Elder Bruce R. McConkie wrote: “The reality is that there will be a whole hierarchy of judges who, under Christ, shall judge the righteous. He alone shall issue the decrees of damnation for the wicked.” (Millennial Messiah, p. 520.) Mormon is here describing the role of the Apostles chosen by Jesus in both the Old and New worlds in the judging process it is clear from the scriptures that each has a somewhat different stewardship and constituency. (See 1 Nephi 12:8-10; D&C 29:12; see also Commentary 1:86.)
