We see Jesus predicting his death in Mtt 26:24 (NRSVCE ):

The Son of man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom whom the Son of man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man man if he had not been born.” .

< Let us look at the prospects of Judas not having been born. That would not deter the human incarnation and redemptive mission of Son of God from happening.On On the other side, Judas not born would be Judas not in existence. But then, how is not being in existence beneficial to the person  ? Is it that a person's soul pre-exists his/ her conception and foetal life, the latter being the stage of preparation for ' birth into the world ' ? In other words, did Judas have a soul that existed even before his conception  ? 

My question therefore, is : Does Mtt 26:24 hint at the possibility of pre-natal existence of a person's soul ?Does Matt 26:24 hint at the possibility of pre-natal existence of a person's soul?
