Remember in Job how God and the Devil worked together to test Job?
John 13:26-27 Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a morsel, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the morsel, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. 27. And after the morsel Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, What you do, do quickly.
How could satan enter into Judas after Christ dipped the bread into the wine and gave it to Judas when that was then a consecrated morsel? Unless Jesus let it happen? And had said the one to whom he gave that morsel would be his betrayer.
Do you agree with David Wilkerson's speculation?
The Truth About Judas - Betrayer of Christ by David Wilkerson June 15, 1992
Satan first wanted to make a statement to all the principalities and powers of darkness. I believe the devil planned to use Judas' fall to justify his own fall and the fall of those angels who joined in his rebellion!
Satan also wanted to make a statement to all the holy angels. He sought to throw darts of doubt into heaven itself to corrupt the unfallen, uncorrupted witnesses in glory.
Most of all, Satan's statement was meant for mankind - for you and me! The message he sent was meant primarily for God's people on earth. He wants to use it to destroy all faith!
