Judas Iscariot
August 24, 1995


Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.
And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto
the Lord, is it I. And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish,
the same shall betray me. The Son of man goeth as it is written of him:
but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed!
It had been good for that man if he had not been born.
Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I?
He said unto him, Thou hast said. And as they were eating,
Jesus took bread and blessed it, and broke it, and gave it to the disciples,
and said, Take, eat; this is my body. And he took the cup, and gave thanks,
and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; For this is my blood of the new testament,
which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine,
until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom. (Matthew 26)

And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the Lord your God,
and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.
And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh;
and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams,
your young men shall see visions:
And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
(Joel 2)

For, behold, in those days, and in that time,
when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
I will also gather all nations, and bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat,
and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel,
whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.
And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot,
and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.
Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coast of Palestine?
Will ye render me a recompense? and if ye recompense me,
swiftly and speedily will I return your recompense upon your own head;
Because ye have taken my silver and my gold,
and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things:
The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the Grecians,
that ye might remove them far from their border.
Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold them,
and will return your recompense upon your own head:
And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah,
and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a people far off:
for the Lord hath spoken it. (Joel 3)

And I John saw these things, and heard them, And when I had heard and seen,
I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.
Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellow servant,
and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book:
worship God. And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book:
for the time is at hand. He that is unjust, let him be unjust still:
and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous,
let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me,
to give every man according as his work shall be.
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
Blessed are they that do his commandments,
that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the
city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murders,
and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.
I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. (Revelation 22)

I leave you praying, and I love you,
