Judas Iscariot - Blog Posts
Jesus and Judas were sitting alone on the edge of a stone wall after the last supper, Jesus turns to Judas and says
“Are you alright my brother?”
Judas wakes out of his thoughtful daze and looks at Him, turning his gaze back quickly to his sandals
“Why do you still love me?”
“You are my disciple. Why shouldn’t I?”
Judas sighs and kicks his feet
“You said I’ll be the one to… betray you.”
Jesus nodded and looked down at the ground
“Yes. But I’ll still love you anyway. I love the lowly, I love the poor, I love the sick, lame, blind, and deaf. I love them all the same, why shouldn’t I love you?”
Judas scooted closer to Jesus and laid his hand on top of His in a comforting embrace
“I can’t be the one to kill you.”
Jesus rubbed His thumb over the back of Judas’s hand, turning to him
“It’s what the Lord says, what my Father says.”
Judas scoffed
“Well… call me blasphemous, but that doesn’t seem like what a good Father would do…”
Jesus’s expression saddened, He looked down at Judas’s hand
“My brother, you do not understand His plan, I do not understand it entirely either, but we must trust Him.”
Judas frowned angrily
“Yeah… sure.”
Jesus leaned in and kissed Judas’s cheek, earning a look of surprise as Judas turned to Him
“My brother… you will do the same to me, as I have done unto you.”
Judas did not know what he meant, he just nodded politely
“I love you Judas.”
“…”
“I love you so much.”
“…”
“I miss you.”
Today, I'm thinking about Jesus Christ Superstar again (specifically the 2012 live arena version). Im thinking about how raw and desperate and viceral all of it is. Thinking about the inherit guilt and shame and anger is jesus and judas. How they can rail against the narrative all they want, can drag their feet towards the end, can go kicking and screaming, and it will end up the same anyway. How hard they fight against their fate, desperate to be heard. Judas begging Jesus to trust him, to listen to his concerns. "Listen Jesus, I don't like what I see. All I ask is that you listen to me, " Jesus begging God to have mercy, to answer the cries of his knly son. "God, god, why have you forsaken me?". Anout how Jesus begged for him mother as he was dying, about how scared and alone he was. Thinking about how Judas was right the whole time, that they did turn against Jesus, that it was out of his control. Jesus did want him, need him, to betray him for the sake of gods plan. "You wanted me to do it,". Thinking about how Judas didn't go to the rally with Jesus in hosanna, isntead watching over him from afar. About how all of the zealots who only saw jesus as a savior, half god half sacrificial lamb, and how judas was the only one not there. Thinking about anachronisms and using each others name like a curse. "You liar, you Judas." "Christ you deserve it. " Thinking about the love that threads them together, even if its not enough to save either of the.
😦(😭)
(I also once thought of Jesus and Judas as Hamilton and Burr but I really didn't think it suited it that well)
I cried after watching what I had put together. Can y’all tell I’ve got trauma
The World Was Wide Enough II JCS 2012
You want to kiss me ?
The thing that killed Jesus ?
if I never get to see you again, if I never come and find you, my friend, then I'll tie you ever tightly, here beside me, never slowing
fanart for the Judas Iscariot animated film which is still live in kickstarter!! go support it!!!
Some Día de Muertos x JCS fanart I did, originally I was only to share them on the jcs discord server but I thought, who does it harm to put them here?
Catrina Melry and Catrin Timdas
And I also did an altar for the Judases, '73 Judas, Timdas, Jeromdas, Bluedas, Swedas and Amstedas
Swedas' offering is semla, the dessert the jcs server decided was his favorite
Simon: *has a child safety teather*
Mary: Is that a leash?
Jesus: No, it is a child safety teather, let’s go Simon
Judas: It’s a leash, don’t judge us
Judas: Simon is going through a phase, gosh, at least we hope it’s a phase
Jesus: He bolts every chance he gets, so we had no choice than to put him on a child safety teather
Judas: …
Judas: It’s a leash... and we did have a choice
What would you think if The Chosen had Judas not immediately die from the hanging? Instead, he was taken down and rejoices when he hears rumors of Jesus resurrection before soon dying of his neck injury.
It would a bit controversial to the watchers of the show as Judas dying before witnessing the resurrection of Christ is very essential to the plot. Judas died without ever seeking Christ's forgiveness even though Jesus would have already forgiven him. Him being present for the resurrection would mean he had the chance to ask Jesus for his forgiveness which affects the whole plot.

Heyyy, if u saw the first post I made about Kaikeyi and deva nakshatras—this is the part I did about Judas yet chose to not include as I believed it not as strong of an argument for what I was trying to convey. Anyway, here it is:
Mind you, Judas, who was a disciple of Christ, eventually betrayed him, and that led to the event of the Crucifixion and so on. This event, for known reasons, was also a very spiritual event that, in a way, needed to happen.
“In all, these two figures, who have by the way been “demonized” in many instances in today’s world, were also catalyzed and played key roles in major spiritual tasks executed in this world according to scriptures.”
Now stay with me as I move into Judas’s case:
2 - 𝒥𝓊𝒹𝒶𝓈
So Judas, the ‘betrayer,’ although I was not able to find helpful historically-specific things that would help determine a birth time or nakshatras, I was reminded of this:
(Maybe tap on the images to view in more depth)—
Essentially, I was reminded of a theory that the disciples had correlations to the astrological signs. I for one found this both interesting and very much possibly containing some truth to it, as references to the Zodiac are “esoterically” all throughout the Bible.
Anyway, considering the above, Judas (prior to being replaced by another disciple) was associated with without debate (considering some of the disciples were assigned signs interchangeably in the above images) the sign of Pisces.
So I figured looking into the nakshatras that Pisces rules. These nakshatras are Purva Bhadrapada, Uttara Bhadrapada, and Revati.
Now, just as Kaikeyi, given her typical portrayal, was given another “retelling” or insight for her situation, Judas too has one of his own.
Though slightly less personal, shorter, and more ancient than Kaikeyi’s.
What I speak of is the Gospel of Judas, where Christ is conveyed speaking with Judas on a rather “higher-esteem” or “enlightened” take concerning his role in the things he was to do, giving another perspective to Judas’s being. Sort of similar to Patel and Kaikeyii (ALTHOUGH the Gospel of Judas is a scripture of sorts and the book Kaikeyii is fictional—again—don’t come for meee).
So, back to nakshatras, I have to admit, I could not easily see how Judas might have fit under a Deva nakshatra of Pisces. Rather, I think he would have embodied Purva Bhadrapada as a sun sign and Ashlesha as a moon sign. Which both are admittedly rakshasa in nature. Some of Ashlesha’s symbols are a serpent and male cat (I also saw somewhere that Ashlesha can mean “the embracer” or “a tight embrace,” which also reminded me of how Judas embraced Christ and kissed him before “betraying” him 👀).
Not to mention, the animal of Purva Bhadrapada is a male lion, and Judas’ name in its initial form would have been “Judas” or something of the sort. This goes back to the biblical tribe of Judah, which carries heavy lion connotations (Christ being the “Lion of Judah” or “Lion of God,” “God’s praise”), all of which essentially tie thematically to lions and even the Leo zodiac sign. This lion symbolism seems to resonate well with Judas’ role and the larger themes surrounding him.
Plus, Purva Bhadrapada has Jupiter as its ruler (which relates to Christ, being a teacher or guru) and has symbols of the sword, the two front legs of a funeral cot, and a man with two faces. These themes too seemed to stick out to me in relation to Judas’s life, role, and how he related to Christ—
So in a nutshell, although I couldn’t necessarily find supporting evidence of Judas inherently being of deva nakshatras (I mean, cuz he like ancient-), for what I did “figure out,” I found it interesting that he was so closely associated with divine presences such as Christ (who I personally believe represents or coincides with Revati of Pisces). Judas is the rakshasa representation of Pisces whereas Christ, who was his supposed master, is the deva or divine representation of Pisces.
Either way, Judas was demonized—even though taking things from the point of view of divine guidance, perspective, and control, his role technically should not have been condemned. Especially taking into account Isaiah 45:7, “I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.”
Anyway, his case seems to be less of a strong argument for what I’m trying to prove, nevertheless, my “point,” if you will, from my initial post still remains.
thanks for reading luvss 🙈🧚🏼♀️💕
Fate was not kind to them
I quoted the lyrics of Mastermind
judas iscariot reference, perhaps..?
perhaps, jayce is judas..? hm~?
judas did the wrong thing but if christ was never crucified salvation would not have come to the world through his sacrifice on the cross.
it was a prophesied, predestined and predetermined necessary evil in order to ensure the salvation of mankind … through the betrayal of two “brothers”.
all i’m saying is, at least judas gave jesus a kiss before he ripped his heart out and killed himself over it because the guilt of betraying him was too much to bear.
jayce could’ve taken some notes, smh.
kiss and then betray your ex, ugh.
