SONS OF PERDITION

- SONS OF PERDITION -

Description by Mister 13

Aerosol spray, kleenex on canvas, 1 coffee, 3 cigarette. The Son of perdition (Greek: ο υιος της απωλειας, ho huios tes apoleias) is a phrase that appears in the New Testament in the Gospel of John 17:12 and in the Second Epistle to the Thessalonians 2:3. The sons of perdition are those (both men and women) who have received a complete testimony of Jesus Christ (revealed to them by the Father through the Holy Ghost) and then willfully rebel against God. Sons of perdition fully know who Jesus Christ is and knowingly choose to turn away from God and rebel against Him. The common example is Satan and his followers who rebelled with him in the war in heaven before man was created on the Earth. The English word perdition is used to translate the original Greek word of the New Testament pronounced a-poh-lia meaning condemnation and eternal death. The apostles Peter and Paul used the term, translated as either perdition (King James Version) or destruction (Revised Standard Version) in contrast to salvation and eternal life. They emphasized that it's a knowing choice - there will be none in the Kingdom of God who did not choose to be there by their righteousness and follow their own path. Although it seems that there are going to be many sons, and daughters, of perdition, three are identified specifically, one from Bible History who has been dead for nearly 2,000 years, and two from Prophecy who are very likely alive in the world today. Jesus Christ referred to Judas Iscariot as a son of perdition, and the apostles Paul and John wrote of two end-time sons of perdition who will be working in union, one a great religious leader, the other a great political/military dictator. Judas Iscariot is another example in Christian religion: "And now I am no more in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to Thee. Holy Father, keep them in Thy Name, which Thou hast given Me, that they may be one, even as We are one. While I was with them, I kept them in Thy Name, which Thou hast given Me; I have guarded them, and none of them is lost but the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled." (John 17:11-12 RSV) Actually the term is used against all the enemies and for those who don´t follow the Chistian cred, from a drug dealer to an agnostic. I think is more hard to live by your own rules and live your life with your own cred and values than to have a cred and a guide to do it, in fact i believe we´re all sons and daughters of perdition.
