Jude 14-25 - Prophecy, Eschatology and Apostates - The Mysteries of God's Word

Send us a text

Jude's powerful message focuses on apostasy within the church, with particular emphasis on a prophecy from Enoch about Christ's return with ten thousand holy ones to execute judgment on the ungodly. The epistle warns believers about false teachers who have infiltrated the church while offering practical guidance for standing firm in faith until Christ returns.

• Jude quotes a prophecy from Enoch about Christ returning with angels to judge the ungodly
• The Book of Enoch, while containing this prophecy, is not considered inspired Scripture
• False teachers are characterized as grumblers, malcontents, and self-serving boasters
• These apostates cause divisions in the church and are "worldly people devoid of the Spirit"
• Believers are instructed to build themselves up in faith and pray in the Holy Spirit
• Jude's doxology emphasizes that Christ, not our own strength, keeps believers from stumbling
• Our salvation is secure because we are in God's hands, not our own
• Believers will one day be presented blameless before God through Christ's righteousness

To the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority before all time and now and forever. Amen.
