+--------"Our Own Aceldamas; The Thoughts Of The Apostle John Crying While Visiting Judas Hanged

And this is Saul flailing, pivoting
in fear succumbed to insecurity
kneeling before the witch of Endor,
foisting on her verboten pleadings.…
You are Absalom hanging mid-air from
a tree ensnared by a pride as luxuriant
as locks of long hair,
impaled by three javelins of your
own foolhardy undoing. Maybe you
were Icarus soaring at too high an altitude
blinded, scorched by sunrays of Ego
perverted, melted wings of ideals that
certain ends justify treacherous. heinous
means. Judas, we’d seen this all before
(Ahab, Zedekiah)…I tried to warn you:
“let God do it His way this time.” That
“we can’t save the world by ourselves…”


------Acts 1:15-26
And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,) Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus. For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry. Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood. For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take. Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection. And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen, That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place. And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
