the Church since Pentecost? -
"Apostle" is one of those transliteration words apostolon which many times the KJV translators presented as "apostle" or sometimes "messenger" or one "sent" therefore the Greek text and context along with the other scriptures must be examined.
In the final analysis the Lamb of God has only 12 Apostles though many are they who are "sent".
In eternity:
Revelation 21:14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. -

I'm saying God does not replace in His Body, He adds.
Judas will forever be known as apostle of the Lamb. He was an apostle and Christ says he is. His name will be in one of the twelve foundations of the wall of the Great City.
Revelation 21:14 (KJV)
14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. -

I agree. There are only 12 apostles of the Lamb.
And their names will be on the foundation of the wall of the Great City. -

God says "believe and you will see!" -

Thessalonians 3:6 Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.
The tradition of Jesus Christ, the prophets and the apostles - the completed revelation of God.
Hebrews 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Hebrews 2
3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;
4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will? -

Unfortunately, there is a stigma concerning "Apostles and Prophets." However, just because there are counterfeits running around, does not mean there are not true ones. Does the reality of counterfeit money stop you from using real money? You may be more cautious, particularly if you are a business owner or on the receiving side, but that should not prevent the usage of real money.

It is plain. It is simple.
