who is Judas Iscariot ?
Just for your thoughts
Do you know that Judas Iscariot was the only non-Galilean in Jesus Christ's disciples?
Judas Iscariot is the only one of the apostles whom the Bible (potentially) identifies by his town of origin. Some scholars have linked his surname "Iscariot," to Queriot (or Kerioth), a town located south of Jerusalem in Judea.
"One of the things that might set Judas apart from the rest of Jesus's disciples is that Judas is not from Galilee," says Robert Cargill, assistant professor of classics and religious studies at the University of lowa and editor of Biblical Archaeology Review.
"Jesus is from the northern part of Israel, or Roman Palestine.
But [Judas's] surname might be evidence that he's from the southern part of the country, meaning he may be a little bit of an outsider."
The north-south division or cast division today has driven many great servants of God to apostasy and heresy .Satan is using north-south division or cast division suffocation to his evil design. Many may not accept it. But it is a bitter truth
