    Q&A "My glory"

    Q: Prayer of Jesus establishes his glory is from everlasting to everlasting. Is it not the Word was with God and it was transferable?

    A: We have the verse you have in mind. " Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world."( John 17:24) Glory of the Word is that it is sound as well as it is a sign. Thy word as a sign is what we consider here. "thy word is truth." This information is the seed planted by the Sower. Jesus in his prayer refers to the son of perdition. Judas Iscariot was also among the twelve of whom Jesus says, "Those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled." The Law determined the everlasting covenant did not bar any man in the Man component. That the Scripture might be fulfilled" demonstrates it was Judas's choice whether to be sanctified by the word or not. It was written of him, "Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me."(Ps.41:9)

    Judas in refusing Jesus refused God the Father. "While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name" except for Judas who refused to be sanctified by the Word.

    The covenant sets After our image" in order to establish the Father Son relationship. The Word was God establishes the truth. In refusing to be 'after our likeness' betrayed the Word made flesh. The sign tells it all. Judas Iscariot was like the nation of Israel. "He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God."( John 8:47) Satan is the father of lies, The same rule in 8:44 can be applied to Judas."(He) abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him." Glory of the Word is established by faith. "And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them." (17:10)
