CHAPTER 1 

Book of Jude - Who Is Jude: 

Jude the half-brother of Jesus goes toe to toe with the Pharisees 

and the Sadducees of his day that corrupt the message of the 

Gospel. 

The Book of Jude is full of unique insights from the Old 

Testament: lessons from Israel in the Wilderness; the angels 

that sinned; the strange events in Sodom and Gomorrah; 

Michael and Satan’s contention over the body of Moses; and 

other insights from Cain, Balaam, Korah, as well as the 

mysterious person known as Enoch. Jude is the “vestibule” 

of the book of Revelation. It includes the oldest prophecy 

uttered by a prophet of the Second Coming of Christ, declared 

before the flood of Noah. This unique epistle was written for 

us today: it is the only book of the New Testament devoted 

entirely to apostasy. Full of surprises for the diligent student, 

it is a unique pleasure as well as an essential equipping. 

Judah then challenges the church to contend for the faith 

and stay faithful to God. 

In this volume, I explain “UFO Abductions Compared to 

Scripture” 

UFO Abductions have all of the characteristics recorded in 

scripture; 

1. The actual abductions have the same characteristics as 

Luke 4:5 

Luke 4:5 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, 

shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment 

of time.

BOOK OF JUDE 

• James — good works as evidence of saving faith; 

• Jude — evil works as evidence of apostasy. 

- Tragically neglected ‘by students, commentaries have three 

pages on the book of Jude, 

· That said, it’s a book of substantial neglect etc. 

· It is the only book devoted ENTIRELY to the Great Apostasy. 

Before the Lord comes, in fact, the Lord proposes A rhetorical 

question, will he find faith on the earth? 

· There is a specific heresy that is emerging throughout the 

body of Christ, it’s happening in the Charismatic movement, 

it’s happening in the Fundamentalist movement, it’s happening 

at the Apologetic level, at the Grass Roots level. It involves 

some of the most distinguished leadership throughout America, 

and secretly. 

· Many of the leaders in the so-called Christian Church in 

America secretly espouse the doctrine that is not only a heresy 

but maybe laying the very philosophical foundation for The 

Great Tribulation. 

· Again, Jude is the only book devoted ENTIRELY to the Great 

Apostacy. 

Luke 18:8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. 

Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith 

on the earth? 

Apostosia: 

The “Falling Away” 

· Apostasia is a word that gets kicked around a bit, let’s look 

add a few of these critical passages. 

2 Thessalonians 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: 

for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away 

first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 

10

CHAPTER 1 

Antichrist is not his title: · And then it goes on to talk about 

the Antichrist in a lot of ways and I’m using the term Antichrist 

in a colloquial sense. You sophisticated students know that 

it’s not one of his titles he has 50 that’s not one them but it’s 

the one everyone uses, so, you know who I mean. 

· But the main point is an apostasy precedes the end times, it 

sets the stage for this leader to emerge, so, 2 Thessalonians 2 

is a key passage, I won’t be real our study into Jude to get into 

that. 

The “Departure from the Faith” 

1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the 

latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to 

seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 

· False doctrine is not just superstition, it is not just deviations 

from the truth, it is engineered deception by the host of 

darkness himself. 

“Unwillingness to Endure Sound Doctrine” 

2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not 

endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they 

heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they 

shall turn away [their] ears from the truth, and shall be turned 

unto fables. 

· And what’s really fascinating is when someone rejects the 

truth of Jesus Christ, the stuff they turn to the most bizarre 

things. 

“False teachers, Damnable Heresies” 

2 Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the 

people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who 

privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the 

Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift 

destruction. 

11

BOOK OF JUDE 

“Where Is the Promise?” 

2 Peter 3:3-4 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the 

last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4 And saying, 

Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell 

asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of 

the creation. 

· By the way this may sound strange because on the one hand 

of the characteristics of these false teachers is that they are 

going to cast doubt about the second coming of Jesus Christ. 

Part of the viewpoint or doctrine of this is them saying, “Where 

is the promise of his coming?” It’s a skeptical rhetorical 

question about denying the second coming. The argument 

here doesn’t seem linked at first blessed at all. He says, for 

since the father’s first fell asleep all things continue as they 

were from the beginning of creation. 

· What’s not obvious by the structure of that sentence is there 

is a link here in a doubt of creation with the second coming. 

What has the second coming to do with evolution and so forth, 

it’s this disparagement of the idea that there is a God, who 

on the one hand created the universe in the first place, and 

secondly intervenes in its history by returning and involving 

Himself. And one of the fascinating links it’s not obvious, 

but it’s worth you consideration to recognize that a faith in 

the creation is linked to a faith in prophecy. It has to do with 

Uniformitarianism, it has to do with the recognition that there 

is a Creator who has a purpose and an involvement in your life 

as well as mine. 

· That’s whole idea behind, God’s purpose in the first place 

and His willingness and interest and involvement in interfering 

in man’s history and intervening and in fact intruding 

none other than His Son on a very special mission. And one in 

12

CHAPTER 1 

which He will again, intrude upon history by returning and so 

forth. 

· So, the whole idea of the Second coming is related to … 

Genesis 1 is related to Revelation 22, it’s all linked. 

Chapter 1 

• Jude 1 Session 1 - Chuck Missler 

- James — Good works as evidence of saving faith; 

- Jude — Evil works as evidence of apostasy. 

· The apostles Jude and James were brothers. 

• Jude is the vestibule of the book of Revelation. 

Structurally it’s very handy because it sets the stage for the 

Book of Revelation. 

· Jude will be fun for us because it gives us an excuse to pick 

into the dark corners of the books in the Old Testament. Jude 

makes all kinds of off hand references things he assumes you 

know, and that causes us to scramble for our Concordances 

and whatever to find out what on earth is he talking about? 

• Filled with fascinating Old Testament references and 

allusions. 

Structural Outline: 

· There are 11 parts to the book of Jude but structurally, it’s 

quite interesting. The first and the last line is “Assurance for 

the Christian” it opens with “Assurance for the Christian” 

and it closes with “Assurance for the Christian.” That’s no 

13

BOOK OF JUDE 

surprise he’s going to talk about apostasy but he’s going to 

talk to you people not the apostates. So, the one thing that he 

wants to do is give you is assurance, both up front and at the 

end. 

· The Second section from the beginning is the same idea, as 

the second from the end. “The Believer and the Faith.” 

The second and the tenth. 

· The Third from the front end is “Apostates Described”, 

and the third from the back is apostates described. 

· The Fourth subject so to speak is “Apostasy in Old Testament 

History”, the fourth from the end is, “Apostasy in Old 

Testament Prophecy.” 

· The Fifth subject is “Apostasy in the Supernatural Realm”, 

the Fifth from the end is “Apostasy in the Natural Realm.” 

· And the Middle section is “An Ancient Trio of Apostates”

Assurance for the Christian 24-25 

· “Jude” in Greek is, Judas here’s a book about apostasy, 

whose name happens to be synonymous with traitor. (i.e., 

“Apostasy,” “Traitor”!) It’s interesting we call our kids 

Samuel, We call our sons “Paul,” “Peter” John, and Matthew. 

How many of you named your kids Judas? Jude and Judas was 

14

CHAPTER 1 

a very common name in Christ’s day. It’s four or five of them 

in the New Testament alone. And yet because of one by the 

name of Iscariot, the name has sort of gotten tainted it’s not a 

popular name you know you name your dogs “Nero,” “Caesar” 

you don’t even name your dog Judas. 

· The only pet that I know who has the name of Judas, is at the 

meatpacking plant in South Dakota, there actually is a Judas 

goat. He leads the cattle up the ramp, he turns right, and the 

cattle turns left. 

· The Holy Spirit does in fact, more often than not, indulge 

in puns. Not for humor but for a message. When we in the Old 

Testament read the Book of Joshua, the name Yahoshua is the 

Hebrew name for Jesus. And when you realize there’s a book 

in the Old Testament whose name is a namesake for our Lord, 

it pauses our attention and all kinds of things to surface and 

for us to look at that sort of thing. 

• Joshua comes from the Hebrew name “Yehoshua,” meaning 

“God is deliverance.” 

· Here is a book about apostasy that happens to carry the name 

Judas, is provocative. 

1] Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to 

them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in 

Jesus Christ, and called: 

“Bondservant of Jesus Christ”: doulos. Is He your LORD, 

too? Cf. Revelation 1:1, “to show His servants….” 

· Jesus had four brothers. 

· This is not the Jude listed with the 12 apostles, this is a 

different Jude. 

· This is not the James listed with the 12 apostles, this is a 

15

BOOK OF JUDE 

different James. 

· This Jude and James were brothers. 

Revelation 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God 

gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must 

shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel 

unto his servant John: 

“Servants” From, doulos (1401)” a slave. doúlos (a masculine 

noun of uncertain derivation) – properly, someone who 

belongs to another; a bond-slave, without any ownership rights 

of their own. Ironically, 1401 /doúlos (“bond-slave”) is used 

with the highest dignity in the New Testament – namely, of 

believers who willingly live under Christ’s authority as His 

devoted followers. 

· “Brother of James”: James was Head of the Church in 

Jerusalem; author of the Epistle of James; the “Lord’s brother” 

(Galatians 1:19); one of four “brothers” of Jesus (Mark 6:3; cf. 

Psalms 69:7,8). 

The Family of Jesus: 

Mark 6:2-3 And when the sabbath day was come, he began 

to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were 

astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? 

and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even 

such mighty works are wrought by his hands? 3 Is not this the 

carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, 

and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? 

And they were offended at him. 

· Neither James nor Jude were among the 12. They didn’t 

believe it (at first); cf. John 7:5. 

John 7:5 For even His own brothers did not believe in Him. ( 

Berean Study Bible) 

· James and Jude both, became very active after His resurrec- 

16

CHAPTER 1 

tion. 

Epistles: 

• James — good works as evidence of saving faith; 

• Jude — evil works as evidence of apostasy. 

Let’s check our equipment before we plunge into the book. 

Jude 1:1b…to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and 

preserved in Jesus Christ, and called: 

There are three concepts here. 

· “Sanctified … Preserved … Called”: 

Trinity: Called, Beloved, Kept (Authorized Version). 

· There is a “calling”, there is a “loving”, and there is a 

“keeping.” Who called you? The Father. Who loves you? Jesus. 

Who preserves or keeps you? The Holy Spirit. 

“Called” 

• I have chosen you (John 15:16; John 6:65) 

• God hath from the beginning chosen you. (2 Thessalonians 

2:13, 14) 

• Foreknew, predestined, called, justified, glorified 

(Romans 8:28-30) 

Romans 8:28-30 And we know that all things work together 

for good to them that 

love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 

9 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be 

conformed to the image of his Son, that he 

might be the firstborn among many brethren. 10 Moreover 

whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he 

called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he 

17

BOOK OF JUDE 

also glorified. 

5 Steps: 

Foreknow, predestinate, called, justified, glorified. 

· This happens to be the structure of the Book of Genesis. 

• Abraham (Was foreknown, and predestinated) 

• Isaac (His seed was called) 

• Jacob (If He can justify Jacob, He can justify anyone) 

• Joseph (Was glorified) as a type of Christ 

Paul has in mind here a structure, of the book of Genesis. 

“Beloved” 

Who are the “Beloved”? 

(John 14:23; John 16:27; John 17:20, 23). John 14:23 Jesus 

answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep 

my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come 

unto him, and make our abode with him. John 16:27 For the 

Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have 

believed that I came out from God. 

John 17 Is the Most Intimate Prayer in Scripture Between 

Jesus and the Father: 

John 17:20, 23 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them 

also which shall believe on me through their word; …23 I in 

them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; 

and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast 

loved them, as thou hast loved me. 

· The letter of Jude is not written to the unbeliever but to you 

and I. 

“Kept” 

· “Kept”, is the only salutation in any epistle in the New 

Testament that has this word in the salutation, that uses this 

18

CHAPTER 1 

particular verb “kept”. 

· The word in Greek implies, “Watchful care; close attention; 

it is a present possession.” 

Perfect tense: It actually means, “Continually kept” 

Example: of the word “kept.” Peter and Paul’s imprisonment 

(Acts 12:5; Acts 25:4, 21); our heavenly inheritance (1 

Peter 1:4). 

Perfect tense: “Continually kept.” 

· He will keep us from the hour of trial (Revelation 3:10). We 

are to be kept blameless unto the coming (1 Thessalonians 

5:23). Caution: We need to “keep” ourselves (Jude 21)! 

“Kept” 

· It is used of the Fallen angels also, who “kept” not (verse 

6) as they kept not their first estate. 

· So, whatever is binding them, they are kept. 

· He will keep us from the hour of trial (Revelation 3:10). 

· Caution: We need to “keep” ourselves (Jude 21) in the love 

of God! 

· We are to be kept blameless unto the coming (1 Thessalonians 

5:23). 

2] Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied. 

· “ Mercy” rather than Grace? 

• Grace is getting what we don’t deserve 

• Unmerited favor, what we are not entitled to. 

• Mercy is not getting what we do deserve 

• Implies failure 

Why is it mercy rather than grace? Because mercy suits the 

message (Hebrews 4:16). 

Law = Death (Numbers 15:32-36), failure (James 2:10) 

19

BOOK OF JUDE 

Works = Chamber of horrors (Galatians 5:19-21) 

Grace: Ephesians 2:4 

· “Peace”: We have peace with God through our Lord Jesus 

Christ (Romans 5:1). There is no peace for the wicked (Isaiah 

57:20,21). 

• Worry about nothing / 

• Pray about everything | Philippians 4:6-7 

• Thank God for anything / 

Philippians 4:6-7 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by 

prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be 

made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth 

all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through 

Christ Jesus. 

· Did you know that worry is a sin? I (Chuck Missler) worry a 

lot, I’m a big sinner, I have a lot of anxieties, it’s all unbelief. I 

pray a lot about that, I’m worrying less and less because He’s 

just taking over more and more, and I wished I had learned 

that a long time ago. They don’t pay me by the hour they pay 

be by the ulcer (Chuck Missler.) He sees us through, never 

early but always at the last minute because He’s got to get us 

to the point to where we finally give up and realize it’s all in His 

hands. When we do that, He comes through and fixes things, 

and you’d wonder why don’t we ever learn to stop worrying 

and we pray about everything and whatever happens we give 

thanks and so forth. 

2] (Continued) Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be 

multiplied. 

· “ Love”: This word appears in each of the first three verses: 

it must be important. 

20

CHAPTER 1 

· It is our badge of identity. 

John 13:34, 35 A new commandment I give unto you, That 

ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one 

another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, 

if ye have love one to another. 

· Lack of love in the end times (Philadelphia is followed by 

Laodicea). 

· The Ephesians were very rigorous and steadfast in their 

doctrine, but they lost their first love. 

· Ephesian pitfall: They lost their “first love…” 

· Cf. In Jude 20,21; these same elements appear. 

Jude 20-21 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your 

most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, 21 Keep yourselves 

in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ 

unto eternal life. 

· So, we have mercy, peace, and love. Mercy is upward, Peace 

is inward, and Love is outward. 

Mercy: Upward Peace: Inward Love: Outward 

Jude’s Objective: 

• This is written to the Beloved 

- This has very little meaning to those not born into the family 

of God 

1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the 

things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto 

him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually 

discerned. 

• 1 Corinthians 2:14 “agapao”: totally given over to. 

21

BOOK OF JUDE 

3] Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the 

common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, 

and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith 

which was once delivered unto the saints. 

· “Beloved” From, “agapétos (27)” a verbal adjective, derived 

from 26 /agápē, “love”) – properly, divinely-loved; 

beloved (“loved by God”), i.e. personally experiencing God’s 

“agapē-love.” 

· What the language in the English doesn’t get across is what 

he’s really trying to say here. “…when I gave all diligence to 

write unto you of the common salvation,…” 

· That’s what he started to do, what he’s really saying is, 

“When I sat down in all straightforwardness to write you a 

letter about our common salvation.” In other words, we are 

believers and I sat down, and I was about to write you … I infer 

that it’s probably like a letter that Paul would write. He’d 

be away on a trip, and he’d write his church to encourage 

them and pray for them and give them and write about our 

commonalities and sometimes include some theological tid 

bits, but basically just want to encourage them. 

· That’s what Jude started to do. 

· Jude’s objective for the epistle. To whom is the epistle 

written? To the “Beloved.” It holds little meaning to those not 

born into His family. 

· There was “A Divine Compulsion” — something changed 

his mind. 

· Jude was divinely forced to write what he wrote. 

· The word in Greek means, “to compress; to put pressure 

on.”) 

• Christ: “must needs” (Acts 17:3); 

22

CHAPTER 1 

• Paul: “necessity is laid upon me…” (1 Corinthians 9:16). 

• Word precise (2 Peter 1:21). 

Acts 17:3 Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have 

suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, 

whom I preach unto you, is Christ. 

· That word, “must needs” is the same compulsion. 

· How urgent was it for Christ to suffer and die and to be 

raised again from the dead? Pretty urgent, the word in Greek 

is pretty intense. 

1 Corinthians 9:16 For though I preach the gospel, I have 

nothing to glory of: for 

necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach 

not the gospel! 

· Paul says, “necessity is laid upon me;” 

2 Peter 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the 

will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by 

the Holy Ghost. 

Exhortation: 

First Exhortation: Earnestly contend for the faith. 

· “Exhort” in the Greek is a (verb) = the (noun) is Paraclete: 

comforter, called alongside. 

· Greek “contend” is to agonize upon; to “contend” strenuously 

in defense of. 

· “Contend” is an active military word. 

How are YOU faithfully following this exhortation? 

Examples: 

• Do you strengthen the hands of faithful pastors and tape 

ministries (Revelation 3:2) 

• Are you an unflinching witness; diligent preparation (verse 

20) 

23

BOOK OF JUDE 

• Do you withhold support and encouragement from those 

who compromise or deny the whole counsel of God; speak out 

against the preaching of “another Gospel” (Proverbs 19:27) 

• Do you work with a sword at your side (Nehemiah 4:17, 18). 

Nehemiah 4:17, 18 They which builded on the wall, and they 

that bare burdens, with those that laded, every one with one of 

his hands wrought in the work, and with the other hand held a 

weapon. 18 For the builders, every one had his sword girded 

by his side, and so builded. And he that sounded the trumpet 

was by me. 

· In whatever work you do it is appropriate to have a sword, it 

is the word of God. 

“That Ye Should Earnestly Contend For The Faith” 

· “Epagónizomai (1864)” meaning, to contend with or for. 

epagōnízomai (from 1909 /epí, “focused on” and 73 /agṓ n, “a 

contest, competition”) 

– properly, to contend (literally, “struggle upon, appropriately”), 

i.e. with skill and commitment in opposing whatever 

is not of faith 

Faith: 

· Contend earnestly for the “Faith” 

· The word “Faith” is a more inclusive term than “salvation” 

or “gospel.” 

· Eighteen occurrences: There are eighteen references 

• Examine yourselves (2 Corinthians 13:5) 

2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the 

faith; prove your 

own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus 

Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? 

24

CHAPTER 1 

• Mystery (1 Timothy 3:9) 

1 Timothy 3:9 Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure 

conscience. 

· “Mystery” from, “musterion” is something that was hidden, 

but now I’m revealing it. 

· So, there’s something about faith, it’s not really obvious 

it’s not a glib easy thing. 

· Faith is more than “belief.” Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ 

and you shall be saved, you and your house great. I can believe 

that that chair will hold my weight, I don’t have faith in it until 

I rely on it. 

· Faith has to do with relying on that belief. 

• To be departed in the last days (1 Timothy 4:1) 




· Faith is something, that is going to depart from the earth 

in the Last Days, in some broad way. 

· That’s why the epistle to Jude is such a last day’s issue, 

apostasy is going to be something that not just happen in the 

last days, it is going to characterize the last days. 

• Involves duty to others (1 Timothy 5:8) 

1 Timothy 5:8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially 

for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is 

worse than an infidel. 

· Hey guys did you know that you have an obligation to 

25

BOOK OF JUDE 

provide for your families? You sort of knew that I mean you 

have read the book of Proverbs and you wife sort of reminds 

you of that. 

• Faithful teaching establishes the Church in faith (Acts 

16:5) 

Acts 16:5 And so were the churches established in the faith, 

and increased in number daily. 

• All believers need exhortation to stand fast and to continue 

therein (1 Corinthians 16:13; Acts 14:22) 

1 Corinthians 16:13 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you 

like men, be strong. 

Acts 14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, [and] 

exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must 

through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. 

Apostasy: 

· Any claim of additional revelation outside of the Bible is 

evidence of apostasy (Deuteronomy 4:2; Revelation 22:18). 

There is great need for a “Combat Faith” (Ephesians 6)! 

Deuteronomy 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I 

command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that 

ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which 

I command you. 

· That’s typical of many, many passages in the scripture it 

occurs obviously in the Torah as I’ve mentioned just here. Let’s 

go to the other end of the Book. 

Revelation 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth 

the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add 

26

CHAPTER 1 

unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are 

written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from 

the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away 

his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and 

[from] the things which are written in this book. 

· Do you want to add anything or subtract anything? I don’t 

think so. 

· All of this gives rise to, “Combat Faith.” There is great need 

for “Combat Faith” (Ephesians 6)! 

· The whole idea is that your faith is not just the passive, 

private, invisible thing that you have around a family night at 

the family table. 

· Faith isn’t just something in the quiet morning hours when 

you read your morning devotions. 

• There is a great need for “Combat Faith” (Ephesians 6)! 

· Faith is a combatant thing. 

- Put on the whole armor of God 

- Both defensive and offensive 

- Active warrior for the faith 

A Personal Side Note: 1 Thessalonians 2:19 put on the crown 

of rejoicing before putting on the helmet of salvation. 

1 Thessalonians 2:19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown 

of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus 

Christ at his coming? 

“Rejoicing” From, “kauchesis (2746)” meaning, boasting, 

which can either be in the “achievements” of self (negatively) 

or about God’s grace (positively). From kauchaomai; boasting 

(properly, the act; by implication, the object), in a good or a bad 

sense — boasting, whereof I may glory, glorying, rejoicing. 

27

BOOK OF JUDE 

· We have to have rejoicing in this war that the Lord has 

allowed us to partake in, joy in seeing Him move in us for His 

glory! 

• Why did Jude have to write this letter? 

· Because there are tares among the wheat. 

4] For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were 

before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, 

turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying 

the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. 

Verse 4: The Threat (contrast with 2 Peter). 

Why did Jude write this letter? Because of verse 4 

Why must we contend for the faith? Verse 4 

• There are Tares among the Wheat (Matthew 1:24-30) 

• False brethren have stolen into the Church (Galatians 2:4- 

5) 

Galatians 2:4-5 And that because of false brethren unawares 

brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which 

we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage: 

5 To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; 

that the truth of the gospel might continue with you. 

• Saints are in peril (2 Corinthians 11:26) 

2 Corinthians 11:26 In journeyings often, in perils of waters, 

in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in 

perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the 

wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren; 

· “Perils” From, “kindunos (2794)” danger, peril, risk. 

• Latter times: doctrines of demons (1 Timothy 4:1,6) 

• Pre-written warnings: Enoch verses 14,15. 

What Is an Apostate? 

28

CHAPTER 1 

Parable of the sower, the seed, the soils: 

• Rocky ground: In times of temptation (verb form Apostosia) 

“receive”: dekomi (Luke 8:13) vs. 

• Good ground: “receive”: Paradekomai (Mark 4:20); 

“welcomed” it into their life. 

· Apostates do not understand the Word 

· They do not bring forth fruit (Matthew 13:23) 

· “Without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by roots” (verse 12) 

What Is An Apostate? 

·— it is not indifference, error, or involvement in heresy 

alone: 

— Deliberate rejection is involved 

— They received light, but not life; written Word, but not 

Living Word 

— Examples: Judas, Cain, Balaam, Korah (verse 11) 

· What manner of men are these? “Crept in privily” = “have 

settled down alongside.” These are false teachers, privily shall 

bring in damnable heresies (2 Peter 2:1). 

Three Identifiers of Apostates: 

— Ungodly 

— perverts of grace 

— denying our Lord and Master 

• Cain, ungodliness 

• Balaam, perversion of grace 

• Korah, denial of God’s appointed leader 

— “Ungodly” = Someone who is destitute of reverential awe 

toward God 

• Form, but denies the power thereof (2 Timothy 3:5) 

• Denies the Gospel of Christ (Romans 1:16) 

29

BOOK OF JUDE 

• Denies the transforming power, new life (Philippians 3:10) 

• Heart vs. outward appearances is key (1 Samuel 16:7; Isaiah 

66:2) 

• Denies wrath against sin; God’s holiness and God’s acceptance 

of the finished work of Jesus Christ on behalf of sinners; 

• Universal Brotherhood of Man vs. John 8:44; John 1:12; 

Galatians 3:26 All men are not brothers, some are in the family 

of God and others are not. 

John 3:5-7 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot 

enter into the kingdom of God. 

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is 

born of the Spirit is spirit. 

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 

John 8:18 I am one that bear witness of myself, and the 

Father that sent me beareth witness of me. 19 Then said they 

unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither 

know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have 

known my Father also. 

· Here they are calling Jesus a bastard, they are alluding to 

his assumed illegitimacy, because of Joseph and Mary. 

· Jesus eventually tells them who their father is. 

John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of 

your father ye will do. 

He was a murderer from the beginning (Adam), and abode 

not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he 

speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the 

father of it. …58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto 

you, Before Abraham was, I am. 

The European Union (EU) is a supranational political and 

economic union of 27 member states 

30

CHAPTER 1 

The National Anthem is: 

Ode to Joy by Schiller from Beethoven’s 9 th 

The poem “Ode to Joy” expresses Schiller’s idealistic vision 

of the human race becoming brothers - a vision Beethoven 

shared. In 1972, the Council of Europe adopted Beethoven’s 

“Ode to Joy” theme as its anthem. In 1985, it was adopted by 

EU leaders as the official anthem of the European Union. 

Perverts of Grace: 

“Perverts the grace of God into lasciviousness”: 

· Perversion of Ephesians 2:8,9 vs. Titus 2:11-13; rejection 

of the Word of God occurs whenever it is displaced by tradition, 

custom, creed, loyalty to an organization, etc. 

Titus 2:11-13 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation 

hath appeared to all men, 12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness 

and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, 

and godly, in this present world; 13 Looking for that blessed 

hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our 

Saviour Jesus Christ; 

· Rejection of the Word of God occurs whenever it is displaced 

by tradition, custom, creed, loyalty to an organization, etc. 

· When these things displace, the primacy of the word of God 

in your life, that is perverting the grace of God in your life. 

Deny Our LORD: 

“Denies our only Master and Lord Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 

2:1,2): 

• His Sovereignty: Preexistent Creator of all things. 

• “Lord”: of all true believers (Acts 10:36; Romans 14:9). 

• “Jesus”: Jehovah the Saviour, our martyr-substitute. 

• “Christ”: Messiah, the Anointed One of Old Testament 

Prophecy. 

31

BOOK OF JUDE 

· If we deny Him, He will deny us (Matthew 10:3; 2 Timothy 

2:12; 1 John 2:22,23). 

Homework: Numbers 14 (answered prayer); 1 Corinthians 

10, Hebrews 3,4.

Chapter 2 


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydzsAcSWh6Q 

Review: 

• Jude was the brother of James and Jesus. 

• The Book is subtitled, “The Acts of the Apostates” 

• To whom was the Book of Jude written? To The Beloved 

Believers, and the End of the Age. 

• Jude’s message affects our day. 

• The book of Jude contrasts with the book of James 

• Why was it written? Exhort Believers to Contend Earnestly 

for The Faith. 

- By directly witnessing 

- Supporting those who teach the whole council of God 

Three Examples of Apostasy: 

Verses 5, 6, and 7 

33

BOOK OF JUDE 

Three Examples (for our learning…) The three different 

groups 

Example: Group: 

• Israel verse 5 “saved men” 

• Angels that sinned verse 6 “angels” 

• Sodom & Gomorrah verse 7 “unsaved men” 

5] I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once 

knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of 

the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. 

Remember: 

• Writing to believers, calls to mind some history: 

• Remember Exodus, Numbers, Deuteronomy 

• Remember how Israel was miraculously delivered 

• Remember how a world empire yielded to God’s hand 

• God set things up to show His strength and power 

• God uses this event for an example to the people 

• Not just minimum amount of power to do the job 

• It was a grand display of God’s mighty power 

• Pillar of fire by night and a pillar of cloud by day 

• Trapped between the Egyptian army and the Red Sea 

• The water part for them to go through on dry land 

• The Egyptians drowned in an attempt to follow them 

• It was an 11-day journey from Horeb to Kadesh-Barnea 

Deuteronomy 1:2 Berean Study Bible It is an eleven-day 

journey from Horeb to Kadesh-barnea by way of Mount Seir. 

• It took Israel 38 years to make an 11-day journey 

34

CHAPTER 2 

• Over a million left Egypt. None returned 

• Only two Israelites over 20 years old who left Egypt ever 

reached Canaan 

• That’s what Jude is talking about here, in part 

• A million were delivered from Egypt 

• Were those million saved? 

• There was a mixed multitude 

• Those that rebelled against Moses got theirs Korah, 

Dathan, Abiathar 

• The question is were they saved? 

Lessons from Israel’s Wilderness Experience: 

• What is the issue? 

• NOT: I don’t think Jude is focusing on the ability of the 

Lord to save these people 

• God being able and willing to save this is not the issue 

Of all the other lessons that we’re not going to talk about is; 

• Passover Lamb (the blood on the doorpost) 

• How were they saved out of Egypt? 

• Red Sea Miracle? 

• Tabernacle? Priesthood? Offerings? 

• The issue is APOSTASY: 

• The Falling Away 

• And destruction that falls upon them because of that 

• The lesson is: 

• God reserves the right to destroy that people if they 

become guilty of certain forms of unbelief, or other sins 

to which unbelief leads. 

35

BOOK OF JUDE 

• That’s the sobering insight that we’re going to see dramatized 

by none other and Israel herself. 

Important Reminders: 

Assurance and Safekeeping: 

• “They shall never perish” (John 10:28) 

John 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall 

never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 

29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no 

man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. 

• “…shall never thirst” (John 4:14) Those in hell, always 

thirst. 

John 4:14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give 

him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall 

be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. 

• There are no conditions in the sense of being “losable.” 

• Don’t confuse eternal security with the idea that we can 

suffer destruction. 

Acts 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, 

in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and 

searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. 

Let’s Understand Verse 5: 

1) Understand what this salvation was 

2) Understand what this unbelief was 

3) Understand what this destruction was. 

36

CHAPTER 2 

There are three examples in these three verses 5-6 and 7, 

the second two are tied up with eternal punishment. So, if you 

read this casually you might imply that it applies to all three, 

it might apply to some in verse 5. 

• Was Israel truly saved? 

• That was the reason for the blood on the doorpost 

• “My people…” (Exodus 3:7; 5:1; Deuteronomy 33:29) 

• Was everyone saved? - No, some have some very peculiar 

views 

Some prayed an unusual prayer and God answered it. 

• They were saved in a deeper sense than just being delivered 

from bondage. 

• We see over a million people rounded up and leaving Egypt 

how many returned? None returned 

• Among the multitude, there were some that didn’t make it 

• In Numbers 14:1, 2 — the people prayed a prayer? 

• Verses 28, and 29 — prayer answered! 

• God answered their prayer according to their wishes! 

Numbers 14:1-2 And all the congregation lifted up their voice, 

and cried; and the people wept that night. 2 And all the children 

of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the 

whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had 

died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this 

wilderness! 

• It wasn’t that long ago that they were feeling the sting 

of the taskmaster whip, it wasn’t that long ago that they 

37

BOOK OF JUDE 

were abused slaves. 

• God through the most incredible theatrics delivers them 

and how quickly they forget. 

• And now they are murmuring, saying, “Would God that 

we had died in the land of Egypt!” 

Numbers 14:3 And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto 

this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children 

should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt? 

Numbers 14:26 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto 

Aaron, saying, 27 How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, 

which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings 

of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me. 28 

Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have 

spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you: 29 Your carcases 

shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of 

you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old 

and upward, which have murmured against me, 30 Doubtless 

ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to 

make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and 

Joshua the son of Nun. 31 But your little ones, which ye said 

should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the 

land which ye have despised. 32 But as for you, your carcases, 

they shall fall in this wilderness. 

• For 38 years day one until they die off, they got their prayer 

answered. 

Numbers 14:33 And your children shall wander in the wilderness 

forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases 

be wasted in the wilderness. 

38

CHAPTER 2 

• There’s a tendency for you and I to read these quaint 

stories in the Bible, and think, “They were under the law, 

and that was then, we’re under grace.” 

Let’s see what the apostle Paul says about this kind of thinking. 

Exposition of 1 Corinthians 10:1-14 

11] Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: 

and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends 

of the world are come. 

• ALL that’s written in the Old Testament on Israel is for our 

example … types! 

Nothing is extraneous (irrelevant or unrelated to the subject 

being dealt with.). 

• Names, numbers, places, all of it is for our learning. 

• I don’t believe there’s a name a number a place in the 

scripture that’s not there for our learning. 

• The Kabbalistic rabbis say that when the Messiah comes, 

He will interpret all things, He will even interpret the 

spaces between the letters. They believe that the text is 

so mystical, with numerical value and letters, and every 

detail has meaning. And they muster up some amazing 

insights from all of that. 

• I lean that way, I may be a New Testament Kabbalist I 

suppose, I think that they are on the right track. 

1 Corinthians 10:1-4 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye 

should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the 

cloud, and all passed through the sea; 2 And were all baptized 

39

BOOK OF JUDE 

unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 3 And did all eat the 

same spiritual meat; 4 And did all drink the same spiritual 

drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: 

and that Rock was Christ. 

• Take the word “rock” or “stone” throughout the scripture 

from beginning to end, and it is an amazing study. The 

rock that was struck, that was smitten for you and I and 

brings forth water. The second time it was supposed to 

give forth water and Moses didn’t follow directions he 

wasn’t supposed to hit the rock and that’s when he lost 

his commission. 

• But again, it was lessons the Lord was stop trying to teach 

in terms of that rock, the stone cut without hands. The 

stone in Daniel 2 in Nebuchadnezzar’s vision, all the way 

through scripture, it’s a study that you can take with 

your commentary. It all points to Yeshua Hamashiach 

the Messiah of Israel. 

• And here this is not one of those places where this is 

some coincidental happening, all himself indulges that 

pun right here. The rock that followed them and that rock 

was Christ, Christ is intended to be visible in the Torah. 

1 Corinthians 10:5-6 But with many of them God was not well 

pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. 6 Now 

these things were our examples, to the intent we should not 

lust after evil things, as they also lusted. 

Types: 

There is some typology going on additional to the actual 

historical event of the Egyptian Pharoah in Israel. The Holy 

Spirit also used typologically, Egypt is a type or model of the 

40

CHAPTER 2 

world. 

• True Faith vs. outward relationship only: 

• Egypt Type of World 

• Pharaoh Type of Devil & his armies 

• Moses Type of Deliverer: Christ 

• Red Sea Type of Baptism 

• Pillar: cloud, fire Type of Holy Spirit 

• Manna Type of Bread of Life 

• Water from Smitten Rock Type of Living Water 

• Carcasses fell in the wilderness, not Egypt: 

- They were out of Egypt but short of Canaan. 

They are probably where you and I are at, out of Egypt. The 

very fact that you are called to his Bible study, implies that 

you were called out of this world with some level of maturity. 

And yet, the presumption that I am making is that we have not 

crossed over to the Jordan. 

Misconceptions: 

• Some naive songs give the wrong typology. 

• Crossing over the Jordan is NOT dying! 

• Canaan the promised land is NOT heaven! 

- There are battles in Canaan! 

• Crossing over into the Promised Land is the idea of entering 

into what God has for us. Hebrews 3 & 4 

• Recognize that while it’s undesirable to wander in the 

wilderness and desirable to cross over the Jordan into 

Canaan land. 

41

BOOK OF JUDE 

- Don’t confuse that with dying and going to heaven. 

- There is something that God desires for you to enter into 

while you’re here, in your walk and into His rest. Taking 

advantage of His promises in a more comprehensive way. 

Application to the Church: 

• Most of us make a 40-year wandering out of an 11-day 

journey, that’s what the apostle Paul is trying to tell us. 

- Had Israel accepted God’s word on faith they would have 

entered into the land 38 years earlier. It was their unbelief that 

prevented them from entering in. 

- We need to appropriate all of what God has for us. 

• Leave behind the wilderness of doubt, defeat, and failures, 

and enter VICTORY! 

1 Corinthians 10; Hebrews 3 & 4; Revelation 3. 

- When you think of Canaan don’t think of heaven, think of 

VICTORY! 

- Is this a theme that applies to the church? Yes! 

• “Thou how hast the name that thou livest, and art dead.” 

(The Church of Sardis, Revelation 3:1) 

• Cf. Lazarus: Had three stages 1. Dead. 2. Defeated. 3. 

Dangerous. 

1 Corinthians 10:6 Now these things were our examples, to the 

intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. 

7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, 

The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. 

42

CHAPTER 2 

Idolatry: 

• Idolatry: When the Leader is no longer visible, they begin 

to indulge in idolatry => Golden Calf Exodus 32 

An idol is anything we place before the Lord … “Little children, 

keep yourself from idols” (1 John 5:21; 1 Corinthians 10:14). 

1 Corinthians 10:14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from 

idolatry. 

1 John 5:21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. 

Amen. 

What is an idol? 

• An idol is anything we place before the Lord … 

• Something we create, embrace, establish … 

• Career 

• Hobbies 

• What we pour our passion into 

• Gets between us and God 

Jordan is NOT death. Leave behind the wilderness of doubt, 

defeat, and failures, and enter into VICTORY! 

• It was an 11-day journey from Horeb to Kadesh-Barnea 

(Deuteronomy 1:2). It took Israel 38 years!! Over a million 

left Egypt. None returned. 

• But only two Israelites over 20 years old who left Egypt 

ever reached Canaan! 

8] Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, 

and fell in one day three and twenty thousand... 

43

BOOK OF JUDE 

[23,000: “one day” vs. Numbers 25:9 “24,000.”] 

• 23,000 fell the first day, 2,000 the next. 

• Direct fornication is obviously a gigantic problem in our 

society, there are derivative aspects of it. 

• Uncleanness: Novels, movies, cable TV, modern music; 

“Ye have been called to liberty; only use not liberty for an 

occasion to the flesh” 

Galatians 5:13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; 

only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love 

serve one another. 

• That broadens the definition considerably, 

9] Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, 

and were destroyed of serpents. 

Tempt Christ? “Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?” 

Numbers 21: 

Numbers 21:5 And the people spake against God, and against 

Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die 

in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any 

water; and our soul loatheth this light bread. 

• Neglect of manna is tempting the Lord! 

- They murmured against the manna! [Response to ingratitude 

… lessons as a parent…] 

6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and 

they bit the people; and much people of Israel died. 

44

CHAPTER 2 

• God doesn’t mess around! 

7 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have 

sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against 

thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from 

us. And Moses prayed for the people. 

8 And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent 

(saraph), and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that 

every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live. 

9 And Moses made a serpent (nachash) of brass, and put it 

upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent (nachash) 

had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent (nachash) of 

brass, he lived. 

• Pole - is traditionally considered to be a cross 

• Christ as a Brazen Serpent? (John 3:14,15) 

• Brass = Judgement; Serpent = Sin (2 Corinthians 5:21) 

• That brass serpent is a type of Jesus Christ 

John 3:14,15 And as Moses lifted up the serpent (snake/Satan) 

in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 

- God set this up here technically to call it a pun, He has set 

up a model of none other than the cross of Calvary. 

- That brass serpent is a type of Jesus Christ. 

- Jesus Christ would be raised up and put on a pole so that 

whoever looks to him will be saved, over him the serpent would 

have no power. 

John 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, 

but have eternal life. 

2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, 

who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of 

45

BOOK OF JUDE 

God in him. 

• The holy one of God was made sin for us, that’s why he 

could say, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” 

Psalms 22 

[Aesculapius: son of Apollo; born in Alexandria; the symbol 

of Aesculapius is a single serpent on a cross — in Greek 

mythology, the double serpent (medical profession’s symbol) 

is Hermes, the symbol of commerce (trade)!] 

• Some 690 years later the brazen serpent was still in the 

hands of Israel, and it was being worshipped. (2 Kings 18) 

• Maybe that’s why Noah’s Ark is still hidden because we 

seek to put the creation ahead of the Creator every chance 

we get. 

1 Corinthians 10:10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also 

murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. 

• “Neither murmur” 

• re: Korah, Dathan, and Abiram 

Numbers 16:3 And they gathered themselves together against 

Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too 

much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every 

one of them, and the LORD is among them: wherefore then 

lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD? … 

• After Moses tried reasoning with them and got nowhere, 

he said, …

CHAPTER 2 

Numbers 16:30-33 But if the LORD make a new thing, and 

the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that 

appertain unto them, and they go down quick into the pit; then 

ye shall understand that these men have provoked the LORD. 

Inserted Note (TWH): This is the same place as Isaiah 5:14 

and houses, their property, people, and their stuff are all in 

hell. 

Isaiah 5:14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened 

her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, 

and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into 

it. 

31 And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking 

all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under 

them: 32 And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed 

them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained 

unto Korah, and all their goods. 33 They, and all that appertained 

to them, went down alive into the pit, and the 

earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the 

congregation. 

• “Pit” is From the word, “sheol (7585)” meaning, underworld 

(place to which people descend at death). 

• “Hell” is From the word, “sheol (7585)” meaning, underworld 

(place to which people descend at death). 

• Why shouldn’t we murmur? Because God gave us everything. 

• “He that spared not his own Son,…” 

Romans 8:32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered 

him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us 

all things? 

47

BOOK OF JUDE 

• Never allow ourselves to become self-confident. (verse 12 

teaches us, “Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth 

take heed lest he fall.” 

• “But the fearful, and unbelieving” 

Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, 

and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and 

idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which 

burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. 

• “Fearful” From the word, “deilos (1169)” deilós (an adjective 

derived from deidō, “fear-driven”) – properly, 

dreadful, describing a person who loses their “moral 

gumption (fortitude)” that is needed to follow the Lord. 

1169 /deilós (“fearful of losses”) refers to an excessive fear 

(dread) of “losing,” causing someone to be fainthearted 

(cowardly) – hence, to fall short in following Christ as 

Lord. [1169 /deilós is always used negatively in the New 

Testament and stands in contrast to the positive fear which 

can be expressed by 5401 /phóbos. 

• “Unbelieving” From the word, “ápistos (571)” unbelieving, 

incredulous, unchristian; sometimes subst: unbeliever. 

(from 1 /A “not” and 4103 /pistós, “faithful,” see 

there) – properly, not faithful because unpersuaded, i.e. 

not convinced (persuaded by God). 571 /ápistos (“faithless, 

unpersuaded”) does not always refer to the unconverted – 

see Jn 20:27. 571 (ápistos) describes someone who rejects 

or refuses God’s in birthings of faith (note the root, faith, 

4102 /pístis). 

“Fire” From the word, “pur (4442)” fire; the heat of the sun, 

48

CHAPTER 2 

lightning; fig: strife, trials; the eternal fire. pýr – fire. In 

Scripture, fire is often used figuratively – like with the “fire 

of God” which transforms all it touches into light and likeness 

with itself God’s Spirit, like a holy fire, enlightens and purifies 

so that believers can share more and more in His likeness. 

Indeed the fire of God brings the uninterrupted privilege of being 

transformed which happens by experiencing faith from Him. 

Our lives can become true offerings to Him as we obey this 

imparted faith from God by His power. 

[This is illustrated by God’s fire burning continuously at the 

entrance of the Tabernacle where the priests made sweetsavor 

offerings. Compare Leviticus 6:12,13 with 1 Peter 2:5,9.] 

11] Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: 

and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends 

of the world are come. 

“Admonition” From, “nouthesía (3559)” a warning, admonition, 

counsel. (a feminine noun derived from 3560 

/nouthetéō) – properly, setting (placing) the mind through Godinspired 

warning (“admonition”). 3559 /nouthesía (“warning 

through teaching”) improves a person’s reasoning so they can 

reach God’s solution – i.e. by going through His thoughtprocess. 

See 3560 (nouthetéō). 

[Romans 12:1-3 likewise emphasizes the importance of 

receiving God’s thoughts in the renewed mind, through faith, 

to reach God’s solutions.] 

12] Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed 

lest he fall. 

13] There hath no temptation taken you but such as is 

common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to 

be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation 

also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. 

49

BOOK OF JUDE 

THE KEY: 

Hebrews 3 & 4 

“Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation…” (Hebrews 

3:7-13; cf. Psalms 95). 

The BRETHREN must beware of “an evil heart of unbelief, 

in departing from the living God.” 

Hebrews 3:12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of 

you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. 

Hebrews 4:1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left 

us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come 

short of it. 

Summary Warnings & Conclusion: 

“There is a sin unto death:” 

1 John 5:16-17 If any man see his brother sin a sin which 

is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for 

them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do 

not say that he shall pray for it. 17 All unrighteousness is sin: 

and there is a sin not unto death. 

• Sickness, weakness, and death: 

• Taking the Lord’s supper unworthily 1 Corinthians 11:29- 

30 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and 

drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s 

body. 30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among 

you, and many sleep. 

• Ananias and Sapphira (Acts 5:1-11). There Is Cleansing 

Available: 

• Israel: There was a laver in the Tabernacle. 

• Ephesians: Washing of the water by the Word (Ephesians 

5:26). 

• Christian’s “Bar of Soap” (1 John 1:9). 

50

CHAPTER 2 

A Final Lesson Forthcoming re: Israel: 

Israel: God’s Timepiece; Christ to take DAVID’s Throne; 

Israel to be trampled down by the Gentiles UNTIL the time of 

the Gentiles be fulfilled… God’s promise to Israel was NOT due 

to Israel’s faithfulness (cf. Ezekiel 36:21-23). 

• Versus “Kingdom Now”/“Dominion” Theology: Is the 

final apostasy becoming evident? Unbiblical heresy and 

the anti-Semitic foundation for the “Time of Jacob’s Trouble.” 

This is a covert movement, with closet leadership in 

both charismatic and fundamental camps. 

Homework for next time: Read Isaiah 14; Ezekiel 28 (The 

origin, career, and destiny of Satan), and Genesis 6 (“Sons 

of God and Daughters of Men”).

I saw some of your questions on the Discussion Board, I’ve 

been studying this subject for years. 

Apparently, demons are the souls or spirits of the Nephilim, 

they have the ability to know things that we don’t know, the 

future to a certain extent, mind reading, etc., these are also 

the abilities that some of the Nephilim had. 

The alien grays are basically “meat suits” used by entities 

to put on as a solid material to inhabit and to do their evil 

deeds dealing with alien abductions and insertions of eggs 

in human females. After the women are impregnated the 

“fetus” is removed after 3 months and reinserted into another 

type of carrier, the blood and tissue of a Bovin is used in 

these hybrids. Because cow blood and human blood can be 

used interchangeably, they obviously have more advanced 

technology than humans. Job 38:4-7 tells us that these beings 

52

CHAPTER 3 

were here at the creation of the earth. Before Adam and Eve 

were created. 

Angels can have sex with women, that’s why the hybrids 

(Nephilim) 

The KEY: 

Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the 

woman, and between thy seed (the nakash=the shining one) 

and her seed (the coming of the Messiah); it shall bruise thy 

head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. 

How To War For Your Loved Ones: 

Matthew 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until 

now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent 

take it by force. 

Isaiah 49:25 But thus saith the Lord, Even the captives of 

the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible 

shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth 

with thee, and I will save thy children. 

Job 22:28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be 

established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways. 

Ezekiel 22:30 And I sought for a man among them, that 

should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for 

the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none. 

Job was standing in the gap for his family 

John 20:23 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted 

unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained. 

Satan even knows

his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast 

blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased 

in the land.

coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints. 

Matthew 16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the 

kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth

1 And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied 

that in those days were born unto 2 them beautiful and 

comely daughters. And the angels, the children of the heaven, 

saw and lusted after them, and said to one another: ‘Come, 

let us choose us wives from among the children of men 3 and 

beget us children.’ And Semjaza, who was their leader, said 

unto them: ‘I fear ye will not 4 indeed agree to do this deed, 

and I alone shall have to pay the penalty of a great sin.’ And 

they all answered him and said: ‘Let us all swear an oath, and 

all bind ourselves by mutual imprecations 5 not to abandon 

this plan but to do this thing.’ Then sware they all together and 

54

CHAPTER 3 

bound themselves 6 by mutual imprecations upon it. And they 

were in all two hundred; who descended in the days of Jared 

on the summit of Mount Hermon, and they called it Mount 

Hermon, because they had sworn 7 and bound themselves by 

mutual imprecations upon it. And these are the names of their 

leaders: Samlazaz, their leader, Araklba, Rameel, Kokablel, 

Tamlel, Ramlel, Danel, Ezeqeel, Baraqijal, 8 Asael, Armaros, 

Batarel, Ananel, Zaqiel, Samsapeel, Satarel, Turel, Jomjael, 

Sariel. These are their chiefs of tens. 

[Chapter 7] 

1 And all the others together with them took unto themselves 

wives, and each chose for himself one, and they began to go in 

unto them and to defile themselves with them, and they taught 

them charms 2 and enchantments, and the cutting of roots, 

and made them acquainted with plants. And they 3 became 

pregnant, and they bare great giants,

clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but 

they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed

Overview: 

Verses 5,6,7 Three historical examples of “Corporate Punishment.” 

• Three groups are singled out by Jude to teach us some 

things 

• Verse 5 deals with the Nation of Israel in the Wilderness 

• Verse 6 deals with a Strange Series of Events 

• Verse 7 deals with Sodom & Gomorrah which is more 

familiar with us and less controversial 

55

BOOK OF JUDE 

God judged broad civilizations for his reasons 

- What lesson does the Holy Spirit desire to convey to the 

believer? 

- Verse 6 has caused all kinds of strange controversies, so 

what we would like to do is 

examine verse 6 and figure out when did this take place and 

what lessons are there for us? 

• The second of three historical examples of corporate 

punishment. What lessons does the Holy Spirit desire to 

convey to the saved? 

6] And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left 

their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains 

under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. 

• Proverbs 18:13 He that answereth a matter before he 

heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him. (To answer 

before listening— that is folly and shame.) 

- And if you’re the average Bible student you come to this 

reading and say, “What on earth is that all about?” Because 

Jude gives us this as if we remember this. But before I venture 

into this with Dr. Missler, I would like to add some new 

findings to complement his teachings.

2 Corinthians 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is 

transformed into an angel of light. 

… the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their 

own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under 

darkness unto the judgment of the great day. …” 

• These angels obviously could interact back and forth 

between Heaven and Earth to accomplish whatever they 

were assigned to do. 

• Manoah, the father of Samson saw an angelic being and 

he didn’t realize that he had been speaking to one until it 

manifested supernatural abilities. 

Judges 13:16 And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, 

Though thou detain me, I will not eat of thy bread: and if thou 

wilt offer a burnt offering, thou must offer it unto the LORD. 

For Manoah knew not that he was an angel of the LORD. 

The Angel Ascends In The Fire: 

Judges 13:19 So Manoah took a kid with a meat offering, 

and offered it upon a rock unto the LORD: and the angel did 

wondrously; and Manoah and his wife looked on. 

• “Wondrously” From, “pala (6381)” meaning, to be sur- 

57

BOOK OF JUDE 

passing or extraordinary. To do a hard or difficult thing: 

Judges 13:20 For it came to pass, when the flame went up 

toward heaven from off the altar, that the angel of the LORD 

ascended in the flame of the altar. And Manoah and his wife 

looked on it, and fell on their faces to the ground. 

“Flame” From “lahab (3851)” meaning, flame, blade. From 

an usused root meaning to gleam; a flash; figuratively, a 

sharply polished blade or point of a weapon — blade, bright, 

flame, glittering. 

• To call the word of God a lie, is blasphemy, many claim 

that angels cannot have sex by twisting a quote Jesus made 

concerning the angels in heaven neither marry or are given 

in marriage, He did not say that they are sexless. The 

scripture from the very beginning asserts that they have 

that ability. 

Isaiah 9:2 The people that walked in darkness have seen a 

great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, 

upon them hath the light shined. 

• “Light” From “Or (216)” meaning, a light. From “‘owr 

(215)” meaning (1), illumines (1), kindle (1), light (5), lit 

(2), make a fire … 

• So, we see that angels can interchange back and forth from 

seemingly human forms to becoming what they truly are, 

light beings. 

Genesis 6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men 

that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they 

58

CHAPTER 3 

chose. 

• “They took them wives” of whom? “ of the daughters of 

men.” 

• “They” from this statement are obviously not of the seed of 

Mankind then. Reminding us of what God said in Genesis 

3:15. Either you believe that statement or you don’t but do 

not twist scripture to fit your paradigm. 

• This was not of the seed of Seth; this “they” seed created a 

different species of entities that had never existed before 

while the Sethites were making children. Remember, all 

of the Sethites died in the flood. 

Daniel 2:43 even speaks of “they” … they shall mingle themselves 

with the seed of men … 

• There is another passage that may be good to put into our 

minds. 

2 Peter 2:4-5 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, 

but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of 

darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 

5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth 

person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon 

the world of the ungodly; 

“And” From “kai (2532)” meaning, and, even, also, namely. 

(the most common New Testament conjunction, used over 

9,000 times) – and (also), very often, moreover, even, indeed 

(the context determines the exact sense). 

[After 2532 (kaí), the most common word in the Greek New 

Testament is the definite article (“the”). 2532 (kaí) is never 

59

BOOK OF JUDE 

adversative, i.e., it never means “however” (“but”) – unlike 

the principal conjunction (waw) in Old Testament Hebrew (G. 

Archer).] 

The Usage of “And”in This Case: 

Matthew 1:2 begat Judas and his brethren; Matthew 1:3 begat 

Phares and Zara of; Matthew 1:23 shall be with child, and shall 

bring forth; … a son, and they shall call; Matthew 2:4 the chief 

priests and scribes; etc. 

• So, the word, “and” ties these scriptures together as one 

in explaining why the angels were cast down to Tartarus. 

By way of saying, “And spared not the old world,” 

Why Was the Old World Not Spared? 

• The Human Genome, the human D.N.A. had become corrupted. 

• A genome is the genetic material that makes up a living 

organism. It is contained in chromosomes, which are the 

tiny threadlike structures inside cells. Chromosomes are 

made from a chemical substance called DNA, and DNA is 

a sequence of smaller units, called bases. The DNA bases 

combine to form genes. 

Only Noah, his wife, his three sons, and his three daughtersin-laws 

were of pure blood. 

• Personal note (TWH) “Hell” here is used differently from 

where the ground opened up and swallowed Korah and his 

crew. Here “hell” is Tartarus, a deeper darker place, and 

it is the only time that it is used in scripture. 

60

CHAPTER 3 

• Strong’s Greek 5020 Only 1 Occurrence (ταρταρώσας) 

tartaroó: to cast into hell 

Definition: to cast into hell 

Usage: I thrust down to Tartarus or Gehenna. 

• In Homers Illiad, he calls it the “Prison of the Titans” and 

he states, “Tartaros as the great cosmic pit beneath the 

earth. It is located “as far beneath the house of Haides as 

from earth the sky lies.” 

(See: https://www.theoi.com/Kosmos/Tartaros.html) 

- The word in the Greek, carried that kind of idea. 

· “Hell” From the word, “tartaroó (5020)”, properly, send to 

Tartarus (“Tartaros”). The New Testament uses 5020 (tartaróō) 

for the netherworld – the place of punishment fit only for 

demons (I insert what the scripture states…fallen angels or 

the angels that sinned). 

Later, Tartaros came to represent eternal punishment for 

wicked people. 

“5020 (tartaróō) is a Greek name for the under-world, especially 

the abode of the damned – hence to cast into hell” (A-S); 

to send into the subterranean abyss reserved for demons and 

the dead. 

[In Greek mythology, Tartarus was a “place of punishment 

under the earth, to which, for example, the Titans were sent” 

(Souter).] 

“Chains” From, “seira (4577)” meaning, a chain. To fasten, 

bind together. 

• Personal note (TWH) these beings were being “dragged” 

61

BOOK OF JUDE 

from the word, “suró (4951)” - This is not the same 

binding of Matthew 18:18 Whatsoever ye shall bind on 

earth shall be bound in heaven …“deó (1210)” to tie, bind. I 

bind, tie, fasten; I impel, compel; I declare to be prohibited 

and unlawful.) 

John 21:8 And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they 

were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) 

dragging the net with fishes. 

• “Dragging” From, “suró (4951)” I draw, drag, force away. 

- This same word is used in the Book of Acts concerning Saul 

and the Church. 

Acts 8:3 As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering 

into {5734} every house, and haling men and women committed 

them to prison. 

• “Haling” From, “suró (4951)” I draw, drag, force away. 

Acts 14:19 And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch 

and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and, having stoned 

Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing he had been dead. 

Now, Paul who used to be Saul, is experiencing the same 

thing that he did to the Church according 

Acts 8:3 As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering 

into every house, and haling men and women committed them 

to prison. 

• “Drew or haling” From, “suró (4951)” I draw, drag, force 

away. 

62

CHAPTER 3 

- It’s also used to describe Satan taking 1/3 of the angels a.k.a. 

stars with him. 

Revelation 12:4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of 

heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood 

{5758} before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for 

to devour her child as soon as it was born. 

• “Drew or haling” From, “suró (4951)” I draw, drag, force 

away. 

- So, we see that these angelic beings were dragged away in 

chains of darkness. 

“Of Darkness” From, “zóphos (2217) ” – murky, appalling 

gloom, referring to darkness so dense and foreboding it is 

“felt”; (figuratively) apocalyptic, gloomy darkness associated 

with the nether world bringing its indescribable despair (incredible 

gloom). 

• The testimony of many people who have died and went to 

hell confirms “that the darkness is so dense and foreboding 

it is “felt”. 

Jude 1:6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left 

their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains 

under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. 

2 Peter 2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned,

BOOK OF JUDE 

assisting believers in the pursuit of spiritual maturity and the 

production that comes through understanding God’s Word. 

This ministry exists “to prepare God’s people for works of 

service” in the vision God has assigned to them. 

Josephus concerning Giants “For many angels (11- This 

notion, that the fallen angels were, in some sense, the fathers 

of the old giants, was the constant opinion of antiquity.) of 

God accompanied with women, and begat sons that proved 

unjust, and despisers of all that was good, on account of the 

confidence they had in their own strength; for the tradition 

is, that these men did what resembled the acts of those whom 

the Grecians call giants.” 

“These kings had laid waste all Syria and overthrown the 

offspring of the giants. And when they were come over against 

Sodom. . .” 

“They told them also, that they found at Hebron the posterity 

of the giants. Accordingly, these spies, who had seen the 

land of Canaan, when they perceived that all these difficulties 

were greater there than they had met with since they came 

out of Egypt, they were affrighted at them themselves, and 

endeavored to affright the multitude also.” 

“For which reason they removed their camp to Hebron; and 

when they had taken it, they slew all the inhabitants. There 

were till then left the race of giants, who had bodies so large, 

and countenances so entirely different from other men, that 

they were surprising to the sight and terrible to the hearing. 

The bones of these men are still shown to this very day, unlike 

any credible relations of other men. Now they gave this city to 

the Levites as an extraordinary reward. . ” 

“A little afterward the king made war against the Philistines; 

and when he had joined battle with them, and put them to 

66

CHAPTER 3 

flight, he was left alone, as he was in pursuit of them; and when 

he was quite tired down, he was seen by one of the enemy, his 

name was Achmon, the son of Araph, he was one of the sons 

of the giants. He had a spear, the handle of which weighed 

three hundred shekels, a breastplate of chain-work, and a 

sword. He turned back and ran violently to slay [David] their 

enemy’s king, for he was quite tired out with labor; but Abishai, 

Joab’s brother, appeared on the sudden, and protected the 

king with his shield, as he lay down, and slew the enemy. Now 

the multitude was very uneasy at these dangers of the king, 

and that he was very near to be slain; and the rulers made 

him swear that he would no more go out with them to battle, 

lest he should come to some great misfortune by his courage 

and boldness, and thereby deprive the people of the benefits 

they now enjoyed by his means, and of those that they might 

hereafter enjoy by his living a long time among them. ” 

“When the king heard that the Philistines were gathered 

together at the city Gazara, he sent an army against them, 

when Sibbechai the Hittite, one of David’s most courageous 

men, behaved himself to deserve great commendation, for he 

slew many of those that bragged they were the posterity of 

the giants, and vaunted themselves highly on that account, 

and thereby was the occasion of victory to the Hebrews.” 

“They had a man who was six cubits tall and had on each 

of his feet and hands one more toe and finger than men 

naturally have. Now the person who was sent against them by 

David out of his army was Jonathan, the son of Shimea, who 

fought this man in single combat, and slew him; and as he 

was the person who gave the turn to the battle, he gained the 

greatest reputation for courage therein. This man also vaunted 

himself as be of the sons of the giants. But after this fight, the 

67

Philistines made war no more against the Israelites.”

GIANTS ON RECORD: AMERICA’S HIDDEN HISTORY

CHAPTER 3 

This book examines a possible cover-up initiated by Smithsonian 

scientists starting in the late 1800s. The origins of 

“the tall ones” have been shrouded in mystery for centuries, 

but this book reveals where they came from, why they got 

so large, and the reason for their downfall, using the latest 

scientific research, genetic data, native myths, news reports, 

and ethnological research. This has become one of the most 

gripping stories of the last few centuries and for the first time, 

the truth of the giants of North America has been revealed. This 

book also reveals:- How early explorers to America witnessed 

these giants first-hand, including Sir Francis Drake, John Smith, 

and even some of the early presidents.- Legends and myths 

that talk of cannibalistic, red-haired giants….. 

Giants In The Land And Og King Of Bashan, Had A Bed 13 

Feet Long: 

Deuteronomy 2:20 That also was accounted a land of giants: 

giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them 

Zamzummims; 

21 A people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but 

the LORD destroyed them before them; and they succeeded 

them, and dwelt in their stead: 

Deuteronomy 3:11For only Og king of Bashan remained of 

the remnant of giants; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead 

of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine 

cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, 

after the cubit of a man. 

Verse 11 Holman Christian Standard Bible Only Og king 

of Bashan was left of the remnant of the Rephaim. His bed 

was made of iron. Isn’t it in Rabbah of the Ammonites? It 

is 13 feet six inches long and six feet wide by a standard

all Bashan, [being] the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half

The Angels That Sinned: Three Views: 

• Personal inserted note (TWH) 

Matthew 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor 

are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. 

- This scripture does not say that the angels are sexless, or 

that they have no reproductive organs. 

- Secondly, in heaven we will be married to Christ. 

Revelation 19:7-9 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour 

to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath 

made herself ready. 8 And to her was granted that she should 

be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is 

the righteousness of saints. 9 And he saith unto me, Write, 

Blessed [are] they which are called unto the marriage supper 

of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings 

of God. 

Revelation 21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, 

coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride 

adorned for her husband. 

Isaiah 54:5 For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of 

hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; 

The God of the whole earth shall he be called. 

Ephesians 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious 

church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that 

it should be holy and without blemish. 

The Angels That Sinned: Three Views (continued): 

79

BOOK OF JUDE 

1) “The Cop Out View” is the excuse to not dig further. 

• We do not intend to know any more than what is in this 

brief statement. The problem with this view is that it 

stands between verses 5 and 7: all three verses draw upon 

the familiar Old Testament truths. 

The Two Alternative Views Are Uncomfortable For Most 

People: 

2) These Angels that sinned are angels that had to do with 

the fall of Lucifer who is a super angel. 

• A Cherub is not an angel, it is a very high special category 

- The term Angel is used in a very broad generic sense 

- But I think we generally wouldn’t be surprised if you could 

prove that the scripture also used the term Angel in the sense 

of a created being with some very, very substantial powers. 

- But there’s a particular Angel that causes us a lot of 

problems in the scriptures, and there are two passages that 

give us some understanding of who this creature is. 

(Isaiah 14:12-17; Ezekiel 28:12-19). These scriptures are 

multiples of seven. 

• Remember that the chapters and verses were added in 

the 15 th century. I love to see these ancient documents 

that people find the Acho volume and others, they quote 

scripture by chapter and verse that purport to be from the 

1st century. Well, this is kind of hard to explain, because 

chapters and verses didn’t come until later. 

• Both passages have a strange attribute, in both cases, the 

80

CHAPTER 3 

prophet is addressing a local real-life tangible king. In 

Isaiah’s case, he’s talking to and about the king of Babylon. 

But as he gets wrapped up in that subject a place in the 

discourse occurs where it is obvious that his actual target 

or subject goes far beyond a human personage. And what 

he is obviously doing is addressing the spiritual power 

behind the political king. 

• Because when we get to verse 12 in this passage without 

any real warning Isaiah is shifting gears and he is suddenly 

talking about something quite different. 

• And from verse 12 to verse 17 it is almost like an insert, 

what parenthesis in which the Holy Spirit is speaking 

through Isaiah addressing the power behind the king of 

Babylon. 

Isaiah 14:12-17 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, 

son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, 

which didst weaken the nations! 

• Lucifer, this is where we get his original title. 

• Personal inserted note (TWH) 

“Lucifer” From, “helel (1966)” meaning, a shining one. 

Strong’s Hebrew 1966 only 1 Occurrence 

Phonetic Spelling: (hay-lale’). From halal (in the sense of 

brightness); the morning star — lucifer. 

• “Halal” From, “halal (1984)”, meaning, to shine. Isaiah

crocodile רֺוא לֶהָּ֫ת ויָתֹׁשיִטֲע Job 41:10 his sneezings flash

praise, לֵּלַה id., Hallel (Psalm 113-118). 

A primitive root; to be clear (Orig. Of sound, but usually of 

color); to shine; hence, to make a show, to boast; and thus 

to be (clamorously) foolish; to rave; causatively, to celebrate; 

also to stultify — (make) boast (self), celebrate, commend, 

(deal, make), fool(- ish, -ly), glory, give (light), be (make, 

feign self) mad (against), give in marriage, (sing, be worthy 

of) praise, rage, renowned, shine.

Leviathan. Then who is able to stand against Me? 

• Kal-El (“Halal”), the “Kryptonian” name of Superman 

a.k.a. Clark Kent. In Kryptonian, “El” means “Child” and 

“Kal” means “star”. So, the name Kal-El means “Child of 

the Stars” or “Star Child” 

82

CHAPTER 3 




• Lucifer, a.k.a., helel is fallen from heaven, something 

occurred to put him in disgrace. 

• The source of his error is there are five “I will” statements. 

• Lucifer was the number one angelic being, he was in 

charge. 

13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I 

83

BOOK OF JUDE 

will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon 

the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 

14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like 

the most High. 

• The problem started in his heart, with him wanting to be 

worshiped. 

15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the 

pit. 

• Now this is a forecast. The prophet Isaiah is saying here, 

you Lucifer who fell through pride will be brought down. 

• This verse is yet future verse 16 

16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and 

consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth 

to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; 

• Jeremiah 4:23 “the earth, and, lo, it was without form, 

and void;” 

17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the 

cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners? 

• Jeremiah 4:23I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without 

form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. 24 

I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the 

hills moved lightly. 25 I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, 

and all the birds of the heavens were fled. 26 I beheld, and, 

lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities 

84

CHAPTER 3 

thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, 

and by his fierce anger. 

• “the world as a wilderness” 

Revelation 18:13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, 

and frankincense, and wine,and oil, and fineflour, and wheat, 

and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, 

and souls of men. 

Why The Souls Of Men and Why Are They Kept Prisoner 

And How? 

• “Souls of Men” Souls from, “psuché (5590)” breath, the 

soul. psyxḗ (from psyxō, “to breathe, blow” which is the 

root of the English words “psyche,” “psychology”) – soul 

(psyche); a person’s distinct identity (unique personhood), i.e., 

individual personality. 

5590 (psyxē) corresponds exactly to the Old Testament 5315 

/phágō (“soul”). The soul is the direct aftermath of God 

breathing (blowing) His gift of life into a person, making them 

an ensouled being. 

• I have listened to many testimonies over the years of Ex- 

Satanists, witches, warlocks, sorcerers, S.R.A. (Satanic 

Ritual Abuse) victims, and others who state, that the soul 

can be fragmented and taken to different prisons/places 

where they are held. Places such as hate, guilt, traumas, 

bitterness, unforgiveness, fear, even darker and more 

horrific places. 

• So, Satan and his emissaries fragment the human soul and 

take those parts to different prisons so that the person 

85

BOOK OF JUDE 

cannot develop their full personality. They now have a 

print on their life and now they take on a false personality, 

they also take on the personality of the demons inhabiting 

that individual. And in turn, these fragmented personality 

soul parts never have the chance to be what the Lord 

initially intended for that person to be, they never develop 

unless that person is born-again and restored. 

• Once you give your life to Jesus, they state that you have 

to go through deliverance and healing for the restoration 

of your soul. 

Chuck Missler’s wife Nancy Missler explains this in such a 

beautiful way. 

Reflections of His Image Where Does Self-Life Come From? 

Nans Corner: 

by Nancy Missler • October 1, 2007 

https://www.khouse.org/articles/2007/739/ 

• Scripture tells us that when we became “born again,” we 

not only received a new spirit and a new heart but also a 

new willpower. But our soul and body are not changed, 

not renewed, and not regenerated. In other words, they 

remain the same. So, “self-life” comes from the hurts, 

the resentments, the doubts, the pride, the bitterness, and 

all the other things that we have never properly dealt with, 

but have simply stuffed and buried in our secret, hidden 

chambers which are still a part of our soul. 

• “Self-life” is triggered when we choose to follow what this 

buried debris is telling us to do over what God is prompting 

us to do. Everything we think, say and do (good and bad) 

is stored in these secret, hidden chambers deep within us. 

86

CHAPTER 3 

God designed the sanctification process to teach us how to 

recognize this “self-life,” how to deal with it, and then, 

how to allow God’s Life from our hearts to come forth. 

Sanctification is simply the process of restoring the image 

of Christ in us (Romans 8:29). Many of us, however, have 

never learned the cleansing steps needed to be sanctified 

and, instead, have just pushed down and buried much of 

our pain. Thus, we have given the enemy many footholds 

in our soul. 

87

BOOK OF JUDE 

• Our bodies are the “vehicles” (or the carriers) for the 

expression of God’s Life. In other words, we need a soul in 

order to express life and we need a body in order to carry 

that soul. Thus, our souls and our bodies really cannot be 

88

CHAPTER 3 

separated. Together they are known as “the flesh.” 

• Therefore, we can be Christians all of our lives, yet because 

we continue to make fleshly choices (emotional choices to 

follow our hurts and pain), no one will ever see Christ’s 

Life in us. His Life will be quenched in our hearts, and no 

one will ever see the difference between our lives and our 

neighbors down the street who don’t even know the Lord. 

• This is exactly what a “hypocrite” looks like. This is 

a Christian who “says” all the right things but whose 

“actions” don’t match his words. He says he is a Christian, 

and yet his life shows something totally different. He says 

that Jesus is the answer, but his life doesn’t prove it. This 

is one of the reasons why the Christian body is having 

such a difficult time these days. Many of us have become 

hypocrites living two lives. Jesus’ Life is in our hearts, but 

self-life is what is shown from our souls. 

89

BOOK OF JUDE 

• This is what John 7:38 is referring to when it says, “He 

that believeth on Me, as the Scripture hath said, out of his 

belly shall flow rivers of living water.” Unfortunately, this 

outflowing is not a one-time event. It’s a moment-by- 

90

CHAPTER 3 

moment choice to be filled with His Spirit and to let it flow 

outward. Ephesians 5:17-18 expresses it this way: “Be ye 

not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord 

is…be filled with the Spirit [all day long, every day].”…

• These are the Watchers taking the souls and seeds of 

people. 

• Karin Wilkinson was recently featured in LA Marzulli’s 

latest film “The Coming UFO Invasion”: Exposing the 

Dragon’s Dark Secrets: Karin is a saved believer in Christ 

and has had the experience of being abducted multiple 

times since childhood. She is a wife, mother, and 

grandmother who worked in the tech industry for many 

years before retiring to raise her family. Today she has 

graciously agreed to appear on “Bible Mysteries” to 

discuss with us her encounters with extraterrestrial beings 

and what she believes their agenda might be. 

• I have been abducted since as early as I can remember, 

92

CHAPTER 3 

and hundreds of times. I have experienced sleep paralysis, 

traveling through windows and walls, etc. When I call on 

the name of Jesus, the abductions stop. When I was not 

born again, or fallen away, the abductions continued. 

• It is a very isolating life. It’s not a club you want to be in, 

and there really is no place for people to go to share, to 

learn how to stop it, or to just feel accepted. 

• I do not subscribe to the ancient alien theory. We were 

not seeded by “these elder races.” We are the creation of 

the one and only Yahweh. These are not benevolent space 

brothers; these are demonic entities. 

• I was part of a breeding program I was taken aboard ships 

and to underground facilities. I saw both humans and nonhuman 

entities during my abduction experiences (Greys, 

tall blondes, insect-looking creatures, and a lizardy one, 

for example) 

• I have had a near-death experience. I have had an angelic 

encounter. I have seen UAP/UFOs. I am Rh-negative O 

blood type and have green eyes. My family were Masons, 

and I was inducted into the “Rainbow Girls” in my teens. 

There is a lot of suspicious family history – but that is a 

conversation for another day. 

• I have suffered emotional and physical ailments and have 

had surgeries due to the things these evil entities did to 

me. A hysterectomy, removal of tumors, and eight spinal 

reconstruction surgeries, to name a few. 

UFO Abductions Compared to Scripture: 

UFO Abductions have all of the characteristics recorded in 

scripture; 

93

BOOK OF JUDE 

1. The actual abductions have the same characteristics as 

Luke 4:5 

Luke 4:5 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, 

shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment 

of time.

The abductees are physically taken from their home, car or

inside of their homes through a window onto a craft. 

1. The entities match the description of Revelation 16:13 

94

CHAPTER 3 

Revelation 16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs 

come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of 

the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 

“Three Unclean Spirits Like Frogs” 

https://www.shutterstock.com/video/clip-4177771-aliens 

• “Unclean” From the word, “akathartos (169)” unclean, 

impure. (an adjective, derived from 1 /A “not” and 2513 

/katharós, “clean, purged”) – properly, not pure (because 

mixed), i.e. adulterated with “a wrong mix” and hence 

“unclean” (because tainted by sin). The antonym, 2508 

/kathaírō (“clean”), means “free from the wrong mixture” 

(unadulterated, unmixed). These beings are basically 

“hybrids” of frogs and human D.N.A. 

• “Like” From the word, “homoios (3664)” like, resembling, 

the same as. like, similar to, resembling, of equal 

rank. 

From the base of homou; similar (in appearance or character) 

— like, + manner. 

Why Are They Doing This? 

Revelation 16:14 Young’s Literal Translation for they are 

spirits of demons, doing signs which go forth unto the kings 

of the earth, and of the whole world, to bring them together to 

the battle of that great day of God the Almighty;— 

• Satan is creating an army of humans (witches, warlocks, 

Satanists, sorcerers, etc., as well as hybrid beings to gather 

them together to prepare them for the great Armageddon 

War. 

95

BOOK OF JUDE 

But How Is He Going To Gather Them All To That One Spot? 

Revelation 17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the 

wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured 

beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten 

horns.. … 12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, 

which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as 

kings one hour with the beast. 13 These have one mind, and 

shall give their power and strength unto the beast. 

• “One Mind” From the word, “gnómé (1106)” to come to 

know, recognize, perceive. 

A prolonged form of a primary verb; to “know” (absolutely) 

in a great variety of applications and with many implications (as 

follow, with others not thus clearly expressed) — allow, be 

aware (of), feel, (have) know(-ledge), perceived, be resolved, 

can speak, be sure, understand. 

• I’m certain that cell phones, remote viewing, other means 

of communication, and extra-sensory perception, such 

as telepathy, etc., are being used here. Many uninformed 

Christians are blinded to this fact and don’t even believe in 

such a demonic phenomenon, but it is going on all around 

them, and they have no knowledge of it. 

• It seems to be worldwide, and because born-again Christians

• “Knowledge” From the word, “death (1847)” concern, 

know, knowledge, premeditation, skill, truth, unintentionally*, 

what. Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the 

words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many 

shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. 

• Many Christians have no answer for the question, “What 

are these aliens and where do they come from?” They 

will tell you, “Shouldn’t we be telling them about Jesus?” 

My response is yes, but be prepared to answer in every 

area, or they will think that you are not very smart in other 

matters and will not seek you out for answers. We need 

to be a source of answers for them or else there will be 

an unanswered bias directed towards the Bible, proving 

in their minds that the Bible has no relevant answers for 

today’s society concerning this subject. 

Matthew 10:16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst 

of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as 

doves. 

“Wise” From, “phrónimos (5429)” (an adjective, derived 

from 5424 /phrḗ n, “personal perspective regulating outward 

behavior,” and the root of the English term “diaphragm” 

which controls key body functions from the inside out) – 

properly, “how we size things up,” reflecting our personal 

(“visceral”) opinions, i.e. what we consider “savvy” (smart). 

This is always rooted to our personal perspective (“inner outlook”) 

which regulates our definition of being “shrewd,” i.e., 

reflects personal mind-set (insight).

of prophetic knowledge, especially knowledge with moral 

quality, knowledge possessed by God,

Look the word “Yada” up, it is really revealing. From yada’;

• The Occultists and the false teachers who are embedded 

within the Churches (unbeknown to many Christians) 

are spoon-feeding many with dead, lifeless theology to 

continue to push their own agenda of … wait for it …The 

Theory of Evolution! 

• If the supernatural occurrences that are recorded in the 

Biblical teaching were accepted then the theory of Evolution 

and many other theories would be debunked, and 

many more souls would come into the kingdom of God. 

Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you 

in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.16 

Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of

• The Roman Catholic Church and her teachings have infiltrated 

most of so-called Christian Churches today.

• The princes of these kingdoms, and their subjects, become, 

in time, of one religion, and one mind. 

Ephesians 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, 

tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, 

by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they 

lie in wait to deceive; 

• I do believe that the Remnant Church is maturing, and 

immaturity is falling off at a phenomenal rate. But many 

who claim to be Christians and deny the clear teaching of 

scripture and simply swallow everything that their pastors 

are feeding them without searching the scriptures for 

themselves are at war with the word of God and Spirit 

of God. 

• They are more concerned with how they feel rather than 

facts concerning clear Bible teachings. 

Daniel 11:32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant 

shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their 

God shall be strong, and do exploits. 

• These are believers who spend time in deep prayer in 

communion with the Lord and Bible Study. They will be 

strengthened in their faith and the scriptures will be life 

to them and their faith will be empowered by Holy Spirit.

Human Trafficking; Lucifer, the Whore, and the Beast 

Monday, July 29, 2013 

http://musingsofawinsomeheart.blogspot.com/2013/07/h 

uman-trafficking-lucifer-whore-and.html 

When we look at chapter 28 of Ezekiel we see the parallel of 

satan to the king of Tyre. The king of Tyre is probably a veiled 

look at satan, and the first and second half of the chapter are 

very much the same. While the king of Tyre may have been a 

person influenced by satan, both the king and satan claim to 

be God, both are killed and thrown to hell and both trafficked 

God’s people. 

Ezekiel 28:5 By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick [7404] 

hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up 

because of thy riches:KJV 

Ezekiel 28:16 By the multitude of thy merchandise [7404] 

they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou 

hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the 

mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, 

from the midst of the stones of fire.KJV 

Ezekiel 28:18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the 

multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick 

[7404]; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of 

thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon 

the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.KJV 

Using human beings for profit is truly our world system. 

Slavery, migrant workers, sexual prostitution, child workers, 

corporate suits, blue collar, white collar, almost everyone 

is enslaved. But this does not happen in commerce only, 

108

CHAPTER 4 

but also in churches. Lucifer’s sanctuaries were defiled by 

trafficking. There are a small number of oppressors, but they 

have designed the world system to serve themselves. While 

satan did that to the sons of God and it sped up his downward 

spiral to want to be God and sit in the place of God, people 

do this to humans today, and also sit it the place of God, 

lording over the masses. While the creator did not create us 

to be enslaved to overlords, we are in fact slaves in this world. 

Another comparison from Ezekiel 27 of the king of Tyre and 

satan, is in the root word of merchandising. … 

Ezekiel 27:1-3 The word of the Lord came again unto me, 

saying,2 Now, thou son of man, take up a lamentation for 

Tyrus;3 And say unto Tyrus, O thou that art situate at the entry 

of the sea, which art a merchant [7402] of the people for many 

isles, Thus saith the Lord God; O Tyrus, thou hast said, I am of 

perfect beauty.KJV 

Old Testament:7402 rakal (raw-kal’); a primitive root; 

to travel for trading: KJV - (spice) merchant.(Biblesoft’s 

New Exhaustive Strong’s Numbers and Concordance with 

Expanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary. Copyright © 1994, 2003, 

2006 Biblesoft, Inc. and International Bible Translators, Inc.) 

I find it interesting that merchandising, or trafficking, 

whether spices, foods, or people, makes one believe they are 

perfectly beautiful. Their power is deceiving, as well as the 

material adornment. This world system will be done away with 

in the future. 

Revelation 18:12-13 The merchandise of gold, and silver, 

and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, 

and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner 

vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, 

and of brass, and iron, and marble,13 And cinnamon, and 

109

BOOK OF JUDE 

odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, 

and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, 

and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.KJV 

As we read from Revelation, the selling of slaves and the 

souls of men are counted among Babylon’s merchandise. Not 

only are people being physically sold, just like the Israelites 

were, people were selling themselves. This tells us that Babylon 

is seducing people into selling their souls, not just simply 

enslaving non willing participants, but deceiving people into 

giving away their own soul to the devil. No one can take the 

soul out of a person. No one can dissect it in a laboratory. Only 

the word of God can divide soul and spirit. (Heb 4:12) While 

the devil cannot have one’s spirit, the devil can be given one’s 

soul/life. This is a conscious choice. Therefore the lure of 

riches and beauty sway people to give their souls to the devil, 

for gain on earth. Yet that is such a temporal thing. 

15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast 

created, till iniquity was found in thee. 

16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the 

midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I 

will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will 

destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones 

of fire. 

17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast 

corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast 

thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may 

behold thee. 

18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of 

thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I 

bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, 

and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all 

110

CHAPTER 4 

them that behold thee. 

19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished 

at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be 

any more.

CHAPTER 4 

The Book of Enoch - tr. by R.H. Charles [1917] 

https://sacred-texts.com/bib/boe/index.htm 

• Genesis 6 indicates that the “sons of God” (B’nai Elohim) 

took wives of the “daughters of men,” which gave birth to 

the “Nephilim.” What on earth was going on? 

• The B’nai Elohim is a term that refers to angels. It 

occurs four times in the Old Testament and is rendered 

“Angels of God” in the ancient Septuagint translation. The 

intrusion of certain angels into the human family resulted 

in unnatural offspring termed Nephilim, which derives 

from the Hebrew naphal (to fall), or the Fallen Ones. 

• (The Greek Septuagint renders this term gigantes, which 

actually means “earthborn.” This is often misunderstood 

to mean “giants” — which they also happen to have been, 

incidentally.) 

• The “Line of Seth?” The early church viewed the B’nai Elohim 

as angels up through the late fourth century: Justin, 

Athenagoras, Cyprian, Eusebius, et al. (also Josephus, 

Philo, Judeaus, and the Apocrypha regard this traditional 

view). Celsus and Julian the Apostate exploited the older 

common belief to attack Christianity. Cyril of Alexandria, 

in his reply, repudiated the orthodox position. Julius 

Africanus (a contemporary of Origen) introduced the 

theory that the “sons of God” simply referred to the genealogical 

line of Seth, which was committed to preserving 

the true worship of God. Seemingly more appealing, the 

“Sethite theory” prevailed into the Medieval Church, and 

many still hold this view. This view, however, has several 

serious problems. There is no indication that the Sethites 

were distinguished for piety; they were not exempted 

121

BOOK OF JUDE 

from the charge of general wickedness which brought 

on the flood. In fact, Seth’s son Enosh was the one who 

introduced apostasy to that world. This is masked by a 

mistranslation of Genesis 4:25, which should read “…then 

men began to profane the name of the Lord.” Furthermore, 

when the faithful marry the unfaithful, they do not give 

birth to unnatural offspring! And the “daughters of men” 

were not differentiated with regard to the Flood. All were 

lost. 

• (Incidentally, the Nephilim didn’t completely end with 

the flood. Genesis 6:4 mentions, “…and also after that….” 

We find the sons of Anak, the Anakim, later in the Old 

Testament.) Anakim. 

• The bedstead of one of them was 13 feet long (Deuteronomy 

3:11). Compared to them the men of Israel were “as 

grasshoppers.” (Numbers 13:3; Amos 2:9). 

[Why does Israel refer to their second appearance as Nephilim 

(fallen ones)?] Goliath and his four brothers were sons of Anak. 




2 Peter 2:5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the 

eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the 

flood upon the world of the ungodly; 

• Tartarus = A pit of darkness in the unseen world; Greek 

term for dark abode of woe. Homer’s Iliad: “as far below 

Hades as the earth is below heaven…” 

• “And” From “kai (2532)” meaning, and, even, also, 

namely. (the most common New Testament conjunction, 

122

CHAPTER 4 

used over 9,000 times) – and (also), very often, moreover, 

even, indeed (the context determines the exact sense). 

[After 2532 (kaí), the most common word in the Greek New 

Testament is the definite article (“the”). 2532 (kaí) is never 

adversative, i.e., it never means “however” (“but”) – unlike 

the principal conjunction (waw) in Old Testament Hebrew (G. 

Archer).] 

The Usage of “And” in This Case: 

Matthew 1:2 begat Judas and his brethren; Matthew 1:3 begat 

Phares and Zara of; Matthew 1:23 shall be with child, and shall 

bring forth; … a son and they shall call; Matthew 2:4 the chief 

priests and scribes; etc. 

• So, the word, “and” ties these scriptures together as one 

in explaining why the angels were cast down to Tartarus. 

By way of saying, “And spared not the old world” 

Why Was the Old World Not Spared? 

• The Human Genome, the human D.N.A. had become corrupted. 

• A genome is the genetic material that makes up a living 

organism. It is contained in chromosomes, which are the 

tiny threadlike structures inside cells. Chromosomes are 

made from a chemical substance called DNA, and DNA is 

a sequence of smaller units, called bases. The DNA bases 

combine to form genes. 

Only Noah, his wife, his three sons, and his three daughtersin-law 

were of pure blood.

BOOK OF JUDE 

• In Homers Illiad, he calls it the “Prison of the Titans” and 

he states, “Tartaros as the great cosmic pit beneath the 

earth. It is located “as far beneath the house of Haides 

as from earth the sky lies.” (See: https://www.theoi.com/ 

Kosmos/Tartaros.html) 

- The word in Greek, carried that kind of idea.· “Hell” From 

the word, “tartaroó (5020)”, properly, send to Tartarus (“Tartaros”). 

The New Testament uses 5020 (tartaróō) for the netherworld 

– the place of punishment fit only for demons (I insert 

what the scripture states…fallen angels or the angels that 

sinned). Later, Tartaros came to represent eternal punishment 

for wicked people. 

“5020 (tartaróō) is a Greek name for the underworld, especially 

the abode of the damned – hence to cast into hell” (A-S); 

to send into the subterranean abyss reserved for demons and 

the dead. 

[In Greek mythology, Tartarus was a “place of punishment 

under the earth, to which, for example, the Titans were sent” 

(Souter).] 

- So, we see that these angelic beings were dragged away in 

chains of darkness. 

• “Of Darkness” From, “zóphos (2217) ” – murky, appalling 

gloom, referring to darkness so dense and foreboding 

it is “felt”; (figuratively) apocalyptic, gloomy darkness 

associated with the nether world bringing its indescribable 

despair (incredible gloom). 

- The testimony of many people who have died and went to 

hell confirms “that the darkness is so dense and foreboding it 

124

CHAPTER 4 

is “felt”. 

“Hell”, From, “tartaroó (5020)” meaning, to cast into hell. 

properly, send to Tartarus 

(“Tartaros”). The New Testament uses 5020 (tartaróō) for 

the netherworld – the place of punishment fit only for demons. 

Later, Tartaros came to represent eternal punishment for wicked 

people. 

“5020 (tartaróō) is a Greek name for the underworld, especially 

the abode of the damned – hence to cast them into hell” 

(A-S); to send into the subterranean abyss reserved for demons 

and the dead. 

• In Greek mythology, Tartarus was a “place of punishment 

under the earth, to which, for example, the Titans were 

sent” 

The language of Jude 7 seems to require the same view of Jude 

6: 

• “…strange flesh…” meaning, another of a different kind. 

“Strange” From, “héteros (2087)” – another of a different kind. 

2087 /héteros (“another but distinct in kind”) stands in contrast 

to 243 /állos (“another of the same kind”). 2087 

/héteros (“another of a different quality”) emphasizes it is 

qualitatively different from its counterpart (comparison). 

[2087 (héteros) sometimes refers to “another” of a different 

class group or type.] 

Nature of Angels: 

• There is a great deal of information about angels revealed 

125

BOOK OF JUDE 

in the Bible. 

• They can appear in human form (Genesis 19:5, 10, 16), they 

spoke as men, took men by the hand, and even ate men’s 

food (Genesis 18:8; 19:3, 16). 

• They are capable of direct physical combat (death of the 

firstborn in Exodus 12, Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis 

19, and the 185,000 troops slaughtered in 2 Kings 19:35), 

and some are the principal forces behind the world powers 

(Daniel 10). 

• Angels don’t marry, at least in heaven (Matthew 22:30), 

and are apparently capable of much mischief. 

Are Demons Angels? (Acts 23:9; Revelation 9:1, 2,10) 

• Not all are bound; not all are free. Demons tend to seek 

embodiment. 

• They are aware of their destiny (Luke 8:26). Two thousand 

swine were involved in Mark 5:1-20; Matthew 8:28-34. 

Why did they seek embodiment in a herd of swine? Why 

did the Lord acquiesce? Demons seem to be different from 

angels—if this is so, then where did the demons come 

from? 

Azazel: 

Trent (Blurry Creatures): His name was Azazel, he showed 

me his beginnings and how his origins began and everything, 

so he said that his job was to teach mankind how to do warfare. 

And then he said he’s been bound for the whole time. These 

are the fallen angels that have been imprisoned underground. 

… 

Leviticus 16:8 And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; 

126

CHAPTER 4 

one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat ( 

Azazel).… 10 But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the 

scapegoat, shall be presented alive before the LORD, to make 

an atonement with him, [and] to let him go for a scapegoat 

(Azazel) into the wilderness. 

“Scapegoat” From “azazel (5799)” meaning, entire removal. 

From ez and ‘azal; goat of departure; the scapegoat — 

scapegoat.

Jude Session 3 (Verse 6 Continued) - Chuck Missler 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPTBk12dlCI&t=655s 

Overview: 

• Verses 5, 6, 7 Three historical examples of corporate 

punishment. 

• Verse 5 deals with the Nation of Israel in the Wilderness 

• Verse 7 deals with Sodom and Gomorrah 

• Verse 6 -When did this take place? 

- What lessons does the Holy Spirit desire to convey to the 

127

BOOK OF JUDE 

believer? 

Jude 1:6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, 

but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting 

chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. 

• And if you are the average Bible student you will say what is 

that all about? Because Jude gives it the back of his hands 

as though you remember this of course. 

- There is another comparable passage in Second Peter. 




• Peter also makes an allusion the same as Jude, to an event 

that the writers in each case presumed that you know. 

The Angels That Sinned: Three Views: 

1) “The Cop Out View” is the excuse to not dig further. 

• We are not intended to know any more than what is in 

this brief statement. The problem with this view is that it 

stands between verses 5 and 7: all three verses draw upon 

the familiar Old Testament truths. 

The Two Alternative Views Are Uncomfortable For Most 

People: 

2) These Angels that sinned are angels that had to do with 

the fall of Lucifer who is a super angel. 

• A Cherub is not an angel, it is a very high special category 

128

CHAPTER 4 

- The term Angel is used in a very broad generic sense 

- But I think we generally wouldn’t be surprised if you could 

prove that the scripture also used the term Angel in the sense 

of a created being with some very, very substantial powers. 

- But there’s a particular Angel that causes us a lot of 

attention in the scriptures, and there are two passages that 

give us some understanding of who this creature is. 

(Isaiah 14:12-17; Ezekiel 28:12-19). These scriptures are 

multiples of seven. 

• Remember that the chapters and verses were added in 

the 15 th century. I love to see these ancient documents 

that people find the Acho volume and others, they quote 

scripture by chapter and verse that purport to be in the 

1st century. Well, this is kind of hard to explain, because 

chapters and verses didn’t come until later. 

• Both passages have a strange attribute, in both cases, the 

prophet is addressing a local real-life tangible king. In 

Isaiah’s case, he’s talking to and about the king of Babylon. 

But as he gets wrapped up in that subject a place in the 

discourse occurs where it is obvious that his actual target 

or subject goes far beyond a human personage. And what 

he is obviously doing is addressing the spiritual power 

behind the political king. 

• Because when we get to verse 12 in this passage without 

any real warning Isaiah is shifting gears and he is suddenly 

talking about something quite different. 

• And from verse 12 to verse 17 it is almost like an insert, 

what parenthesis in which the Holy Spirit is speaking 

through Isaiah addressing the power behind the king of 

Babylon. 

129

BOOK OF JUDE 




• Lucifer, this is where we get his original title. 

- But he fell, he’s fallen from heaven, and something occurred 

to put him in disgrace, but then we get into verse 13 and 14 

and we find the source of this error there are five “I will” 

statements. 

- This Lucifer was the number one angel, we’ll find that in 

another passage, he was in charge anyway verse 13. 

Isaiah 14:13-14 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will 

ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of 

God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the 

sides of the north: 14 I will ascend above the heights of the 

clouds; I will be like the most High. 

• That’s Satan’s ambition to be worshipped, you get the 

message very powerful but still not #1. And he aspired 

apparently in some strange time, in some strange way a 

rebellion which we’ll look at shortly. 

Isaiah 14:15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides 

of the pit. 

• Now, this is forecast Isaiah is saying here, “You Lucifer 

who failed through pride shall be brought down. From 16 

is an interesting one this is yet future. 

Isaiah 14:16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, 

130

CHAPTER 4 

and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth 

to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; 17 That made the world 

as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened 

not the house of his prisoners? 

• Now as you could probably guess behind each phrase there 

are acres of theological commentary of what that might 

mean. 

Origin and Fall of Lucifer: 

• There are those who believe that this whole event occurred 

sometime between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2. 

- Possibility of enormous interval. There is linguistic reasons 

to recognize that an enormous interval of time may have 

transpired between verse 1:1 and 1:2 this is called the Gap 

Theory. 

- And the earth was = (became) without form, and void; and 

darkness was upon the face of the deep. 

And the verb (was) here in the Hebrew is a transitive verb 

implying action, and that the earth wasn’t originally but 

became without form and void. And this gets intensified 

because of Isaiah 45:18, 

Isaiah 45:18For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; 

God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath 

established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be 

inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else. 

• Another translation says that God did not create it to be 

empty, (tohuw = formless) (bohuw = void) but formed it 

131

BOOK OF JUDE 

to be inhabited. 

Isaiah 45:18 Berean Study Bible 

For thus says the LORD, who created the heavens— He is 

God; He formed the earth and fashioned it; He established it; 

He did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited: 

“I am the LORD, and there is no other. 

• So, on this apparent discrepancy occurs the possibility 

that there is an enormous interval between verse 1:1 and 

1:2 this is called the Gap Theory. 

Gap Theory: 

• There are aspects of “Gap Theory” that I think are correct 

but, if you subscribe to the Gap Theory that also probably 

implies all kinds of things that you do not ascribe to so 

be cautious about that. Many people through that small 

little crack drive trucks through them and come up with 

all kinds of ideas but I don’t want to get into that tonight. 

We’ve covered that on the Genesis series you can listen to 

that on the Genesis tapes. 

That’s Isaiah 14 and that’s a pivotal passage that you should 

be aware of. 

• A comparable passage Ezekiel 28:12-19. Ezekiel in his case 

is also a prophet dealing with a particular king. I’ll use the 

term prince here because it keeps it straight. 

- The Prince of Tyre = Ittiobalus (from historian Flavious 

132

CHAPTER 4 

Josephus); Josephus tells us his name was Ittiobalus, here 

spoken to as the Prince of Tyre. But as Ezekiel wraps up his 

message to the Prince of Tyre, at about verse 11 or 12 he shifts 

gears. 

• And the scope of what he is saying clearly does not fit this 

human king. 

- King of Tyre was superhuman (in Eden?)! 

• If you study the whole chapter, you’ll find that the Prince 

of Tyre that is the human ruler gets killed by being pierced 

through. 

• But the king of Tyre is going to be burned, so you recognize 

that there are two different people or entities involved 

here. Linguistically here you can see that he’s talking 

about two different people using two different titles. And 

their destinies are different. 

- Different death predicted (“merchandise” = to traffic; to 

slander). 

Ezekiel 28:11 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, 

saying, 12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king 

of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou 

sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. 

• Son of man here is not a title it is a nickname of Ezekiel. 

• Ezekiel was just talking to the Prince of Tyre, now he’s 

speaking to the king of Tyre. 

“Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in 

133

BOOK OF JUDE 

beauty” 

• The person that he is talking to is the epitome of Wisdom 

and Beauty, that’s extreme language in fact the expression 

in the Hebrew is that there can be no more extreme 

language as this. 

13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious 

stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, 

the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, 

and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets 

and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast 

created. 

• “Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God” 

• “I don’t know of any king of Babylon who goes back to 

Genesis 2.” So, suddenly we realize that there has been 

a shift in the subject here. The person who is being 

addressed has been in Eden, the garden of God. 

• One thing that should strike you is that the Eden described 

here doesn’t seem to be the Eden described in Genesis 

chapter 2. Because in Genesis chapter two we tend to 

visualize it with trees and foliage and a terrestrial kind 

of place. 

• This Eden is described in the same vocabulary that we use 

Post Millennial, of the New Jerusalem and so forth. Part of 

what overlays this whole study, Acts 3 speaks of the Second 

Coming of Jesus Christ as the time of the restitution of all 

things. Restitution meaning, put back like it used to be. 

Put back like Eden could be, maybe it’s a different Eden 

than you and I think of a Pre-Fall Eden. 

134

CHAPTER 4 

• And so, when we read Revelation 22 and we talk about new 

Jerusalem, and foundations. The whole hyperspace that 

you and I probably have no capacity to deal with precious 

stones may be just their way vocabulary-wise, of talking 

about light. Or talking about a dimensionality that goes 

beyond our three-dimensional physics as we think of it. 

• But also, this person was in Eden, and he was big news, 

“perfect” but, he was created another side of this is don’t 

forget, he is not some kind of super god. He may be 

superhuman, but he is created, as fantastic as he may be 

or was at one time, he is still a created being. This is easy 

to forget there is a popular book in demonology called, 

“Between Christ and Satan” by Kurt Koch, this is a tragic 

title because it implies equality. 

• Christ is not a created being (John 1:1 In the beginning was 

the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was 

God.) Satan was created. 

Ezekiel 28:14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and 

I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; 

thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of 

fire. 

• “Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth” that’s 

clumsy language saying that he was appointed to office, 

what office? In other words he was in charge of everything, 

we 

would say it differently, but the King James translators say, 

that “he is the anointed cherub that covereth.” Another way 

of saying that he was in charge. 

135

BOOK OF JUDE 

- Appointed to office that she was in charge! 

- He is a cherub which is the … 

- Most powerful kind of angel Isaiah 6 and Revelation 4 

Inserted Note:Isaiah 6 is describing Seraphs 

Cherubs Are An Order of Angels and Described In Ezekiel 

10:14: 

Cherubs Have Four Faces Apiece And Four Wings: 

Ezekiel 10:21 Every one had four faces apiece, and every one 

four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under 

their wings. 

Cherubs Have the Form of a Man’s Hand Under Their 

Wings: 

Ezekiel 10:8 And there appeared in the cherubims the form 

of a man’s hand under their wings. 

Cherubs are Full of Eyes: 

Ezekiel 10:12 And their whole body, and their backs, and 

their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes 

round about, even the wheels that they four had. 

Cherubs have four faces: 

• Face of a Cherub, and the second face was the 

• Face of a Man, and the third the 

• Face of a Lion, and the fourth the 

• Face of an Eagle 

Ezekiel 10:1 Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that 

was above the head of the cherubims there appeared over them 

as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness 

of a throne. 

Ezekiel 10:2 Berean Study Bible 

And the LORD said to the man clothed in linen, “Go inside 

136

CHAPTER 4 

the wheelwork beneath the cherubim. Fill your hands with 

burning coals from among the cherubim and scatter them over 

the city.” And as I watched, he went in. 3 Holman Christian 

Standard Bible 

Now the cherubim were standing to the south of the temple 

when the man went in, and the cloud filled the inner court. 4 

Then the glory of the LORD rose from above the cherub to the 

threshold of the temple. The temple was filled with the cloud, 

and the court was filled with the brightness of the LORD’s 

glory. … 

Ezekiel 10:14 And every one had four faces: the first face 

was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a 

man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of 

an eagle. 

Seraphim Are Serpent Like Beings: 

Seraphs have Six Wings: 

Seraphs have Four Different Faces: 

137

BOOK OF JUDE 

• First beast was like a Lion … 

• Second beast is like a Calf … 

• Third beast had the face as a Man … 

• Fourth beast was like a Flying Eagle … 

Isaiah 6:2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six 

wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he 

covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. 

Revelation 4:7 And the first beast was like a lion, and the 

second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, 

138

CHAPTER 4 

and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle. 

8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; 

and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and 

night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was 

and is and is to come 

• Inserted note: Did Dr. Chuck Missler mean to say seraph 

instead of cherub? 

You know four cherubim that are around the throne of God 

we find them in Isaiah 6. And in Revelation 4, whenever we 

see the throne of God, we see these four cherubim and they’re 

strange creatures. Apparently, Satan was one of those. 

15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast 

created, till iniquity was found in thee. 

• What was the iniquity well if you go back to Isaiah 14 t 

will tell you. God hates pride that’s how the whole thing 

started. 

16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the 

midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I 

will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will 

destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones 

of fire. 17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou 

hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will 

cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they 

may behold thee. 18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the 

multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; 

therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall 

devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in 

139

BOOK OF JUDE 

the sight of all them that behold thee. 19 All they that know 

thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt 

be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more. 

• Merchandise – Means to “go about” … Trafficking or 

Slander (Feminine passive participle of rakal; trade (as 

peddled) — merchandise, traffic.) 

- Satan = slanderer (rakal ‏[לַכָר]‏ verb probably go about, from 

one to another (for

a horse, to make him go [? properly use the foot, compare ?];

Satan’s Whole Strategy And Goal: 

140

CHAPTER 4 

Revelation 12:1-6 And there appeared a great wonder in 

heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under 

her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:2 And she 

being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be 

delivered. 3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; 

and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten 

horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. 4 And his tail drew 

the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the 

earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was 

ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was 

born. 5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule 

141

BOOK OF JUDE 

all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up 

unto God, and to his throne. 6 And the woman fled into the 

wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they 

should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore 

days. 

• Who is the red dragon? 

- Defined in verse 9, the devil, Satan 

Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old 

serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole 

world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast 

out with him. 

- This is where we understand where Satan rebelled, and he 

was thrown out. 

- His angels rebelled and were cast out with him. 

• Ezekiel 28, Isaiah 14, and Revelation 12 these are the three 

key scriptures there’s obviously more. 

• Satan clearly was very powerful at one time, he was perfect 

at one time, he was in charge, he rebelled a third of the 

angels apparently were alive with him who blew it and 

they were thrown out. 

• So, we know who the red dragon is at this point. 

• Who is the woman? 

- Not the church! the (Church is the virgin bride) 

- Many commentators that are very competent commentators 

would identify the woman as the church. 

- Check Smith puts it if this woman is church, she’s in 

trouble, because she’s pregnant. 

142

CHAPTER 4 

- The Church is uniformly used in the New Testament as a 

virgin bride, not a one to give birth. 

- The woman is identified with the sun, moon, and 12 stars 

this is not the Zodiac. 

• There is only one place where the sun, moon, and 12 stars 

show up in the scriptures and your principle in the Book 

of Revelation the entire thing is in code but every code 

is deciphered somewhere in scripture, the Holy Spirit 

engineered the Book so it will take you to every other 

passage within the Bible if you take it exhaustively. 

And the only place where you will find the sun, moon, and 12 

stars is … 

- Joseph’s dreams Genesis 37:9-10 Jacob understood the 

dream 

Genesis 37:9-10 And he dreamed yet another dream, and 

told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream 

more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars 

made obeisance to me. 10 And he told it to his father, and to 

his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, 

What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy 

mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves 

to thee to the earth? 

• Who is the woman? 

- Israel – going back to Eve in the Garden. It’s Israel in the 

sense that she starts with Eve. 

- The man child is the “seed of the woman” Genesis 3:15. 

What woman, Israel in the sense that she doesn’t start with 

143

BOOK OF JUDE 

Abraham, Israel in the sense that she starts with the declared 

war. 

- Starting when God declared war on Satan Genesis 3:15 

• “I will put enmity between thee and the woman” 

• What woman? The woman in Chapter 12 of Revelation 

• “and between thy seed and her seed” 

• Two seeds 

- Predicts The Virgin Birth – proper name Isaiah 7:14 

Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; 

Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call 

his name Immanuel. 

• Who is the man-child? 

- Jesus Christ 

- Israel “gives birth” to Jesus Christ 

• Israel was ordained from Eve on 

- God’s plan was to present the Deliverer through her 

• His commitment to Adam in the Garden of Eden 

• Satan took a third of the angels with him 

- They stood before the woman to devour her child 

Revelation 12:3-4 And there appeared another wonder in 

heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads 

and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. 

4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and 

144

CHAPTER 4 

did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the 

woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child 

as soon as it was born. 

• The whole history in the Bible 

- Satan’s plan to thwart the will of God 

• It starts in Genesis 3:15 he goes after Eve 

• Satan narrow fix focus of attack 

- Anti-Semitism is not just racial prejudice it goes much deeper 

• Satan’s objective is to thwart the Messiah plan which he 

attempts to do by attacking Israel 

• We have Cain and Abel satanically that was an attempt to 

get rid of the seed, the seed was Seth. As we go through 

the scriptures as God reveals more and more of His plan it 

allows Satan to focus his attack. 

• The call of Abraham occurs he doesn’t have to mess around 

with anybody else he can focus on Abraham. Isaac Jacob, 

as God confirms his covenant. When you become the tribe 

of Judah all throughout the scripture you see again and 

again plot and counterplot. 

• You have several occasions where all of the babies were 

killed, Moses and the infants? Was that pharaoh? No, it 

was Satan because he has to thwart the Messianic thread. 

Go all the way through to Bethlehem, it wasn’t Herod 

slaying the babes it was Satanic, Herod was just an instrument. 

All through the Kings you find the children who 

are heirs hidden by someone who attempts to slaughter 

145

BOOK OF JUDE 

all the children but always misses one. The point is the 

concept of anti-Semitism is not just noxious because of 

racial prejudice, it goes much deeper. 

Racial prejudice of any kind I’m sure is an offense to God. 

Anti-Semitic ties and trends and so forth go even deeper, 

as you understand the scriptures you understand that Satan’s 

objective is to thwart the Messiah plan which he attempts to 

do by attacking Israel. 

Revelation 12:5 And she brought forth a man child, who was 

to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught 

up unto God, and to his throne. 

• Verse 5 appears to be historical his - Ascension 

• Verse 6 appears to be future pointing to the - Tribulation 

• Gap between these virtues versus Church Age 

- Appears in Daniel 9:26-27 and Revelation 12:5-6 

- Some 1,900 years between verses 5 and 6 so far 

- That gap appears 24 times in Scriptures, the number of 

the church is 24. 

- Those of you who have read Daniel 9 are not uncomfortable 

to allow for the idea of a gap in the timeline. 

We call it the Church Age that gap appears between Daniel 

9:26-27 and Revelation 12:5-6. There are 1,900 years between 

verses 5 and 6 so far. 

• Used to view that as the ascension of the Lord. But there 

was a guy by the name of Pember who wrote a book about 

Genesis and the Earths Earliest Ages. Which blew me away 

because he sees this differently and I don’t know if he’s 

146

CHAPTER 4 

wrong. He says that child is the body of Christ. 

• He says that child is the body of Christ 

- The Rapture 

- It doesn’t alter the text because from verse 6 on is the 

Tribulation. 

• The devil’s attack on Israel is part of prophecy 

- And it climaxes with what the Old Testament calls Jacob Time 

of Trouble 

• Great Tribulation – Daniel 

- Jesus quotes from Daniel in the Olivet Discourse, it’s in 

Christ’s quote from the Book of Daniel that that period of 

time gets its classical label among Bible scholars “The Great 

Tribulation.” 

• Focus of the Tribulation is in Israel 

But in that we tend to forget the focus of the tribulation is 

Israel. 

- The more we know about the Holocaust the more we 

understand their plea “never again.” 

- What is coming in the future will make the Holocaust look 

like a warmup to the real thing. 

- Trouble such as the world has never seen until then 

• What made the Holocaust possible? 

147

BOOK OF JUDE 

- Philosophy of Nietzsche and others 

• The philosophical or religious rationale that Israel deserved 

punishment 

- Fallacies of the church for over 1,900 years 

• We will see Christian teachers arguing a theology which 

main attribute is a prelude to anti-Semitism 

- A Sign of the time 

• The battle against Israel and Ezekiel 38 will not be won 

because of help from The United States of America 

• When the Soviets invade Israel and 5/6 of them get wiped 

out, the Lord makes it very clear that it happened by His 

Hands and not by the power of the United States. 

- Sometime before then all nations will turn against Israel 

• God will use that battle to show His Hand just as he did in 

Egypt. 

- Israel will still be in unbelief when it happens not observing 

God’s intervention. 

- God will keep His promises for His Name’s Sake before the 

heathens. 

Matthew 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the 

left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, 

prepared for the devil and his angels: 

Destiny: 

148

CHAPTER 4 

Isaiah 24:21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the 

LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, 

and the kings of the earth upon the earth. 

• Two governing bodies to be punished 

1. “Host of the High Ones that are On High”, you see this 

punishment doesn’t just come on people, but upon the 

High Ones whoever they are. 

• Neither Satan’s demons nor angels are now bound Revelation 

12:9; Matthew 10:8 they may have to restrictions, 

but the point is they are not bound, yet. 

• Some are, which Jude is talking about. 

• More than just you and I are being redeemed 

- Heaven and earth will be cleansed also Isaiah 65:17: Revelation 

21:1 … Behold, I see a new heaven and a new earth … 

Are Demons Angels? 

Now let me point out to you that there are those that make a 

big distinction between demons and angels. 

• Angels apparently have the capability of being embodied 

by themselves Genesis 19:5, 10, 16. We find angels in 

human form. 

- They spoke as men 

- Took people’s hand 

- Ate food with them 

- No necessity to be embodied (there is a special situation in 

which Satan entered Judas) 

149

BOOK OF JUDE 

• In contrast to that, the demons are a whole other story. 

Acts 23:9 And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that were 

of the Pharisees’ part arose, and strove, saying, We find no 

evil in this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, 

let us not fight against God. 

• The concept that that time was that Angels and Demons 

- Were two different things 

Luke 8:26-28 And they arrived at the country of the 

Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee. 27 And when he 

went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain 

man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither 

abode in any house, but in the tombs. 28 When he saw Jesus, 

he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice 

said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most 

high? I beseech thee, torment me not. 

• That’s a shocker because up to this point in the gospels he 

had not acknowledged his role. So, the personage that was 

inside of this man recognized something that was beyond 

the knowledge of the people at that time. 

So, this shows that the demons are knowledgeable, this is not 

something that a cracked pot demented person would say, he 

has not announced his real role the fact that they recognized 

his deity, the Son of God Most High “I beseech thee that thou 

torment me not.” 

• Out of this we know who is 

150

CHAPTER 4 

• That they are destined for torment 

• And they know that they have a very specific time 

Luke 8:29-30 (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to 

come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and 

he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake 

the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.) 30 

And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, 

Legion: because many devils were entered into him. 

• A Legion is not 1,000 by the way a Roman legion is 6,000 

troops. So, when you say this the first legion, the 2 nd , 3 rd , 

and 4 th legions are smaller, that’s the way the Romans 

organized them. The point is a legion is a lot. The demons 

in this man ultimately go into a herd of swine do you know 

how many swine there were? Mark tells us 2,000! That’s 

a large herd. 

• I used to be bothered asking myself, “What are they doing 

for raising swine in a kosher country?” the answer is, it 

isn’t kosher it’s on the East of the Jordan. They are the 

Greek cities of the Decapolis there are five cities that were 

Gentile so, economically you can understand why there 

would be swine raised at all. You wouldn’t expect that in 

Judea they may have been there too to support the gentile 

contingency. 

Luke 8:31-32 And they besought him that he would not 

command them to go out into the deep. 

• “The Deep” From, “abussos (12)” boundless, bottomless. 

The abyss, unfathomable depth, an especially Jewish 

151

BOOK OF JUDE 

conception, the home of the dead and of evil spirits. 

• This is one of the passages of the Bible that I do not 

understand, they do beseech him don’t send us back to the 

pit. Which is apparently one of the places that he would 

normally do, he would cast them out and they would go 

back to the “abussos” apparently for a long time. 

Luke 8:32 And there was there an herd of many swine feeding 

on the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer 

them to enter into them. And he suffered them. 

• What puzzles me even more is that the Lord agreed to cast 

them into the herd of swine. 

- Maybe to teach us that these things are not psychiatric 

problems and so forth. People who say that have never 

attended an exorcism; or they would know better. 

Luke 8:33-34 Then went the devils out of the man, and 

entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a 

steep place into the lake, and were choked.. 34 When they that 

fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in 

the city and in the country. 

• And he obviously becomes unpopular because he upset 

their economy there. 

Are Demons Angels? 

• Demons appear to be quite different from angels. 

• Where do demons come from? 

• Much speculation, without a Scriptural basis that are really 

152

CHAPTER 4 

built from the gaps from what we do understand, there are 

those who believe that there was a Pre-Adamic creation 

that was destroyed and judged and that the demons are the 

disembodies spirits of those entities. There is no scriptural 

evidence for that, and they place all of this hypothesis 

between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2 that’s part of the Gap 

Theory that gets way out into the left field. 

Now, actually I personally believe there appears to be a hierarchy 

among the angels. 

• Appears to be a hierarchy among the Angels, in the Old 

Testament there are the … 

• Shedim = “mighty ones” (Deuteronomy 32:17) 

• Seirim = He-goats, satyrs, demonic hairy creatures 

• Lilith, Tsiim, Iim… 

• These Hebrew words are all translated as “demons.” 

• “Principalities, Powers …” These are ranks, angels seem 

to come in different kinds. 

- Are demons just “junior members” of that? 

Three Views: 

1) Not intended to know any more than what is here. 

- Draws from familiar Old Testament truths 

2) These angels that sinned are angels that had to do with 

the fall of Lucifer Isaiah 14:12-17. 

I believe that the fall of Satan and those angels in Isaiah 14, 

number one are not bound. 

- Not bound – yet … the ones that Jude is talking about are 

bound, they are in chains of darkness reserved for the Day of 

judgment. 

153

BOOK OF JUDE 

- Satan not bound - not till the end of tribulation 

- Satan’s angels still free to do mischief 

Then what on Earth are we talking about in Jude 7? 

3) This leads us to a passage in the Bible that is very strange 

in Genesis 6:1-4 

• We all know about Noah’s flood, but I don’t think one 

person in 100 knows the reason for Noah’s flood, except 

in maybe a very broad sense. to 

• Yes, there was wickedness, and the wickedness was very 

widespread, and God chose to wipe out the whole earth at 

that time. I don’t think the flood was local. 

But Genesis chapter six verse one and verse two has a phrase 

that scholars wince, squirrel around and try to explain. You 

know it’s amazing how much trouble you can get into how 

much work you can put on to yourself if you decide not to 

accept what the Bible tells you. There are people who spend 

years trying to talk about first Isaiah and 2 nd Isaiah because 

they never read John 12. 

John 12:38 That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be 

fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? 

and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed? 39 

Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said 

again, 40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; 

that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with 

their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. 41 These 

things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him. 

• Just like in Genesis 6:2 the libraries are filled with speculations 

as to what it means but if you just take it at face 

154

CHAPTER 4 

value it tells you would it means. 

Genesis 6:1-2And it came to pass, when men began to multiply 

on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, 2 

That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were 

fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. 

• Now, “the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they 

were fair”, 

Two Basic Views: 

• The common, Church “acceptable” view … 

- “Sons of God” is a reference to believers of the line Seth 

- “Daughters of men” is supposedly a reference to ungodly 

unbelievers 

• Suggesting intermarriage was not appropriate 

• There are problems with that first of all that is not what it 

says, 

1) B’nai Elohim = “Angels of God.” 

- 4 times in Scriptures Genesis 6:2; Job 1:6; Job 2:1; Job 38:7 

- Always means “angels” 

By proof of that is that when the Septuagint was translated 

three centuries before Christ they translated it as angels. 

- “Angels of God” in the ancient Septuagint translation 

A Side Note by Troy H: 

Angels versus Sons of God: 

Psalm 34:7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about 

155

BOOK OF JUDE 

them that fear him, and delivereth them. 

‏ְךַ֖אְלַמּו “malak: Psalm 35:5 and 35:6“Angel” from, 

“Angel” from, “malak: (4397)” meaning, a messenger. 

From an unused root meaning to despatch as a deputy; a 

messenger; specifically, of God, i.e. An angel (also a prophet, 

priest or teacher) — ambassador, angel, king, messenger. 

Hebrews 1:5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, 

Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I 

will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? 

Sons of God: 

Genesis 6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men 

that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they 

chose. 

“Sons” From, “ben (1121) ”meaning, son. 

(1121) ben: son = ןֵּב 

(1121) applied to supernatural beings Genesis 6:2,4; Job יֵנְּב

heavenly beings Psalm 29:1Berean Study Bible ‏(‏‎1121‎‏)יֵנְּב 

endearment, (1121) my son, as a term of kindliness or יִנְּב 

used by Eli to Samuel 1 Samuel 3:6, 16; 

Psalm 29:1 {A Psalm of David.} Give unto the LORD, O ye 

mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength. 

Psalm 29:1 Berean Study Bible 

A Psalm of David. Ascribe to the LORD, O heavenly beings, 

ascribe to the LORD glory and strength. 

2) Daughters of men are not limited to non-Sethites 

3) when a believer and an unbeliever get married … 

The Nephilim: 

- They don’t have “giant” offspring and what these people 

give birth to are some strange creatures. 

Genesis 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always 

156

CHAPTER 4 

strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be 

an hundred and twenty years. 

Bear in mind that his longevity decreases to 120 years later 

becoming three score and 10 = 70 years. (Threescore used to 

be used for sixty plus ten = 70 years) 

Genesis 6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; 

and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the 

daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same 

became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. 

• So, whatever happened here the “sons of God” and the 

“daughters of men” gave birth to something unnatural, 

not normal. 

• What on earth is going on 

• Greek Septuagint renders this term “gigantis” often 

misunderstood to mean giants 

- Now the Greek word “gigantis” actually means “earthborn.” 

• The word Nephilim here it’s from the Hebrew word naphal 

meaning (to fall, the Fallen Ones) 

• Offspring from the sons of God and the daughters of men 

were the “Fallen Ones” 

• Only makes sense if you view these as angels 

- Which some have left their appropriate domain 

• Took on the mode that allow intercourse with women and 

they gave birth to the Nephilim 

• Found before and after the flood Numbers 13 

• Now the Nephilim happened to be very large, 13 feet tall 

157

BOOK OF JUDE 

and so forth. The Nephilim are strange so that suggests 

something bizarre is going on here. 

Line of Seth? 

• The early church viewed the B’nai Elohim as angels up 

through the late 4 th century: 

• Justin, Athenagoras, Cyprian, Eusebius, et al. 

- Also, Josephus, Philo, Judeaus, and the Apocrypha regard this 

traditional view, so this was the common belief up until the 

4 th century. 

Julius Africanus (a contemporary of Origen) 

- Introduced the theory that the “sons of God” simply refer 

to the genealogical line of Seth. Stating this isn’t really the 

angels these are from the line of Seth, they intermarried with 

the other people. 

There was an attack on the church … 

• Celsus and Julian the Apostate 

- Exploited the older common belief to attack Christianity 

• Cyril of Alexandria, in his reply, repudiated the orthodox 

position of the angels 

• Seemingly more appealing 

- the “Sethite theory” prevailed into the Medieval Church, 

- Many still hold this view today 

• This view has several serious problems 

158

CHAPTER 4 

1) The Sethites were not distinguished for piety; 

- Seth’s son Enosh introduced apostasy to that world. 

- Masked by mistranslation of Genesis 4:26, should read 

“…then men began to profane the name of the Lord” 

2) Not exempted from the flood 

- If they were believers they perished in the flood 

3) When the faithful married the unfaithful, they do not give 

birth to unnatural offspring! 

The Nephilim: 

• Incidentally, the Nephilim didn’t completely end with the 

flood 

• Genesis 6:4 mentions, “…and also after that….” 

• We find the sons of Anak, the Anakim, later in the Old 

Testament 

- A very famous one was named Goliath 

- David picked 5 stones from the brook, he only needed one! 

• David new Goliath had four brothers and he was ready 

The Anakim: 

• The bedstead of one of them was 13 feet long (Deuteronomy 

3:11) 

• Compared to them, the men of Israel were “as grasshoppers” 

(Numbers 13:3; Amos 2:9) when the spies spied 

out the land, they were terrified because they had seen 

something that they had never experienced before. Joshua 

and Caleb said, “That’s no problem, the Lord is on our side 

he’s bigger than them.” But the people didn’t buy that so 

159

BOOK OF JUDE 

it cost them about 38 years. 

• Numbers 13:3 Why does Israel refer to their second appearance 

as Nephilim (Fallen Ones)? There is something 

about them that harks back to the days when the angels 

communed with the daughters of men. As you can tell 

from this presentation, I hold to the view personally, that 

there was something supernatural going on. 

• Noah was “perfect in his generations” Genesis 6:9 

- “He was a just man…he walked with God” 

- His genealogy was clean, and untarnished 

- This point makes no sense outside of Genesis 6:2 

• This paints a bizarre picture of life before the flood 

- Life and Eden was quite different than we can understand 

- Adam walked with God, clothed with light 

- Prior to sin, prior to the curse, a different dimension 

• The whole situation was so different that there is no way 

to communicate it properly to us 

After the fall, from Adam through Noah 

- There was a whole different lifestyle 

- People lived for hundreds of years 

• “Sons of God and daughters of men” idea is embodied it 

all of Greek Mythology 

- Titans (large) partly heavenly, partly earthly origins 

- Rebelled against the “king of heaven” (Uranus) 

160

CHAPTER 4 

- Defeated by Zeus after a prolonged conflict 

- Thrown into a prison called Tartarus 

• Greek Titan = Chaldean Shitan = Hebrew Satan 

- Even in the mythology of our classical, cultural roots, there 

are veiled remembrances of a time when strange things were 

happening on the earth, pre-flood. 

• We play a part in that – Satan’s strategy 

- Deliverance is from the “seed of the woman” 

- Satan wants to contaminate the race so that there are no 

pure humans to become heir to the title deed 

- “No man was worthy to open the book…” Revelation 5 

- Jesus Christ our deliverer had to be a “Man” he had to be 

an heir of Adam 

Genealogies of Jesus: 

• Two genealogies (Matthew and Luke) 

• Luke was a doctor who goes from Adam to David 

- From David to Mary 

• Matthew, a Levite starts with Abraham and goes down to 

David 

- Through Solomon the royal life to Joseph 

• Joseph has legal title to the throne of David 

• In Jeconiah’s day God put a blood curse on Jeconiah and 

161

BOOK OF JUDE 

all the rest of the royal line 

- And Satan rejoiced 

Because there was a blood curse on the royal line 

• When we get down to Jesus Christ, we find that he is the 

legal son but not flesh and blood son Joseph 

- Joseph carried the blood curse 

• The two genealogies divide at David 

- Matthews follows the legal line that has an heir to the throne 

- Luke goes through Nathan, another son of David to Mary 

the mother of Jesus 

• Jesus was of the “house and lineage of David” 

- In a way that made him legally entitled but not subject to the 

blood curse 

- So again, and again as you study scripture you find Satan 

plotting, and God outsmarting him every step of the way. 

• But the more you study the scriptures the more you become 

fascinated with God’s methodology and how clever 

He is. But you also recognize that every detail fits into a 

plan. Every number, every number, every detail of these 

66 books is woven tightly by a Super Engineer and it’s just 

incredible. 

2 Peter 2:4: 

162

CHAPTER 4 




• Satan has all kinds of fallen angels 

- Doing all kinds of things but are not bound 

- But these angels broke some deeper rules, so they were all 

cast down to Tartarus – the same place as in Greek mythology 

– Titans, etc. Notice where Peter goes on …2 Peter 2:4-5 And 

spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, 

a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the 

world of the ungodly; 6 And turning the cities of Sodom and 

Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, 

making [them] an ensample unto those that after should live 

ungodly; 

• Tartarus = pit of darkness in the unseen world; 

- Greek term for dark abode of woe 

- Homer’s Illiad: - “as far below Hades as the earth is below 

heaven…” 

• Peter presumes that his readers are as familiar with all 

this as they are with the Flood of Noah and with Sodom 

and Gomorrah. 

• Jude does the same thing in verse 7 

- Referring to Sodom and Gomorrah’s lifestyle, that the angels 

did the same thing engaging in unnatural sexual perversion 

and going after strange flesh 

163

BOOK OF JUDE 

- Angels did the same thing - unnatural sexual perversion 

• “Going after strange flesh” 

- The language appears to indicate that is the nature of the sin 

of the angels in verse 6 

Lessons: 

• Warnings against meddling with the spirit world (the 

scripture warns us) 

- Throughout the Old Testament and New Testament – We are 

to “Flee all occultic things” 

- Party games, horoscopes, etc., these are entries 

- Subtle, “innocent” things serve as entry points 

• Can lead to an entanglement with the “spirit world” 

• Involvement that grows and deepens to an addiction 

- The end of which is your own destruction 

• Not dangerous just because they are “stupid” and these 

are superstitions that the Bible doesn’t even comment on, 

but they are still malevolent 

- They are malevolent and driven by demonic spirits 

• Whose goal is to undo you and who commands huge 

resources 

Jude’s point is … 

164

CHAPTER 4 

• The punishment which overtook the angels that sinned 

and emphasizes the serious nature of apostasy: 

- Beings of a higher order than ours have been hurled down 

into a dark place of confinement where they have remained 

for thousands of years. 

• God has not changed his attitude toward them; 

- Time has not mitigated the seriousness of their sin 

• False teachers are pre-written into condemnation 1 Timothy 

4:1 




• Ideas impacting your life that are not Biblically sound have 

a very malevolent source 

- Some are obviously anti-Biblical that they prey primarily on 

the secular world 

- New age - are old ideas repackaged in modern technology 

• Greater danger in pseudo-Christian doctrines 

- That is just one degree off - that’s all it takes. If I’m aboard 

the ship as a spy and I’m trying to get this ship off course, my 

shrewdest way is to get the autopilot 1° off. Because they won’t 

notice it for a while until they are so off course there was no 

165

BOOK OF JUDE 

hope. That is exactly what Satan has done throughout the ages. 

• What’s your protection against that? 

- The whole council of God! Genesis 1:1 – Revelation 22. 

• Try to absorb as the Holy Spirit gives you the opportunity 

the whole counsel of God 

Ephesians 6:10-18 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, 

and in the power of his might.11 Put on the whole armour of 

God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 

• You don’t stand a chance by yourself 

- Satan is smarter than you he has had centuries to study 

- He has enormous resources and focus 

- He is bright, he was “perfect and wisdom” 

- Sin has corrupted him for a very long time 

- You make a gigantic mistake if you underestimate him 

- Never fool around in spiritual matters without proper 

armament 

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, 

but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers 

of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in 

high places. 

• Spiritual warfare Daniel 10; 2 Kings 6 

• Spiritual forces behind what happens on earth 

• The “hints” become very explicit in Ephesians 

166

CHAPTER 4 

- We do indeed, “wrestle not against flesh and blood, but 

against principalities, against powers, against of the darkness 

of this world, against spiritual wickedness and high places.” 

• Prince of Persia and Prince of Greece (Daniel 10) 

- A ruler and his minions over each government 

- 200 years between Persia and Greece, so their time domain 

is a little different than ours because their physics are different 

than ours. 

• Is there a Prince of the United States? Yes! 

• Who owns the media in this country? 

Ephesians 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour 

of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and 

having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your 

loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of 

righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of 

the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, 

wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the 

wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of 

the Spirit, which is the word of God:18 Praying always with all 

prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto 

with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; 

How do you put on the whole armor of God? 

• Take Ephesians 6 and lay out each article 

- Really dig into them, 

- Build yourself a preparation 

167

Isaiah 52:7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet 

of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that 

bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that 

saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth! 

• We should be preparing for spiritual battles 

- With a sense of urgency that is very, very high 

• Bible studies, public and private 

• Prayer and devotional life, the Holy Spirit will lead 

• God is getting ready to charge the earth again 

- Some events will occur prior to that judgment 

• For lots of reasons we know that time is near 

• Events that happened prior to the Flood of Noah 

- Are going to happen again 

• Widespread wickedness, 

• Small minority in God’s grace – in the since of being taken 

care of 

• We are headed for some strange times!

Chapter 5 

Chapter 5 Jude - Verses 7 and 8 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1-lL6DNkTc 

7] Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about 

them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, 

and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, 

suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. 

• Jude is writing to the church as a warning to you and I. 

• It is a very solemn thing that Sodom and Gomorrah are set 

forth as examples for instruction to the Church! 

• What can believers learn from the record of the old cities 

of the plain which God destroyed because of their terrible 

wickedness? 

It is prophetic of the apostasy within Christendom in the last 

days: 

169

BOOK OF JUDE 

• “turn the grace of our God into lasciviousness” verse 4 

• “defile the flesh” verse 8 

• “corrupt themselves as beasts” verse 10 

• “walk after their own lusts” verse 16 

• Apostasy begins with intellectual doubts; it’s certain to 

end with physical degradation. • Sodom and Gomorrah are 

mentioned in connection with apostasy, 

- Therefore, they once had knowledge of the truth! 

• It was only 450 years since the Flood; 

• Shem (Noah’s son) still walked the earth, having 50 years 

left before him. 


• Its first mention is in Genesis 10:19 “…the border of the 

Canaanites…” 

• Archaeological notes by Dr. Melvin Grove Kyle show that 

at Jebel Usdum (on the southern shore of the Dead Sea) the 

Zoar ruins were identified, with oil and bitumen (“slime” 

in Genesis 11:3; Genesis 14:10). 

• The other cities are believed to be under the southern part 

of the Dead Sea. 

• The Dead Sea is 1,286 feet below sea level. 

• It is the terminus of the Jordan River and is 40 miles long, 

10 miles wide. 

• Its northern segment is very deep — 1,400 feet in places, 

there is no outlet; 

• The southern segment (10 miles long) is only 10 - 20 

feet deep. It now covers the “Vale of Siddim” (Genesis 

170

CHAPTER 5 

14:3,8,10) in which five cities existed: 

• At the time of Abraham and Lot, it was a fertile area in 

which five cities existed: 

• Sodom, Gomorrah, Zoar, Admah, and Zeboim. They 

were very prosperous cities; over one million tombs were 

discovered. 

• The population of these cities was very substantial. 

• First mention was Genesis 10:19 on the border of the 

Canaanites. 

Abraham and Lot: 

• Abraham and his nephew Lot settled together 

• They both had large herds that were growing very large 

(Genesis 13) 

• It was decided they needed to split up, conflicts were rising 

between their herds 

• Abraham may have been one of the wealthiest people alive 

at that time 

- He had 318 trained soldiers born in his tents to go to battle 

• To rescue Lot and his household from captivity 

• He defeated an alliance of four kings 

• Abraham was a very powerful man! 

• Lot chose the Vale of Siddim 

Lot’s Walk: 

1) “Lifted up his eyes” attractive to flesh sight rather than 

faith (Genesis 13:10); 

2) “Chose him” all the plain of Jordan, rather than having 

171

BOOK OF JUDE 

God direct him; 

3) “Separated himself” from Abraham (Genesis 13:11), 

- Abraham chose the heights of Hebron meaning, “Communion” 

- In spite of his mistakes Lot is described as a righteous man 

2 Peter 2 

- God goes to great lengths to save Lot a second time 

4) Lot elects to “Dwell in the cities of the plain”; We are 

pilgrims, passing through, our home is heaven. We are not 

Democrats or Republicans, we are Monoarchists. 

5) “Pitched his tent toward Sodom” (Genesis 13:12); 

- Abraham saves Lot the first time: (Genesis 14:11,12). 

The First War - Genesis 14: 

• 4 kings from the sons of Shem make war on five kings from 

the sons of Ham 

• But the focus should be on Abram – he never took sides 

• This is the first recorded war in the Scriptures 

• The five kings from the South or from the five wicked cities 

- Each has the name of a major demon god 

- The five kings to the South lost 

Genesis 14:10-16 And the vale of Siddim was full of slimepits; 

and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and 

they that remained fled to the mountain. 

- The term for slide pits in the King James version, is 

translated in the Hebrew as “bitumen” think of it in the term 

of oil. 

Genesis 14:11 And they took all the goods of Sodom and 

Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way. 12 And 

they took Lot, Abram’s brother’s son, who dwelt in Sodom, 

172

CHAPTER 5 

and his goods, and departed. 

• What was Lot doing in Sodom in the first place? 

• Lot, after being rescued, returned there to live. 

• God changed the names for Abram and Sarai 

• Abram, Sarai, and Ishmael together = 961 

- 961 = the square of 31; 169 =the square of 13 

• Law of the Square – Hebrew Letters and words have a 

numeric value 

- 961 is said to be the signature of God 

• The opening stanzas of the Creation hymns in the book of 

Genesis and the closing stanzas of the hymn in the book 

of Genesis add up to 961. So, they look for that and they 

see that that’s one of God’s appointed seals, why? 31 is the 

number of El, the name for God. 961 squared discovered 

all kinds of interesting places, example. Why did I bring 

all of this up? Abram, Sarai, and Ishmael together all add 

up to 961. 

• Abraham, Sarah, and Ishmael do not = 961 … BUT! … 

• Abraham, Sarah, and Isaac do = 961 

• When God changed the name of Abram to Abraham his 

name was given breath, and that breath was the “ruach” 

of the spirit. But this event takes place prior to the name 

change. 

Genesis 14:13 And there came one that had escaped, and told 

Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the 

173

BOOK OF JUDE 

Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these 

were confederate with Abram. 

• This is the first time the word Hebrew is used in scripture, 

it means “The one who has crossed over.” 

Genesis 14:14 And when Abram heard that his brother was 

taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own 

house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto 

Dan. 

• “Trained Servants” appears only once in the Bible. 

- It also appears in some early Egyptian documents 

- It is used for “trained mercenary soldiers” 

- Practiced, expert at the art of war 

• Abram is not a docile pacifist but a steward of considerable 

resources 

- Anticipated the need to bear arms 

• 318 pros defeated a confederation of 4 kings 

- Who had just defeated a 5-King alliance 

Genesis 14:15 And he divided himself against them, he and 

his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them 

unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus. 

16 And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again 

his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the 

people. 

174

CHAPTER 5 

• The “Mud Gate” of Laish a gate that even Abraham might 

have gone through! A rare find, since mud structures 

rarely survive. 

• Abram comes home to a hero’s welcome 

• The king of Sodom offers a reward and he is rebuffed 

- Abram sees himself as senior to the King of Sodom 

- But he does do obeisance to another king 

• Melchizedek, King of Salem blesses Abram 

- Abram pays tithes to Melchizedek (Who is found in the Psalms 

and the Book of Hebrews) 

• Melchizedek is a King, Priest, and receives tithes 

- In the scriptures, he is presented as having no beginning and 

no end 

- Some people believe that this was the Old Testament 

appearance of Jesus Christ 

- Jesus Christ is a priest after the order of or the similitude 

of Melchizedek 

- Secondly, he is not some Angel he is a Man the Book of 

Hebrews tells us 

- Some believe he was Shem, but he was still alive at this 

time and he had a genealogy 

- When God anointed the Levitical priesthood, He made it 

plain that they were priests and that kings were for kings, they 

were separate 

• The only other group of persons who are Kings and Priests 

175

BOOK OF JUDE 

is Jesus and the Church 

- The 144,000 don’t have that distinction 

Genesis 18:1-6 And the Lord appeared unto him in the plains 

of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day; 

2 And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood 

by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the 

tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground, 

3 And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, 

pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant: 

4 Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your 

feet, and rest yourselves under the tree: 

5 And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your 

hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to 

your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said. 

6 And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, 

Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and 

make cakes upon the hearth. 

Abraham’s Visitors: 

• Introduces in both the Jewish and Arab cultures 3 measures 

of meal as a Fellowship Offering – the meal is Unleavened 

• In the Bedouin and Judaist traditions have roots back to 

this event right here 

• The Kingdom of Heaven is like a woman who hid leaven in 

3 measures of meal Matthew 13:33 Another parable spake 

he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, 

which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, 

till the whole was leavened. 

• “Leaven” From, “zumé (2219)”, meaning, leaven. 2219 

zýmē – leaven (yeast); (figuratively) the spreading influ- 

176

CHAPTER 5 

ence of what is typically concealed (but still very dramatic). 

Leaven is generally a symbol of the spreading nature of evil 

but note the exception at Luke 13:20,21 (parallel Matthew 

13:32,33). 

- 3 measures of meal = The Fellowship Offering 

• Why is there leaven in this Fellowship Offering? 

- Leaven is always a measure of sin because it corrupts by 

puffing up and is used as a model of sin. It is quoted three 

times in the Gospels and three times in the Pauline epistles. 

- Jesus prophecy of heresy introduced into the Church 

- Here is a Rabbi talking to Jewish disciples - the meaning is 

understood 

• Abraham received these three men 

- They look, feel, and talk like men and eat with him 

- Who are they? The Lord Jesus Christ and two angels 

• This is a pre-incarnate presentation of our Lord 

• Two of these three have an appointment in Sodom and 

Gomorrah 

Genesis 18:16-2 And the men rose up from thence, and looked 

toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them 

on the way. 17 And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham 

that thing which I do; 18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely 

become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the 

earth shall be blessed in him? 19 For I know him, that he will 

177

BOOK OF JUDE 

command his children and his household after him, and they 

shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment; that 

the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken 

of him. 20 And the Lord said, Because the cry of Sodom and 

Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; 21 I 

will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether 

according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, 

I will know. 22 And the men turned their faces from thence, 

and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the 

Lord. 23 And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also 

destroy the righteous with the wicked? 24 Peradventure there 

be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and 

not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein? 

25 That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the 

righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be 

as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all 

the earth do right? 26 And the Lord said, If I find in Sodom 

fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for 

their sakes. 27 And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, 

I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but 

dust and ashes: 28 Peradventure there shall lack five of the 

fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? 

And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it. 

29 And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure 

there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it 

for forty’s sake. 30 And he said unto him, Oh let not the Lord 

be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be 

found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there. 

31 And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak 

unto the Lord: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. 

And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty’s sake. 32 And he 

178

CHAPTER 5 

said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this 

once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will 

not destroy it for ten’s sake. 33 And the Lord went his way, as 

soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham 

returned unto his place. 

• Abraham stopped at 10 - he backed off 

• There was actually only one righteous (Genesis 19) 

• We need to understand that God’s ways are not our ways 

• Jesus points to Lot in Luke 17 and makes a prophetic 

analogy 

- We are instructed to look at this situation in terms of the 

coming judgment on the earth 

- This is one of the reasons that I believe this points to the 

rapture of the church preceding the wrath of God being poured 

out on the earth (1 Thessalonians 5) 

• God lays down the principle that Jesus uses later 

Genesis 19:1 And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and 

Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to 

meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the 

ground; 

• Lot sat in the gate - He was one of the elders. Now that’s 

just not a location it’s an office also. 

• What was he doing there? 

Genesis 19:2 And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray 

you, into your servant’s house, and tarry all night, and wash 

179

BOOK OF JUDE 

your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And 

they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night. 

• This would be like taking a stroll in Central Park at night 

and that would be a very dangerous situation, there are 

places in certain cities that visitors are warned to avoid for 

fear of their lives. 

Genesis 19:3 And he pressed upon them greatly; and they 

turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made 

them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat. 

4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men 

of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, 

all the people from every quarter: 

• That’s bizarre this is not just the young toughs but the old 

men too. 

Genesis 19:5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, 

Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring 

them out unto us, that we may know them. 

• The population is broadly homosexual. We don’t see any 

euphemism in the King James version calling them gays or 

using polite terms, these guys are perverts. And they have 

visitors in town, and they want to take advantage of them. 

They are upset with Lot for not accommodating them. 

Genesis 19:6-7 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and 

shut the door after him, 

7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly. 8 Behold 

180

CHAPTER 5 

now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let 

me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them 

as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for 

therefore came they under the shadow of my roof. 

• What a bizarre proposal it’s hard for you and I too imagine 

Lot offering that. There is another principle implied here 

if you are in an Arab country, and you are the guest of the 

host you need fear nothing from the host. 

Genesis 19:9 And they said, Stand back. And they said again, 

This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: 

now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they 

pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break 

the door. 

• They are speaking to Lot who is sort of one of them 

but isn’t. And now that he is obstructing them they are 

threatening him who was sort of a lynch mob. 

Genesis 19:10 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot 

into the house to them, and shut to the door. 11 And they smote 

the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both 

small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the 

door. 

• So the angels indulged in a supernatural ability and blinded 

this mob that was there. 

Genesis 19:12 And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any 

besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and 

181

BOOK OF JUDE 

whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place: 

13 For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is 

waxen great before the face of the Lord; and the Lord hath sent 

us to destroy it. 

• What was the mission of these two guys? It was to 

destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, but there is a pre-requisite 

condition before they can destroy the city. 

Genesis 19:14 And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in 

law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of 

this place; for the Lord will destroy this city. But he seemed 

as one that mocked unto his sons in law. 15 And when the 

morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, 

take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest 

thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city. 16 And while he 

lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand 

of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the Lord 

being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set 

him without the city. 

• The angels physically took them by their hands and 

dragged them out of the city, there was no coaxing, they 

took him by the hand got them outside of the city limits. 

Genesis 19:17 And it came to pass, when they had brought 

them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not 

behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the 

mountain, lest thou be consumed. 18 And Lot said unto them, 

Oh, not so, my Lord: 

182

CHAPTER 5 

• It’s hard to visualize this you know we read these stories 

and it seems so hard for us to picture, we in our life can 

picture this kind of degradation because all you have to do 

is visit a big city. But Lot you think he’s a slow learner. 

Genesis 19:19 Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy 

sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast 

shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the 

mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die: 20 Behold now, 

this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me 

escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live. 

21 And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning 

this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which 

thou hast spoken. 22 Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot 

do anything till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of 

the city was called Zoar (which means little). 

• The Angel tells us something here, the angels hands are 

tied. 

- The Angel can do nothing until Lot is gone. 

- Big enough issue to concede on sparing the city of Zoar if 

that’s what it takes to get Lot out of the way. 

- Zoar was not destroyed with the other four cities 

Genesis 19:23 The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot 

entered into Zoar. 24 Then the Lord rained upon Sodom 

and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of 

heaven; 25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, 

and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon 

the ground. 

Lot’s Wife: 

183

BOOK OF JUDE 

• Lots wife had emotional roots in Sodom 

• She apparently lingered, and straggled behind 

- This was more than just a look over the shoulder 

- She apparently had trouble letting go 

• She was not clear of “Ground Zero” 

- She was hit with “brimstone” and turned into a pillar of salt 

- We have to put the life of the flesh behind us 

• It was not safe with Lot and their daughters in Zoar 

- Perhaps turn back to get something 

• “No man having put his hand to the plow and looking back 

is fit for the Kingdom” (Luke 9:62) 


• God honors even one righteous person 

• How can Lot be considered righteous? 

• The deal he tried to make with the lynch mob is he righteous? 

• Lot is recorded in Scripture as a righteous man 2 Peter 

2:4-8 

2 Peter 2:4-8 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, 

but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains 

of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 5 And spared not 

the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher 

184

CHAPTER 5 

of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the 

ungodly; 6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha 

into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them 

an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; 7 And 

delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the 

wicked: 8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in 

seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day 

with their unlawful deeds;) 

• “Vexed” From verse 7, from “kataponeó (2669)” to wear 

down. Usage: I exhaust by labor or suffering, wear out, 

overpower, oppress. From kata and a derivative of ponos; 

to labor down, i.e. Wear with toil (figuratively, harass) — 

oppress, vex. 

Daniel 7:25 And he shall speak [great] words against the most 

High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think 

to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand 

until a time and times and the dividing of time. 

• “Vexed” From verse 8, from “basanizó (928)” to torture. 

Usage: I examine, as by torture; I torment; I buffet, as of 

waves. 5. Passive to be harassed, distressed; of those who 

at sea are struggling with a head wind, Mark 6:48; of a 

ship tossed by the waves, Matthew 14:24. 

• Just = Justified, righteous 

• Vexed – Life around him was in total conflict with his soul. 

Lot: 

• In Sodom Lot had no pleasure 

185

BOOK OF JUDE 

• Lot was not at peace 

• Lot was not in the Lord’s rest 

• Was Lot saved? 

- Once by Abraham’s 318 troops 

- By the angels that dragged him out of Sodom 

• Intercessory prayer of Abraham may have played a role in 

the second rescue 

2 Peter 2:9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out 

of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of 

judgment to be punished: 

• With all the adverse comments on his walk 

- Lot is regarded in the New Testament as one who is saved! 

• He was saved literally in terms of being removed from 

Sodom and Gomorrah for our learning 

• Lot was saved by the Grace and Mercy of God 

- Just like we are 

• We can take enormous comfort from Lot 

- Looking at the apostle Paul is humbling 

- Looking at Lot gives us hope for our imperfect walk 

- This is a spiritual issue 

- God is seeking to save even one (Genesis 19; Ezekiel 22:30- 

31; Jeremiah 5:1) 

186

CHAPTER 5 

Ezekiel 22:30-31 And I sought for a man among them, that 

should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me 

for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none. 31 

Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I 

have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way 

have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord GOD. 

Jeremiah 5:1 Run ye to and fro through the streets of 

Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad 

places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that 

executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon 

it. 

• God doesn’t seem to require much! 

• God’s posture with Sodom and Gomorrah is not unique at 

all 

- He will spare the city for one righteous if there is one 

• This lends credence to the idea that the church will not see 

the wrath of God but from a distance 

Earth Dwellers: 

• The main scenario in the Book of Revelation is about Earth 

Dwellers 

• Earth Dwellers – They that dwell upon the earth 

• Believers are not Earth Dwellers 

• The Earth Dwellers are blaspheming God 

- The Old Testament punishment for blasphemy is stoning 

- Revelation predicts 200-pound hailstones will fall 

187

BOOK OF JUDE 

- This is consistent from beginning to end 

1 Corinthians 3:11-15 For other foundation can no man lay 

than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if any man 

build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, 

hay, stubble;13 Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for 

the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; 

and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. 14 If 

any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall 

receive a reward.15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall 

suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 

• Our works will be tested by the living God 

• Depending on what foundation you built upon 

- You will either be rewarded or suffer loss 

- May suffer loss of our works for still be saved 

• We work to please Him and to fulfill His call upon our lives 

for his Kingdom anything else is dead works, dross. 

• Lots daughters resort to incest and they give rise to the 

Moabites and the Ammonites and it rather a grim story to 

the whole scene. 

Luke 17:22-32 And he said unto the disciples, The days will 

come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son 

of man, and ye shall not see it. 23 And they shall say to you, 

See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them. 24 

For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under 

heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall 

also the Son of man be in his day. 25 But first must he suffer 

many things, and be rejected of this generation. 26 And as it 

188

CHAPTER 5 

was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son 

of man. 27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they 

were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into 

the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. 

• He is not saying that eating, and drinking, and having 

married wives, and being given in marriage, is bad. He’s 

saying, it’s business as usual. 

Luke 17:28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did 

eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they 

builded; 29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it 

rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them 

all. 30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is 

revealed. 31 In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, 

and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it 

away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return 

back. 32 Remember Lot’s wife. 

“…As The Days Of Lot” 

• “Remember Lot’s wife” (Luke 17:32) 

• She was married to the world, and she couldn’t let go 

• Even with the Angel taking her by the hand 

- She still didn’t get the message to flee 

- She was cleaning too tightly to the world, the flesh, and to 

things 

Luke 17:33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; 

and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it. 34 I tell you, 

in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall 

be taken, and the other shall be left. 35 Two women shall be

grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 

36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and 

the other left. 

• You have night, morning, and day and it all happens like 

that. 

• Does the Lord know that the world is round you bet. This 

is an interesting study in astronomy right here. 

- This is no Ptolemy cosmology there this is strictly Copernican 

cosmology. 

• Nicolaus Copernicus was a Renaissance polymath, active 

as a mathematician, astronomer, and Catholic canon, who 

formulated a model of the universe that placed the Sun 

rather than Earth at its center. He determined that the 

earth was round.

• What was going on spiritually in Sodom and Gomorrah? 

(Romans 1:18-32) 

Romans 1:18-19 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven 

against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold 

the truth in unrighteousness; 19 Because that which may be 

known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto 

them. 

- They had two witnesses, Lot and the word of God/the 

heavens. 

190

CHAPTER 5 

• The heathen are accountable; “without excuse.” God’s 

whole creation holds them accountable without excuse. 

Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the 

creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood 

by the things that are made, even his eternal power and 

Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 

Romans 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified 

him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in 

their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 

• They once knew God, everyone does 

- They knew God 

- They glorified him not as God 

- They were not thankful 

- They became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish 

heart was darkened 

Romans 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became 

fools, 

• “Fools” From, “mórainó (3471)” to be foolish. Usage: (a) 

I make foolish, turn to foolishness, (b) I taint, and thus: I 

am tasteless, make useless. 

(Mōrós) – dull, sluggish (“without an edge”); (figuratively) 

acting “stupid or silly,” “insipid, flat.” . . . “to play the 

fool” (WS, 30). See 3474 (mōros) (“moronic”)lacking a grip on 

reality (acting as though “brainless”). 

Romans 1:23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God 

into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and 

191

BOOK OF JUDE 

fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 24 Wherefore God also 

gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own 

hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 

• They gave God up, so, God gave them up …to dishonor their 

own bodies between themselves. 

- Is there a link between sexual perversion and the denial of 

the Living God … Yes! 

Romans 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and 

worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, 

who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26 For this cause God gave them 

up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the 

natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise 

also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned 

in their lust one toward another; men with men working 

that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that 

recompence of their error which was meet. 28 And even as 

they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave 

them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which 

are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, 

fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full 

of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 

Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors 

of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without 

understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, 

implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the judgment of God, 

that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not 

only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

CHAPTER 5 

• The most profound philosophical insights will not preserve 

you from indulgences of the flesh 

• Recognition is not a cure 

• The highest goal of philosophy, ethics, or morality in the 

philosophical sense at best can only give you a consciousness 

of it, but not the power to overcome this 

- It is only done by the Holy Spirit 

• Every headline in America: Is a renewed outbreak of 

ancient sins Romans 1:18-32 

• They once knew God - failed to glorify Him – became vain 

in their reasoning – their hearts darkened 

• God gives them up to uncleanness, vile affections, and a 

reprobate mind. (John 12:39, 40) 

• Remember Lots wife this is the message of the day 

Jude 1:8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, 

despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. 

• Three times: Used Old Testament examples (Genesis 14, 

18, 19) 

- defile the flesh “Walking after their own lusts” 2 Peter 3:3 

- set at naught dominion 

- rail at dignities 

• Defile the flesh “Walking after their own lusts” 2 Peter 3:3 

- Linked to a belief in Evolution 

- Belief in prophecy is antithetical to belief in Evolution 

193

BOOK OF JUDE 

- Creation and The Second coming imply God intervening 

in the history of mankind 

- Today’s commitment to evolution is attempting to undermine 

any belief in the second coming of Jesus Christ 

• Defiling the flesh list is found in (Galatians 5:19-20) 

• “Out of the heart…defiles a man” (Matthew 15:19, 20) 

“They Set At Naught Dominion:” 

• They deny authority: 

• “Denying our only Lord and Master” verse 4 

• “No man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy 

Spirit” (1 Corinthians 12:3) 

• “Every knee shall bow” (Philippians 2:10, 11) 

• God sets up authorities • “New” social order: Kingdom 

Now: not people of the world; “crept into”; Doctrines of 

Demons (1 Timothy 4:1) 

Rail at Dignities: 

• “Rail” = speak evil, revile dignities verses 9,10 

• Speaking in judgment of authorities… 

Revelation 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, 

Now is come salvation and strength, and the kingdom of 

our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our 

brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day 

and night. 

• Satan = “Accuser of the Brethren” 

194

CHAPTER 5 

- Aren’t we doing his work each time we open our mouths 

against the Lord’s chosen vessels? 

• The Ultimate Dignity: Our Lord Jesus Christ! 

• The official state religion of the United States - Secular 

Humanism - attacks Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior 

Jude’s Message: 

• Remember Sodom 

• Remember Lots wife 

- Actual Historical event that the Holy Spirit calls to our 

attention many times 

- Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ Jesus points us to these 

truths so that we can learn some lessons for our spiritual walk

Michael vs. Satan Over the Body of Moses 

9] Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the 

devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring 

against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke 

thee. 

• I believe that the battle for the body of Moses had everything 

and something to do with the “Battle Between the 

Gods.” Moses had bought the Israelites by the Hand of God 

195

BOOK OF JUDE 

out of Egypt, by defeating all of the gods of Egypt in the 

form of plagues that totally humiliated the System of the 

Egyptian gods. I’m sure that if Satan could put Moses’s 

head on a pike the systems of this world could claim that 

it is futile to stand with the God of Israel, because in the 

end you will ultimately be defeated. 

A. Remember, Balak the king of Moab tried to have the prophet 

Balaam curse Israel, only to find the LORD would only allow 

Balaam to bless Israel. 

B. King Og of Bashan, which we associate with the Golan 

Heights, God led the Israelites to kill certain giants before 

entering the Promised Land. 

C. The battle has always been about kings and gods, and 

whether we trust the true God of the Torah or do we trust the 

princes of this world system. 

Genesis 3:1-5 Now the serpent was more subtil than any 

beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said 

unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every 

tree of the garden? 2 And the woman said unto the serpent, 

We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 3 But of the 

fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath 

said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 

4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 

5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your 

eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good 

and evil. 

Luke 4:3 And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of 

God… 

D. Secondly, if there was any way that the body of Moses 

could be re-animated, cloned, or duplicated, can you imagine 

196

CHAPTER 5 

the chaos that could have ensued if the enemy could speak 

through the mouth of a false Messiah/Moses. The Ten Commandments 

could be annulled or revised to totally refuted 

what God originally told Moses. 

I also believe what Dr. Chuck Missler stated, “Jude 1:9 tells 

us that Michael the archangel fought with Satan over the body 

of Moses. Why? Nobody on earth knows besides the Holy 

Spirit. Moses and Elijah (who never died) show up at the 

Transfiguration in Matthew 17. I suspect that these are the Two 

Witnesses of Revelation 11, partly because the Two Witnesses 

have abilities that match miracles that were accomplished 

through Elijah and Moses. It is possible that Moses’ ministry 

on earth is not finished.” 

Blurry Creatures Episode 203 The Bones of Moses with Dr. 

Joel Muddamalle 

Dr. Joel Muddamalle returns to Blurry Creatures and we 

delve into a peculiar story found in the book of Jude about 

a supernatural fight over the body of Moses. Why would the 

location of the body of Moses matter in cosmic space and time? 

What did the ancients believe about the importance of where 

our bodies are buried? Join us for a fascinating conversation 

about the unseen realm and one of the stranger stories in 

scripture. Dr. Joel is currently the Director of Theology and 

Research for Proverbs 31 Ministries and Lysa TerKeurst and is 

passionate about teaching the brilliant truths in Scripture.

A curious fact: It is almost impossible to find a sermon or 

article on this strange dispute between the chief of the holy 

angels and the chief of the wicked spirits. 

“Speak evil of no man” (Titus 3:2). 

Review verse 8: Three Outstanding Marks of Apostasy 

197

BOOK OF JUDE 

• Defiling the flesh 

• Despising dominion 

• Railing at dignities 

Railing judgment is important enough to merit further 

illustration! 

Two mighty angels once disputed over the body of a creature 

of a lower order than they: 

• The angel who was faithful to his Creator said nothing 

against his evil opponent… 

• Even though he himself was doing the work of God in 

obedience to a divine command, and… 

• Even though the Devil who opposed him was seeking to 

thwart God’s purposes! 

Other “New” Revelations Given by Allusion: 

Jude: Prophecy of Enoch verses 14,15 

Peter: Noah as a preacher of righteousness 2 Peter 2:5 

Paul: Words of Christ not in Gospels Acts 20:35 

“More blessed to give than receive” 

Names of the two magicians in Egypt 2 Timothy 3:8 

James: Elijah prayed to stop rain for 3 1/2 years 

(1 Kings 17:1 & 18:1 do not link long drought in Ahab’s reign 

to the prayers of the prophet) 

James 5:17 

Stephen: “another Pharoah” heteros, not allos; 

Moses learned the wisdom of the Egyptians Acts 7 

Michael an Archangel: “Chief Angel”; always in the singular: 

only one. Michael = “who is unto like God?” (vs. Satan, 

which means “Adversary.”) 

198

CHAPTER 5 

• First reference is in Daniel 10:13: After three weeks of 

prayer and fasting, delay and assist (Ephesians 6:12). 

Michael “one of the chief princes” = “the first of the Chief 

Princes.” He is assigned to defeat Satan’s purpose against 

God’s people: 

• Israel Daniel 10:13,21 

• Time of Jacob’s Trouble Daniel 12:1; Revelation 12:7-9 

Summary: 

Satan seeks to defeat God’s program; Michael is God’s 

chosen instrument for overcoming Satan’s purpose. 

Why Are They Both Interested in Moses’ Body? 

• There are over 500 Old Testament references to Moses: 

Only one refers to his body: Deuteronomy 34:5,6. 

Deuteronomy 34:5 So Moses the servant of the LORD died 

there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD. 

6 And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against 

Bethpeor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day. 

7 And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he 

died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated. 8 And 

the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab 

thirty days: so the days of weeping [and] mourning for Moses 

were ended. 

Traditions: 

• The Torah tells us that Moses was buried by God. 

(Deuteronomy 34:6) 

• Targum of Jonathan, on Deuteronomy 34:6: 

199

BOOK OF JUDE 

- The grave of Moses was given into the special custody of 

Michael. 

- Ancient Jewish traditions speak of a contest about Moses’ 

soul at the time of his burial. 

- It is widely believed among Jewish scholars that there was 

a contest 

• Jude tells us about the contest 

Questions: 

• Why did God Himself bury Moses? 

• Why is the place of the sepulcher kept secret? 

• Why is Satan interested in the body of man…this man? 

• Why is Michael dispatched to oppose? 

1. Fetish Risk? The potential of being worshipped 

(Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews, IV:8:49). 

- Satan’s goal is deception and false worship, we find him doing 

that very thing (The Beast “wounded to death” in Revelation 

13:3,4); veneration of the Prophet (Deuteronomy 18:15,19). 

Revelation 13:3,4 And I saw one of his heads as it were 

wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all 

the world wondered after the beast. 4 And they worshipped the 

dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped 

the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to 

make war with him? 

• Veneration of the Prophet 

200

CHAPTER 5 

Deuteronomy 18:15,19 The Lord thy God will raise up unto 

thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like 

unto me; unto him ye shall hearken; 16 According to all that 

thou desiredst of the Lord thy God in Horeb in the day of the 

assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the Lord 

my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die 

not. 17 And the Lord said unto me, They have well spoken that 

which they have spoken. 18 I will raise them up a Prophet from 

among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words 

in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall 

command him. 19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever 

will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my 

name, I will require it of him. 20 But the prophet, which 

shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not 

commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of 

other gods, even that prophet shall die. 

• The Brazen Serpent and King Hezekiah’s reform — 690 

years later (2 Kings18:4). 

2 Kings18:4 He removed the high places, and brake the images, 

and cut down the groves, and brake in pieces the brasen 

serpent that Moses had made: for unto those days the children 

of Israel did burn incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan 

(brazen). 

• God sent a plague among the people (Numbers 21) 

• The Brazen Serpent on a cross was the remedy 

• Jesus made reference to that event

Two Groups of Ideas: 

1. Future Role? Future Roles: Moses and Elijah 

• Two ministries in the Old Testament that were interrupted, 

that were incomplete 

John 1:19 And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent 

priests and Levites from 

Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou? 

• There were three people they thought he might be, three 

were expected in John 1:20-21 

John 1:20-21 And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, 

I am not the Christ.21 And they asked him, What then? Art 

thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And 

he answered, No. 

• Not the Messiah – He told them right up front 

• Elijah – some confusion in Matthew 11:14; 17:10,11 (Jesus 

makes a remark about the spirit of Elijah) 

- John the Baptist was NOT Elijah John 1:21; Matthew 17:11 

• He was Not that prophet – Prophet of Moses Deuteronomy 

18:15-18 

• He was none of them 

202

CHAPTER 5 

Promise of Elijah: 

Malachi 4:5-6 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet 

before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: 6 

And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and 

the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite 

the earth with a curse. 

• John the Baptist came in the spirit of Elijah 

• But there is a day that is coming, that Elijah will come 

before the Great and Terrible Day of the Lord. 

• If you observe Passover in a Jewish Orthodox home, you 

will find that there is an empty chair for Elijah. 

• Messiah 

• Elijah (confusion in Matthew 11:14; 17:10,11); 

John the Baptist NOT Elijah (John 1:21; Matthew 17:11); 

• Moses (Deuteronomy 18:15-18). 

Numbers 20:7-12 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 8 

Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, 

and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their 

eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring 

forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the 

congregation and their beasts drink. 9 And Moses took the rod 

from before the Lord, as he commanded him. 10 And Moses 

and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, 

and he said unto them, Hear now ye rebels; must we fetch you 

water out of this rock? 

• Moses was upset, God was not upset = false witness 

203

BOOK OF JUDE 

• Who’s taking credit for this? 

Numbers 20:11 And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod 

he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, 

and the congregation drank, and their beasts also. 

Moses Ministry: 

• 180 degrees out of step with what God intended 

• Moses is going to be placed into the “penalty box” 

• This is a heavy penalty, he is through, out of the game 

• Bring in the substitute! 

Numbers 20:12 And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron, 

Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the 

children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation 

into the land which I have given them. 

Deuteronomy 3:23 And I besought the Lord at that time, 

saying, 24 O Lord God, thou hast begun to shew thy servant 

thy greatness, and thy mighty hand: for what God is there in 

heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy works, and 

according to thy might? 25 I pray thee, let me go over, and see 

the good land that is beyond Jordan, that goodly mountain, 

and Lebanon. 26 But the Lord was wroth with me for your 

sakes, and would not hear me: and the Lord said unto me, Let 

it suffice thee; speak no more unto me of this matter. 27 Get 

thee up into the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes westward, 

and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold it 

with thine eyes: for thou shalt not go over this Jordan. 28 But 

charge Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him: for 

he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to 

inherit the land which thou shalt see. 29 So we abode in the 

204

CHAPTER 5 

valley over against Bethpeor. 

• Moses blew it, and there was a price to pay. 

• Moses is superseded by Joshua (Numbers 20:7-12 vs. 

Exodus 17); 

• Compare this to a similar event in Exodus 17 

1 Kings 19:13-16 And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he 

wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the 

entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto 

him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah? 14 And he said, I 

have been very jealous for the Lord God of hosts: because the 

children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down 

thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even 

I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away. 15 And the 

Lord said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness 

of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael to be 

king over Syria: 16 And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou 

anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of 

Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room. 17 

And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of 

Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword 

of Jehu shall Elisha slay. 18 Yet I have left me seven thousand 

in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and 

every mouth which hath not kissed him. 

2 Kings 2:1- And it came to pass, when the Lord would take 

up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with 

Elisha from Gilgal. 2 And Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry here, 

I pray thee; for the Lord hath sent me to Bethel. And Elisha 

said unto him, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will 

not leave thee. So they went down to Bethel. 3 And the sons 

205

BOOK OF JUDE 

of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and 

said unto him, Knowest thou that the Lord will take away thy 

master from thy head to day? And he said, Yea, I know it; hold 

ye your peace. 4 And Elijah said unto him, Elisha, tarry here, I 

pray thee; for the Lord hath sent me to Jericho. And he said, As 

the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So 

they came to Jericho. 5 And the sons of the prophets that were 

at Jericho came to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou 

that the Lord will take away thy master from thy head to day? 

And he answered, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace. 6 And 

Elijah said unto him, Tarry, I pray thee, here; for the Lord hath 

sent me to Jordan. And he said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy 

soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And they two went on. 7 And 

fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood to view 

afar off: and they two stood by Jordan. 8 And Elijah took his 

mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and 

they were divided hither and thither, so that they two went 

over on dry ground. 9 And it came to pass, when they were 

gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for 

thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray 

thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me. 10 And he 

said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see 

me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if 

not, it shall not be so. 11 And it came to pass, as they still went 

on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, 

and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah 

went up by a whirlwind into heaven. 12 And Elisha saw it, and 

he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the 

horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold 

of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces. 13 He took 

up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, 

206

CHAPTER 5 

and stood by the bank of Jordan; 14 And he took the mantle 

of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, 

Where is the Lord God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten 

the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went 

over. 15 And when the sons of the prophets which were to view 

at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on 

Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to 

the ground before him. 

• Elijah was superseded by Elisha (1 Kings 19:13-16 @ 

Horeb; 2 Kings 2:11). 

[Elijah had 8 miracles; 

Elisha had 16 miracles, he had a = double portion.] 

Two Witnesses of Revelation 11: 

Revelation 11:3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, 

and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore 

days, clothed in sackcloth. 4 These are the two olive trees, 

and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. 

5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their 

mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt 

them, he must in this manner be killed. 6 These have power to 

shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and 

have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the 

earth with all plagues, as often as they will. 7 And when they 

shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth 

out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and 

shall overcome them, and kill them. 

• Overcome = Prevail

where also our Lord was crucified. 9 And they of the people and 

kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies 

three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies 

to be put in graves. 10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall 

rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one 

to another; because these two prophets tormented them that 

dwelt on the earth. 11 And after three days and an half the 

spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon 

their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. 12 

And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, 

Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; 

and their enemies beheld them. 

Identified 4 Gifts: 

Revelation 11:5-6 And if any man will hurt them, fire 

proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: 

and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. 

6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the 

days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn 

them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often 

as they will. 

Elijah: • Fire from Heaven (1 Kings 18:36,37 @ Carmel); 2 

Kings 1:10,12 (3 times total!); 

• Shut heaven from rain (1 Kings 17:1; James 5:17; cf. Luke 

4:25); 

208

CHAPTER 5 

Moses: • Water to blood (Exodus 7:19); 

• All manner of plagues (Exodus 8-12). 

- Why not Enoch? [“Die but once?”] 

- Hebrews 9:27 is a principle, a denial of reincarnation 

- (Hebrews 9:27 vs. Lazarus, Jairus’ daughter, widow of 

Nain’s son…] 

• Enoch didn’t die but was a Gentile! 

Matthew 17 “Staff Meeting”: 

Matthew 17:1-3 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, 

and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high 

mountain apart, 2 And was transfigured before them: and 

his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the 

light. 3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and 

Elias talking with him. 

• Jesus, Moses, and Elijah had a staff meeting! 

• How did they know that this was Moses and Elijah? 

- Nothing tells us that we don’t know how they knew 

- But they all recognized them somehow 

Matthew 17:4-5 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, 

Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make 

here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and 

one for Elias. 5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud 

overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which 

said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear 

ye him. 

209

BOOK OF JUDE 

• Jesus spoke of His Crucifixion (Luke 9:31); His Sufferings 

and Glory (1 Peter 1:10-12); and His Second Coming (2 

Peter 1:15-18). 

Luke 9:30-31 And, behold, there talked with him two men, 

which were Moses and Elias: 

31 Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he 

should accomplish at Jerusalem. 

• It’s a prophetic discussion between Jesus, Moses, and 

Elijah 

1 Peter 1:10-12 Of which salvation the prophets have enquired 

and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that 

should come unto you: 11 Searching what, or what manner of 

time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it 

testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that 

should follow. 12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto 

themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which 

are now reported unto you by them that have preached the 

gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; 

which things the angels desire to look into. 

• If you study this passage he is speaking about the event 

between Jesus, Moses, and Elijah on the Mount of transfiguration. 

2 Peter 1:15-18 Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able 

after my decease to have these things always in remembrance. 

16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when 

we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord 

210

CHAPTER 5 

Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17 For he 

received from God the Father honour and glory, when there 

came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my 

beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 18 And this voice 

which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in 

the holy mount. 

• Not only did Moses and Elijah appear with Christ 

- But the discussion had to do with the Second Coming of Christ 

“Wetmore Hypothesis Mount Pisgah”: 

Is this mountain the same location as Moses’ sepulchre and 

Elijah’s departure? 

• Elijah’s translation across Jordan, east of Jericho taken up 

by a whirlwind in the valley at the foot of Mount Pisgah 

(2 Kings 2:1-14); 

• Moses’ sepulcher at Beth-Peor, at the base of Mount Nebo 

near the foot of Mount Pisgah (Deuteronomy 34:1,6) 

• The Transfiguration was not in Galilee (Mark 9:30). Could 

it be the same Mount Pisgah? (cf. Matthew 17:20). 

• Is it possible that this staff meeting with Jesus took place 

on the very mountain which Moses saw last and where 

Elijah was there last? 

Matthew 17:20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your 

unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain 

of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove 

hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall 

be impossible unto you. 

211

BOOK OF JUDE 

• They just come from the Mountain of Transfiguration 

- That’s the mountain that he was pointing to 

- What mountain was Jesus speaking of Mount Pisgah? 

• Everyone believes that the Mount of Transfiguration was 

in Galilee 

Mark 9:30 And they departed thence, and passed through 

Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it. 

• They had just come down from the Mount of Transfiguration 

• They couldn’t leave Galilee to go to Galilee 

• They were NOT already in the gallery 

• They were east of the Jordan, in Moab, not in Galilee 

• Elijah’s translation was across the Jordan, east of Jericho 

(2 Kings 2:1-14) 

• Moses’ sepulcher at Beth-Peor, at the base of Mount Nebo 


Moses’ sepulcher is at Beth-Peor, at the base of Mount Nebo 


Jude’s Point: 

• Michael is on a mission for the Lord contesting the body 

of Moses against Satan 

• Even then Michael does not bring a railing accusation 

against Satan 

• This has to be the most extreme example Jude could have 

presented 

212

CHAPTER 5 

- Not really about Revelation 11 - the two witnesses 

- Discussed Michael, Satan, and the Moses issue 

- Link between Moses’ body and his future role 

- Two witnesses will surface representing the Law and the 

Prophets in a uniquely Jewish ministry 

• Satan understands that, and he is doing all that he can do 

to thwart that mission 

• Michael was sent to hold the devil back 

• There are these casual songs within the Christian community 

that do not treat Satan as a dignity 

• Michael dared not bring railing accusations against him 

- We shouldn’t make him bigger than he is, 

- We shouldn’t treat him trivially 

• We also shouldn’t fear him only because “1 John 4:4 

Greater is he who is in us than he that is in the world.” 

Conclusion: 

Example of Michael = This is a terrible warning against “evil 

speaking.” 

• Attacking God’s people;• Speaking accusations against 

institutions that honor the Lord and are honored by Him 

• These are acts that point to a falling away from the teaching 

of the Bible rather than to a subjection to it. 

• Contending for the faith is one thing (verse 3), being 

contentious is another (Titus 3:9). 

• In the mouth of two witnesses, every word shall be established: 

213

BOOK OF JUDE 

“The Lord rebuke thee, O Satan…” (Zechariah 3:2). 

• Michael’s words were restricted to his adversary alone. 

• If words are publicized, no one can tell how far it will go, 

how twisted it will become, or what harm it will ultimately 

do. 

Verse 10: Like Creatures Without Reason: 

10] But these speak evil of those things which they know not: 

but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things 

they corrupt themselves. 

• One thought linking verses 8,9 & 10: Railing at Dignities. 

• The archangel, although dealing with Satan himself, and 

possessing a more perfect knowledge than ours, dared not 

to speak in judgment. 

• “But these rail at whatsoever thing they know not.” 

• An apostate does not hesitate to speak out in condemnation 

concerning matters about which he does not know 

enough to make him a judge over others. 

“Rail” = Greek root, blasphemeo, transliterates “blaspheme” 

means to 

“vilify” “speak reproachfully” or “calumniate.” 

• What are the “things they know not” (cf. Revelation 13:6; 

1 Peter 3:16; 2 Peter 2:12…). Two words for “knowing”: 

• “Oida” = deeper knowledge; 

• “epistao” = perception by animal senses and faculties. 

• Unreasoning beasts have knowledge of the natural world, 

but only a superficial, if any, understanding. 

214

CHAPTER 5 

- Marks of an apostasy, in verse 10, in reverse order (vs. verse 

8). 

• verse 8: “defile” = to dye, or stain 

• verse 10: “corrupted” = spoiled, or ruined (cf. Ephesians 

4:22) 

• The apostate limits himself to mere natural knowledge, 

rails at the truth, and finally perished eternally in his own 

corruption. 

Next Time: Downward acceleration highlighted in verse 11, 

the heart of the epistle’s structure: 

• Midway between illustrations from the supernatural realm 

(verse 9) and from the natural realm (verses 12,13) 

- preceded by apostasy in history, and followed by apostasy in 

prophecy. 

- It makes personal, individual examples to follow those 

already set forth in corporate examples. 

Homework: Read about 

• Cain (Genesis 4) 

- Why was Able a Shepherd? 

- What made Abel’s offering acceptable over Cain’s offering? 

• Balaam (Numbers 22-25,31) 

- Balaam was a prophet, how much of A prophet? He prophesied 

the Christmas Star 

215

BOOK OF JUDE 

- Greedy, he prophecies for hire 

- We have the error of Balaam, the doctrine of Balaam, and 

so forth 

- He shows up in the Book of Revelation in a letter by our 

Lord to the churches 

- Because Cain and Balaam do mistakes that you and I are 

very likely to do also 

• Korah (Numbers 16) 

216

6 

Chapter 6 

Chapter 6 Jude - Verses 11-13 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDkVMRs1zSY 

11] Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and 

ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished 

in the gainsaying of Core. 

Overview: 

• Some plain, blunt, tough details 

• There is no hope for apostates to be found in all of the book 

of Jude 

• Their doom is sure 

To them is reserved the blackness of darkness forever Hebrews 

6:4-6 

• Words are in past tense, they have already perished 

• All of the amended ability of history can’t be changed 

217

BOOK OF JUDE 

• Past tense is intended to connotate its certainty 

Prophetic apostates are still future, still to happen 

- Their doom is sure 

2 Peter 2:20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions 

of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour 

Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, 

the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21 For 

it had been better for them not to have known the way of 

righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the 

holy commandment delivered unto them. 22 But it is happened 

unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned 

to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her 

wallowing in the mire. 

• As a kid, seeing that when a dog gets upset and throws up, 

but to see him turn around and lap it up is disgusting. 

• How do you think God feels after we know the truth fall 

into error? 

• Like this swine of 2 Peter 2:20-22, they were never true 

sheep of the Good Shepherd 

- The word “knowledge” here is “head trip” not experiential 

trip 

Three Men From the Past: 

• This verse is the heart of the epistle’s structure. Midway 

between illustrations from the supernatural realm (v. 9) 

and from the natural realm (verses 12,13). 

• It is preceded by apostasy in history and is followed 

by apostasy in prophecy. This verse also supplements 

218

CHAPTER 6 

previous corporate examples with personal, individual 

examples. 

Apostasy is not confined to one class of person: 

• Cain a tiller of the soil 

• Balaam a prophet 

• Korah a prince in Israel 

Individually, each speaks of a particular aspect of what it 

means to fall away from 

the truth; collectively, they present a complete process: 

First, they enter upon a wrong path; 

they run riotously down that path; 

finally, they perish at its end. 

• There is no hope for apostates to be found in all of Jude. 

Their doom is sure. To them is reserved the blackness of 

darkness forever (Hebrews 6:4-6). 

• Like the swine of Mark 5:13, they run violently down a 

steep place into God’s wrath; 

• Once they come under the power of the “doctrine of 

demons” (1 Timothy 4:1)., they turn from the truth (John 

14:6). 

• These three men commit individual sins 

- Jude rolls them all together to portray a process that all 

apostates go through 

• They knowingly choose the way of Cain for the way of 

Christ; 

219

BOOK OF JUDE 

• They choose the error of Balaam for the truth of Christ; 

• And the perishing of Korah for the life of Christ. 

Jude 1:11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of 

Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, 

and perished in the gainsaying of Core. 

The Literal rendering of Jude 1:11: “In the way of Cain, they 

went away, and in the wandering of Balaam for reward they 

rushed headlong, and in the rebellion of Korah they perished.” 

Way of Cain: 

Proverbs 16:25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, 

but the end thereof [are] the ways of death. 

Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a 

man, but the end thereof [are] the ways of death. 

• Our natural judgment is not a reliable guide for spiritual 

things 

- The creation shows the Creator, and His handiwork 

- The Heavens declare the glory of God 

• From the creation we know there is a Designer, an Architect, 

a personality behind all that we see 

• The creation cannot communicate His redemptive plan 

• Redemption is God’s greatest work; it occupies the most 

space in all of the Bible 

- Creation has maybe a handful of chapters in the Bible 

- Redemption, most of Genesis, Exodus, Ruth, the Gospels, 

the whole New Testament, Revelation 

220

CHAPTER 6 

• Which work cost God the most? 

- God breathes into existence entire universes 

• The creation we see is under the curse 

• Redemption is revealed supernaturally by his Word 

Genesis 3:23 Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the 

garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. 

24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the 

garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned 

every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. 

Genesis 4:1-2 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, 

and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the 

Lord. 2 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a 

keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. 

• Don’t presume that one calling is above another, there are 

documents claiming that shepherding was a higher call 

this is nonsense 

Genesis 4:3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain 

brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord. 

• That seems natural enough he’s a farmer, he’s tilling the 

soil, he grows crops, and he brings the fruit of the ground 

as an offering to the Lord 

Genesis 4:4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his 

flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel 

and to his offering: 5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had 

221

BOOK OF JUDE 

not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance 

fell. 

• There’s a concept in business that you ought to know your 

market, if you are selling a product you ought to know 

what your buyer prefers 

Genesis 4:6 And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? 

and why is thy countenance fallen? 

What Was Cain’s Mistake? 

- He did not deny the existence of God; was he a Believer? 

Yes! There is scholastic traditions with reasons to believe that 

in this time the way offering was accepted by God was accepted 

literally. Not through the pastor or through the Church or the 

priesthood. Fire came down from heaven and consumed it! 

- He did not refuse to worship Him; 

- He was not in rebellion 

- He simply failed to satisfy God by approaching Him on the 

revealed basis of vicarious atonement. 

• Cain: a sacrifice of works = a setting aside of God’s Word. 

Our “Way of Cain” 

• “Christians” have those same qualities… 

• How do we know God’s attitude towards our approach is 

any different than God’s reaction to Cain’s? 

The Hall of Faith: 

Hebrews 11:1-3 Now faith is the substance of things hoped 

for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders 

222

CHAPTER 6 

obtained a good report. 3 Through faith we understand that 

the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things 

which are seen were not made of things which do appear. 4 

By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than 

Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God 

testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. 

• What was there about Abel’s offering? 

- Made by faith 

- “Faith comes by hearing…” Romans 10:17 

• Abel had heard something not detailed in the summary in 

Genesis 

Abel’s offering was in response to a commandment 

Genesis 4:1-7…Abel, a sacrifice by faith 

• These insights are not open to the casual readers of the 

book of Genesis 

Genesis 3:7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they 

knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, 

and made themselves aprons. 

• Adam walked with God, Adam was perfect, from the 

Psalms and some other places in the scripture we can draw 

the Biblical inference … 

• They had been clothed with light before they sinned 

• After they sinned, they were no longer righteous, they lost 

that covering, what they did caused them to realize that 

223

BOOK OF JUDE 

they had lost that covering 

• By being conscious of that they attempted to clothe themselves 

• So, they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves 

aprons 

Genesis 3:20 And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because 

she was the mother of all living. 21 Unto Adam also and to his 

wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them. 

• Adam and Eve had inadequate garments 

• God made coats of skins and clothed them 

• The fact that God personally did that should get our 

attention 

• If we just had Genesis 3:21, we would be out on a limb 

- But if we take the rest of the Torah, Exodus and the Passover 

lamb, and Leviticus and wrap it all together 

• We discover that from Genesis 3 through Revelation 19 

- God consistently presents the principle that without the 

shedding of blood there is no remission of sin. “without the 

shedding of blood there is no remission” (Hebrews 9:22). 

• As we really understand the whole scripture 

- We recognize a preoccupation with shed blood 

• We miss the vivid object lessons of Judaism in the Old 

Testament 

224

CHAPTER 6 

- God, throughout Israel’s history ordained rituals 

• The slaughtering of animals, shedding their blood 

• The Tabernacle’s nickname is “The House of Blood “ 

• The Temple had special aqueducts for the blood to flow 

• All of the barbaric ritual is God’s way of showing us that 

sin is serious, that sin has to be paid for 

- Not by the blood of sheep and goats, that’s just the model a 

tutorial 

- It all points to the sacrifice on the cross 

• I’m suggesting to you that the cross was preached in 

Genesis 3:20-21 

• Do you notice why Adam called Eve the mother of all living? 

Because of these coats of skin 

• Suggesting the cross was preached in Genesis 3:21 

• Some believe the altar was at the gate 

- They were outside the garden but instructed to bring offerings 

to the altar 

• God instituted the Levitical system in Genesis 3:21 

- Elaboration is found in Genesis 22, (Genesis 22 is the most 

fascinating Prophecy Study in the Bible) when Abraham offers 

Isaac, and 2,000 years later another Father would be offering 

His Son on that hill and Abraham knew that. (Hebrews 3; 

Romans 4) 

• This presumes and amplifies a sacrifice long before Moses 

225

BOOK OF JUDE 

• God instituted the concept of faith offering the blood 

sacrifice as prophetically pointing to Jesus Christ, as the 

earliest Adam and Eve. Now we can look at Cain with much 

more insight 

- “Without the shedding of blood there is no remission” 

(Hebrews 9:22). 

• Cain was a tiller of the soil - no problems there 

• Abel was a tender of the sheep - we have a problem with 

that 

- They didn’t eat meat, not until after the flood, meat was 

forbidden 

• What are they doing raising sheep? 

- Wool for clothing? Offerings? 

• Able’s offering was by faith (Hebrews 11:4) 

• What’s Cain doing then? 

- He failed to satisfy God by approaching Him on the revealed 

basis of vicarious atonement 

• God had ordained then and still does today tell us that the 

only way we can approach God is by the shed blood of Jesus 

Christ 

• Cain didn’t do that, he brought the works of his own hands 

• The way of Cain: to blaspheme God, declaring His Salvation 

incomplete by trying to add to it 

226

CHAPTER 6 

There are two ways to get to heaven 

Plan A Is by works 

Plan B Is, hey we can’t do it we need help 

We can’t make it by our own efforts 

- “There is a way that seems right to a man, but the end 

there are all the ways of 

death” Proverbs 16:25 

The basis for our approach to God is His completed work on 

our behalf 

Our attempts to add to that is blasphemy 

- Good works are not an attempt to earn anything 

- Attempting to earn a position with the Lord declares the 

position you have by faith in Christ is inadequate 

• Cain perished because of it; he was made an example for 

us to avoid 

• God wants offerings by faith, not works 

That’s what the way of Cain is all about 

- The blasphemy of God by declaring His salvation is incomplete 

through our attempts to add something to it 

• We can’t add anything to the completed work of Jesus 

Christ on the cross-no matter what we do 

• Faith versus works reverberates throughout all of scripture 

- It starts right here with Cain and Abel 

- Both were believers; both brought offerings; one was saved, 

one was not saved. One followed God’s instructions, one chose 

his own way, and it didn’t work 

227

BOOK OF JUDE 

Error of Balaam: 

Greek Balaam - “ran riotously,” “have been poured forth,” 

“rampage.” 

• They are lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God (2 

Timothy 3:4). 

Balaam: A prophet greedy for gold, hired by the enemies of the 

people of God to curse them; warned not to by God (Numbers 

22:12). 

- Balaam was a prophet, he was not a false prophet, he had 

a gift, 

Numbers 24:15-17 And he took up his parable, and said, 

Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes 

are open hath said: 16 He hath said, which heard the words 

of God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, which saw 

the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having 

his eyes open: 17 I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold 

him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a 

Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of 

Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth. 

• Some believe that this is the Christmas Star 

• Balaam has some prophecies, some important 

- He is best known for his major “screw ups” 

- Greedy for gold, hired by the enemies of the people of God 

to curse them; warned not to by God (Numbers 22:12) 

Numbers 22:1-33 

• Who is the Angel of the LORD? 

228

CHAPTER 6 

- He allows himself to be worshipped 

• Most believe that the Angel of the LORD is the Lord Jesus 

Christ (Joshua 5) 

- Old Testament appearance, the pre-incarnate Jesus Christ 

• Not satisfied with this (sufficient) answer, he makes a 

further request to go, and is given permission but not 

allowed to utter anything but blessings. Basically he was a 

hireling. 

- Moses’ summary (Deuteronomy 23:4,5). 

Deuteronomy 23:1-5 He that is wounded in the stones, 

or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the 

congregation of the Lord. 

2 A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the 

Lord; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the 

congregation of the Lord. 

• Link verse 2 to Ruth 4:18-22 

Deuteronomy 23:3 An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter 

into the congregation of the Lord; even to their tenth generation 

shall they not enter into the congregation of the Lord for 

ever: 4 Because they met you not with bread and with water 

in the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt; and because 

they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of 

Mesopotamia, to curse thee. 5 Nevertheless the Lord thy God 

would not hearken unto Balaam; but the Lord thy God turned 

the curse into a blessing unto thee, because the Lord thy God 

229

BOOK OF JUDE 

loved thee. 

• Deprived of rewards promised by Balak, King of Moab, 

Balaam’s covetous heart conceived an evil thought: 

- As you recall, they were camped by the borders of Moab. 

• If he could counsel the women of Midian and Moab to 

tempt the Israelites and cause them to sin, 

• God would have to punish His people: 

- Balak’s purpose would be served, and Balaam would be rich. 

• The seduction worked (Numbers 25:2,3; 31:16) 

- How did they get that insight? From Balaam’s council. 

Numbers 31:15-17 And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved 

all the women alive? 

16 Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the 

counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the Lord in the 

matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation 

of the Lord. 17 Now therefore kill every male among the little 

ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with 

him. 

The Error of Balaam for Hire: 

• “Error of Balaam” Jude 11 

- Natural reasoning = supposed a righteous God had to curse 

the evident immorality in Israel 

230

CHAPTER 6 

• Sacrificing of eternal riches for temporal gain. Lust for the 

“pleasures of sin for a season”; greed for the “treasures 

of Egypt” (Hebrews 11:25; Mark 8:36). Demas: “Having 

loved this present world” (2 Timothy 4:10). Cf. “Error 

of Balaam” (Jude 11): natural reasoning = supposed a 

righteous God had to curse the evident immorality in 

Israel. 

• “Way of Balaam” (2 Peter 2:15): 

- A Hireling = making a “market” for his gift. 

• “Doctrine of Balaam” (Revelation 2:14): 

Revelation 2:14 But I have a few things against thee, because 

thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who 

taught Balac to cast a stumbling block before the children 

of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit 

fornication. 

- Spiritual unchastity; marriage with the world. 

• Balaam took the way of Cain, 

- Lived riotously afterward, he got his reward from Balak 

- But perished miserably with the enemies of God at last 

(Joshua 13:22). 

• Sacrificing of eternal riches for temporal gain 

• Lust for the “pleasures of sin for a season” 

• Greed for the “treasures of Egypt” (Hebrews 11:25; Mark 

8:36) 

• Demas: “Having loved this present world” (2 Timothy 

231

BOOK OF JUDE 

4:10) 

• The passion for worldly enticements to interfere with your 

eternal riches 

• You know many times people say, “Well what’s wrong 

with doing X?” 

• That’s not the question, what’s right about it? 

• • The issue is does it get in the way of your relationship with 

Jesus Christ? Things don’t have to be great momentous 

sins to separate you from God. 

• A light touch on the things of this world, that’s our 

challenge 

Rebellion of Korah: 

(Note: Not in chronological order…(Numbers 16) 

- Chronologically it should have been Cain, Korah, and 

Balaam 

• Jude is illustrating a process that occurs 

- The Way of Cain 

- The Error of Balaam 

- The Rebellion of Korah 

• In your Bible it may say, the Gainsaying of Korah 

• “Gainsaying”: Greek antilogia = “against the word.” 

• Korah was a Levite and a cousin to Moses (Exodus 6:18- 

21). 

• Under his leadership, He and his associates, Dathan and 

Abiram, 

- Rejected God’s appointed mediator Moses… and went down 

232

CHAPTER 6 

alive into the pit (Numbers 16:31-3). 

• They rebelled against the type of Christ (Hebrews 3); 

• They dared to think “all are holy” (Numbers 16:3): 

Numbers 16:1-3 Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of 

Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons 

of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men: 

2 And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of 

Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous 

in the congregation, men of renown: 

3 And they gathered themselves together against Moses and 

against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, 

seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and 

the Lord is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves 

above the congregation of the Lord? 

• Are all are sons of God? (Genesis 3:5) 

- “Ye are of your father the devil…” (John 8:44) 

• That was Jesus comment on the Brotherhood of Man 

• Is a mediator needed? Moses was a type 

- Jesus said, “I am the way the truth and the life, no man comes 

to the father but by me” (John 14:6); 

• Only One Way 

• Is the Cross unnecessary? 3 times! (Matthew 26:36-44); 

- Gethsemane means “The oil press” 

233

BOOK OF JUDE 

- He took with Him Peter, James, and John. Judas was gone 

to betray Him. 

- How many were left behind? Eight, how many were left in 

the Ark eight. 

Matthew 26:36-44 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a 

place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye 

here, while I go and pray yonder. 37 And he took with him Peter 

and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and 

very heavy. 38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding 

sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. 

39 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, 

saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from 

me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as 

thou wilt. 40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth 

them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch 

with me one hour? 41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into 

temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. 

42 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, 

O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except 

I drink it, thy will be done. 43 And he came and found them 

asleep again: for their eyes were heavy. 44 And he left them, 

and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the 

same words. 

- If there is any other way for anybody ever to get into heaven 

other than the way of the cross, did Jesus Christ died in vain 

and his prayer was not answered 

• We like to think the way is much bigger than that 

- “Narrow is the way and straight is the gate that leads to 

salvation. But broad is the gate that leads to destruction.” 

234

CHAPTER 6 

(Matthew 7:13-14) 

• Korah and the guys that rebelled against Moses didn’t feel 

that Moses had any special ordination 

- They are about to get a lesson on Moses ordination 

Numbers 16:28-33 And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know 

that the Lord hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not 

done them of mine own mind. 29 If these men die the common 

death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all 

men; then the Lord hath not sent me. 30 But if the Lord make 

a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them 

up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick 

into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have 

provoked the Lord. 31 And it came to pass, as he had made an 

end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder 

that was under them: 32 And the earth opened her mouth, and 

swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that 

appertained unto Korah, and all their goods. 

33 They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive 

into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished 

from among the congregation. 

• Jude places Korah third; by doing that Cain, Balaam, and 

Korah describe a process 

- They choose a way 

- They rush headlong into that way 

- They perish at the end 

• The craftsmanship of the book of Jude 

235

BOOK OF JUDE 

- The Holy Spirit skillfully picks every word and has structured 

this precisely 

Woe unto Apostates (Luke 10:1-16). 

All three statements in Jude 11 are in the past tense: those 

who go the way of Cain … have already perished. 

The Coming Grand Apostasy (2 Thessalonians 2:10-12) 

• All of what Jude is talking about is prophetic 

2 Thessalonians 2:1-5 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the 

coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together 

unto him, 2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, 

neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that 

the day of Christ is at hand. 3 Let no man deceive you by any 

means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling 

away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 

4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called 

God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the 

temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 5 Remember 

ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 

2 Thessalonians 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, 

whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and 

shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 

• This is a flash future 

2 Thessalonians 2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the 

working of Satan with 

all power and signs and lying wonders, 

• This guy is not a phony, he’s not a charlatan, he is not 

236

CHAPTER 6 

pretending 

- Some Greek words used of the miracles in the Gospels 

2 Thessalonians 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness 

in them that perish; because they received not the 

love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this 

cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should 

believe a lie: 

• Not just a lie, they will believe the lie 

- The ultimate lie, this is a definite article 

2 Thessalonians 2:12 That they all might be damned who 

believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 

• The only way to get through this is to be supernaturally 

selected by God and empowered by the Holy Spirit 

• There is an ultimate super apostasy coming 

- We are very close, we are on the threshold of seeing it happen 

• All three statements in June 11 are past tense 

- Those who go the way of Cain 

- Run greedily after the error of Balaam 

- Participate in the rebellion of Korah 

• Have already perished 

Jude 12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they 

feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they 

237

BOOK OF JUDE 

are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit 

withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; 

Hidden Rocks: 

“Spots” From “spilas (4694)”, a ledge of rock (over which 

the sea dashes), i.e. a reef. 

• Greek: Reefs below the ocean, threatening safe navigation 

- Rocks that are known are less of a problem…! These guys 

came to eat and to plunder. There are people hidden among us 

who are really not of the Body of Christ 

“Feasts of charity” 

• Agape feasts; abuses rebuked 1 Corinthians 11:21 

- Some began to “pasture” themselves 

Clouds Without Water: 

• Deceit and discouragement = thirsty (Proverbs 25:14) 

- Opposite of Luke 12:54 

• “Without water” = “dry places” where evil spirits are said 

to wander (Matthew 12:43) 

• “Carried aside by winds”; winds = ruach (Old Testament) = 

pneuma (New Testament) John 3:8 (Same word for Spirit) 

- They are bondslaves to Satan 

- Clouds never go where it pleases, it goes where the winds 

carry it 

Romans 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves 

238

CHAPTER 6 

servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether 

of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? 

Jude 13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own 

shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of 

darkness for ever. 

Autumn Trees: 

• Greek “autumn” + “to wane” = Late Autumn Trees (fruitless) 

• Harvest is ripe 

- Believers are to be gathered into His barn (Matthew 13:30) 

- Others are rooted up (Matthew 15:13) 

- Transgressors are rooted out (Proverbs 2:22) 

• “Twice Dead” 

- Dead to the fruit of profession (1 Timothy 5:6) 

- Dead to the fruit of possession = second death (Revelation 

20:14) 

Revelation 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake 

of fire. This is the second death. 

• All of us have two deaths it’s important in what order they 

come, our second death was taken care of at the cross. So, 

the death that remains has no fear for us. 

• Tragic for those who’s got it in the wrong order, the second 

death is final 

• Contrasted to these trees are the trees planted by the rivers 

of living waters Psalms 1:3; Jeremiah 17: 7,8 

239

BOOK OF JUDE 

Wild Waves: 

• Sea = People who do not know God (Isaiah 57:20-21) 

-Idiomatically the sea is always used of humanity it’s crass, 

self-serving, unhappy, state 

• God has imposed limits on the sea (Psalms 104:9) 

• Nothing shall hurt you Luke 10:19 

• All to account to His glory 1 Peter 2:12 

• He rules, stills, the sea Psalms 89:9 

- He rebuked the sea Matthew 8:26 Who’s causing that storm? 

Satan 

- In the New World, New Heaven New Earth, “there was no 

more sea” Revelation 21:1 

- Speaking idiomatically, there’s something negative consistently 

used about that idiom, in any case these apostates 

are raging waves of the sea foaming out their own shame 

Wandering Stars: 

The phrase implied here is … 

• Meteorite: Falling star 

- Illumination derived 

- Flashing brilliantly for a brief time 

• Stars in orbits are ordained by their Creator 

- Or destined for the blackness of (outer) darkness forever 

Matthew 8:12 

240

CHAPTER 6 

• Black holes 

- Certain stars have no light because light can’t escape from it 

- Draws all into it because of the intense gravitational pull, 

even light can’t leave it 

- It is believed that within them “Time does not exist” 

- “These are wandering stars not in orbit, without ordination 

to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.“ 

- These guys spiritually speaking is destined for a black hole

Homework for Next Time: “Methuselah was the oldest man 

in the Bible; yet he died before his father…”? (Genesis 5). 

Enoch 

242

7 

Chapter 7 


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFTIt4InnR0 

14] And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of 

these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of 

his saints, 

15] To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that 

are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they 

have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which 

ungodly sinners have spoken against him. 

Prophecy Before the Flood: 

• The earliest recorded prophecy by a prophet 

- Genesis 3:15 is a prophecy uttered by the LORD Himself as 

He declared war on Satan 

• If it were not for Jude, we would know practically nothing 

243

BOOK OF JUDE 

about prophecy before the flood. 

• We know of cities, cattle raising, fine arts, education, and 

manufacturing (Genesis 4:17-22). 

- But prophecy doesn’t show up there 

• Enoch is the only prophet whose words are preserved for 

us 

- [Words similar to Jude’s appear in the apocryphal Book of 

Enoch, a patchwork of fanciful and unscriptural material.] 

Review: Examples of “New Revelations” by Way of Allusions 

Jude: Michael’s dispute over the body of Moses Jude 9 

Peter: Noah as a preacher of righteousness 2 Peter 2:5 

Paul: Names of the two magicians in Egypt 2 Timothy 3:8 

Words of Christ not in Gospels Acts 20:35 

James: Elijah prayed to stop rain for 3 1/2 years James 5:17 

• Don’t get uncomfortable with the idea that the Holy Spirit 

has preserved this truth even though the form of it is an 

allusion to something the writer presumes you already 

know 

Enoch: 

Enoch: “Seventh from Adam.” 

- Adam, Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared, Enoch 

- vs. there was another Enoch, (bad apple) son of Cain in 

Genesis 4:17 

• Genesis 4:26 has a misunderstanding in it 

244

CHAPTER 7 

• Descendants of Cain Genesis 4:1-24 

- Some names are used often, common names at the time 

• The birth of Seth is found in Genesis 4:25 

Genesis 4:26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; 

and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the 

name of the LORD. 

Call on the Name of the LORD: 

• Didn’t Abel and Adam, and others call on the Name of the 

Lord? 

• What happened in verse 26 with the son of Seth? 

- It’s slightly mistranslated 

“Then men began to profane the name of the Lord” (Genesis 

4:26) 

• Genesis 4:26 International Standard Version Seth also 

fathered a son, whom he named Enosh. At that time, 

profaning the name of the LORD began. 

• “Then men began to profane the name of the Lord” 

(Genesis 4:26). 

- 19 commentaries out of 20 don’t bring this out 

• In the Hebrew text it reads - “Call something by the name 

of the Lord…” 

- They “Called something else the name of the Lord” 

245

BOOK OF JUDE 

- They are profaning the name of the Lord 

Ancient texts read as follows… 

• Targum of Onkelos: “…desisted from praying in the 

name…” 

• Targum of Jonathan: “Surnamed their idols in the name… 

” 

• Kimchi, Rashi, & other ancient Jewish commentators 

agree 

• Jerome indicated this opinion of many Jews of his day. 

• Maimonides, Commentary on the Mishna (Is a constituent 

part of the Talmud), A.D. 1168, ascribes the origin of 

idolatry to the days of Enos. 

Before the Flood: 

• We have a very myopic, naïve view of the period before 

Genesis 6 

• We have many misconceptions about Adam & Eve and their 

descendants 

- Adam probably lived to see 5 million people, his offspring 

• Make a chart and lay out their life spans and calculate how 

many children each person could possibly have 

- Recognize that their long life spans can be taken literally 

- Their life spans also overlapped by many years 

- In the time of Noah there were 5-7 key people still alive 

- Shem, the son of Noah, lived 54 years after Abram was 

born 

246

CHAPTER 7 

• So, you get a whole different perspective of this early era 

because of these extremely long-life longevities 

• By the end of Genesis 4 we find apostasy, rebellion against 

the Name of God 

- Adam and Eve and there forebearers lived outside of the 

Garden, but not far away. 

• We jump to a lot of conclusions because the record we have 

is such a summary. 

Four Hebrew words for“Man”: 

Adam “origin” the “dust of the adamah” (ground) 

Ish “sex” a male 

Geber “strength” a mighty man 

Enosh “infirmities” a physically mortal; character - incurable 

a loser (used over 500 times) 

Enos = frail, weak, sickly, incurable: 

• In his days men began to profane the name of the Lord, 

when you understand that, that gives rise to the raising of 

a prophet and that’s where Enoch comes in 

Enosh: 

• Third from Adam: Enosh is the third from Adam: Adam, 

Seth, Enosh, he’s Adams grandson 

• Third from Moses (grandson) Jonathan, was the first 

idolatrous priest in Israel (Judges 18:30) 

• Son of Seth: Destroys the “line of Seth” theory of Genesis 

6. If the line of Seth was so good, let’s take a look at his 

247

BOOK OF JUDE 

first son. That was “Enosh”, you see that whole theory is 

based on a misunderstanding of verse 4:26 And to Seth, 

to him also there was born a son; and he called his name 

Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the Lord. 

Genesis 5:21 And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat 

Methuselah: 22 And Enoch walked with God after he begat 

Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: 

23 And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty 

and five years: 24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was 

not; for God took him. 

Hebrews 11:5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should 

not see death; and was not found, because God had translated 

him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he 

pleased God. 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: 

for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he 

is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. 

• Enoch did not die, he was translated 

• There are two people who did not see death 

- Enoch was one of them Genesis 5:21-24; Hebrews 11:5-6 

- Elijah is the other one 2 Kings 2:1-14 

• Enoch was translated midway between Adam and Abraham; 

Enoch was Gentile 

• Elijah, midway between Abraham and Christ; Elijah was 

Jewish 

• Both of these men ministered in times of deep apostasy. 

• Enoch walked with God “by Faith” (Hebrews 11:5). 

• This was not a casual stroll 

248

CHAPTER 7 

- (verse 22 continues in verse 24: 300 years later!) 

• That walk involved several things 

- Agreement; surrender, witness for 300 years (Amos 3:3) 

- Enoch had to surrender to God every day 

- That leads to a witness down through the millennia of time 

- This privilege is available today! (Colossians 2:6; Galatians 

5:25; 2 Corinthians 5:7) 

Colossians 2:6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus 

the Lord, so walk ye in him: 

Galatians 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the 

Spirit. 

2 Corinthians 5:7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) 

• Enoch’s earliest prophecy was not these words in Jude, 

- But the name of his son Methuselah (Noah’s grandfather): 

• Enoch had a revelation 

• Enoch had a son 

• Enoch then walked with God, and the result was this 

prophecy 

• Methuselah: “Muth (4191)” = “to die” (found 125 times 

in the Old Testament; 8 times in Genesis 5 alone) 

Shalak = “to send forth” (used over 60 times in Old Testament: 

send judgment on the earth, plagues of Egypt, famine, fire, 

pestilence of prophets, etc.) 

• MuthShalak makes up the word, Methuselah 

249

BOOK OF JUDE 

Names in the Bible have meaning: 

• Eve = life-giver; mother of all living (Genesis 3:20) 

• Cain = acquired (Genesis 4:4) 

• Seth = appointed (Genesis 4:25) 

• Abraham = father of many nations (Genesis 17:5) 

• Enoch = teaching; initiation; or commencement. 

• Methuselah = When he dies it shall be sent 

• When Methuselah died, judgment was sent. Jewish tradition 

says that he died seven days before the Flood. 

• Methuselah’s life becomes a model of grace and longsuffering: 

- He is the oldest man in the Bible (969 years—Genesis 5:27). - 

Enoch “walked with God” after he begat Methuselah (Genesis 

5:21-24). 

- He received the revelation … named his son … became a 

prophet. 

- [Was his incentive any different than ours?] 

- God is not willing that any perish (2 Peter 3:8,9). 

Four Facts Emphasized by Enoch’s Prophecy: 

• Enoch’s prophecy is of the Lord’s Second Coming 

1) We know the Lord’s coming is sure; 

2) We know who will accompany the Lord; 

3) We know the purpose of His coming; 

4) We know the result of the Lord’s coming. 

Jude 14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied 

of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands 

of his saints, 

250

CHAPTER 7 

1) We Know the Lord’s Coming is Sure: 

- We have the assurance of this prophecy spoken in the past 

tense (Cf. Revelation 19:11-14). 

• Written as history, but written in advance 

- Like history, nothing can change it. 

• These prophecies are written the same way 

• They are not contingent on anything 

- He is “able to subdue all things to Himself” (Philippians 3:21) 

2) We Know Who Will Accompany the Lord: 

• He will come “with His holy myriads”: “myriads” found 

in other passages (Zechariah 14:5; Revelation 19:4; Daniel 

7:10). 

• Moses: ten thousands of “holy ones” (Deuteronomy 33:2) 

= Angels (Acts 7:53; Galatians 3:19) 

• Christ’s return: “All the holy angels” (Matthew 25:31); 

- Believers also (Colossians 3:4; 1 Thessalonians 3:13); 

- “We shall judge angels” (1 Corinthians 6:2,3) 

3) We Know the Purpose of His Coming: 

- First and last prophecy (Revelation 22:20) given through 

a man focuses on His Second Coming in judgment. 

• First prophecy came through Enoch 

- He will come to bring judgment (krisis) (Hebrews 9:26-28). 

Hebrews 9:26-28 For then must he often have suffered since 

251

BOOK OF JUDE 

the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the 

world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of 

himself. 27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but 

after this the judgment: 28 So Christ was once offered to bear 

the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he 

appear the second time without sin unto salvation. 

• “krisis” is used of Sodom (Luke 10:14); 

• “a certain fearful looking for krisis” (Hebrews 10:27); 

• “the day of krisis …of ungodly men” (2 Peter 3:7) 

- The use of that word, is the judgment of the unsaved 

John 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my 

word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, 

and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from 

death unto life. 

• Word used is krisis 

No believer will ever come into krisis (John 5:24); 

• A Believer before the Judgement Seat of Christ uses a 

different word 

• A different word is used: This is the Bema Seat (Romans 

14:10; 2 Corinthians 5:10) where the judge sat to pass out 

the rewards at the end of the race 

• There is a different kind of judgment for believers 

- Apocryphal “Book of Enoch” error: “ 

• “He comes with myriads of saints to execute judgment on 

252

CHAPTER 7 

them.” 

• Book of Enoch was written by a fraud, a false prophet 

• It was not written by Enoch 

“ All”: Who will be judged? 

• He cometh to judge the earth (Psalms 96:13). 

• …all nations (Joel 3:12; Matthew 25:32). 

• …with their cities (Matthew 11:22; 12:41). 

• …every man, living or dead (2 Timothy 4:1; 2 Thessalonians 

1:7-9). 

• …fallen angels (verse 6) et al. (Isaiah 24:21). 

• …and demons (Matthew 8:29). 

Who will be this judge? 

“The Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment 

to the Son” (John 5:22) • “…according to truth…deeds… 

my gospel” (Romans 2:2,6,16). 

Romans 2:2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is 

according to truth against them which commit such things. 6 

Who will render to every man according to his deeds: 16 In the 

day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ 

according to my gospel. 

4. We Know the Result of the Lord’s Coming: 

- All the ungodly will be convicted of all their works of 

ungodliness… 

• Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire (Matthew 

25:31-46); 

• books opened…according to their works (Revelation 20:11- 

15); 

253

BOOK OF JUDE 

• heavens and earth reserved unto fire… (2 Peter 3:7) 

- …which they have ungodly wrought. 

• He looks at the heart (1 Samuel 16:7) 

- …hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against 

Him 

• …every idle word which men shall speak (Matthew 12:36). 

• The description of the Anti-Christ in scripture is a Big 

Mouth (Revelation 13; Daniel 8) 

Enoch’s Role In Prophecy: 

• Much is said about Noah and the Ark 

- Noah is called by God to build this barge, ark - 8 people are 

saved 

- There is no reason to believe that Noah had only three 

sons! 

- Made the ark, miraculously preserved through the flood 

• Where would you have the Ark land after the flood? 

- The Ark’s resting place was by God’s design 

- It was placed on a geographically unstable mountain, 

where it is too high to live 

- God seems to have placed the ark in a place where it is 

impossible to use it as timber, etc. 

254

CHAPTER 7 

• 14,000 feet plus on Mount Ararat, with very inhospitable 

conditions 

- It is preserved in ice 

• The Ark was sealed inside and outside with pitch in Genesis 

6:14 

- It was built to be preserved; it was deposited to be preserved 

• Hypothesis – The Ark’s role is prophetically not over 

- It was a testimony to an unbelieving world of coming judgment 

back when it was built, it will be again 

- It implies A testimony to the reality of Genesis 6 and the 

reality of Noah 

- God intervenes in the lives of men, and he holds them 

accountable 

• Pitch: The word “pitch” within and without in Genesis 6, 

is used throughout scripture, but it’s translated “pitch” 

only in that chapter 

- Everywhere else in the Old Testament “pitch” is translated = 

as Atonement 

- There is a gigantic “pun” here 

• These eight people were preserved by Atonement 

- The ark is a type of Christ preserving the chosen through the 

judgment to become a new beginning at the end 

255

BOOK OF JUDE 

- The ark when it comes to rest, when they leave the ark, the 

Holy Spirit tells us it was the 17 th day of the 7 th month. In the 

book of Exodus when the Passover is Instituted, He makes that 

month, the first of the month. The Passover is on the 14 th of 

Nissan, which in Genesis is the seventh. 

- If Jesus Christ is crucified on the 14 th of Nissan, what 

happens 3 days later? His resurrection. Do you mean to tell 

me that God let Noah leave the ark on the third day after the 

14 th on the Anniversary thousands of years in advance of the 

Resurrection of Jesus Christ? Absolutely! 

- It’s mind-blowing how the Lord orchestrates all of this 

• Is the ark a type of the believer? 

- The ark is not removed from the judgment, it was preserved 

through it 

- There is a difference between it and the Church 

• “not appointed unto wrath, but unto salvation” (1 Thessalonians 

5:9) 

• “I will keep you from the time of tribulation” (Revelation 

3:20) 

• The Ark is a type of Israel, preserved through tribulation 

• Where is the Church? 

- The Church is non-Jewish – Enoch 

- Enoch was removed from the scene before the judgment 

Note: Rapture Models in the Old Testament 

• Enoch’s translation before promised judgment (cf. Noah’s 

Ark was preserved through judgment. 

256

CHAPTER 7 

• Lot’s deliverance from Sodom prior to judgment. 

• Nebuchadnezzar’s fiery furnace: WHERE WAS DANIEL? 

(Daniel 3) 

- When the music plays everyone was to bow down to the image 

- Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refused to bow down 

• Nebuchadnezzar built the image 66 cubits high and 6 

cubits wide - he commanded everyone to bow down 

- Nebuchadnezzar is a type of Anti-Christ 

- Forces all to worship him at the pain of death 

• Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego a type of Israel 

- They are in the fiery furnace fire is an idiom of the tribulation 

in the Old Testament, they are preserved through the fiery 

furnace they are not kept out of the furnace 

- Fire = Tribulation no harm came to them 

• Where is Daniel? 

- He was not around, for whatever reason, at that time he was 

probably on an errand of the state, and his enemies used that 

time to attack his second string 

Enoch’s Role In Prophecy Pre-Trib Rapture: 

• Lot’s deliverance from Sodom prior to judgment 

- It was clear as Abraham was interceding for Lot if there was 

one righteous the judgment would have been stayed 

257

BOOK OF JUDE 

- The two angels get Lot out of Sodom 

• They could not carry out the mission until Lot was gone! 

• The Seventy Weeks Prophecy (Daniel 9) 

• A period of time of 69 weeks; then 1 week after that 

- Scope verse, (Daniel 9:24) 

- Detailed description of the 69 weeks (Daniel 9:25) 

- Description of events between 69 th and 70 th week (Daniel 

9:26) 

- Description of the 70th week (Daniel 9:27) 

• There is a gap between the 69 th ( ) and 70 th weeks 

- That ( ) is paramount to understanding the 70 weeks prophecy 

of Daniel 

- The same gap is in Revelation 12:5-6 

“Dispensational Breaks” 

• Israel and the Church are “mutually exclusive” (Daniel 

9). [See the list below for 24 dispensational “gaps” in 

Scripture.] 

1) Genesis 1:1-2 2) Psalms 22:21-22 3) Psalms 118:22 

4) Isaiah 9:6 5) Isaiah 53:10 6) Isaiah 61:2 

7) Lam 4:21-22 8) Daniel 9:26-27 9) Daniel 11:20-21

258

CHAPTER 7 

of those God’s dealing with Israel and God’s dealing with the 

Church are mutually exclusive. 

12 Israel 12 Church = 24 

• When Israel rejects her Messiah the positioning of the 

Church is established 

- From then (Age of Grace) until the Rapture is clearly a 

parenthesis in which God’s focus is on the Gentiles /Church 

- Believers in the Old Testament and prior to the Church; 

they are believers 

- The apostles were sent to Israel, two by two a specific 

mission set up there 

- There is an era that we enjoy, we take it all for granted, 

very peculiar things abound to us that were not true then and 

are just unique to us …the Church 

• There will come a time when that is over, God will have 

accomplished His purpose 

- God will again choose to deal with the world through Israel 

- The insight to unraveling the Book of Revelation is to 

understand it’s Jewishness: Chapters 4 – to the end are 

Jewish; Israel 

- The 7 letters to the 7 Churches are a Gentile parenthesis 

Enoch’s Role in Prophecy: 

• Ruth and Boaz 

- Naomi represents Israel 

- Boaz is the kinsman redeemer 

259

BOOK OF JUDE 

- Ruth is the Gentile Bride 

• Where was Ruth during the Threshing floor scene? 

- At the feet of Boaz (Ruth 3) 

• There Are Two Models of the Rapture in the Old Testament: 

• Explicit in Isaiah 26:19-21; Zephaniah 2:3 

Isaiah 26:19-21 Thy dead men shall live, together with my 

dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in 

dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall 

cast out the dead. 20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy 

chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it 

were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. 21 

For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the 

inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall 

disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain. 

Zephaniah 2:3 Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, 

which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek 

meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD’S 

anger. 

Amos 8:9-10 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the 

Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I 

will darken the earth in the clear day: 10 And I will turn your 

feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; 

and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon 

every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, 

and the end thereof as a bitter day. 

260

CHAPTER 7 

• This is talking about the crucifixion of Christ (Amos 8:9- 

10) 

Jude 16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their 

own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, 

having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage.

BOOK OF JUDE

Recognition of An Apostate: 

• This is how you recognize an apostate! 

- “These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own 

lusts … 

• Complainers – Angels’ dissatisfaction with their assigned 

place 

Walking after their own lusts – Sodom and Gomorrah 


Recognition of an Apostate: 

The Church will be without excuse if it fails to recognize 

apostates when they appear (verses 8, 10, 12, 13…). 

1) Murmurers – Israel in the wilderness verse 5 

2) complainers… Angels’ dissatisfaction with their assigned 

place; 

3) walking after their own lusts… Sodom and Gomorrah. 

Murmurers: 

• The noun “murmurers” is found nowhere else in the New 

Testament. The verb form is found in several passages: 

• “Jews murmured at Him…Bread of Life (John 6:41). 

• “Disciples murmured…walked no more… (John 6:61,66; 

Ephesians 2:2,3). 

• Murmuring was a sin of no minor importance: it is the 

hallmark of apostasy (Psalms 106:24-26; 1 Corinthians 

10:10) 

262

CHAPTER 7 

Complainers: 

Again, this noun is found nowhere else in the New Testament. 

• Pharisees “found fault” …traditions… (Mark 7:2,6,8). 

- Making the Word of God of no effect through tradition is a 

form of apostasy wherever it is found. 

• Faultfinding may mark a professing Christian as one 

who has turned his back upon the truth! Complainers 

may be apostates (verses 8,10; cf. 2 Corinthians 11:15; 

1 Corinthians 5:11). 

- “ …displeased the Lord in the Days of Moses” (Numbers 11:1); 

- “ …displeased the Lord” (Mark 7); 

- “ …Today”? Compare “those dissatisfied with their lot” 

(angels verse 6) with 

- “whatsoever state we’re in” (Philippians 4:11). 

Walking After Their Own Lusts: 

• This is the same word as the Lord uses in the Parable of 

the Sower (Mark 4:18,19). “ 

- …scoffers, walking after their own lusts…” (2 Peter 3:3:5). 

Trio in the Old Testament, mixed multitude (with Israel, not 

of Israel): 

• Murmurers (Numbers 14:2); 

• Complainers (Numbers 11:1); 

• “Fell a lusting” (Numbers 11:4). 

263

BOOK OF JUDE 

Their Mouth Speaketh Great Swelling Words: 

• This is the same expression found in 2 Peter 2:15-21; 

- the Doctrine of Demons (1 Timothy 4:1); 

- Identified of the Last Leader Anti-Christ (2 Thessalonians 

2:3, 11; Revelation 13:5,6). • Having Men’s Persons in Admiration… 

- “Professionalism” replacing the call of the Holy 

Spirit (cf. the Calvary Chapel history: read the book Harvest 

by Chuck Smith).

Chapter 8 


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbLAk_M7eYE 


17] But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken 

before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; 

• Remember the word (Word) 

• Jude opened with quotes from the Old Testament 

- He closes with references to words spoken by the apostles 

• Protection against apostasy – To remember the words 

- Remember implies you know the words; it also implies you 

have read the words 

• You cling to the Word of God 

265

BOOK OF JUDE 

- Remember, cherish, and rejoice: HIS WORD (Proverbs 30:5) 

- Rejoice …as those who find great spoil (Psalms 119:162) 

18] How that they told you there should be mockers in the 

last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. 

19] These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having 

not the Spirit. 

Remember The Word: 

• The Doctrine of Inspiration is Paramount: 

- Not in man’s wisdom, but by the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 

2:13) 

1 Corinthians 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the 

words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy 

Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 

2 Peter 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the 

will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by 

the Holy Ghost. 

• The Primary Mission of these Studies: 

- To know love, understand, to be passionate about, and to 

know the Supernatural origin and role of the Word of God 

Apostolic Warnings: 

The apostle Paul warned of grievous wolves, not sparing the 

flock (Acts 20:28-30) 

Acts 20:28-30 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to 

all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you 

overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased 

with his own blood.29 For I know this, that after my departing 

shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the 

266

CHAPTER 8 

flock.30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking 

perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. 

• Paul was warning the Ephesian Church 

- “Christian” cults go after members of the Body of Christ 

- They don’t bother with the unsaved 

- Built around some extravagant truth 

• Fail to embrace the whole counsel of God 

• The Lord Jesus Christ authored “Seven Epistles” Revelation 

chapters 2 and 3 

Revelation 2:1-2 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus 

write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in 

his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden 

candlesticks; 2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy 

patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: 

and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are 

not, and hast found them liars: 

Four Levels of Meaning: 

There appear to be at least four levels of application to these 

letters: 

1. Local: These were actual, historic churches, with valid 

needs. Archaeological discoveries have confirmed this. 

2. Admonitory: In each of the letters there appears the 

key phrase, “Hear what the Spirit says to the churches”. 

Note the plural, churches. It turns out that each of 

the letters applies to all churches throughout history. 

As we understand the sevenfold internal structure, the 

267

BOOK OF JUDE 

uniquely tailored messages, and the specific admonitions 

in each of the letters, we discover that any church can be 

“mapped” in terms of these seven composite profiles. 

3. Homiletic: Each of the letters also contains the phrase, 

“He that hath an ear let him hear…” Doesn’t each of us 

“have an ear”? Each letter applies to each of us. There are 

some elements of each of these seven “churches” in each 

of us. Thus, this may be the most practical application of 

the entire Book of Revelation. 

4. Prophetic: The most amazing discovery, however, of 

these seven letters is their apparent prophetic application. 

These letters describe, with remarkable precision, the 

unfolding of all subsequent church history. 

• These letters describe, with remarkable precision, the 

unfolding of all subsequent church history. If these letters 

were in any other order, this would not be true! 

• These letters appear to fill the interval between the 69th 

and 70th “weeks” of Daniel 9. The Book of Acts covers 

about 30 years; these two chapters of the Book of Revelation 

cover the next 1,900 years. 

Revelation 2:3-5 And hast borne, and hast patience, and 

for my name’s sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.4 

Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast 

left thy first love.5 Remember therefore from whence thou art 

fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come 

unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his 

place, except thou repent. 

Ephesus: 

Meaning - The Desired One 

268

CHAPTER 8 

• Jesus: The Church at Ephesus, they were doctrinally sound 

- But they had lost their first love for Jesus Christ (Revelation 

2:1-7) 

- They were so busy about the Lord’s business, that they had 

no time for the King 

2 Peter 3:1-3 This second epistle, beloved, I now write 

unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way 

of remembrance: 2 That ye may be mindful of the words 

which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the 

commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour: 

3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last day 

scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4 And saying, Where 

is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, 

all things continue as they were from the beginning of the 

creation. 

• The Second Coming and the Creation are linked, they 

both are based upon the premise that there is a God, who 

intervenes in history. A disbelief in one leads to disbelief 

in the other. 

• Peter: Scoffers, after their own lusts (2 Peter 3:1-4) 

- Willing ignorance; deliberate rejection 

Jude 1:19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, 

having not the Spirit. 

• They who make separations verse 19 

Martin Luther: Translated this, “Those who make factions” 

- Those who bring about divisions because of borderlines, 

269

BOOK OF JUDE 

or limits = sin, in the sense of the law 

• Not just ecclesiastical doctrines 

Obverse: The reverse of this idea, the positive side is (1 

Corinthians 11:19) 

• Why is it, that in general, you find a minister who is right 

on just about everything but one thing? But there is always 

something that you may stumble on. 

1 Corinthians 11:19 For there must be also heresies among you, 

that they which are approved may be made manifest among 

you. 

- This problem is not a local one, it’s not a problem that’s 

just unique to Jude it is intrinsic in the whole gamut of building 

the Body. 

3 John 1:9-10 I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, 

who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth 

us not.10 Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds 

which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and 

not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the 

brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them 

out of the church. 

Who Make Separations: 

• Diotrephes caused division in the Church; 

- He refused to receive John; he loved his own preeminence … 

• Christ is to have the preeminence (Colossians 1:18) 

270

CHAPTER 8 

• Let each esteem the other better…(Philippians 2:3) 

• Diotrephes was an apostate: 

- Speaking evil of John, malicious words; 

- Refusing to receive the brethren; 

- Forbidding others who would have done so; 

- Even casting brethren out of the church; 

3 John 1:11 Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that 

which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth 

evil hath not seen God. 

Sensual: 

• This is not lasciviousness verse 4 

- Not walking after ungodly lusts verse 6 

• The Greek word is “psychikos” 

• It is “soulish”, in the realm of the senses 

Deuteronomy 6:4-5 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one 

LORD: 

5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, 

and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. 

Mark 12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the 

commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one 

Lord: 

30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, 

and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy 

strength: this is the first commandment. 

• Jesus added a phrase 

271

BOOK OF JUDE 

• Tripartite Man: Spirit, Soul, and Body (1 Thessalonians 

5:23) 

1 Thessalonians 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you 

wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be 

preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

Blueprint of a Believer - Nan’s Corner: by Nancy Missler • 

August 1, 1997 

https://www.khouse.org/articles/1997/21/ 

The Temple of Solomon: 

• I believe Paul is making a correlation (in the two above 

Scriptures) between Solomon’s Temple, which used to be 

the dwelling place of God’s Spirit, and our bodies that are 

now the dwelling place of His Spirit. I believe he is saying 

that in some mystical way, Solomon’s Temple was a model, 

a blueprint, or a type of believer indwelt by the Holy Spirit. 

Now, the reason I refer to Solomon’s Temple and not the 

other temples is because Solomon’s was very “special.” 1) 

It was the only Temple where all the detailed plans (not only 

the construction of the Temple but also the furniture) were 

given to David by the Spirit of God (see 1 Chronicles 28:12,19). 

2) It was also the only Temple in which God’s Spirit “dwelt 

permanently” until the Temple was destroyed. And lastly, 3) 

It was the only Temple in which the Ark of the Covenant rested. 

None of the other Temples contained the Ark. 

Sensual: 

• Getting back to Jude 1:19 Sensual here is soulish, it is meant 

in a neutral sense, but that makes it more telling 

272

CHAPTER 8 

- The soul is self-consciousness, our personality, our emotions, 

our will, psychology 

- The spirit is God-consciousness, the highest element of 

communication with Him 

What is the best English equivalent for the soulish man = 

natural man (1 Corinthians 2:14) 

1 Corinthians 2:13-14 Which things also we speak, not in 

the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy 

Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of 

God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know 

them, because they are spiritually discerned. 

Holography: 

A Provocative Analogy 

Holographic Properties (Fourier Transform) 

• Useless in Natural light – it looks foggy 

- Requires proper illumination 

• What makes it dramatic is that it is 3 dimensional 

- Move your eyes to look around things in the picture 

- The picture appears to have substance as you move 

A Biblical Analogy 

When one examines a hologram in natural (uncollimated, 

noncoherent) light, it has no apparent form nor attractiveness. 

However, when one examines it with the laser with which it 

was formulated, a three-dimensional image appears. 

When one examines the Bible in unaided, natural light, it 

‘‘has no form nor comeliness that we should desire it.’’ 4 But 

273

BOOK OF JUDE 

when we examine it illuminated by the Light that created it, the 

Spirit of God that put it all together in the first place, we see an 

image: the image of the One that every detail in it illuminates, 

the promised Messiah Himself. 

From Genesis to Revelation, God’s program for the redemption 

of mankind is carefully distributed throughout 66 books, 

5 penned by more than 40 different individuals spanning over 

a thousand years! And, indeed, this abused collection has 

survived the jamming and interference of its enemies over 

many centuries without material damage! (However, if we 

illuminate the hologram with a laser of a different frequency, 

it will yield a false or distorted image. So, too, the Scriptures!) 

How Do Holograms Work? 

A hologram is a form of lensless photography in which a laser 

simultaneously illuminates an object and a piece of film. The 

film records the interference between the light waves hitting it 

directly and the light waves reflected from the object. It is, in 

effect, a frequency record rather than a spatial image. 

Fourier Transforms 

The hologram is one of the most remarkable examples 

of a Fourier Transform. Holographic principles were first 

formulated in 1947 by Dennis Gabor (who later won a Nobel 

Prize for his efforts) as he was trying to improve the electron 

microscope, then a primitive and imperfect device. His approach 

was a mathematical one, leaning on a type of calculus 

invented by an 18th-century Frenchman, Jean B. J. Fourier. 

Fourier had developed a mathematical way of converting 

any pattern, no matter how complex, into a language of 

simple waves. He also showed that these waveforms could 

be converted back into the original pattern, just as a television 

set converts those frequencies back into the original images. 

274

CHAPTER 8 

Engineers frequently exploit Fourier Transforms to change 

a time series into a frequency series. The use of frequency 

response curves in the evaluation of audio equipment is a 

common example. 

Modern holographic images are derived from the work of 

Emmet Leath at the University of Michigan. (I had the pleasure 

of exploring computer-generated holograms with him in his 

laboratory in the early 60s.) 

• There is …No loss from dropouts or holes 

- Information is spread over the entire bandwidth, meaning, 

there is no chapter on “baptism”, there is no specific chapter 

on “salvation”, there is no specific chapter on the “rapture”, 

etc. It is spread over the entire Book of the Bible 

- This anticipates hostile jamming 

- It is resilient to specific interference 

Isaiah 28:9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom 

shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned 

from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.10 For precept must 

be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line 

upon line; here a little, and there a little: 

• It’s distributed, in the same way that you would do with a 

hologram, it’s the same properties… 

• The Natural man cannot perceive the truth of God 

- Without the light of the Holy Spirit (which put the Word 

together in the first place) 

- Intellectual debate won’t usually convert them 

275

BOOK OF JUDE 

• Only the proper illumination of the Holy Spirit 

- That’s how we came to God, it’s ok to use apologetics, but the 

drawing to God is by the word and the Holy Spirit 

• In Jude sensual means soulish 

- Having not the Spirit verse 19 

Is An Apostate Saved? 

• Believers are normally spiritual if they are obedient to the 

Word of God (1 Corinthians 2:15) 

• Although they may be carnal, or babes (1 Corinthians 3:1) 

- They are never said to be sensual or natural men 

• They are born of the Spirit 

• No matter how noble or giving, doesn’t mean that they are 

saved 

- Only saved by Jesus Christ 

- An apostate never became a child of God 

• There is no passage of Scripture which could be made the 

basis for the concept that 

a natural man ever was anything else but an unsaved man 

• The unsaved are natural men, dominated by the senses of 

the self 

276

CHAPTER 8 

- Dominated by the psyche 

- They receive not the things of the spirit for they are 

“foolishness” (1 Corinthians 2) 

• What is the foolishness of God? 

• From beginning to end God goes out of His way… 

• To do things in a way that we would never think of 

- Saving eight people in a barge, using the jawbone of an ass, 

Naaman bathing in a muddy river 

- “The foolishness of God is wiser than men” (1 Corinthians 

1:25) 

• The ultimate foolishness, the most ridiculous idea to us 

- The entire universe is redeemed by the death of a carpenter’s 

Son 

• On a Roman Cross, in Judea over 1,900 years ago 

• That event would be the pivotal fulcrum of all history 

• That’s Foolish! 

- “The preaching of the Cross is to them that perish foolishness, 

but unto us which are saved it is the power of God” (1 

Corinthians 1:18; Romans 1:16) 

• “If any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His” 

(Romans 8:9) 

• The apostate lacks the distinguishing mark of the true 

believer: the seal until the day of redemption (Ephesians 

1:13, 14) 

277

BOOK OF JUDE 

A Christian Is: 

• Baptized by the spirit into the body of Christ 

• Sealed by the Spirit 

• Indwelt by the Spirit 

• Taught by the Spirit 

• Led by the Spirit (Romans 8:14) 

• Can cry … “Abba, Father…” (Galatians 4:6) 

• An apostate knows nothing of these things 

Building, Praying, Keeping, and Looking: 

20] But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most 

holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,21] Keep yourselves in 

the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ 

unto eternal life. 

Building Up Your Faith: 

• We bear the responsibility for self-development 

“Building” is a present participle and lifelong task 

• Spiritual Building: 

- The Church (Matthew 16:18) 

- Foundation of apostles, prophets; 

• Christ = Chief Cornerstone; (Ephesians 2:20) 

- We = “living stones…spiritual house”; (1 Peter 2:5) 

- Our works: stones versus stubble (1 Corinthians 3:10-15) 

2 Peter 1:5-7 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to 

278

CHAPTER 8 

your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;6 And to knowledge 

temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;7 

And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly 

kindness charity. 

• There are Nine steps to building a spiritual house 

• “Building Up Yourselves” 

- How do we do that? (Acts 20:32) 

- Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God 

(Romans 10:17) 

- Cleansing from sin (Ephesians 5:26; John 17:17) 

- Obedience brings blessings (James 1:25) 

- When we desire it, we grow thereby (1 Peter 2:2) 

- Whoso keepeth… in Him…love is perfected (1 John 2:5) 

• “Praying in the Holy Spirit” (Ephesians 6:18; Romans 

8:26-27) 

• “Keep yourself in the love of God” 

- We are kept for Jesus Christ (1 Peter 1:5; cf verse 1) 

- Also, (cf. angels who “kept” in everlasting bonds…) Verse 

6 

- This does not say – “Keep on loving God” 

• It’s His Love, not our love that is in view (John 15:9) 

• The Prodigal Son removed himself from the place where he 

could enjoy the benefits of his father’s love to the fullest. 

He did not keep himself in the love of his father…(Luke 15) 

- Listen to His call for obedience (John 15:10; 1 John 3:23) also, 

279

BOOK OF JUDE 

draw close to God and He will draw close to you (James 4:8) 

• Verse 21 “Looking for” 

- “Looking for” in Greek is translated = (4 times) “waiting for” 

(Luke 12:36) and “looking for” in (Titus 2:13) 

- Awaiting, expecting, anticipating 

• Progressive: faith = love = blessed hope 

- Holy Spirit/Father/Son 

22] And of some have compassion, making a difference: 

23] And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; 

hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. 

Ex-Warlock Reveals SHOCKING Truth About The Agenda 

Against Christians 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYeKBBlznzk&t=327s 

James Kawalya who was an Ex Satanist & High-Ranking 

African Warlock shares what types of Christians he saw in the 

spiritual realm when he was in the Kingdom of Darkness. This 

revelation will absolutely shock you and you will never want to 

sin again after seeing this. James is a powerful man of God who 

the Lord is using mightily in this hour to expose the things 

most churches won’t even talk about anymore. 

Response = Sacred Duty: 

• What’s Our Response to all of the previous exhortations? 

1) Compassionate understanding 

- Some people have sincere doubts, it’s our mission to deal 

with those doubts 

280

CHAPTER 8 

• Mercy 

- The first mention of “mercy” (compassion) is in Matthew 

5:7; the last mention is here 

• Doubt 

- The first mention was when Peter was sinking (Matthew 

14:31) 

• Refute: In a punitive sense (Hebrews 12:5) 

- “and some refute while they dispute with you” (cf. verse 9) 

- The Word of God can refute, punish, convict, and convert 

- Be ready to give every man an answer (1 Peter 3:15) 

1 Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be 

ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a 

reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: 

• Don’t conclude from that that it is the reason that causes 

a person to believe, on the other hand, you still have an 

obligation to defend, and the classical term is to apologize. 

- Meaning to have apologetics by having the background 

by what you believe sound enough that you can stand up 

and be counted in that way. 

- You may say, well that sounds kind of tough to do. James 

gives you a key tool 

- Ask for wisdom (James 1:5) 

James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that 

giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be 

281

BOOK OF JUDE 

given him. 

• This is a very specific kind of ask and you shall receive a 

promise from James, the Lord’s other brother 

2) “Save with fear, pulling them out of the fire;” 

• Urgent Boldness: If they are to be snatched from an 

eternity of fiery judgment; 

- When you recognize that the unsaved person that you are 

dealing with is in peril, and your diligence and effectiveness in 

what God may have called you to do at that opportunity may 

save them from an eternity of punishment 

• Eternal Fire: verse 7 

- The first mention was the unquenchable fire (Matthew 3:10- 

12) 

- The last mention (Revelation 21:8) 

• The same idea is found throughout the Scriptures 

- Lot and his daughters (Genesis 19:15, 16, 24) they were 

extracted from the fire 

• Only by intercession?! Lot was saved by the intercession 

of Abraham. Sometimes this is our only option. 

• How do you witness the family? It’s tough! 

• What can you do best? Intercede! God is in the miracle 

business, spouting off some Bible verse or arguing some 

282

CHAPTER 8 

Biblical point, is not likely to yield a commitment to the 

Lord. 

• The Lord can use those instruments, but usually when 

dealing with family, He responds to prayer and have 

somebody else or some event reach that person 

- Firebrand plucked out of the burning (Amos 4:11) 

Amos 4:11 I have overthrown [some] of you, as God overthrew 

Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a firebrand 

plucked out of the burning: yet have ye not returned unto 

me, saith the LORD. 

- Even a high priest is snatched (Zechariah 3:1-2) 

Zechariah 3:1-2 And he shewed me Joshua the high priest 

standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at 

his right hand to resist him.2 And the LORD said unto Satan, 

The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; even the LORD that hath 

chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked 

out of the fire? 

• I don’t think anyone is ever saved without intercession 

3) Cautious Compassion: Lest the soul winner himself be 

endangered with their sins 

• Godly Fear 

- We are at risk; mingle zeal with Godly fear (Proverbs 1:7; 

Proverbs 9:10; 14:16; 4:14-15) 

- Don’t be tempted to “tone down” the Gospel (Proverbs 

19:27; 28:4) 

- “Hating even the garment spotted by the flesh” this seems 

283

BOOK OF JUDE 

to point to the spotted garment in Joshua 7, remember Aiken? 

• “Spotted garment”: Don’t covet that which is denied us 

(Joshua 7) 

• The desires of this world spotting life, we need to have a 

hatred of those things that interfere with the walk 

Grand Benediction/Doxology: 

• Jude’s epistle is on apostasy 

• But he both “Began and ends the epistle with Assurance” 

to the believer 

24] Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and 

to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with 

exceeding joy, 

Psalm 37:4-5 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall 

give thee the desires of thine heart. 5 Commit thy way unto 

the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. …7 

Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself 

because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man 

who bringeth wicked devices to pass.. …23 The steps of a good 

man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. 24 

Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD 

upholdeth him with his hand. 

• My personal scripture from the Lord 

2 Thessalonians 3:3 But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish 

you, and keep you from evil. 

284

CHAPTER 8 

• We may stumble and fall, but we are not cast aside 

• The “Secrets of our walk” was penned long before 

(Proverbs 3:19-23) 

• Proverbs 3:19-23 The LORD by wisdom hath founded the 

earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens. 

20 By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the 

clouds drop down the dew.21 My son, let not them depart 

from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion: 22 

So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck. 

23 Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall 

not stumble. 

• I have listed - Over 30 New Testament admonitions concerning 

our walk…(1 Thessalonians 4:1) 

• Paul said to “run” 

Hebrews 12:1-2 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about 

with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, 

and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with 

patience the race that is set before us, 2 Looking unto Jesus 

the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was 

set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is 

set down at the right hand of the throne of God. 

• Looking unto Jesus… 

Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their 

strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall 

run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. 

285

BOOK OF JUDE 

• It’s in climactic order 

- “They that wait upon the Lord” 

- Shall “Renew their strength” 

- They shall “mount up with wings as eagles” 

- “they shall run and not be weary” 

- “they shall walk and not faint” 

Jude 1:24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, 

and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory 

with exceeding joy, 

• “Faultless” – (Greek “amomos (299)” – “…without blemish” 

blameless 

Ephesians 5:25-27 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ 

also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 That he might 

sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 

27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not 

having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should 

be holy and without blemish. 

• He imputes to the Church, His righteousness, that’s His 

goal that’s His mission 

1 John 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not 

yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall 

appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

lamb without blemish and without spot: 

Hyperspace: 

The History of Hyperspace Physics and the Bible: by Lambert 

286

CHAPTER 8 

Dolphin • October 1, 1997 

Lambert Dolphin, Physicist Website 

https://khouse.org/articles/1997/29/ 

“Flatland” 

In 1884 the Christian headmaster of the City of London 

School, Edwin Abbott, wrote a wonderful novel about creatures 

who lived in an imaginary world called “Flatland.” 2 It was 

now immediately easy for ordinary people like you and me 

to imagine what it would be like living in a two dimensional 

world-on a flat sheet of paper-with occasional intrusions 

of “beings” from a higher three-dimensional “hyperspace.” 

Even more fantastic science fiction now unfolded into being 

overnight and by the turn of the century the common man’s 

perception of his world would never be the same. 

• If four dimensions are not only possible but now certain, 

why not 5 10, or 26 dimensions? Indeed, if we jump 

from Einstein to the present time, that is precisely what 

has happened in modern physics. All this has taken 

place because introducing (mathematically) additional 

dimensions to the physical world “unifies” the laws, 

forces, and fields of physics, and leads (usually) to simpler 

and more “elegant” ways of looking at the universe in 

which we live. 

• Discussion of hyperspace rapidly became very complex 

after Einstein-we must save that for another article. But 

let us note several things: It is indeed quite likely that the 

physical, material world we live in has many more than 

four dimensions. 

Ten is a reasonable number to make our physics simple. 

287

BOOK OF JUDE 

Discussion of hyperspace still leaves the issue of where God 

now lives, since he was long ago excluded from the “fourth” 

dimension. Unfortunately, some modern Christian apologists 

have implied that God is merely a higher-dimensional being, a 

cosmic giant who pokes his fingers into our world from time to 

time, alarming us with visions or miracles that we cannot fully 

understand. Is God a super being from another dimension? 

• I don’t mean to imply that miracles, visions, and UFO 

intrusions from higher dimensions do not occur! They 

most certainly occur, and I believe they are all real extradimensional 

happenings. The point is: God is not made of 

matter; He is Spirit and spirit is something fundamentally 

different from matter. 

• There is an all-important point to keep in mind in our 

discussions of modern physics and that is that “God is a 

Spirit and those who worship Him must worship Him in 

spirit and in truth.” (John 4:24) Spirit is not the same 

thing as matter! 

• We can talk endlessly about matter/energy, space, and 

time in the created material world, but that still leaves a 

higher realm of God and his angels. Who are they and 

where do they live? What are the unseen worlds they 

inhabit? Beyond our amazing physical world is yet another 

realm where different laws apply and where time flows at 

a different pace. 

• To talk first of matter and now of spirit is also to go beyond 

the scope of this short introductory article. Suffice it to say, 

our knowledge and understanding of the physical world 

comes through the scientific method, which is based both 

on observations and on mathematical models that can be 

288

CHAPTER 8 

tested and verified by measurements and experiments. 

• The spiritual world is something we know about by personal 

revelation from our God. 3 Most marvelous of all, God 

has created man to live simultaneously in the material and 

in the spiritual world. He wants us to be at home in two 

worlds- He wants us in His training program designed to 

prepare us for an amazing greater world which is to come. 

• The opening of doors for us to enter into other worlds was 

accomplished by the sacrificial work of Jesus Christ on the 

Cross-we live in a moral universe, and much more than 

physics is involved in the super hyperspace the Bible calls 

the “heavens.” 

“Since we have the same spirit of faith as he had who wrote, ‘I 

believed, and so I spoke,’ we too believe, and so we speak, knowing 

that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus 

and bring us with you into his presence. For it is all for your 

sake, so that as grace extends to more and more people it may 

increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God. So we do not lose heart. 

Though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is 

being renewed every day. For this slight momentary affliction is 

preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, 

because we look not to the things that are seen but to the things 

that are unseen; for the things that are seen are transient, but the 

things that are unseen are eternal.” 

2 Corinthians 4:13-18 

25] To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, 

dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen. 

• “God our Savior “: (1 Timothy 2:5) 

• Believing in God is insufficient 

289

BOOK OF JUDE 

- The Cross is essential! (John 14:6; Acts 4:12) 

• Same expression: 

- New Testament (1 Timothy 1:1; 2:3; Titus 3:4-6) 

- Old Testament (Psalms 106:21; Isaiah 60:16; Psalms 80:1- 

3) 

Jude 1:24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, 

and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory 

with exceeding joy, 25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be 

glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. 

Amen. 

Glory, Majesty, Dominion and Power: 

• The only other New Testament verse where all four of these 

are wrapped up in one verse is (Hebrews 1:3) 

Hebrews 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the 

express image of his person, and upholding all things by the 

word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, 

sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 

• Glory: The Divine radiance that shines (Luke 2:9) 

- Blinds (Acts 22:11) 

- Protected by smoke (Revelation 15:8) 

• Majesty: Only here and in Hebrews 1:3 and (Hebrews 8:1) 

- Incomparable, ineffable regal presence of the Ruler of the 

Universe 

290

CHAPTER 8 

- Suggests the omniscience of God upon the throne 

• Dominion: The infinite extent of His rule throughout the 

Universe (Hebrews 1:3; Colossians 2) 

- Suggests the omnipresence of His Majesty throughout the 

universe (Psalms 103) 

• Power: Irresistible divine authority and might; omnipotence 

- Omnipotence, omnipresence, omniscience 

• One gets the feeling that Jude has run out of words 

• This demonstrates the poverty of the human language (cf. 

David 1 Chronicles 29:11) 

1 Chronicles 29:10-12 Wherefore David blessed the LORD 

before all the congregation: and David said, Blessed be thou, 

LORD God of Israel our father, for ever and ever. 11 Thine, O 

LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the 

victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in 

the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art 

exalted as head above all. 12 Both riches and honour come of 

thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power 

and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give 

strength unto all. 

Some people pray A.C.T.S. 

• Adoration 

• Confession 

291

BOOK OF JUDE 

• Thanksgiving 

• Supplication 

• When you pray take time and in your own words just adore 

Him 

• Having comprehended the glorious brightness, the unutterable 

regal Being of the One who sits on the throne, the 

limitless extent of His rule, and the unlimited strength of 

His might 

- Jude can write no more 

• “before all time” 

- Before the most distant stars were created 

• “The Lord knew you, before the foundations of the world… 

” 

• That’s when you were saved, that’s when you were foreordained, 

that’s when He had you on His mind, by name. 

That’s when He knew how many hairs on your head before 

the foundation of the world was laid 

• “…and now” (the only epoch that we can impact) He has 

given us a segment of time that we get to choose where we 

will spend eternity, we are here to make a decision 

• “and forever more” 

Amen

Chapter 9 

How to become “Born-Again” In Jesus Christ 

When God created the first humans, they were holy and had 

no laws, except one, and our first parents broke that with some 

help from the tempter Satan. Ever since then, mankind has 

been steeped in sin, and rebellion from God. 

Since the creator of the universe is HOLY, we need a road to 

point us to salvation. 

The Roman Road to Salvation 

https://www.teenmissions.org/resources/roman-road-tosalvation/ 

New American Standard Bible 

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of 

God is eternal life 

in Christ Jesus our Lord. 

1 John 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, 

and declare unto you, 

that God is light,and in him is no darkness at all. 

293

BOOK OF JUDE 

He has set laws in place for his creation to obey. What are 

these laws? 

They begin with the 10 Commandments. 

While you might consider yourself ‘good’ compared to most 

people, how do you measure up against God’s law? 

Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not 

one: 

Have you ever told the smallest lie? Then you are a liar. 

James 2:10 For whoever keeps the entire law, yet fails in one 

point, is guilty of breaking it all. 

Disobedience to God is sin, and not one person can keep the 

Law of God. 

Steps down the Roman Road to Salvation… Read on! 

I consider myself a ‘good person’… won’t that be enough? 

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of 

God; 

Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not 

one: 

Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the 

world, and death by sin; 

and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: 

New American Standard Bible 

Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, 

and death through sin, 

and so death spread to all men, because all sinned— 

Is sin really THAT big of a deal? If it is… what HOPE is there? 

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of 

God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. 

Disobedience to an infinite eternal God deserves an infinite 

eternal consequence. 

294

CHAPTER 9 

God shows us His character and his laws in his creation, the 

world around us. 

He has also written his laws in our hearts… on our conscience. 

He has also given us his WORD the Bible. 

No good judge would let the guilty go free, or will allow the 

criminal to go unpunished. Neither can a holy righteous God 

allow sinful man to go unpunished… but God LOVES man whom 

he has made in his image and He has provided a way of escape 

by sending his only son to die in our place. 

After what I’ve done to grieve God…HOW could He willingly die 

in my place? 

Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, 

while we were yet 

sinners, Christ died for us. 

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only 

begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish 

but have everlasting life. 

While he died on the cross, he was mocked, spit upon, and 

cursed. 

Yet Jesus cried out, “Father forgive them for they know not 

what they do…” 

Luke 23:34 

With such love, Jesus died in your place… knowing every evil 

act, word, and thought you would commit. What powerful 

love! He loves you unconditionally even to the point of death 

when you are at your worst! 

HOW can I be saved? 

Romans 10:9-10 

That if you confess with your mouth Jesus [as] Lord, and believe 

295

BOOK OF JUDE 

in your heart that God 

raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; 10 For with the 

heart man believeth unto 

righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto 

salvation. 

You can never be saved by trying to be a good person, nor can 

you be saved through any amount of ‘good works’. 

Ephesians 2:8,9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that 

not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man 

should boast. 

You and I can be saved only by confessing our sins and 

placing our faith in God’s son, Jesus Christ who died and paid 

for our sins on the cross. We must also surrender our life to 

His lordship… placing him in charge of every area of our life 

because we now belong to him. 

Both John the Baptist and Jesus himself began their preaching 

with the word, ‘Repent’. 

Matthew 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, 

Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 

To repent means ‘change one’s mind’ or to turn — to go in 

another direction. 

How can we be led to repentance? 

The first step toward repentance is true sorrow for what 

we’ve done wrong. 

2 Corinthians 7:10 For the sorrow that is according to the will 

of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation, 

but the sorrow of the world produces death. 

Worldly sorrow is more like the regret of a criminal who’s 

296

CHAPTER 9 

just been caught whereas godly sorrow is the deep remorse or 

conviction that produces a change in direction. Have you ever 

felt convicted after doing something wrong? 

The Bible says that the Holy Spirit is the one that convicts us 

of our sin. 

John 16:7-8 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for 

you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not 

come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. 8 And when 

he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, 

and of judgment: 

Did God HEAR me? Did He accept me? 

Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the 

Lord shall be saved. 

God promises that 

John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power 

to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name 

:” 

Yes, God does hear and accept ALL who come to put their 

faith in Him. 

There is no need to fear death any longer because Jesus 

BROKE the power of sin and death on the cross with his own 

shed blood. 

The price for your sin has been paid in full and it is God’s 

promise to receive all who come to Him by placing their faith 

in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. 

As a believer, you have a new life in Christ. Jesus did NOT 

remain in the grave. He rose from the dead after three days.

BOOK OF JUDE 

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new 

creation; old things have passed away, and look, new things 

have come. 

• Our old “Spirit Man” was dead to the Life of Jesus Christ, 

we had to be born-again according to John 3:7. So that we 

could be raised from death to life in Jesus Christ. 

John 3:7-8 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born 

again. 8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest 

the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and 

whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. 

• The Lord says, The wind blows where it pleases, and you 

hear its sound, but you don’t know where it comes from or 

where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.” 

When I was Born-Again, I Died to Live In Jesus!: 

Romans 6:8-11 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe 

that we shall also live with him: 9 Knowing that Christ being 

raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more 

dominion over him. 10 For in that he died, he died unto sin 

once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. 11 Likewise 

reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive 

unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. 

• We are dead to sin in our Spirit Man, and alive with God 

through Jesus Christ our Lord. But, we still live in a Fallen 

Body, therefore we are at constant war between following 

the will of the Father versus following the will of the Flesh. 

• That is why we are told to not allow sin to dominate over 

298

CHAPTER 9 

us in all that we do. 

Romans 6:12-14 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal 

body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 13 Neither yield 

ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: 

but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the 

dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto 

God. 14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are 

not under the law, but under grace. 

Holman Christian Standard Bible 

6:13, says, this…And do not offer any parts of it to sin as 

weapons for unrighteousness. But as those who are alive 

from the dead, offer yourselves to God, and all the parts of 

yourselves to God as weapons for righteousness. 

• as weapons for unrighteousness…This means, that we on 

occasions are able to use our bodies as weapons against 

God’s kingdom in unrighteousness, we become alliedin a 

sense with the opposing forces. 

Thayer’s Greek Lexicon 

STRONGS NT 3696: ὅπλον 

ὅπλον (allied to ἐπω, Latinsequor, socius, etc.; Curtius, § 

621), ὅπλου, τό, as in classical Greek from Homer down, any 

tool or implement for preparing a thing (like the Latinarma); 

hence, 

1. plural arms used in warfare, weapons: John 18:3; 2 

Corinthians 10:4; metaphorically, 

τῆς δικαιοσύνης, which ἡ δικαιοσύνη furnishes, 2 

Corinthians 6:7; τοῦ φωτός, adapted to the light, such as 

light demands, Romans13:12 (here L marginal reading ἔργα). 

299

BOOK OF JUDE 

2. an instrument: ὅπλα ἀδικίας, for committing unrighteousness, 

opposed to ὅπλα δικαιοσύνης, for practicing 

righteousness, Romans 6:13. 

• If we could live a perfectly “Sin Free Life” these verses 

would not be needed, these verses remind us, that we are 

at war within ourselves. 

• If ever you meet any person who claims to live a sinless 

life, he or she is a 

liar. 

• When we sin, we sever fellowship with God, we are still 

saved, but our sin separates us from fellowship with God, 

so we have to confess our sins to restore instant fellowship 

with the Father. 

• If we say, “ We have fellowship with Him,” yet we walk in 

darkness, we are lying and are not practicing the truth. 

1 John 1:6-10 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and 

walk in darkness, we lie, 

and do not the truth: 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the 

light, we have 

fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his 

Son cleanseth us from all 

sin. 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and 

the truth is not in us. 9 If 

we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, 

and to cleanse us 

from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, 

we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

CHAPTER 9 

What do I do now? 

This is the work of God, believe in the one whom He has sent. 

John 6:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work 

of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. 

Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by 

the word of God. 

Your journey as a child of the King of Kings has just begun! 

You must begin by spending time daily in prayer and in God’s 

Word, the Bible. 

Most of the Churches today are in apostasy, we need to read 

and study the entire Old Testament and New Testament to get 

a “grasp” in learning the entire Bible.
