I left off last week in John 5:43 when Jesus was telling the Jews that the day will come when they will accept a false messiah. He told them that He came in his Father’s name to present Himself as their Messiah and they would not accept Him. When the antichrist comes the Jews will accept him as their messiah. According to the book of Revelation they will make a covenant, a peace treaty, with him for seven years. Halfway through the tribulation the antichrist will break the treaty. Now let’s go back to where we started in John 13:27. This is when Satan actually entered into Judas Iscariot: “And after the sop Satan entered into him...”. Nowhere else in the entire Bible had Satan ever entered into a man. This man then became Satan in human flesh! Jesus Christ is God incarnate. In John 13:27 Judas became Satan incarnate! There is no other man in the Bible like Judas Iscariot. And do you know what? There is nowhere in the Bible that tells us we cannot know the name of the antichrist. Now let’s look a little further. Go back again to John 6 and verse 70. Jesus said: “...Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?” Verse 71: “He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon...” Judas was never a true apostle or a true disciple of Christ. He was never saved; he never accepted Christ as his Redeemer. He was a devil and a deceiver from day one. He went with the other disciples and performed miracles but he always was a liar, a thief, and a devil! Let’s investigate a little more. In John 8:44 Jesus gives some of the characteristics of Satan. He said: “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own; for he is a liar, and the father of it.” Judas is Satan is incarnate. He has the same characteristics as Satan. He is a liar, a thief, and a deceiver. The antichrist has the same characteristics and he will use the same philosophy. Go to Matthew 27:3 where it tells us that Judas repented himself, although some new versions including the new Scofield leave the word himself
DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH www.bbcmtorab.com out. This verse tells us that when he saw that he was condemned he repented himself. He did not repent to God. He just felt sorry for himself because he was found out; he was condemned. You can feel sorry for yourself from now to the cows come home but it will not save your soul. Then in verse 5 the Bible tells us that he went and hanged himself. In Acts 1:18 it tells us: “...and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.” We know that some of the disciples carried swords. Remember, Peter cut off the ear of the high priest’s servant. It make sense that the treasurer who carried the money bag would also carry a sword. We know that Christ hung on the cross; Judas hung himself. He died on the same day that Christ died. The side of Jesus was pierced with a spear according to John 19:34. Judas fell headlong and burst asunder in the midst and all his bowels gushed out. The Bible does not tell us just exactly how all that came about but the similarities of their death was not coincidental. Revelation 13:12 tells us that the antichrist’s deadly wound was healed. I would say that being burst asunder and your bowels gushing out was definitely a deadly wound! In Acts 5:30 and again in Acts 10:39 it tells us that Jesus hung on a tree. Galatians 3:13 states: “...Cursed is everyone that hangeth on a tree.” Two men hung on a tree that day. Jesus Christ and Judas Iscariot. The curse of God was upon Jesus Christ because He was bearing our sins and bore our curse in His own body on that old rugged tree. The curse of God was upon Judas Iscariot also according to Acts 1:20 and according to Psalms. Well, once again I must leave it to be continued.
