(14) It was about these men that Enoch, the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying,
"Behold, the Lord came with many thousands of His holy ones, (15) to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him." (From non-Scriptural writings.)(16) These are grumblers, finding fault, following after their own lusts; they speak arrogantly, flattering people for the sake of gaining an advantage.
These are more characteristics of the false teachers Jude has been warning us against.
Stay away from these people, they will be judged by the Lord. Depart from them, so that you won't be influenced by them, and suffer their punishments with them.
O my Father, You are so good to describe all the sundry and varied traits of these evil people who have sneaked into Your church, the tares that the enemy has sown with the good seed. Please help Your children to identify these wicked people, to call them out and stay away from them.
Father, help Your children to be strong in the Lord, and to strengthen one another against these evil, wicked men and women.
Gather all of your lost sheep, Father; help us to rescue them from the brambles and the pits and the very fire of Hell!
Fill Your great house with Your children, and may every place at Your grand banquet table be occupied; that we all will spend eternity in sweet fellowship with You and one another!
And every eye shall see, every knee will bow, every tongue will confess that Jesus is our Christ, the Lord God Almighty, sovereign King of all Creation; to the everlasting glory of Almighty God the Father, for ever and ever. Amen.
Even so, come quickly, Lord Jesus!
