John 17

11 Now I am no longer in the world,He would still be around for another forty days, or so, but the countdown has begun. yet these are in the world, and I am coming to You.

"Holy Father, keep them in Your name which You have given to me, so that they may be one just as we are.I imagine that this will only be fully realized after we are glorified. 12 While I was with them in the world I kept them in Your name. I protected those whom You gave me, and not one of them was lost except the son of perdition, so that the Scripture might be fulfilled.This is perhaps the clearest of a very few passages in the Bible that might be said to indicate what has been called ‘double predestination’ or ‘preterition’, that is, that someone is predestined to be lost. In Hebrew usage (Jesus, a Jew among Jews, was presumably speaking Hebrew here) a ‘son’ of something is characterized by that something; so a ‘son of perdition’ is characterized by lostness; the Scripture in question would be part of the Old Testament and hence written long before the person was born. (I have not been able to locate a clear text to that effect, but there are indirect ones.)
