To know approximately how long Satan indwelled Judas is from John 13:27 to just before Judas became remorseful of his betrayal of Jesus.
Jeffrey, I think Satan figuratively entered Judas, when the time came for Judas to carry out the betrayal act. Just as Peter was figuratively speaking as Satan in when Jesus said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan" Matthew 16:23

Of course, I could be wrong.

Doug, where is there any figurative wording in John 13:26-27 ESV? Jesus answered, “It is he to whom I will give this morsel of bread when I have dipped it.” So when he had dipped the morsel, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. 27 Then after he had taken the morsel, Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, “What you are going to do, do quickly.”

Jesus knew what Judas was going to do and that he would only do it after Satan entered Judas.

Jeffrey, I think we should probably agree to disagree.

1 Cor 6:19-20 (ESV): Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, 20 for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.

Those verses are held to mean The Holy Spirit dwells or lives in the born again believer; our body is a temple for the Holy Spirit to dwell in. The Holy Spirit is not going to cohabitate in the temple of our body with a demon.

Was the HS cohabiting with the demons below? Was the HS cohabitating with Judas?

Matt 8:28-34 (ESV): 28 And when He came to the other side into the country of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men confronted Him as they were coming out of the tombs. They were so extremely violent that no one could pass by that way. 29 And they cried out, saying, “What business do You have with us, Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?” 30 Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding at a distance from them. 31 And the demons begged Him, saying, “If You are going to cast us out, send us into the herd of pigs.” 32 And He said to them, “Go!” And they came out and went into the pigs; and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the waters.

You need to read John 12:6 (ESV): He said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief, and having charge of the moneybag he used to help himself to what was put into it.

Judas was a thief to the disciples, and a traitor to Jesus. How could the HS be in him? That is why nothing is “figurative” about Satan entering Judas, when it was time for Judas to betray Jesus.

I therefore hope you recognize and honor the biblical facts of Luke 22:3. I will say no more.

Luke 22:3 (ESV): Then Satan entered into Judas called Iscariot, who was of the number of the twelve.
