'They deem him their worst enemy
who tells them the truth' - Plato
This is a work in progress!
If there is a further new covenant, then there is a new betrayal. Of course there has to be a greater Judas, for every scripture has a further fulfillment, because the whole book is alive. Clifton Turner, Gordon's study conductor, when he was a JW, first realised that there would have to be a greater Judas. We are not at this point sure who it is in this presence. Let us look at the word symbolic meanings of some accounts covering the identity of Judas.
20
When, now, it had become evening, he
was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples.
21 While they were eating, he said: Truly I say to you, One of you will betray me.
22 Being very much grieved at this, they commenced each and every one to say to him:
Lord, it is not I, is it?
23 In reply he said: He that dips his hand with me in the bowl is the one that will
betray me.
24 True, the Son of man is going away, just as it is written concerning him, but
woe to that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! It would have been finer
for him if that man had not been born.
25 By way of reply
Judas,
the [one] betraying him, said: It is not I is it Rabbi?
He said to him: You yourself said it (Matthew 26).
18
And as they were reclining at the table
and eating, Jesus said: Truly I say to you: One of you, who is eating with me,
will betray me.
19 They started to be grieved and to say to him one by one: It is not I, is it?
20 He said to them:
It is one of the twelve,
the [one] dipping with me into the common bowl.
21 True, the Son of man is going away, just as it is written concerning him, but
woe to that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! It [would have been] finer
for him if that man had not been born (Mark 14).
21 But, look! the
hand of the one betraying me is with me at the table.
22 Because the Son of man is going his
way according to what is marked out; all the same, woe to that man through whom
he is betrayed!
23 So they started to discuss among
themselves the question of which of them would really be the one that was about
to do this (Luke 22).
Double Designations:
Judas, the [one] betraying him
One of the 12, the [one] dipping with me into the common bowl

The 12 in Mark, are twelve years from 1992Elul to 2004Elul of the evil slave dipping with the remnant into the food of FDS4? The yes/no question means that all 12 years involve a betrayal by FDS3 and by the WSS.
Or we could say that every one of the 11 said: Lord it is not I is it? These 11 are the eleven
governing body members of the 5th watch of FDS3 at its fall.
Judas said: It is not I is it Rabbi?
This: Lord it is not I is it?, is a yes/no question, see [C13]. So the whole governing body, all collectively betray Jesus, they are all one greater Judas. But there is a further greater Judas, the one who betrays the son of man personally. He is sanctified, clean for entry into the second new covenant, he is the one who kisses him on the mouth, he is taught by him (Rabbi), but never subject to him (not Lord), he is therefore a Nethinim. He is sanctified to enter into the newer covenant but never makes it, like his father Judas, for it would have been better for him if he had never been born. He gets 30 pieces of silver from the chief priests. Is this headship of the Nethinim as agreed by the governing body for 30 months?? This chap is the head of the SS part of the WSS, the wicked and sluggish slave, (the Watchtower SS!!)
30 pieces of silver given to Judas are first half of 5 years of sanctification in months. The 30 pieces buying the field of blood, are the second half. He bursts in his midst. If the betrayal of the son of man is in 1996Adar, at the end of the first 30 pieces then half way between this and the end of Armageddon is 2002Chislev.
Judas pitched head first and the bow of the ship hit land first in Acts 27.
