Question 28 - Will Judah Iscariot be the judge?

Matthew 19:28 NKJV - So Jesus said to them, "Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”

John 6:70 NKJV - Jesus answered them, "Did I not choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?"

Mark 14:21 NKJV - "The Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had never been born."

Answer:

                Matthew 19:28, Jesus said, “You who have followed Me”, Judah Iscariot did not follow the Lord Jesus and deviated from Him by the surrounding of the spirit of Satan. So, the Acts of the Apostles 1:26, “Matthias was numbered with the eleven apostles as the 12th one instead of Judah Iscariot.”

                Mark 14:21 “The Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had never been born”. So, the Judah Iscariot’s life ended in terrible state and middle, because he handed over the son of man. He should not be treated as an apostle. At least he is not fit to be in the position of martyr.  What kind of terrible crime did Judah Iscariot do? It is equal to the crime of David, who ravished a woman and murdered her husband.

                David was chased by his son according to his sins which he did. He was in deserts with the fear of death and rectified his life in the Lord by the repentance for his sins. As in Luke 1:32, he could achieve a throne on his name. But, Judah Iscariot decided that he does not desire to live on the earth by handing over the Lord the unblemished one to the terrible death. He, who handed over the Lord for the desire on money, left it and threw down the pieces of silver in the temple. And also, he left his pomp and pleasures, got vexation on his life and repentance for his sins; and finally, he handed himself to the terrible death. Judah Iscariot could get the salvation of the Lord by his broken heartedness and repentance for his sins.

                John 21:20-23, then Peter, turning around, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following who also had leaned on His breast at the supper and said, “Lord, who is the one who betrays you?” Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, “But Lord what about this man?” Jesus said to him, “If I will that he remain till I come, what is that to you?  You follow me”.

                But, Judah Iscariot lost the authority to judge the 12 tribes as written in Matthew 19:28.
