1 | Judas is called the son of perdition | Bible general Archive 3 | BradK | 170322 | ||
Hi kalos, Interestingly, I am currently doing a bit of reading and study on A.W. Pink's, The Antichrist. All the more interesting given the most recent news about the surfacing of the "Gospel of Judas" is the comment offered by Pink about Judas in the chapter titled" The Person of the Antichrist": " In John 17:12 we have a word which, more plainly still, shows that the Antichrist will be Judas reincarnated, for here he is termed by Christ "The Son of Perdition." But first, let us consider the teaching of Scripture concerning Judas Iscariot. Who was he? He was a "man" (Matthew 26:24). But was he more than a man? Let Scripture make answer. In John 6:70 we read, "Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a Devil?" It is hardly necessary to say that in the Greek there are two different words for "Devil" and "demon." There are many demons, but only one Devil. Further, in no other passage is the word "devil" applied to any one but to Satan himself. Judas then was the Devil incarnate, just as the Lord Jesus was God incarnate. Christ Himself said so, and we dare not doubt His word. As we have seen, in John 17:12 Christ termed Judas "the Son of Perdition," and 2 Thessalonians 2:3 we find that the Antichrist is similarly designated—"That Man of Sin be revealed, the Son of Perdition." These are the only two places in all the Bible where his name occurs, and the fact that Judas was termed by Christ not a "son of perdition," but "the Son of Perdition," and the fact that the Man of Sin is so named prove that they are one and the same person. What other conclusion can a simple and unprejudiced reader of the Bible come to?" All may not agree however, we can agree that Satan is indeed a liar and such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ (2 Cor. 11:13). Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

BradK: Thanks for posting the comment by Pink about Judas. I find it very interesting. From ID# 27777, originally posted December 21, 2001: 'In this verse Judas is called the son of perdition. "While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled." John 17:12. 'In this verse the antichrist is called the son of perdition. "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;" 2 Thess 2:3.' By the way, last night on the History Channel, there was a 2-hour special entitled "The Antichrist". Very informative! Did you see it? Grace to you, Kalos |
