  The Resurrection Scam
Inspired by the apocalyptic visions of Isaiah, Ezekiel and Daniel, the Zealots embraced a militant-mystical agenda whose central aim was to establish a fundamentalist theocratic state in the Promised Land.

The profile of Judas as a throat-slitting terrorist is perhaps not incompatible with his role as a traitor, even a traitor who colludes with the one he betrays.

And since Jesus was the King of the Jews, Maccoby writes that this would have made Judas a prince, and a candidate for leadership in the Jerusalem Church - the “church” (comprised largely of relatives of Jesus) that continued his “ministry”, especially the Zealot royalist movement associated with it, after his death.
In the lists of Jesus’s brothers, Judas is either the youngest or second youngest of the four, and the Gospel narratives hardly leave room for the supposition that Jesus had a twin brother.
Thus the role of both Judas and the Jews in the sacrifice of Jesus had to be obfuscated in the scriptures.

 The Apostle Judas Iscariot and Eternal Security
Please note: the first time we hear of Judas Iscariot, we are informed that he already was a "disciple." Furthermore, he was "called" and "chosen" by Christ Himself to be an "apostle" at the same time as the other twelve.
The word "became" for Judas suggests a change for the worse that occurred sometime after he was chosen as a disciple by Christ to be His apostle, or "special messenger," as that word means.
In other words, Judas went from "disciple" to "apostle" to "traitor." Or we might say he was once a "disciple" of the Lord's elevated to apostle, who later "became a traitor," as Scripture words it.

 Domestic-Church.Com: Saint Profile: Simon Zealot Jude Thaddeus
The Gospel of Luke tells us that Simon was a 'Zealot' (Luke 6:15 and Acts 1:13), which either means that he was a member of a party of Jewish patriots of the time, or refers to the fervor with which he pursued Jewish law before his calling by Jesus.
Judas (often called Jude in English) is variously named, but this could be expected given the co-incidence of names and many sibling pairs among the apostles.
Although most modern translations render "Judas of James" as "Judas the son of James," there has been a tendency to understand it as "Judas the brother of James" and to assume that these two apostles were brothers.

Then Judas his betrayer, seeing that he had been condemned, was remorseful and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, saying "I have sinned by betraying innocent blood".
The time therefore that Judas died does make a difference, and in fact a very big difference: the difference between an unerring Word of God, as indeed the Bible is, and a word that has errors as tradition makes the Bible to look like.

Although Judas also blends the gospels and adds ingredients not found in scripture, the made-for-television film may be distinctive as the only U.S. production to focus centrally on the difficult New Testament character of the betrayer of Jesus.
Judas, in the video sent to reviewers, begins by describing the film as an "interpretive dramatization based in part on biblical passages and historical research." It opens with eight-year-old Judas watching his father being crucified.
Judas follows some other Jesus films in seeking a plausible motive, if not sympathy, for the character whose name is historically synonymous with betrayal.

The reason for Judas’ betrayal is shown in this episode as a matter of political “tactic,” which is in consonance with the ideology of the zealots, a group to which in all probability, he belonged.

 The Gospel of Judas
Andrew appointed Judas treasurer of the twelve, a position which he was eminently fitted to hold, and up to the time of the betrayal of his Master he discharged the responsibilities of his office honestly, faithfully, and most efficiently.
Judas was a good business man. It required tact, ability, and patience, as well as painstaking devotion, to manage the financial affairs of such an idealist as Jesus, to say nothing of wrestling with the helter-skelter business methods of some of his apostles.
The case of Judas illustrates the truthfulness of that saying: "There is a way that seems right to a man, but the end thereof is death." It is altogether possible to fall victim to the peaceful deception of pleasant adjustment to the paths of sin and death.

To be the "son of perdition" denotes that Judas is a man identified with eternal destruction and whose destiny is the Lake of Fire.
The comment from John that Judas was a thief is intended to stress the avarice of Judas, who saw in the price of the ointment nothing of the beautiful deed for which Jesus praised the woman, but only a means by which his funds would be increased, enabling him to line his own pocket.

Judas is a pretty common name in Jesus' day, since it is the name of the patriarch of the tribe of Judah.
Others with this name were the famous Judas Macabbees (a godly and bold leader about 165 BC in a war of rebellion against the Greeks that occupied Palestine), Jesus' own brother (Matthew 13:55, perhaps the same as the author of the Epistle of Jude), and a second disciple, "Judas son of James" (Luke 6:16).
Judas is convinced that if conflict with the Romans does occur, Jesus the Messiah will lead the nation to military victory.

 Bible Study - Simon The Zealot
The overwhelming power of the Roman military caused their rebellion to fail, after which they became scattered rebels who were also known as Sicarii ("dagger men"), from their deadly use of the sica, a Roman dagger.
The Zealots were leading members of the revolt against Rome in 66-70 AD (see Fall of Jerusalem In 70 A.D.), and at Masada they committed suicide rather than surrender to the Roman Tenth Legion (see Roman Legions).
At least one of The Twelve Apostles, who were personally chosen by Jesus Christ, after being directed by God in prayer, was a Zealot - Simon (not to be confused with the other Simon who is known as Peter, although Peter's temperment in his earlier years well-suited him to have been a Zealot).

 Judas the Zealot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Judas the Zealot (Judas Zelotes) is a New Testament figure whose identity is not completely clear.
He is usually identified with the Apostle Simon the Zealot, with which he shares the surname, or with the Apostle Jude, also known as Thaddaeus.
According to Bruce Metzger's Textual Commentary on the Greek NT, Matthew 10:3: "The name Judas Zelotes in several Old Latin manuscripts (compare also the same name in the fifth century mosaic in the great Baptistry at Ravenna) may be a further assimilation to the previous name in Luke's list, "Simon who was called the Zealot.""

 BIBLE STUDY MANUALS: JUDAS ISCARIOT, WAS HE SAVED   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
And Judas was one of them, from the beginning, 'a devil' and a 'son of perdition', who was never enabled by God to believe in Jesus, so he chose not to believe, (Jn 6:65).
Judas like all the other apostles was given the ministry to "cast out devils," perform "miracles, signs and wonders," Judas seemingly possessed the same potential as all the other apostles.
Thus "son of perdition" means that Judas, being thus characterized, is evil in his essence and doomed to destruction in the Lake of Fire.

Judas believed that Jesus' arrest would compel Him to give the command for revolution that Judas impatiently desired.
The second theory also begins with Judas as a zealot who, after listening to the words and witnessing the works of Jesus, becomes spiritually transformed.
Although Judas realized that Jesus was no threat to either the Romans or the religious hierarchy, he was also aware that talk of Jesus being a king was causing unease amongst those in power.
