What part will the original Twelve Apostles and the twelve Nephite disciples play in the Judgment?

Thomas R. Valletta

“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” (McConkie, Millennial Messiah, 520). “The Apostle John taught that ‘the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son’ (John 5:22). The Son, in turn, will call upon others to assist in the Judgment. The Twelve who were with Him in His ministry will judge the twelve tribes of Israel (see Matthew 19:28; Luke 22:30). The twelve Nephite disciples will judge the Nephite and Lamanite people (see 1 Nephi 12:9–10; Mormon 3:18–19)” (Gospel Principles, 271).
