The Demise Of The Enemies Of JESUS And The Gospel = Mathew 27;1-5

 

 

**Judas Iscariot

 

Mathew 27;1-5

When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put Him to death: And when they had bound Him, they led Him away, and delivered Him to Pontius Pilate the governor. 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; Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that. And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.

 

Acts 1:15-19

And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty); Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus. For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry. Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.

 

**Herod Agrippa

 

Acts 12:1-3

Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church. And he killed James the brother of John with the sword. And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. Then were the days of unleavened bread.

 

Acts 12:20-23

And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: but they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king's chamberlain their friend, desired peace; because their country was nourished by the king's country. And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them. And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man. And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.

 

**Herod Antipas

 

Herod Antipas fell from power as governor because of his nephew Agrippa. Herod was exiled to a colony in Spain named Lugdurom Converna where he died in 39 AD.

 

**Pontus Pilate

 

Pilate was removed from power as governor in Israel and ordered to Rome for a court hearing. In disgrace he committed suicide in 39 AD.

 

**Nero Caesar

 

Nero persecuted, slaughtered and burned Christians from 64 AD to his death in 68 AD. Nero was declared a public enemy. He was dethroned and then he committed suicide in 68 AD.

 

*** Romans 12;19 ***

Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

 

*** Hebrews 10:29-31 ***

Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? For we know Him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living GOD.
