The Twelve apostles are all men of Galilee, but as soon as Acts opens they are based in Jerusalem and remain there, even after the stoning of Stephen and the dispersal of the church. Perhaps there’s a connection with the remnant typology mentioned in an earlier post: The remnant has moved from the North (Galilee) to the South (Jerusalem) and remains there until the destruction of the city. In this scenario, the apostles are like Jeremiah before the destruction of Jerusalem, but also like the exiles, remaining in “Babylon” until the greater Cyrus, Jesus, destroys the city and releases them to return to the “land” (which by this time is the world).
