I read an interesting article today and totally catch my attention. Jesus said at Matthew 24:3,10 "Many...will betray one another". The article states: "To betray means to give up to or place in the power of an enemy, by treachery or disloyalty. Such a lack of loyalty confirms that we are living in the "last days" when Paul foretold, people would be "disloyal,..betrayers." Even though authors and screen writers often dramatize and romanticize treacherous acts in literature and in the movies, in real life disloyalty and betrayal cause pain and suffering". I remember some Bible characters from the past are good warning examples for us today. Do you find it beneficial too?

Hi litvillegas, I believe in that too. Because it is written in the bible, and it's really happening in a real life. Lots of people betray each other for lots of reason and some of them is Money,Power,Popularity,Pride and much more. All christian must be aware in those kind of issues in life because even if some people do bad things to us God always command us that we must not hate them -just hate the sin and not the person itself.

One of the most devastating form of pain that can be inflicted to us by fellow humans is betrayal. Betrayal is a gross violation of trust and for many of us, the pain induced in betrayal is more painful if not worst compared to physical violence, deceit or prejudice. As betrayal destroys the foundation of trust. But the Bible teaches us how to ease the pain and overcome betrayal. For many of us, the first thing that comes to our mind is to strike out at the person who betrays us. But it would be better to first cry out to God. As the bile says "“Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing” (1 Peter 3:9). It is also a sinful nature for us to think "repay evil with evil". But we should know that Jesus teaches us otherwise : "Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. . . . Pray for those who persecute you” (Matthew 5:39, 44). Another way to deal with it is our God-given ability to forgive the betrayer as in Matthew 5:44 says “But I tell you: love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you”.

It's been warned and predicted in the Bible about the betrayal that will happen. I believe that the warning is given to us in order for us not to be led astray. If ever time comes that we are being betrayed or treated unfairly; we should always remember that we are serving and not only serving but we are the child of a just and loyal God and Father so we have to remain just and loyal.

It is inevitable that people will betray you. There are so many factors that resulted to this kind of betrayal, such as jealousy, money, and among others. But, we need to take it as a worth of experience to determine a true friend.

Betrayal is happening over and over again but it will escalate in the last days. I believe that we are in the last days and that is the reason why evil is increasing exponentially.

A friend of mine has been betrayed by another friend recently and it really hurt a lot. Betrayal ruins all kinds of relationships. It destroys trust and when it does, it's difficult to put back what has been broken.

You will find such treacherous characters in the great Hindu epic,'Mahabharata.'A lot of movies and tv serials are made on this epic,and they teach us a great lesson.So far as real life is concerned,you may find many treacherous people around you.You must be knowing how much hurting they are.I have been stabbed at my back by them many times.Reading about them in books and novels or epics may be interesting,but in real life....God save.
