In our previous episode I promise to elaborate on the Jesus and Judas saga. Judas had to die before Jesus and died the way he did according to the prophesy.
Lately, i got so interested about the whole Judas and Jesus thing and the holy spirit started an elaborate explanation as to why things went the way they happened and am glad to share with you. Hope you learn a new truth and something very profound.
The truth is that, Jesus actually needed a Judas to fulfil the will of the Father as the case may be, but I feel Judas also needed a Jesus if he must have ended up well. I don't believed that some people have been predestined to end in doom and shame, check Jeremiah 29:11.
But at one point i felt Judas was seriously marginalized in the contract, used and dumped, let's find out on this one.
History treated Judas very harshly because he fulfilled divine purpose.
If I may ask you, would you name your son JUDAS? Your answer is as good as my guess.
That's why Christians today would never name their children JUDAS because they feel it's a bad name and they're not comfortable with it, but that's ignorance gone too far (anyway, that's just by the way).
Judas has to be the most reviled person in human history.
His name is synonymous with infamy though it actually means Praise. It’s from Loudas, the Greek form of Judah. Another variant is Jude. The meaning of his surname “Iscariot” is the subject of conjecture however.
Probably a derivative of Ish Kerioth i.e. man of Kerioth, a town in the tribe of Judah. (Joshua 15:25)
Judas’ principal accomplishment in life was that he betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. Judas loved money.
He exemplified the saying the love of money is the root of all evil. (1 Timothy 6:10) He was a crook, an embezzler of funds.
John outrightly called him a thief. (John 12:6) But what if he didn’t betray Jesus, would history have changed? Would things have turned out differently for humanity? Would Jesus have gone to the cross?
Well, unknown to many, if Judas didn’t betray Jesus two people in particular would have lost credibility as prophets. Because in their generation they had a very formidable reputation of accurate prophecies. As such they were highly esteemed and respected.
The two men are Zechariah and David. They were the ones who prophesied the treachery of Judas.
Those prophecies were hyper-realistic.
It was as if they were watching a video. They captured Judas in reflections and conversations.
TO BE CONTINUED
This is where time would permit me to stop on this episode. Don't want to bore you with too much write ups.
You are Blessed, Shalom!
