THAT MAN OF SIN

(The Sons of Perdition)

By Jeffrey David Dean, Sr.

The "Son of Perdition" Is BORN!

Judas Iscariot. The most tragic figure in Scripture. The

betrayer. The apostate apostle of Yahshua Messiah.

Tricked by his own agenda. Deceived by Satan into

believing he was Messiah's "most beloved" apostle. Made

to believe he would be the apostle who was instrumental in

"bringing about the Kingdom of God on Earth," he sold his

master to their enemies for 30 pieces of silver, all the while

believing he had been directed to do so by Messiah himself,

betrayed his master to the soldiers of Rome with a kiss and

hanged himself in the end.

In this article, we will be looking at the "last supper" (as it

is called), although it was actually not the last supper.

Yahshua ate with them quite a few more times after he rose

from the dead and indeed there will be a great "wedding

feast soon," so it's a bit of a misnomer to call it the "last"

supper. This was Messiah's final passover before the

betrayal It is referred to as "the last supper" by most,

therefore, reluctantly that's what I will call it in this article.

At the last supper, Yahshua Messiah waited until Judas left

to betray him before he gave the disciples some of his most

important teachings of his ministry! Judas Iscariot missed

out on these teachings and that was no coincidence.

Yahshua chose the time deliberately so that Judas would


2/85

become a "type" for all who claim to serve and follow

Yahshua, yet have betrayal and personal ambition in their

hearts. Like Judas, anyone who has an unclean heart will

miss out on the most important truths concerning thepurpose of the crucifixion of Messiah.

In the end, after realizing how badly he had been "played"

by Satan, Judas went out and took his own life in despair.

Thus he became the type for those followers of Messiah

who would destroy themselves with their conduct and

behavior! Judas, oh Judas, the lost one, forever taking on

the name "son of perdition." He became the arch type forall those who would betray Messiah even while being

counted as "one of his followers."

Judas Iscariot's voice can be heard today. I am talking, of

course about the spirit of antimessiah (or antichrist if you

must), which Judas Iscariot embodies! It is no longer a

mystery what motivated Judas Iscariot and led him down

his personal path of perdition!

(Yahshua prays to the Father for his

disciples)Gospel of John 17:12

"While I was with them in the world, I

kept them in your name: those that you

gave me I have kept, and none of them islost, but the son of perdition; that the

scripture might be fulfilled."

Many people through the ages have thought it would be

awesome to be a "fulfillment" of a scripture, yet, as we see


3/85

in the case of Judas Iscariot, this is not always a good thing.

What an awesome and terrible fate, to deceive yourself and

fulfill the scriptures concerning them that deceive

themselves! Judas Iscariot, it seems, could not "endureuntil the end." He started out following Yahshua, but

something was wrong in his heart, he was a "bad seed," so

to speak, he just couldn't continue as a follower of Yahshua

and tragically, in the end, he succumbed to the fleshly urges

and lure of the devil. For you see, Judas Iscariot had other

desires- worldy power, the status that comes with doing

something great in the world, his blind ambition led him to

misunderstand the words of Messiah and to betray the onehe claimed to followed, all the while believing he was, in

fact, being an obedient servant!

Judas Iscariot thought that "his status as a follower of

Yahshua" made him "immune to the punishment of the

law!" He thought that because he had been chosen as a

disciple, this meant he had found favor with God, and so he

could go out and "betray innocent blood" with impunity.

That is how he could bring himself to do the dispicable

things that he did. He believed that since his salvation was

"in the bag," being a follower of Yahshua, he could go out

and do something sinful, in violation of Moral Law and still

remain a chosen follower, because he believed by doing his

act he was taking part in the redemption of man, by

facilitating some "demonstration of power," on the part ofMessiah. There is every indication that Judas believed his

acts of betrayal actually made him even more favored with

God! Judas was deceived by a very old trick of Satan.

(Balam the prophet fell for this very same trick, intending


4/85

to curse Israel for financial gain and thinking that God was

somehow going to condone this).

I know many of you are skeptical, because, lets face it, not

a lot of detail is actually written about this sad Apostle,other than the fact that he betrayed Yahshua; However,

from the one single quote we have of Judas Iscariot, from

his behavior, and from the timing of his actions we can

piece together much of what was in his mind when he

betrayed the only begotten Son of God into the hands of

evil men. We know that he became "the son of perdition,"

and that phrase became a byword for all those who fallaway from the truth and believe a lie!

THE ONLY QUOTE FROM JUDAS

John 12:3-6

"3 then took Mary a pound of ointment

of spikenard, very costly, and anointedthe feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with

her hair: and the house was filled with

the odor of ointment.

4 Then said one of his disciples, Judas

Iscariot, simon's son, which should

betray him,

5 Why was this ointment not sold for

three hundred pence, and given to the


5/85

poor?

6 This he said, not that he cared for the

poor; but because he was a thief, andhad the bag, and bore what was put in

there."

John states plainly that Judas was a thief! Evidently the

Apostle John knew Iscariot better than the writers of the

other Gospels, because this is the only place where Judas'

character is explored, aside from the subject of his betrayal.Evidently he cared about money too and was in control of

the finances of the group. We can see here that Judas used

the pretense of collecting money for the poor to line his

own pockets!

So, who really knows exactly what Judas was thinking

when he betrayed the Messiah? Let's examine his spirit a

bit closer. Actually, the moment when Judas Iscariot beganto plot against Messiah is recorded in the Gospel of John.

Before I go into this, however, (for I will have to here quote

a very lengthy chapter of the Bible) I want to summarize

Judas' critical error.

There is much evidence that Judas misunderstood the

words of Yahshua and thought that Messiah was claiming

to have come down to earth from Heaven, literally! Thismisunderstanding came about during a very important

sermon of Messiah's. During this sermon, the Jews, many

disciples, along with Judas Iscariot misunderstood the

Messiah to be "claiming that he was God (in person)," and


6/85

it was during this sermon when Judas Iscariot began to

entertain one of two notions:

1. Yahshua was claiming to be God himself, and

therefore was a false Messiah, who had to beexposed, or

2. Yahshua really was God in the flesh and

therefore could not be killed.

Both errors would be based on the misguided notion that,

during one of his famous sermons, Messiah was claiming to

be God himself, come down to earth and, either way, it wasthis misguided notion led Judas down the dark path to his

ultimate destruction!

We find this Sermon in the Gospel of John chapter 6. In

order to understand the sermon, however, and it's

significance, we need to understand what had just

transpired prior to the sermon. Yahshua had just perfomed

one of his most notorious miracles. He had used fiveloaves of bread and two small fish and fed a multitude.

The Apostles themselves (including Judas Iscariot) were, of

course, the only ones who saw the entire miracle up close

and knew the magnitude of what had been done. The rest

of the multitude knew only that Messiah was able to feed

them. After this miracle, the Apostles all beheld Yahshua

walking on the water! I also believe that it was during thistime that Yahshua stilled the storm on the sea by calling to

the wind and waves to be still (that account is found in

Mark chapter 4).

Mark 4: 41


7/85


8/85

God?

29 Yahshua answered and said to them,

'This is the work of God, that youbelieve on him who HE sent."

The multitudes were largely unaware of howYahshua had

just fed them all (with a mere five loaves and two fish).

They only knew that he seemed to be able to feed them,

with an inexhaustible supply of food. Yahshua uses this

feeding as a symbolic example of how he would be to them

the bread of life through his teachings and example, tellingthem that all they have to do is believe and obey!

John 6:30-31

"30 They said therefore to him, what

sign do you show us then that we may

see and believe you, what have youdone?

31 Our fathers ate manna in the desert;

as it is written, He gave them bread

from heaven to eat."

They were asking Yahshua if the bread with which he hadjust fed the multitudes had come from heaven because they

were astonished by the amount of bread that had just been

handed out and didn't know it's origins. They were asking

him if this was something he did, or if it was something


9/85

that God had sent from heaven, just like the manna.

Yahshua had a very interesting answer to this question.

John 6:32- 33

"32 Then Yahshua said to them, "Truly,

truly I say to you, Moses did not give

you bread from heaven, but my Father

gives you the true bread from heaven.

33 For the bread of God is he whichcomes down from heaven, and gives life

to the world."(Which everyone KNOWS

is the BREATH OF LIFE, or the

BREATH OF God... the HOLY SPIRIT)!

If you know your scriptures you must realize now that

Yahshua was here talking about the Spirit of God, when hespoke of the bread from heaven. How do we know this?

Yahshua's own words, which were actually a quote from

the Tanakh. Yahshua used this quote when he was tempted

of the Devil in the wilderness.

Matthew 4: 3-4

"3 And when the tempter came to him,he said, If you are the Son of God,

command that these stones be made

bread.


10/85

4 But he answered and said, It is

written, Man shall not live by bread

alone, but by every word that proceedsout of the mouth of God."

The bread from heaven is actually "every word that

proceeds from the mouth of God." Who is the mouth of

God? Yahshua became the mouth of God. What do we

expell when we speak? Breath. Try talking without

expelling breath! It can't be done! When God speaks he

uses his mouth and the words are called, the "breath" ofGod, or the Holy Spirit! Anyone speaking through the

unction of the Holy Spirit literally becomes the mouth of

God!

Yahshua was not the Holy Spirit, yet, he became the Word

made flesh, by becoming a living example in the flesh of

every word that proceeds from the mouth of God the

Father. Thus, through the Holy Spirit, Yahshua became awalking, breathing, fleshly example of the breath of God.

His every word, his every deed came forth from the breath

of God, the Holy spirit! Anyone who looked at Yahshua

was looking right at the Word of God and in fact when they

looked at Yahshua they were (in a way) looking at God,

because Yahshua had been remade into the very image of

God. This was done to prove that a mortal man could onceagain be found in the image of God! Yahshua was not

claiming to be the Holy Spirit, in person, he was teaching

us how to become the living embodiment of the Word, by

his example! This is why the Gospel of John starts out by

referring to Messiah in this manner:


11/85

John 1:14

"And the word was made flesh, and

dwelt among us, (and we beheld hisglory, the glory as of the only begotten

of the Father,) full of grace and truth."

John 6: 34

"Then they said to him, Master,

FOREVER, give us this BREAD!"Actually, Yahshua did give us this bread when he went to

the crucifixion and then rose again. He signified this to us

at the last supper by the breaking of bread and the teachings

he gave the Apostles after he broke the bread. Yet Judas

Iscariot missed those teachings, which were actually the

explanation of the bread of life sermon Yahshua had given

earlier. How the bread that gives eternal life would be

delivered to us through the crucifixion! Judas only heard

the bread of life sermon, but never got the explanation at

the last supper, because he ran out right after the breaking

of the bread and went to betray Messiah! More on this

later, but remember this connection of the bread teaching to

when Judas ran out to betray Messiah, we will get back to it

and it's significance.

After they asked Yahshua to give them this bread from

Heaven, he speaks in more riddles.

John 6: 35-38


12/85


13/85

Yahshua did not really come down from Heaven, literally,

any more than he is literally a "loaf of bread!" If we

conclude that the "coming down from heaven" part is

literal, we have to conclude that the "bread" part of thisteaching is also literal, therefore Messiah is a loaf of bread!

Yet, interestingly enough, Catholics picked up on this

logical truth and state in their Eucharist Dogma that anyone

who denies that Messiah is literally the bread is worthy of

death.

Therefore, they know that my argument is sound and go to

great lengths to make their followers believe that the breadthat is handed out in the Eucharist Ceremony is literally the

body of Messiah. Yet, I assure you, friends, Yahshua

Messiah is not a loaf of bread and for that same reason I

can assure you he did not literally come down from Heaven

at the day of his birth! He is speaking here figuratively!

John 6:39-40

"39 And this is the Father's will who

sent me, that of all which he has given

me I should lose nothing, but should

raise it up again in the last day.

40 And this is the will of him that sent

me, that every one who sees the Son, and

believes on him, may have everlasting

life: and I will raise him up at the last

day."


14/85

Here is where they began to really misunderstand Messiah.

They thought he was saying that he was God, come down

from heaven, and had the power to raise them all from the

dead if they would just believe in his Diety! They didn'tunderstand that he was speaking figuratively about "coming

down from heaven."

One thing we have to remember is that even when Yahshua

raised Lazarus from the dead He made it clear that he did

not do it, but the Father in Heaven did the work!

(Something that would have very little meaning if Messiah

was in fact the Father come down to earth). So likewise,when we rise from the dead, on the last day, the day of

salvation, it won't be Yahshua raising us, it will be God

who raises us from the dead. So why did Yahshua say "I

will raise him up on the last day?" Because, his is the name

by which we shall be saved and it was his WORK of

crucifixion and our belief in the same that raises us up! It

is his act of obedience and his sacrifice that raises us, being

stamped on us as the mark of God, when we obey the

Father through our Faith, after his example! It is our faith

in Yahshua and the obedience that results which causes us

to be raised up in the last day. Therefore, even though God

is doing the raising, he's doing it because of Yahshua,

soYahshua could make the statement, "I will raise him up

on the last day," without making any claim that he was

God! No one but eleven Apostles and a handful ofdisciples understood this truth. The rest clearly thought

Yahshua was claiming to be God because only God has the

power to give life! (To this day apologists use this

statement of "Christ" as proof that he was claiming to be


15/85

God incarnate, they are STILL making this same mistake).

Incidentally, as proof that many do not even understand

that God is the only one with the power to ressurect from

the dead, I would like to point out that many "prophetic"teachers are now saying that Satan has the power to give

life! Research this, you'll find out I'm right. When theyteach concerning the "antichrist" and the end times, many

believe that Satan will raise the antichrist from the dead,and that's why the world will worship him! Thus these

"learned scholars" appear to not understand that only God

can raise the dead. In fact, Messiah's ressurection was theonly proof he offered that he was the Messiah! If Satancan "duplicate" this, it means that Messiah's ressurection

didn't prove a thing! This may seem off the subject but itisn't, for, you see, when Revelation speaks of a "beast," that

is "wounded and dies," but then resurrects, we know that

Satan cannot raise the dead, therefore, the false Messiahand the true Messiah have that in common! Could it be,

the false Messiah is CLAIMING to be who that was"wounded unto death but the deadly wound was healed?"

Better put, could it be that those who PROPOGATE thefalse Messiah claim that he's the True Messiah who was

"dead, but alive again?" Interesting to ponder, isn't it?

John, in the book of Revelation, Chapter 13, predicted that

Rome (the fourth kingdom of Daniel) would create a new

Messiah, give him a different name, a Greek name, call him

God, and change the words of Messiah so that the new

Messiah they create will "open his mouth in blasphemy

against God." The world is told that this man is "God in the

Flesh," and that the Roman Emporer is his "spokesperson."


16/85

Yet this beast will be a creation of the Roman Church, he

won't actually have existed at all but will be a false

man/God Messiah they create based upon the teachings and

record of the true Messiah, but with Pagan blasphemiesthrown in, blasphemies like there's more than one God.

Thus the Romans will teach their "beast" rose from the

dead and the world will believe it because they think they

are following the TRUE Messiah who indeed did rise from

the dead!

The world will be deceived by a false Messiah who the

Romans claim to be God in the flesh, who the Romansteach "was God, is not God, and yet is God." The Romans

will use the record of the true Messiah's ressurection as the

record of their false Messiah's resurrection. The world will

follow this beast, thinking they are following the true

Messiah, but it will not be the Messiah they are following

but a twisted and perverted version of the true Messiah!

Yet the Romans will not succeed in deceiving everyone.The point I'm trying to make is that Satan can not raise his

followers from the dead! So, when Yahshua said "I shall

raise you up in the last day," Yahshua was talking to

dedicated Hebrews who all knew and understood that only

God can raise the dead! They thought he was claiming to

be God Himself! Here's their reaction.

John 6:41-51

"41 The Jews then murmured at him

because he said, I am the bread which


17/85

came down from heaven.

42 And they said, Is this not Yahshua,

the son of Joseph, whose father andmother we know? how is it then that he

says "I came down from heaven?"

43 Yahshua, therefore answered and

said to them, 'Murmur not among

yourselves.44 No man can come to me, except the

Father who sent me draws him: and I

will raise him up at the last day.

45 It is written in the prophets 'and they

shall be all taught of God." Every mantherefore that has heard, and has

learned of the Father, comes to me.

46 Not that any man has seen the

Father, except he who is OF God, he

has seen the Father.47 Truly, truly I say to you, he that

believes on me has everlasting life


18/85

48 I am the bread of life.

49 Your fathers did eat manna in the

wilderness, and are dead.

50 This is the bread which comes down

from heaven, that a man may eat

thereof, and not die.

51 I am the living bread that came down

from heaven: if any man eat of thisbread, he shall live for ever: and the

bread that I will give is my flesh, which I

will give for the life of the world."

Anyone who has the Spirit, like Messiah, can "see the

Father" through the "eyes of the Spirit." Even Yahshua's

own words elsewhere, repeated over and over again make it

clear that by himself he could "do nothing" and that it was

the Father who did the works!" The BREAD that comes

from Heaven is the Holy Spirit and Messiah's words came

directly from the Father through the Holy Spirit. Few

listening to Messiah's sermon at the time understood this

(and in fact few within Christiandom today understand

this).

Yahshua tells them here in parables (symbolism) that

through his giving of his flesh on the crucifixion, he would

give us the living bread which is the Holy Spirit and

ultimately would, in so doing, "raise them up on the last


19/85


20/85

Jesus is God Incarnate! To accept the deity of Christ one

MUST accept that Jesus is literally the "bread from

heaven." Catholics know that protestants and evangelicals

who want to accept the deity of Christ but reject theEucharist (the bread as the literal body of Christ) are in

SERIOUS error! You can't say that Jesus is God and yet

deny the literal "bread" that comes down from heaven!

John 6: 53-59

"53 Then Yahshua said to them, "Truly,

truly I say to you, except you eat theflesh of the Son of man, and drink his

blood, you have no life in you.

54 Whosoever eats my flesh and drinks

my blood has eternal life; and I will

raise him up at the last day.55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my

blood is drink indeed.

56 He that eats my flesh, and drinks my

blood dwells in me and I in him.

57 As the living Father has sent me, and

I live by the Father: so he that eats me,

even he shall live by me.


21/85

58 This is that bread which came down

from heaven: not as your fathers did eat

manna and are dead: he that eats of thisbread shall live for ever.

59 These things said Messiah in the

synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum."

When Yahshua started rambling on and on about "eating

his flesh and drinking his blood," many of the disciples

began to falter. They began to doubt his sanity and beganto doubt his teachings. Judas Iscariot began to believe that

either Messiah was indeed God, come down to earth, or he

was a lunatic who needed to be exposed!

One thing is for sure, though, Judas thought Yahshua was

claiming to be God. Most of the people there did! (Many

today STILL believe this) I believe Judas got it into his

head that Yahshua wanted the Jews to try and kill him, sothat he could prove for once and for all that he was God.

There were many statements made by Messiah during his

ministry that seemed to be a challenge to the Jews to try

and kill him. For example, one day, Yahshua announced to

them, "destroy this temple and in three days my Father

will raise it again." Everyone understood this

proclomation to be a challenge that "if you kill me I will

rise again after three days." The Jews even requested that

Pilate post a guard at the tomb after the crucifixion because

everyone understood Messiah to be challenging them that

they could not kill him but within three days he'd be alive


22/85

again! We know that Judas Iscariot was aware that

Yahshua was speaking of his body when he said "this

temple." This is only just one statement of Yahshua that if

one believes his is claiming to be God one can take to meanthat Yahshua was defying the Jews and daring them to try

and kill him!

Judas was the first follower of Messiah to actually

"believe" he was "God come down to earth," and decided to

act according to that belief, (or, at the very least Judas

decided that Christ was claiming to be God and needed to

be stopped) I, myself, am convinced that Judas believed ifMessiah was going to prove he was God, somehow the

Priests had to be convinced to try and have him arrested

and put to death. It was a dirty job and, Judas thought,

someone's got to do it, or he'll never be able to prove he's

God!

The ILLOGIC of Judas

Just as Judas was illogical to think that Yahshua needed to

have them try to kill him to prove he was God, it is not

logical to believe that Yahshua's ressurection proved he

was God because, God is an eternal God, he will never die!

The only thing the death and resurrection proves is that

Yahshua was not God! Otherwise, his death would have to

be a sham, a show and not real at all! If we say Yahshua

was God, then we are saying he didn't really die! Wewould be saying that only his body died, but his spirit was

immortal. However, the Apostles discussed this very error

in their epistles.


23/85

Romans 15:17

"17 And if Messiah be not raised (from

the dead) your faith is vain; you are yetin your sins. "

You see, if Messiah did not really die, then he did not really

rise from the dead and we have no real proof to hope for a

ressurection of our own, because we will die, for real! Let's

break this down into further logical terms.

1. If Messiah was God and wasimmortal, what would his

ressurection mean to us mortals? It

would mean absolutely nothing,

because how does the ressurection of

an immortal being, who came downto earth as a man and pretended to

die, prove that we mortal beings can

likewise rise from the dead?

2. If Messiah was God, and wasimmortal, then he really couldn't

have died for our sins, because God

cannot be tempted to sin. Therefore,


24/85

if Messiah was never tempted of sin,

he cannot then be an acceptable

sacrifice, for his righteousness camenaturally to him. If Messiah did not

die for our sins then there is no

remission of sins and, therefore, we

are all still servants to our sin,

forever! Furthermore, what would

his ability to "not sin ever" mean tous? Of course he didn't sin, he was

God! His righteousness, therefore,

has no value to us and does not

demonstrate any sort of power over

sin that we could ever possess

because we are not God and he was!

3. If Messiah was God, then he was

also a charlatan, who perpetrated a

hoax on us, by pretending to die,

when in point of fact he didn't really

die! Every time he spoke of himself

as someone else, other than the

Father, he was lying and every time


25/85

he said "my works are not my own,"

he was also lying! Not only that, if

the Apostles believed that Messiahwas the eternal immortal God, they

were all liars when they taught that

He "died" for our sins, because they

would have all known that an

immortal God cannot die and they

were lying when they said "he sits atthe right hand of God." They would

have known that he is in fact God

and sits on the throne, not at the right

hand of the throne!

4. If Messiah was God, an immortal

being, then the only thing that would

prove this would be if he could not

be killed! Yet, the apostles teach

that he was in fact killed and lay

dead in a tomb for 3 whole days and

nights! The minute Yahshua died on

the crucifixion and the spirit of life

exited him and he remained dead for


26/85

any period of time, this settled

forever the question of whether or

not Messiah was God! The deathand resurrection are proof positive

that he was not God at all but was

indeed a mortal man!

Judas Iscariot and the other eleven apostles all knew that

God does not die, being immortal! Everyone present that

day of Yahshua's sermon knew that! That is why when hespoke of "giving them his flesh" it made little sense to most

of them, unless he was claiming to be God! How can any

being (mortal or immortal) give you his flesh to eat and his

blood to drink and yet live? Therefore, Yahshua was

perceived as a lunatic by some because in one breath he

seemed to claim to be eternal and able to offer them a bread

that would make them eternal, too, then in that same breath

telling them that He was that bread and was going to die to

give them his flesh and blood for their salvation! He then

compounded this seeming contradiction with what

appeared to be "wild eyed" claims that he wanted them to

eat his flesh and drink his blood! No wonder many

disciples left him that day! He wasn't making sense to them

(in their carnal minds).

Judas Iscariot, (as did most of the others present) must have

thought that the only way Yahshua was going to prove that

he was God to anyone, was for them to try and kill him and

it sounded as if he was practically begging them to do so!

This is not an unknown concept in pagan religions. Many


27/85

ancient religions, including greek mythology are replete

with stories and myths of gods who came to the earth, or

"sons of gods," and who proved their deity by challenging

the unbelievers to try and kill them! One such myth wasHercules son of Zues.

Judas Iscariot, being the pagan that he was, simply thought

that Yahshua was issuing a challenge, whereby they were

to try and break his flesh and pour his blood out on the

ground like wine! He apparently took this challenge to

heart, for, the record indicates that many believed arranging

this test was in the best interests of all concerned. IfYahshua did not die, he could always say "well I betrayed

him because I knew he was immortal and could not die,"

and thereby would be praised for his great faith, or else, if

he arranged this test and Yahshua did die, he would be a

hero for exposing a fraud who claimed to be God, but yet

could be killed! The record bears out that when Yahshua

died, Judas went out and hanged himself, which tells us he

really did not expect Messiah to die. He really believed

Messiah was God and could not be killed.

There is much evidence that the Jews considered Yahshua's

death final proof that he was a fraud. They were shouting

at Him while he hung on the crucifixion, saying, "he healed

others why can't he heal himself!" It is my belief that Judas

actually thought he was helping Messiah to prove himself

when he arranged to betray Messiah! I can hear some of

you asking the question, "how do you know Judas was

thinking all of this?" He hasn't even been mentioned so far

in this whole chapter? Well here it is!


28/85

John 6:60-71

" 60 Many therefore of his disciples,

when they heard this, said, This is ahard saying: who can listen to it?

61 When Yahshua knew in himself that

his disciples murmured at it, he said to

them, "does this offend you?"

62 What and if you should see Son ofman ascend up where he was before?

63 It is the spirit that quickens: the flesh

profits nothing: the words that I speak to

you, they are spirit, and they are life.

64 But there are some of you that do not

believe. For Yahshua KNEW FROM

THE BEGINNING WHO THEY WERE

THAT BELIEVED NOT, and WHO

SHOULD BETRAY HIM.

65 And he said, therefore said I to you,that no man can come to me, except it

were given to him of my Father.


29/85

66 From that time many of his disciples

went back, and walked no more with

him.67 then said Yahshua to the twelve,

"Will you also go away?"

68 Then Simon answered him, Master,

to whom shall we go? You have the

words of eternal life.69 And we believe and are sure that you

are the Messiah, the son of the living

god.

70 Jesus answered them, "Have not I

chosen you twelve, and one of you is adevil?

71 He spoke of Judas Iscariot, the son of

Simon: for he it was that should betray

him, being one of the twelve."

Judas must have heard Yahshua say "what if you see theson of man ascend up where he was before," and that made

it clear in the poor man's confused mind that Yahshua was

definately claiming to have descended down from Heaven.

However, some believe the phrase "ascend up to Heaven"


30/85

was changed to "ascend up where he was before," by the

translators. According to several experts the translators

could do this because "where he was before" is implied in

the context. Yet, it's only implied if you think Messiah isliterally a loaf of bread that "came down from Heaven." As

I said before, Messiah is not a loaf of bread and was clearly

speaking figuratively here. Even if the phrase "where he

was before," is not an altered translation, there can be one

explanation as to what he meant by this. It could be

Messiah was prophesying here concerning the events after

his death and ressurection, culminating in his final

ascending to Heaven before their very eyes in Acts 1: 9-10!

So what did Yahshua mean when he said "where he was

before?" Again, he was acting as the "proxy," and speaking

of himself figuratively as "the bread of heaven." It's not that

complicated, really. Whenever he says "I came down," or

"I will go up from where I came," he's speaking in a

figurative sense about being "the bread that came down

from Heaven." Unless you want to believe he actually was

a loaf of bread that came down from Heaven, in which

case, he was speaking literally when he said "what if you

see me go back up from where I came."

In order to believe what they teach concerning this we have

to believe in the "pre-existence" of Messiah as God, we'd

have to believe in the notion that Messiah was up in

Heaven sometime before he spoke his sermon concerning

"the bread from heaven," and there is no scriptural evidence

of this. The Torah does not teach "pre-existence." That is a

concept found only in pagan religions. If we believe he

literally meant "where he was before," we have to believe


31/85

that Messiah is actually God himself and knew that he was

God and, therefore, when he spoke about the Father in

Heaven as if he was someone else, he was being deceptive.

Later when the disciples say "he sits at the right hand of theFather in Heaven," they too were being deceptive, for if he

is God and he has returned to Heaven, he would not sit "at

the right hand of God in Heaven," but would sit, as God, on

the throne!

Friends, let's be reasonable, if Messiah was actually God,

why wouldn't he merely just say so? Why put on some

front as if he were someone else? Why would the disciplesrefer to him as someone who is a separate person as God?

Why wouldn't they merely say "and now he's back in

Heaven, sitting on his throne?" Why the subterfuge?

Those who teach this answer, saying, "it's a great mystery

that God doesn't want us to understand." So, in other

words, we are to believe that God is trying to be

deliberately evasive (or mysterious) about who he is and

who Messiah is and yet, he expects us to get to know him

so intimately that we become "just like his son." How are

we going to become just like Messiah and how are we

going to be conformed to the image of God if God won't

even reveal to us who he really is and what is his exact

relationship with his son?

None of the above verses tells us exactly what Judas was

thinking, except that he "did not believe," but what was it,

exactly, that he didn't believe? If Judas did not believe

Yahsuah was God, then why did he not go away like the

other disciples who misunderstood Yahshua? It would

make sense that if Judas Iscariot was offended by Messiah's


32/85

supposed claims of being God himself then Judas would

have left with the others. He did not leave though! Why?

Could he have decided to stick around and spy out an

occassion to turn this "blasphemer," as he saw him, over tothe authorities?

If that is why Judas stayed then why did he hang himself

when Messiah was crucified. You'd think that if Judas was

a man who decided Messiah was a liar or a lunatic and then

plotted against him from then on, when the man was finally

crucified Judas would have been "proud" of his

accomplishment of taking down a blatant false prophet whoclaimed to be God! Yet, at the end of it all, Judas hanged

himself in grief!

There can be only one logical answer. He was not offended

at all when it appeared Messiah claimed to be God. Judas

must have believed that Yahshua was God and in fact

decided he knew a way to prove it! It was here that he

began to plot the Messiah's betrayal, not because hedespised Messiah, but because he saw the betrayal as

accomplishing some "greater good."

If all this is true, then it means that Yahshua called Judas an

unbeliever because Judas believed Messiah was God. Yet,

how can you be called a non-believer for believing

something? Evidently, we learn more about what we "don't

believe," by what we "do believe!" The things that webelieve often times reflect what is hard for us to believe.

For example, if you are faced with a choice, to believe

Messiah was a man or believe Messiah was God, based on

the miracles he performed and you choose to believe he


33/85

was God, you are manifesting that you cannot believe a

man could do such things, even with God's help!

People who believe Messiah was God, do so because they

just can't see themselves following "a man." Where do Iget this? Just go to the Catholic Encyclopedia and look up

the word "Atonement." You will see in there a statement

that Messiah had to be GOD himself or we could not

"accept him as Messiah," because that would make him a

"mere creature," and thus not qualified to be a Messiah.

People who teach Messiah was God just can't believe that a

man who obeys God 100 percent will be granted the powerMessiah demonstrated. They can't believe an obedient man

is granted every thing he asks from God! The person that

looks at Messiah and says "look at all the miracles he

performed," and then concludes "he must be God" has a

faith problem. Such an error reveals true unbelief. Those

who believe Messiah was God have trouble with accepting

that anyone but God could become the ruler of all mankind,the King of Kings and the Master of Masters! They refuse

to believe Messiah is a man, out of pride. The only way

they are going to accept the rulership of Messiah is if he

was God! So they say he was God, but just because they

say he was does not make it so. Just because they have

trouble believing in a man as the Messiah, doesn't mean he

has to be God!

I can't even say how many times someone has said to me

"of course Jesus could do that, of course Jesus was perfect

and never sinned, he was God, but you aren't Jesus!" They

don't believe in the power of God towards man, thus, they


34/85

are unbelievers.

Judas Iscariot stayed as a follower of Messiah that day

because he believed that Yahshua must be God to do the

things he did and make the claims he made! He must havedecided (at that point) to prove that Yahshua was God, by

arranging for him to be put to the ultimate test. So, Judas

came up with a plan, to turn Yahshua over to the Jews.

THE SIGN OF THE BREAD

I asked you to keep in mind the significance of the bread

teaching. At the last supper, when Yahshua broke the breadand said "take, eat, this is my body," Judas Iscariot took

this as a sign (remembering the sermon concerning the

bread) and so went off to betray Yahshua! He had already

made arrangements to do this, but was waiting "an

opportunity." I believe actually Judas was waiting for

Yahshua to tell him to do it! He was waiting for some sort

of sign of indication from Messiah, himself, that it wastime.

Matthew 26:14-16

"14 Then went one of the twelve, called

Judas Iscariot, to the chief priests.

15 And said to them, 'What will you giveme, and I will deliver him to you?' And

they covenanted with him for thirty

pieces of silver.


35/85

16 And from that time he sought

opportunity to betray him."

I point out Judas' prior arrangement with the apostate Jewsbecause, if you don't know of it, you might think that the

Devil possessed Judas during the last supper and somehow

Judas was not in control of his own actions. Nothing is

farther from the truth however; as you can see by the above

quote. Judas, by the time of the last supper, had already

been seeking opportunity to betray Yahshua! So, by the

time of the last supper Judas was, I believe, thoroughly

convinced that Yahshua wanted to be betrayed, so that he

could prove he was God who cannot be killed! Judas

waited for a sign from Yahshua and he appears to get that

sign at last supper.

Matthew 26:20-28

"20 Now, when the evening was come,he sat down with the twelve.

21 And as they did eat he said, Truly I

say to you, that one of you shall betray

me.

22 And they were exceeding sorrowful,and began every one of them to say unto

him, Lord is it I?

23 And he answered and said, He that


36/85

dips his hand with me in the dish, the

same shall betray me.

24 The son of man goes as it is writtenof him: but woe to that man by whom the

son of man is betrayed! it had been good

for that man if he had not been born.

25 Then Judas, which betrayed him,

answered and said, Master, is it I? Hesaid to him 'you have said it."

26 And as they were eating, Yahshua

took the bread and blessed it and broke

it and gave it to the disciples, and said,

"Take eat; this is my body.27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks

and gave it to them, saying, Drink all of

it

28 For this is my blood of the new

testament, which is shed for many forthe remission of sins."

There is some confusion as to whether Judas was even

present during the breaking of the bread and the passing of

the cup. I have read and re-read all four gospel accounts


37/85

and most of them have Judas leaving after the breaking of

the bread and the passing of the cup, (and before the

explanation of the significance of the bread symbolism),

but none of that is important! The important thing to knowis that judas clearly thought Messiah was telling him to go

betray him!

John 13:21-30

"21 When Yahshua had said this, he was

troubled in spirit and testified, and said,

"Truly, truly, I say to you, that one ofyou shall betray me.

22 Then the disciples looked one on

another, doubting of whom he spoke.

23 Now there was leaning on Yahshua's

bossom one of his disciples, whom

Yahshua favored

24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to

him, that he should ask who it should be

of whom he spoke.

25 He then laying on Yahshua's

shoulder said to him, Master who is it?

26 Yahshua answered, He it is, to whom


38/85

I shall give a sop, when I have dipped

it." And when he had dipped the sop, he

gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son ofSimon.

27 And after the sop, Satan entered into

him. then said Yahshua to him, What

you do, do quickly.

28 Now no man at the table knew forwhat intent he spoke this to him

29 For some thought, because Judas

had the bag, that Yahshua had said to

him, Buy what we have need of against

the passover: or that he should givesomething to the poor.

30 He then, having received the sop

went out immediately, and it was night."

Judas saw the bread being broken and remembered the

sermon about "the bread of life," and thought "there it is,

there is my sign!" Judas clearly thought he was doingYahshua's bidding! Then, to add to that, Yahshua dipped a

sop in the water, handed it to Judas and said "go do it,

quickly!" Poor Judas, ran off all excited, thinking he was

the greatest faith apostle in the group, the man that would


39/85

be credited with so believing that Yahshua was God that he

turned him over to his enemies to prove it! We know that

Judas did not expect Messiah to actually die!

Matthew 27:3-5

"3 Then Judas, which had betrayed him,

when he SAW THAT HE WAS

CONDEMNED, repented himself, and

brought again the thirty pieces of silver

to the chief priests and elders.

4 Saying, I have sinned in that I have

betrayed the innocent blood. And they

said, What is that to us? See to that

yourself.

5 And he cast down the pieces of silverin the temple, and departed, and went

and hanged himself."

When Judas saw Yahshua condemned to die, it proved that

he had made a mistake, that Yahshua was not God himself

and that meant that Judas had betrayed an innocent man to

die! He then went to try and undo the damage but thePriests acted like they didn't know what he was talking

about and sent him away. So, he went and committed

suicide! Need I say any more? It is very likely Judas

thought Yahshua was God and therefore could not be


40/85

condemned to death! Judas became the first of those who

claim to follow Messiah yet without understanding of who

he is and Judas is the disciple who followed Messiah

without ever understanding his ministry. Judas is the firstto act upon that misunderstanding by violating the law of

God, thinking that it's ok to violate the law, as long as it

serves the Messiah's plans. Bringing the destruction of his

own life and probably his soul!

JUDAS ISCARIOT'S GOSPEL:

SIN IS AN ACT OF FAITH!

Judas thought it was "ok" to "betray innocent blood," if the

ends justified the means, as long as you are a believer that

Yahshua is God!" Betrayal of innocent blood is directly

forbidden by the Law, but that didn't stop Judas, because he

believed that he was doing an act of faith. His betrayal

became an act of faith in his own mind! In other words

Judas Iscariot equated sin with righteousness! He thought

that he could disobey the Law as long as good came of it!

He convinced himself it's ok to sin, as long as you a

"follower" of Messiah and as long as you believe Messiah

is God! Does this idea sound familiar? It should!

Judas went down in history as the "first son of perdition."

Yahshua gave him that name! Anyone who follows in the

error of Judas to run forward to do harm and to disobey thelaw of God because they think their faith shields them, is

following in Judas' error and becomes a "son of perdition!"

THE BROTHERS OF JUDAS ISCARIOT


41/85

Judas Iscariot's example teaches that committing of sins

will somehow prove our faith! A son of perdition thinks

that God wants them to sin so that God can prove his power

(and his grace). As far as a son of perdition is concerned,when they sin they are doing an act of faith, by believing in

the power of Messiah to cleanse them of their sins through

God's grace because they believe Messiah is their God! A

son of perdition will further conclude that anyone who

attempts to stop sinning is "fallen from grace" and is the

real unbeliever! Sin becomes "faith" in the twisted logic of

the son of perdition and "faith unto righteous obedience," is

now "sin" for, they believe, if I seek to obey God, throughthe law, I am "fallen from grace."

The Gospel of the Son of Perdition not only condones sin,

it encourages it, for sinning proves the so called "truth" of

their faith, that they are saved merely because they believe

Messiah is God! The supposed truth of a son of perdition's

faith is hinged on the idea that God came down to earth and

performed the law for them! Therefore, when they sin, as

long as they believe Messiah is God, they are saved. A son

of perdition might look at you with his glazed eyes and his

mind darkened by deceit and say "believing you are going

to heaven even though you are a horrible sinner, now that is

faith!"

This type of twisted faith is what led Judas Iscariot to go

off and "betray" his Master. He thought his Master wanted

him to do that and by so doing he was proving his faith in

the Messiah and in the Messiah's claims of deity! In other

words, the son of perdition thinks the more he sins the more

he proves the deity of Messiah! It's astounding beyond


42/85

measure that even though Judas Iscariot went out and

hanged himself after Messiah was crucified, still, his way

of thinking managed to survive! Behold, the Gospel

according to Judas, which is, namely, "betray Messiah toprove your faith!"

TO SUM UP JUDAS ISCARIOT

Judas Iscariot counted himself as one

of the disciples of the true Messiah.

Judas Iscariot had no regard forMoral Law which says "do not

betray innocent blood."

Judas was concerned about money,

and claimed it was a "concern for the

poor," but actually he was a thief andonly wanted the money for himself.

There can be no doubt Judas Iscariot was the mold by

which the devil would define the false disciples! It's no

wonder when the Apostle warned of the coming great

apostasy or the great falling away, he mentioned Judas

Iscariot and spoke of a time when the "man of sin, the sonof perdition, would be revealed." He was directly

identifying the false believers to come in the end times with

Judas Iscariot! A follower of Messiah with betrayal in his

heart (and who is ultimately so unable to believe a mortal

man can act as God's proxy he concludes that Messiah


43/85


44/85


45/85

23 I in them, and you in me, that they

may be made perfect in one; and that the

world may know that you have sent me,and has loved them, as you have loved

me."

If Yahshua's oneness with the Father means that he is God

then our oneness, which is the same oneness that Yahshua

had, must mean that we are God, too, right? When the son

of perdition says, "I and the Father are one," he has already

testified that such a statement means you are God!

Furthermore, when the son of perdition says "the Father is

in me," he has already said he believes this statement to

mean "I am the Father!" Further, logic would dictate that

when he says "Jesus lives in me," he is saying he must be

JESUS too, because if "Jesus was God" because God lived

in him, therefore, Jesus lives in me, I must be Jesus and,

therefore, God too! This is the subtlety of false doctrine.The Son of Perdition becomes his own God and savior. It's

no wonder that he doesn't believe he has to obey Moral

Law!

If the oneness of the Father and the Son means that the Son

is the same person as the Father, therefore, the oneness of

Messiah and his followers has to mean that the followers of

Messiah are also God! You cannot get around thisconclusion to the teachings of the Son of Perdition.

There isn't a Catholic scholar who would argue with my

reasoning that "if Messiah being one with God meant that

he was God, therefore, if you are one with Messiah, then


46/85

you too are God." In fact, this is their actual teaching and

as I said before Pope John Paul II VERIFIED this before he

died!

The son of perdition "opposes and exhalts himself aboveGod." When he says he can do "greater works than Jesus,"

and then teaches in the same breath that "Jesus was God,"

what he is really saying is that he can do "greater works

than God!"

When protestants use the same scriptures as Catholics to

prove Messiah was God (the oneness scriptures), they are

consenting to the interpretation of Rome. Thus, they areconsenting to the authority of the Popes, as God's

representative. They just don't know they are doing this.

It must be a constant source of amusement to the Bishops

of Rome.

The son of perdition sits in the temple of God, shewing

himself that he is God! The temple of God is the body ofMessiah! The son of perdition, though he is only a vessel

of the Holy Spirit, "a temple," has deluded himself into

thinking that being a vessel makes a person God in the

flesh! Thus, Rome teaches their Popes are God in the flesh,

by virtue of the power of oneness passed to the Apostles by

Messiah! When protestants use these same interpretations

and conclude Messiah is God, then turn right around and

say they are "one with Jesus," they are actually giving

themselves the same status as Rome gives their Pope. They

are saying that they too are "God in the flesh," or "God's

representative on the earth."


47/85

Do you see why the reformation was such an appalling

thing to the Catholics! You can't have everyone walking

around with the authority of the Pope and yet, in their eyes

that is what Protestantism is all about! If theirinterpretation concerning Messiah, that he is God because

he is "one with the Father," is true, then when the laymen

says "I'm one with God," he's saying he is in fact "God,"

and don't kid yourselves, the Protestant churches

unanimously agree with the Catholics that when Messiah

said "I and the Father are one," he was stating that he was

God!

Do you see the dilemma?

If the Catholic's interpretation of "I and the Father are one,"

and other oneness scriptures are true interpretations, (that

the oneness means you are actually God himself) then the

Protestant believers are taking on the authority of Messiah

and of God whenever they say "Jesus is in me." In which

case when the Protestants broke away from Catholicismthey were in the wrong. If Rome's is right about the deity

of Christ and when Messiah said "I and the Father are one,"

it means that Messiah was saying, "I'm God," it also means

the oneness belongs only to those to whom this oneness

was promised, namely the Apostles and this oneness was

passed down to the Popes of Rome. If we accept Rome's

teaching of Christ as God we must accept their teaching

concerning the succession of this oneness to the apostles, in

which case only the Popes can say "I and Messiah are one,"

for only the Popes are the "Vicars" of Messiah and

subsequently of God!


48/85

When Protestants concede to the notion that Messiah was

claiming deity when he said "I and the Father are one," they

are unwittingly conceding to the authority of the Popes in

Rome! It is these same interpretations of the onenessscriptures that prove the infallibility of the Vatican (in the

minds of a Roman). If you are going to accept this

interpretation, you have to accept the authority of the

interpreters!

The son of perdition is called "the man of sin." The Son of

Perdition is the loudest supporter of the lie that we can

never stop sinning! Who is a "man of sin," but a man thatclings to his sins with a tight white knuckled death grip of

doctrine and states plainly " God wants me to keep sinning

so that I cannot boast!" Who, I ask you, is better defined as

a "man of sin" than a man who teaches that "man was born

in sin and can never escape sin?" (Original Sin Doctrines).

It is quite clear what this "great falling away," was spoken

of by the writer to the Thessalonians!

II Thessalonians 2: 5-7

"5 Remember you not, that when I was

yet with you, I told you these things?

6 And now you know what withholds

that he might be revealed in his time.7 For the mystery of iniquity does

already work, only he who now

PREVENTS will PREVENT until he be


49/85

taken out of the way."

Brethren, do not be a "son of perdition," in your thinking.

Do not give in to the mystery of iniquity! Do you know

that iniquity is another word for sin? The only thing that

was preventing this sinful mystery religion from causing a

"great falling away" was "he who now prevents." Who was

this person that was preventing this great lie until he is

"taken out of the way?" It was Yahshua the Messiah for he

said "I am the way, the truth and the light, no man comes to

the father but by me!"

The writer of this epistle foresaw a day when the sons of

perdition would introduce another "way" of salvation and

Yahshua Messiah would be taken "out of the way." The

Son of Perdition brings us an entirely new Messiah, (one

who is "God in the flesh)," and a new salvation, (sin

remains, so that faith in Jesus as God can be proved)!

II Thessalonians 2:8-12"8 And then shall that WICKED be

revealed, whom the Master shall

consume with the spirit of his mouth,

(which is the BREAD that came down

from Heaven)and shall destroy with thebrightness of his coming:

9 Even him, whose coming is after the

working of Satan with all power and


50/85

signs and lying wonders,

10 and with all deceivableness of

unrigtheousness in them that perish:because they received not the love of the

truth, that they might be saved

11 And for this cause God shall send

them a strong deluding influence, that

they should all believe a lie.12 That they all might be damned who

believed not the truth, BUT HAD

PLEASURE IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS."

My friends, that wicked has been revealed! Who has

pleasure in unrighteousness more than he who says "God

doesn't want or expect me to stop sinning?" Those who

follow the lie of the son of perditionand betray Messiah,

even while claiming to follow him, do not love the truth. If

they did they would not have pleasure in unrighteousness

and would not cling to doctrines that let them go on sinning

and sinning and sinning until they die!

Protestants cannot accept the Catholic interpretation of the"oneness of Messiah" and then turn around and reject that

the Pope is God's representative on the earth! Why not?

Because it is the teaching that Messiah is God (because he

said I and the Father are one) coupled with the promises of

Messiah to the Apostles that they would be "one even as he


51/85

and the Father are one," upon which are built the doctrines

that the Popes are God's representatives. Use logic! If

being one with God makes you God then the promise made

that we would be "one with the Father," cannot apply toEVERYONE! Otherwise, everyone is God and everyone is

God's representative. This is the argument of the Catholic

Dogma and it is unbreakable logic! If the Protestants

accept the teaching the Messiah was God they have NO

CHOICE but to accept that the "oneness" promised to the

followers of Messiah was promised ONLY to the Apostles

and their successors! Everyone can't be God on earth! Be

reasonable!

We therefore have two choices. To believe that Messiah

was God by the "oneness" he described and, therefore, that

"oneness" is not available to us, only to the successors of

the Apostles, or we have to reject that these "oneness"

promises meant that Messiah was God and believe that the

oneness that Messiah had with the Father is available to all

men! You can't believe BOTH that Messiah's oneness

means he's God in the flesh and also that we too are "one

with the Father," not without making us all "God in the

flesh!"

Thus, the Gospel of the son of perdition, Judas Iscariot, has

now reared it's ugly head! We now know that the time of

the return of Messiah to fight with them that betrayed him

is near at hand! Which side will you be on? Will you be

like the eleven apostles who did not abandon Yahshua and

"go away," or, will you be like Judas Iscariot and inevitably

hang yourself in the end?


52/85

I pray for the deceived of the world, that they will wake up

and see. I pray that they will no longer be taken in by the

lies of the son of perdition, Judas Iscariot, the betrayer!

What The Son

Of Perdition MISSED!During the last supper, when Yahshua Messiah broke bread

and passed the cup, (which has been turned a ritual), it held

symbolism of a very deep meaning. Judas Iscariot took thisas a "sign" from Messiah that he would be the one to betray

Messiah and thus prove Messiah was God, to the world.

Judas considered this to be a great honor and he had no

qualms about doing the betrayal even though it was against

Moral Law. Judas must have believed that his "sin" would

do good in the world, by helping Messiah prove his power.

We can relate that to those who teach the more they sin the

more they prove the grace and power of Messiah! JudasIscariot is the "son of perdition," and all who follow after

this same unbelieving spirit of error, (thinking that they

must continue sinning in order to prove their faith in who

Messiah is) are likewise named "son of perdition!" The

great falling away is called "the revelation of the son of

perdition."

For reminder's sake, let me again say that only the worst of

unbelievers can look at the works of Messiah and then,

instead of saying "wow, I want to be just like that," they

say, "I can't be like that, because evidently he must be

God to do all those things!"


53/85

Seeing the works of Messiah and his righteousness he

demonstrated they erroneously conclude that he must be

God! This conveniently excuses them from ever repeating

Yahshua Messiah's great obedience and the demonstrationsof power that result from that obedience. Of course they

don't believe they can repeat them for they believe he's

God. How can they be like Messiah if he was God and

they are just men? Then, to add insult to injury, they then

worship, not only Messiah, but worship his mother as

well, whom we know for a fact was just a woman!

We saw that the "deluding influence" which would come, isassociated with the "son of perdition." Delusions like,

making Yahshua "God himself" and change the nature of

God into a trinity! Thus, we end up with three gods instead

of one, contrary to the Tanakh! The third God thrown in as

the spirit of the first two Gods, which they insist on calling

a "ghost" even though believing in and communicating

with ghosts is strictly forbidden in the law!

All of these delusions listed above came about because

some, like Judas, misinterpret the nature of Yahshua and

twist his teachings concerning "the bread of life," to mean

that he claims to be God come down to earth from heaven!

This is why, when Judas made his "move" to betray

Yahshua he did so right after Yahshua broke bread and said

"take, eat, this is my body, which is broken for you!"

From that moment a great rift has existed among the

disciples of Messiah, between those who misunderstood,

insisting on going from betrayal to betrayal in a futile effort

to prove Yahshua is God and the true believers who


54/85

understand what "the bread of life," means, namely,

pressing on into the kingdom by Messiah's example,

through the power of the Holy Spirit (the true bread and

breath of life).I'm writing this lengthy sermon on Judas Iscariot, because

he is the son of perdition and to underscore once and for all

how Judas Iscariot, the original "son of perdition," left the

room and went to betray Messiah, right after the breaking

of bread symbolism and thus never found out what (the

bread of life) meant, I desire to show how Judas is the

shadow of things to come, namely, all those who followafter his example of error and take on the name "son of

perdition" even as Judas was called!

Leaving The Last Supper Before Imparted Wisdom

We can literally observe the error of Judas Iscariot being

repeated when holy communion is given in modern

organized religion. Those who follow Judas' error rarely

go past the breaking of the bread and the passing of the cupto study their meaning! Usually during sermons the only

time they quote from the account of the "last supper," they

are about to take part in "holy communion" or "holy

eucharist" observance, whereby they pass around

"crackers" and tiny cups of "wine." (Or, the priest

administers the bread and wine to each person).

Those who are steeped in error rarely go into the

explanations of this purely symbolic gesture on the part of

Messiah because when you read the Messiah's explanation

of these symbols, which takes place right after judas left the

room, we begin to understand that Messiah is not God at


55/85

all, cannot be God, and never claimed to be God!

Anyone who has been a Christian for any length of time

and attended "masses" or attended "sunday services" will

recognize this! When you examine in detail the lengthywords spoken by Messiah after the breaking of bread and

his prayers he made to the Father at that time, you begin to

understand what Messiah was really talking about when he

spoke of the "bread of life that came down from heaven!"

Which is why they do not delve into those verses. Instead,

some read the account of the breaking of bread and the

passing of the cup, then they quickly put their Bibles downand hold a ceremony! Just like Judas Iscariot, they never

get past the breaking of bread and passing of the cup but

instead after reading the account of the breaking of bread,

they rush out and away from the last supper, observing

some meaningless ritual that they think symbolizes they

can go on sinning and still be a follower of Messiah, a

ritual they believe signifies the deity!

I'm sure this is a very hard pill for many to

swallow.

It was for me. I did not come to understand the teachings

that followed the breaking of bread until one day, instead of

going up front and getting my "cracker" and my "wine

cup," I sat there in the pews and read the rest of the versesall the way up to the crucifixion! There is power in those

words and yet, when they get to that part of their Bibles,

they immediately stop reading and go to get a cracker and

some wine!


56/85

They pressure you to take part. If you don't, you will be

looked at sideways and probably be counseled. You may

even be rebuffed and rebuked for "not partaking in

communion" and told from the pulpit that you are abackslider if you don't go forward and receive communion!

They focus on the act of breaking of bread and passing of

the cup, seeing it as a sign of verification of Messiah's

deity. This is the ultimate betrayal of the Messiah, which is

exactly what Judas Iscariot did. This focus on the act

instead of the meaning makes it impossible for them to

delve too deeply into the meaning! Judas took part in the

"communion" then ran off to do his own thing and to carryout his preconceived notion of what it means to be a

follower and actually betrayed betrayed Yahshua Messiah,

all the while thinking he was doing the world a "good

service."

It's important for us to understand fully the true meaning of

"I am the bread that came down fromHeaven,"as Yahshua taught the multitudes atCapernaum. It was this same sermon that led also to Judas

Iscariot's grave error, which was thinking that Messiah was

in fact "God in the flesh!" In understanding these verses

we then see that Judas Iscariot and all sons of perdition are

counted as disciples of Messiah; However; because of their

unbelief in the power of God, they, like Judas, their elderbrother, miss out on the teaching of the bread of life and

how it is that eternal life is imparted by Yahshua's

death!

So, let's dig deep into the verses that follow the breaking of


57/85

bread at the last supper and find out what Yahshua was

doing! I can assure you he was not creating a "new ritual"

whereby, if you eat some "blessed" bread and drink some

"blessed" wine you have instant eternal life!Messiah Utters A New Commandment

In the Gospel of John chapter 13, immediately after Judas

Iscariot left the room to betray him, Messiah begins to

explain how he will give us "his flesh to eat and his blood

to drink" thereby delivering to us the "living bread which

comes down from heaven" and how by "eating this living

bread" we would obtain "eternal life" on the "last day."

(These were all key points in his sermon at Capernaum

detailed in chapter 6 and now that Judas is no longer

present, Yahshua reveals those details to the believing

Apostles.)

John 13: 31-35

"31 Therefore, when he (Judas Iscariot)was gone out, Yahshua said, Now is the

son of man glorified, and God is

glorified in him.

32 If God be glorified in him, God shall

also glorify him in himself, and shallstraight away glorify him.

33 Little children, yet a little while I am


58/85

with you. You shall seek me: and as I

said to the Jews, where I go you cannot

come, so now say I to you.34 A new commandment I give to you,

that you love one another: as I have

loved you, that you also love one

another.

35 By this shall all men know that youare my disciples, if you have love one to

another."

Yahshua Messiah was issuing a commandment to his

disciples that they should love one another with the same

love he had for them! The same love, (which is the love

that he had from the Father Himself) was now available tous and that we could demonstrate that same love on the

earth! This is how people would know we are His

disciples! To those who cling to the notion that Yahshua is

God, I ask one simple question: If Messiah is the God of

love, how can the disciples ever hope to love one another

with the same Love that that Messiah had for them? If

Yahshua were God, he'd be asking the impossible, (because

the Trinitarians teach that no one can love the way Godloves and then, they interpret the scriptures in such a way

that Messiah is now making the impossible demand of the

poor disciples to have the same love for each other that the

creator of love has for them)!


59/85

They want to say Yahshua was God yet here is Yahshua

telling his disciples to love each other with the same love

he has and making it a commandment!

If they would just not run out of the room of wisdom, afterthe breaking of bread and instead if they would keep

reading and listening to the Spirit, they'd find out that

Yahshua was not God.

The next things that Messiah says prove that either he was

not God or at best he was a lunatic or at worst a deceiver!

If no one can love as God loves and we are commanded to

love as Messiah loved and Messiah was God, then God isissuing a commandment that is impossible to obey! God

Himself would have to be a lunatic to expect his creation to

love one another with the same degree and intensity of love

with which Messiah loved, if Messiah is the Creator and no

one can love as the Creator loves!

Do you see the dichotomy here?

He, the Creator, has loved us with an everlasting love!

This is a love we can never possess, being mortal and no

one can love a child more than the child's own father,

especially a father who lives forever. First they teach God's

love is something we can never possess, not to the degree

that He loves, then they teach in their doctrines that

Messiah is God, then quote him here commanding us to

love one another as he loves! Then they further contradict

themselves by adding in the mix a doctrine that says "you

can never stop sinning and that you can't be perfect like

Messiah was perfect." This is an amazing paradox because

if we love as Messiah loves we aren't going to sin for it was


60/85

Messiah's love that kept him from sinning in the first place!

They teach that we, being mortal created beings, cannot

love this way, so he'll do the loving for them, die on the

crucifixion and then all they have to do is believe it! Howconfused are they? Here they teach such love is impossible

and that's why we need "the grace of Jesus," yet when you

read the words of Messiah he's commanding them all to

love one another with his same love!

Plainly and simply if Yahshua is God and we can never

love unto sinless perfection, he's clearly commanding the

impossible and the only way for us to obey thiscommandment is to somehow be as God Himself! We

therefore have no choice but to either discard Messiah's

commandments to love one another as HE loves or discard

this notion that Messiah is God Incarnate!

My dear friends for the sake of space I cannot quote all that

Yahshua had to say after Judas Iscariot left the room, I'm

going to try and focus on the "how" Messiah will give us"living bread" that will bring us "eternal life" and also

touch on statements made by Yahshua Messiah, like the

ones above, which prove he cannot be God in the flesh!

John 14: 1

"Let not your hearts be troubled: youbelieve in God, believe also in me."

Common sense dictates that this statement ALONE proves

Yahshua Messiah is not God! He's talking about God as a

SEPARATE PERSON to himself and states that if we


61/85

believe in God we should believe in HIM too! If Yahshua

WERE GOD then believing in Yahshua would be the

SAME as believing in GOD, we wouldn't HAVE to believe

in BOTH! Likewise, if Yahshua were GOD then believingin Yahshua would be enough, we wouldn't HAVE to

believe in God at all because they are supposedly THE

SAME! Yahshua here lays to rest once and for ALL the

LIE of the Devil which Judas had just set out to "prove."

John 14: 2

"In my Father's house are manymansions: if not, I would have told you.

I go to prepare a place for you."

Here Yahshua does not say "in my house" there are many

mansions, he says "in my Father's house," thus

demonstrating that Heaven belongs to God, not him! If

Messiah were "God come to earth as flesh," he certainlywould not be able to disclaim his own house! Tradition

teaches that the lord of the house will never deny his right

to the lordship! If God is verbally denouncing His right to

the Lordship of Heaven and God's word is so powerful it

created the world, then when Messiah denied Lordship of

Heaven that would mean God LOST his Lordship of the

heavens. The Devil would only have to merely claim it in

his stead! (Which is incidentally why the 3 day death ofMessiah proves he's not God as well, because had God died

for 3 days, he would have ressurected to find a new God

sitting on the vacant throne of Heaven, namely Satan!)

When Yahshua says "in my Father's house," there can be


62/85

no logical conclusion but that he is not Father!

Yet, Christian apologists who attempt to prove the deity of

Christ admit that, even though God and Jesus are the same

person, the Father and the Son are NOT the same person.This is, according to Christian theists, a "great mystery."

It's no mystery at all though it's just ILLOGIC. Here's how

their logic reads: "God and Jesus are the same person, God

is the Father and Jesus is the Son, but the Father and the

Son are not the same person."

John 14: 6- 7"6 Jesus said to him, I am the way, the

truth, and the life: no man comes to the

Father, but by me.

7 If you have known me, you have

known the Father; and from now on youknow him, and have seen Him."

This is the one the "God/man" proponents really love focus

on (and disregard the rest of the verses)! In the carnal mind

it does look like Yahshua is clearly saying he is the Father!

However, look at verse 6. He doesn't say "no man comes

to me but by me." He clearly makes a distinction between

himself and the Father. Furthermore, he says he is "theway," in verse seven. The "way" to what? The way to

"come to the Father" or in other words the "way to meet the

Father," the "way to see the Father," and more importantly

Yahshua is the way to be just like the Father (the way to


63/85

become a son of God). As Yahshua is speaking he's

standing before them as the "new Adam," and is in the

exact likeness of God! Anyone who looks at Him sees the

Father! Anyone hearing Yahshua's words are hearing thewords of the Father because Yahshua only spoke the words

of the Father! Yahshua is the walking, breathing, fleshly

example of the bread from Heaven and the bread is "every

word that proceeds from the mouth of God!" He was the

Father's mouth piece. Yahshua was showing us the Father

in his words, actions, (through his love). He was the living

embodiment of the love of God manifested to the world.

That's what made him the only begotten Son of the Father!

Furthermore, he's saying that we are being offered this

same connection, this same oneness so that we, like

Messiah, can become the living embodiment of the love of

God! By making Yahshua "the father" they have washed

over this truth. It relinquishes them of obeying the

commandment to "love one another" even as Messiah

loves! It forever hides the truth from them that Yahshua is

showing us the way to be just like the Father! In the end,

they completely miss the wonderful truth that we can

become sons of God ourselves and live in our Father's

house with Yahshua!

John 14: 8-9

"8 Philip said to him, Master, show us

the Father, and it will be sufficient.

9 Yahshua said to him, Have I been so


64/85

long time with you, and yet have you not

known me, Philip? He that sees me has

seen the Father; and how say you then,show us the Father?"

Here's another verse that the "God/man" proponents want

focus on because if you read these verses in a carnal mind

and thinking like men then Yahshua has just stated flatly, I

am the Father! However, Messiah had just got done telling

them that he was showing them the Father with his every

word and deed! He also is acting in his office as the Proxy,"mouthpiece of God!" The Father was speaking to Philip

with Yahshua's mouth!

Oh that we true believers can become so like Yahshua that

God can speak to others with our mouths! Some believe

that the translation was tampered with a little here and that

Yahshua actually said "have I been so long with you, Philip

and have you not known the Father?" I don't think this isnecessarily true! I believe it is quite possible that Yahshua

said it just this way. Yet, like Judas Iscariot and like the

Jews who wouldn't believe, the unbelievers of today refuse

to believe that God can speak using the mouth of a mortal

man! They refuse to believe that a mortal man can become

so in touch with the word of God that when he opens his

mouth to speak the word of God comes right out of hismouth, directly. They refuse to believe that a man can

become the very proxy of the One True God. The great

contradiction is, they refuse to believe this, but then they

claim to believe that the scriptures were written by God and

that the holy men who wrote the scriptures were acting as


65/85

the oracle of God when they wrote the scriptures! (They

also have no problem believing their Pope is the

mouthpiece of God so it truly is a very great contradiction).

When Philip asked to be shown the Father, God spoke rightto Philip, using the mouth of Yahshua and said, "have I

been so long with you Philip and have you not known me?"

I think God's patience was getting a little tried by Philip's

thick headedness. I offer as my final evidence of this the

words of Yahshua spoken directly after this utterance from

God himself, through the mouth of Messiah:

John 14: 10-11

"10 Don't you believe that I am in the

Father, and the Father is in me? The

words that I speak to you, I speak not

from my own mouth, but the Father that

dwells in me, HE does the works (or thespeaking).

11 Believe me that I am in the Father,

and the Father in me: or else believe me

because of the works."

I have said this before but it bears repeating. If, whenYahshua says "I am in the Father and the Father is in me,"

if he was saying that he is God, literally, then when those

who take this to mean Yahshua was God say "Jesus is in

me and I'm in Him" they are claiming to be Jesus! That's


66/85

irrefutable!

We therefore have to accept that such a person who reads

these verses to mean Yahsua is actually God, must believe

they are Jesus and since they believe Jesus is God,therefore, there can be no conclusion other than that they

think they are God himself! It is clear, therefore, that

Yahshua is not God but that God lives in him and uses

Yahshua's flesh to show himself to the Apostles and uses

Yahshua's mouth to speak to the Apostles. That does not in

any way make Yahshua God in person! I only makes

Yahshua in the image of God, which is how man wascreated to begin with, but he fell. Which also explains why

Yahshua is called the "SECOND Adam." Be warned,

however, if Yahshua is the "image of God" and we then

worship Yahshua, we have made a "fleshly idol" of God

and are bowing to worship an idol. It might not be an idol

of wood or metal or stone but we are still worshipping an

"image" of God, calling that image "God," and this is a

direct violation of the second commandment. If we then

make a stone "image" of Messiah and bow to worship it as

God, we are double idol worshippers!

1 Corinthians 14: 45

"45 And so it is written, The first man

Adam was made a living soul; the lastAdam a quickening spirit. "

DOING THE WORKS OF GOD DOES NOT

MAKE US GOD!
