JUDE – PART THIRTY-TWO
Greetings dear and precious saints of God and partners with this Ministry to bring the Truth to those with ears to hear in our generation. My Ministry is primarily to the Church, pulpit and pew alike; however, I focus on leadership since that is a part of my calling, to come along side leaders. Some leaders will listen and allow me (God through me) to speak into their lives and others will not. It is not that I know so much, for I do not, but that is how God flows in and through me. Pre-believers reading this teaching are welcome and I invite you to change from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of the Son of God. To all I say welcome back to our study of this wonderful Bible Book of Jude.
Please take a moment to share these teachings as widely as possible by every means available to you. Thank you so much for sharing. We see your sharing as valuing the teaching. God is so good.
Now, let’s turn our attention to our primary Bible text in this wonderful Book of Jude.
Jude 1:10-13 (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.
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.
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;
13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
As we go forward, we find interesting Scripture, verse six, about angels leaving their assignments in the Kingdom of God and their judgment was Hell. Some have connected this in great expansive explanation generally including extrabiblical sources like the book of Enoch. The following Scriptures are many times linked together.
Jude 1:6 (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.
2 Peter 2:4 (KJV)
4 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;
Genesis 6:1-2 (KJV)
1 And 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.
Many interpret (not rightly divide) the Genesis passage as angles having sex with mortal women and producing giants. They also indicate that these giants as the same as the ones the Israelite’s pointed to and gave as an excuse for not entering the Promised Land. Angels are spiritual creations, having no creative power, and cannot produce physical sperm to impregnate a mortal woman. This is simply telling us that the “sons of God”, meaning men who worshiped God were drawn by their own lusts to heathen women becoming unequally yoked. The flood of Noah did not come for this reason but the evil of mankind not angels.
Genesis 6:5-7 (KJV)
5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
Any persons of larger than normal stature were wiped out in the flood. These mighty men, men of renown were simply very influential people of their day. I don’t know why the Lord is having me go back and review the materials we have already covered, that may not be for me to know, it is for me to do according to His direction.
Lord willing, I will pick up right here next week. The Lord is good and He cannot lie!

2 Chronicles 20:20 b (KJV)
20 … Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper. (Bold added)
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 (KJV)
13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. (Bold added)
14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
