 Kadosh is a Hebrew word that means "set apart" or "separate," and is often used in the Old Testament to describe God's holiness and the call to holiness for His people.

 Here are a few consequences of Judas Iscariot's betrayal of Jesus, as recorded in the Bible: 1. The betrayal led directly to Jesus' arrest and subsequent crucifixion, which was a pivotal moment in Christian theology and salvation history. (Matthew 26:47-56, 27:1-26) 2. Judas' actions led to the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies about the Messiah being betrayed by a close associate. (Psalm 41:9, Zechariah 11:12-13) 3. After his betrayal, Judas experienced deep regret and remorse, but ultimately committed suicide rather than seeking forgiveness or reconciliation. (Matthew 27:3-10) 4. Judas' actions led to the need for a replacement among the apostles, which was ultimately filled by Matthias. (Acts 1:15-26) These consequences highlight the seriousness and gravity of Judas' betrayal, and suggest that his actions had far-reaching spiritual and historical implications. They also underscore the importance of faithfulness and loyalty among Jesus' followers, and t
