Paul is mentioned in many of the New Testament books as an apostle of Jesus Christ. The New Jerusalem in Revelations is said to have 12 foundation stones representing the apostles. Matthias is never mentioned again after Acts 1. Also, consider that Paul, like the apostles before him, was chosen by Jesus. I would think that Paul is the twelth apostle, which may shed some light on the signifigance of the lot casting in Acts.
