Question 45 - The woes in the story of the death of Judas!

Acts 1:18 NKJV - Now this man purchased a field with the wages of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his entrails gushed out.

           Matthew 27:5-7 NKJV - Then he threw down the pieces of silver in the temple and departed, and went and hanged himself. But the chief priests took the silver pieces and said, "It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, because they are the price of blood." And they consulted together and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in.

Answer:

                The knowledge, decisions and deeds of the Lord God are impossible to understand to the man. So, the atheist brother had vertigo by reading regarding Judah Iscariot’s death, as it is written in one place that he fell headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his entrails gushed out; and it is written in another place that he hanged himself.

                Commonly, the one who tether to hang himself, drops from the high place to down, then the rope ties tightly around his neck and he will die. When Judah Iscariot dropped from the high place, the hanging rope would have been loosened and made him to inverted position.  At first Judah Iscariot brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders. Thereafter, he threw down the pieces of silver in the temple, and hanged himself in high place i.e. on the hills. In this way, Judah Iscariot died.

                Another proof is written in Matthew 27:51-52. “And behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split, and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised.”

                Even though Judah Iscariot hanged himself with a rope, his rope and the base for the rope were cut off by the earth quacks and the rocks splits out according to the words written in Matthew 27:51-52. So, he fell down in the valleys of great mountains headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his entrails gushed out. Totally, it is proved that the wages of sin is death.

                Thereafter, the chief priests took the silver pieces and brought the potter’s field, to bury strangers in, with silver coins. These silver coins are the price of blood as in Matthew 27:6. So, the field, which was brought from the potter, is also called the field of blood to this day. Who was the master for these silver coins? So, it is written in the Acts of the Apostle 1:18 that this man (Judah Iscariot) purchased a field with the wages of iniquity.
