    “As the word left the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face. Now Harbonah, one of the eunuchs, said to the king, “Look! The gallows, fifty cubits high, which Haman made for Mordecai, who spoke good on the king’s behalf, is standing at the house of Haman.”
    Then the king said, “Hang him on it!”
    So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai”
    Esther 7:8-12
    Take heed as we plot for another

    The kiss of death
    Betrayal and destruction
    The betrayal of destruction was for Judas

    "Why did Jesus call Judas to be one of His Apostles?"
    Hmmm...
    Why did Jesus call Peter to be one of His Apostles?", For He denied Jesus not once; but 3 times before the "crock" crowed. Yet Jesus never said, that "betrayal" was the unforgivable sin. But He said "denial" was the Un-forgivable sin. And the RCC even made Peter the ultimate human "God". How Sad indeed; as he argued with Paul, etc!
    Plus, why did Phillip and Thomas doubt Jesus? Sad indeed. Thus, 4 out of 12; that after hearing Jesus' Gospel day after day for 3 yrs. And they still didn't know who Jesus was...after He asked the multiples that and they didn't know; and then the disciples; yet all peter could say, in trying to describe who Jesus was...
    Matthew 16:16 Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
    But...he SHOULD have said, "YOU are the only True God there will ever be; manifested in the flesh!". (1 Timothy 3:16 and John 1:1 and 14) Sad indeed now week those 12 were.
    Yet, nobody knows what happened to the other disciples. And why are there no books with their names on it? Huh? Sad indeed...May Jesus have mercy...
    But the big mystery is...why did Peter take it upon his self to replace Judas with Mathias; and choosing him using a "gambling" scenario. Yet the bible never mentioned Mathias again. How sad!
    And get this...Jesus chose a "Jesus-hater" galore, with an ego and arrogant demeanor; to the "nth" degree. By the of name "Saul" of Tarsus. And then Jesus made him the greatest messenger of the "Gospel" there will ever be. Putting all of the 11 disciples to shame. And Jesus changed his name to Paul (as He did Abram, Sarai and Jacob). Plus, Paul wrote 13 books in the NT. When NO other writer wrote more than 5. IE...
    Moses and John wrote 5. King Solomon and Peter wrote 3, etc! Yet Paul wrote half the NT. Please give me a reason for such a quagmire; when one considers Jesus and his 12 "whatever's". It shows that even "chosen to be disciples"..mankind still sins all the time. May Jesus have mercy...
    Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
    End of story and I KNOW this "comment" WILL be deleted; as it has been many times before. Oh Well.
    So beware of this...Matthew 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea

      Part 2...I believe that Judas WILL go to Heaven. Because he repented of his dastardly sin. But Hmmm...I am not so sure about Peter. Why?
      Matthew 16:23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men. So...
      Most Christians believe Peter was Jesus' favorite disciple. And the RCC has made him a "god". Etc! Sad, but true...
      Matthew 26:69 Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee. Matthew 26:70 But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest. Matthew 26:72 And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man. Matthew 26:74 Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the Rooster crew.
      Time will tell...Praise Jesus the ONLY true God. AMEN!

      Jesus and the old testament make it clear that Judas was the son of perdition. Jesus also makes it clear in his word that Peter was one of his who he chose.

      Jesus told Peter he was praying for him 'and when he had turned back he was to feed his Brethren'.

      ​@@jasonhargis5598 You are 100% correct brother in Jesus; who slammed Moses in Deuteronomy 24:1 for what Jesus said in, Mathew 19:3-8. In NO uncertain terms!
      And Jesus did the same thing with Mathew 1:1; when Jesus espoused John 8:58 and Mathew 22:41-45.
      Sadly, on and on and on. From Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21.
      So what are we to do? Huh? Well we should (which MOST will never do); get on our knees; and pray sincerely to ONLY Jesus: asking Him for "Wisdom, Understanding and the Truth". For...
      Then, and ONLY then; will ANY one be able to "discern" the inspired; by Jesus verses vs the inspired verses by satan.
      Believe it or not. And Praise Jesus. And...
      May Jesus bless you and yours always brother in Jesus.

      @@Bibliotechno You are 100% correct; but Jesus ALSO said...Matthew 16:23 Jesus turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
      And even worse...AFTER Jesus chastised Peter; and Peter said in NO uncertain terms that he would NEVER deny Jesus. But sadly that rotten "devil" went out; after Jesus was crucified; and denied Jesus for 3 Times before the Rooster crowed.
      Think about it brother in Jesus. And may He bless you and yours always.

    Or it was the lesser meaning lesser in courage, lesser in understanding, lesser in belief. Coward mentioned in Revelation really bothers me. I have lost sleep over this. What is a Coward mentioned in Revelation.

      @Raybo I too get bothered by that verse. I must confess I am a coward compared to others I see. When I'm bothered by this I pray to God to help me be bolder. Ultimately Jesus is my salvation for all my sins but I would be lying to say verses like these don't bother me.
