in a certain way, you could see it as a come back of judas priest to its roots with the return of halford, much like ac/dc's back in black continuing playing even when late singer bon scott died but then brian johnson was pulled in as lead singer. with "judas rising" the band could be talking of its return to their rightful throne as metal gods now that halfor is in again.
however, as it was metioned above, it does sound kind of scary. this is because it is sort of talking about the end of the world. when judas iscariot sold out jesus, he was condemend to hell because of his sin, and so, you could look at it as judas siding with satan to destroy the world when satans army collides with that of the heavens in the forcoming armaggedon mentioned in the apocalypse of the bible.
Look at it:
"war in the heavens" war between god and satan.
"eternal betrayer" for selling out Jesus even though he was a follower of him at first.
"dark prince of the world" referring to satan who reigns over hell, or to himself for siding with satan to confront heaven in the armageddon.
