Judas Iscariot – Went to His Own Place

In Acts chapter one the suicide of Judas is recounted and the apostles come together to select a replacement for Judas. Peter prays and says,

“You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two You have chosen to occupy this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place.” (Acts 1:24-25)

Where did Judas go? The context has just recounted that Judas is dead. Where is he? The scripture says he went somewhere. You can’t go somewhere if you don’t exist. Clearly this speaks of Judas soul and that is how Judas went to his own place, which is reminiscent of Jesus words, “Woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born.” Judas’ soul went immediately to a place of punishment that was appropriate for him.

The ministry is not really a physical place. Within the context, I interpret this to mean he was not in the ministry. He was somewhere else. Where? Your guess is as good as mine. I'm going with "the grave", Sheol, Hades. He's dead, Jim. 

Beyond that, ones own doctrine determines where they think he is, based on other scripture that discusses the immediate fate of the dead. 

Personally, I think he's in a state of non-conscienceness, much like what we all experience when we are put under for surgery (and it is nothing like "sleep"). But just like that state, when he IS awoken, be it 3,000 years from the day his body died, to him it will feel instantaneous. But it's just my opinion based on what I read in scripture. I could be wrong. ;)

The 11 said to Jesus at the Last Supper, "Is it me, Lord?" Judas asked, "Is it me, teacher?" Do you understand why this difference is vital?

The NT says Jesus knew Judas was a thief, destined for destruction. Judas never trusted Jesus for salvation.

I've actually pondered this question myself:

Did judas go to hell?

Jesus referred to him as "Friend."

Jesus also said, "If anyone leads any of these little ones astray, it would be better for him to tie a millstone around his neck and throw himself into the sea." This kind of implies that there is some degree of righteousness to suicide from a sinner.

Lets see, another question pops up. Does everyone go to hell before entering heaven? I know for sure I'm not going to spend an eternity with a bunch of socially awkward bumpkins who are terrified of drinking alcohol. God is putting all of those people in a very specific place.

Its important to note that Judas did in fact learn that he made a mistake.

Another important question would be to consider if Universal Salvation is a thing or not.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
