Paddock Is Another Judas

The similarities between a Stephen Paddock and a Judas Iscariot are prophetically eerie. Both were respected money people. Both were able to disguise their true identity and evil motivation until the very end. Their dastardly deeds were so horrific that both should never have been born. Jesus put it this way, "But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man. It would be better for him if he had not been born." Matt. 26:23. Paddock painfully put it this way: "I hated my mother ... for bringing me into this world."

The Bible says, "The human heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. Who can know it?" Jeremiah 17:9. On Sunday, Oct. 1, 22,000 concertgoers knew it ... and hours later, we all knew it. History puts a label on despicable people like this: a Benedict Arnold, a Judas Iscariot, a Stephen Paddock — traitors.

With the events of Oct. l, "experts" are desperately searching for answers (gun control?). But God, since the beginning of time, has given mankind answers. They are found in the eternal Word of God, the Bible.
