Traitors to Men and God Chapter 3 of Judas Iscariot by Ogden Kraut

I testify again, as the Lord lives, God NEVER WILL acknowledge any traitors or apostates. (T.P.J.S., p. 375)

…if thou seek him he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever. (I Chron. 28:9)

There is no hurt, no grief, nor any suffering quite as painful as that which can be caused by someone you trust, love or call a friend. It takes someone from within your own ranks, a traitor, to cause the greatest damage and deepest sorrow: like the collapse of the Holy Roman Empire that fell because of the weakness of its own people, or, similarly the Great Wall of China that had been breached three times–not by the power of the enemy–but because the gatekeepers had been bribed. The great cause of freedom in America was nearly lost when General Benedict Arnold collaborated with the enemy. Armies, nations and even the gospel of Christ have had their deepest wounds from those within their own ranks that prove themselves to be traitors. The devil knows that he can gain his most devastating victories by working from within rather than by force from without.
