Judas - Patterns of a Betrayer

Video Details

Description: In this sermon, Blake delves into the depth, symbolic meaning, and Old Testament parallels—both prophetic and typological—in Judas's betrayal of Jesus during the Passover supper and his subsequent death. He sets the historical and scriptural context around Nisan 14, highlighting Jesus' troubled spirit and the fulfillment of Psalm 41:9 with Judas as the close betrayer who eats Christ's bread. Blake explores Psalm 41 in relation to David's experiences and its prophetic application to Christ, identifying Ahithophel as the likely betrayer of David due to his counsel, conspiracy with Absalom, thwarted plan, and suicide by hanging. Parallels are drawn between Ahithophel and Judas in their strategies to scatter followers and self-inflicted deaths. Blake examines Judas's remorse, hanging, and the potter's field purchase as fulfillments of Zechariah 11 and Jeremiah 19, symbolizing defilement of the land with innocent blood (echoing Numbers 35 and 19), the curse of hanging (Deuteronomy 21, Galatians 3), and judgment on apostate Israel. These events serve as examples (per 1 Corinthians 10:11) to instruct and instill fear of God.
