It has been my experience that truth is connected to truth like a spiritual chain with each link in the chain a truth of YAHWEH. If a link is a lie the chain will seem to be broken which should sound a spiritual alarm bell in our human spirit. This alarm wakes us up that the lying link must be removed so as to keep the truth of the chain. No lie is of the chain of YAHWEHS truth. Lies come from Satanically influenced men, YAHWEH knew this in eternity, HE prophesied in Ezekiel 34 about these false shepherds and that HE would remove them from being shepherds. I believe this prophecy was fulfilled after the death of the Apostle John. That is when all the Apostles were dead and also when persecution and deception increased dramatically. Today we Christians have the mediator, Christ, who is our connection to YAHWEH and have no need that any man teach us, we are taught by YAHWEH through Jesus Christ only, all men that claim otherwise are liars.

My brother, your truth stands as fact, but I would like to address a topic that should go along with your statement:

In the absence of an apostle to focus a group of true believers to gather, we would seem to be without "the church." We'd have no upper rooms in which to gather as there would be no one to call for the gathering. To find someone to say "Hey, lets get together and break bread and observe communion as Yeshua did." Without that, there would be no conversations, no discussions over the truths in scripture, and little growth. Now, I think this would be a handicap for those who are called to follow Yeshua unless an individual also feels the call to gather true believers together. I think God gives the impetus for individuals to gather together, break the bread and drink the wine in remembrance, and share scripture. That person may be called to gather them together, cause thought, and share revelations. It does not require an apostle.

I have found, so far, that these gatherings are rare.

The church now is in the wilderness, a spiritual wilderness. The church is scattered to the four winds. There is no ministry because Christ and YAHWEH only are the ministry and we the saints are taught by divine revelation from the FATHER through the son. In this sense we are all prophets and prophetesses being taught in like manner as the prophets, Jesus and the Apostles. The elect saints are in very small groups fellowshipping whenever they can. They study, pray and have the bread and wine on these occasions. They love YAHWEH and their neighbors, obey the message of the gospel and keep themselves unspotted from the world. We are scattered now but at the return of Christ will be gathered from the four winds and fulfill Psalm 149 Psalm 149:1 & Revelation 14:3 Revelation 2:26,27 & Psalm 149:6,7,8,9 Jude 1:14,15 Isaiah 24:21,22 2 Thessalonians 1:6,7,8 Jeremiah 51:20,21,22,23,24 Isaiah 41:15,16 Joel 2:1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11
