Jesus knew that Judas was "a devil", not "the devil". "The devil is in the details".
BTW, Judas was an important disciple, being the treasurer.
Yes, Judas was the treasurer , he had the bag-John 13:29, and according John 12:6, Judas was a thief, and used to steal from it.
John reveals that Mary took a very expensive perfume of pure nard and anointed Jesus' feet, and Judas, the betrayer, said:
Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor? This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief-
John 12:v.3-6. This attitude of Judas reveals that in addition to the treacherous spirit with which was possessed, he was also hypocritical, cynical, stealthy, indeed a bad character.
By the way, there was one betrayer, a devil, among the twelve apostles of the Lord, and now, how many betrayers-demons- would there be in the Churches among non-betrayers as JESUS warned?
Also John 2:v.19 and 4:1.
I ask because JESUS said that many shall be offended,
and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another, and many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
But he that shall endure unto the END, the same shall be saved. Matthew 24:v.10-13. This devilish spiritual environment of the end of the times, or of this current time of the Apocalypse, it will be very hard for the true believers for sure. Who is ready to cross the last week of years of this satanic world of Devil, which must start very soon, perhaps in the next year, with the appearance of the ruthless MAN Beast of the earth?-
Revelation 13:11-18 combined with Ezekiel 21:25. Take a look.
Let us be ready or get ready
