You are right that Revelations speaks only of 12 apostles. It almost implies that there are just 12 apostles...

You're right, it doesn't say, explicitly, but it seems implied. (To me.)
Act 9:17-18 And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. ...And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.

No doubt that Paul was an apostle...but is this passage about him?
