Casting Lots

Does Casting Lots have anything to do with God's judgment on the Church?

SALVATION LOT: CHRIST?

JUDGMENT LOT: ANTICHRIST IN TRIBULATION AND JUDGMENT?

Ac 1:26 And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

SUMMARY CONCLUSION

The Bible appears to be relating LOT or the casting of LOTS to Christ Himself. Parting and casting LOT for His garment seems to point to God’s judgment (disposing) on the wicked. The Elect however, receive their LOT as God redeems them from Babylon. The LOT is cast in tribulation and God disposes on both judgment and salvation?
