Ezekiel 34:26-28
"I will make them and the places all around My hill a blessing; and I will cause showers to come down in their season; there shall be showers of blessing.
Then the trees of the field shall yield their fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase. They shall be safe in their land... and no one shall make them afraid."
Greetings Bible Enthusiast!
Several people wrote with questions about Judas. There were two apostles named Judas: "Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot who also became a traitor." (Luke 6:16)
All twelve apostles, including both Judas son of James and Judas Iscariot, ate the Last Supper, which was called the Passover celebration, with Jesus. It was at this time that Jesus told the group, in the presence of Judas Iscariot, how bleak it would be for the one who betrayed Him:
"Woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born."
(Matthew 26:24)
God Bless You!

--ANSWER TO TRIVIA QUESTION:
Q. Who is the second Adam?
A. Jesus
And so it is written, "The first man Adam became a living being." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit... The first man was of the earth, made of dust; the second Man is the Lord from heaven.
1 Corinthians 16:45-47
Where Adam failed by not giving his life for Eve when she sinned, and then by partaking in her sin, Jesus succeeded by sacrificing His perfect life for all of us.
