Jude 15 KJV [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.”     Enoch not only prophesied that Jesus would come again, but when He comes, He will execute judgment upon all the ungodly in this world. They relish in their wickedness and like to boast about the ungodly deeds that they have committed. They enjoy their hard speeches against the God who created them. They take His name in vain …

Jude 14 KJV [14] “And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,”      Sometimes we feel that this world is growing darker by the day. It seems more difficult now to find a bright spot in society. If you turn on the news, listen to the radio, or watch the Internet, you will not find much encouragement in our world today. The world has nothing positive to announce.      The reason is simple, they are in darkness and cannot offer peace without knowing the Prince of Peace. …

 Jude 13 KJV [13] “Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.”     Tsunamis are giant waves caused by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions under the sea. In the ocean’s depths, tsunami waves do not dramatically increase in height, but as the waves travel inland, they build up to higher and higher heights as the depth of the ocean decreases. Tsunamis are raging waves of the sea that cause massive destruction and death.      Jude declares apostates as the raging waves of the sea. Like tsunamis, they bring …

Jude 12 KJV [12] “These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;”      We have all heard the phrase, “Some people have no shame”. This statement is true about apostates. They do not care who they deceive, or who gets hurt, or whose soul they damn to Hell. They will pretend to be a believer and a friend to other believers. Jude says that these people are spots in …

Jude 11 KJV [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 three men in this verse depict apostates. In doctrine, Cain rejected the blood atonement; in desires, Balaam sold out for money; and in disrespect, Core disrespected Moses. You will still find this true about the apostates of our day. They are in error in their teaching and handling of finances, and there is no regard for preachers who preach with authority.      Someone asked me about …

Jude 10 KJV [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.”      Apostates corrupt the public standards of society and the personal standards of individuals. These men may have doctorate degrees from highly respected universities, but they are ignorant of the spiritual things of God. They are crafty men having a lot of charisma, but the Scriptures call them brute beasts. Underneath all the wit, personality, and charm, they are ravaging wolves who will stop at nothing to fulfill their wicked desires. …

Jude 9 KJV [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.”      Our verse reminds us of the rank, the responsibility, and the restraint of Michael, the archangel, when dealing with the Devil. Even though Michael is the chief angel with great power and ability, he leaves the judgment of Satan up to the Lord and not himself. It is unknown how often any of us actually face the Devil. We undoubtedly battle our flesh and the …

Jude 8 KJV [8] “Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.”     The morals of our nation have been decaying for decades. America has long accepted sins such as fornication, adultery, divorce, and pornography. Hollywood has not only whitewashed these sins but has strongly advocated them within the movie industry. The slogan “sex sells” is their theme, and family values are destroyed by these filthy dreamers.      They are now taking their perversion to an even darker and more depraved level by promoting the LGBT movement. They want to exalt their wickedness and …

Jude 7 KJV [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.”     The ungodly living in Sodom and Gomorrah has often been the pattern for apostates. These unholy cities were rampant with false teaching, corruption, and perverted lifestyles. They relished in vile, wicked activities and praised those going after strange flesh. The Lord made a historical example out of these ungodly cities. He buried both of them in the depths of the …

Jude 6 KJV [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.”      Many believe that the history of these angels on earth is in Genesis 6, where they cohabited with women. The word for “habitation” means a dwelling place. These angels fell not once but twice. They fell for the first time with Lucifer from Heaven. They fell a second time when they went lusting after strange flesh. They are no longer free to roam the earth like …
