This is a popular verse for reading today: Most importantly, I want to remind you that in the last days scoffers will come, mocking the truth and following their own desires. 2 Peter 3:3.
Scoffers -> according to Jude, are people who follow their ungodly desires, who divide the church, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the spirit of Elohim.
Solution:
Build up yourself in the most holy faith and praying in the holy spirit, keep oneself in Elohim’s love as you wait for mercy of Yeshua hashem to bring you to eternal life. Jude 1 vs 17 – 20. Call to perseverance.
The last days is likened to Sodom and Gomorrah, Luke 17:28-37; where even surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. Jude 1 vs 3
Remember all of Israel was chosen by Elohim to be delivered from Egypt but later he destroyed those who did not believe in him. (had unbelieving hearts) similar to the church of Elohim. Jude 1: 5
It goes on to say there are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our lord into a License FOR IMMORALITY.
solution: contend for the faith that was once entrusted to Elohim’s holy people.
The bible tells us there are three kinds of people unbelievers, ungodly and believing.
There are ungodly people characterized by judge to be:
1) people who pollute their own bodies, reject authority of Elohim, and heap abuse on celestial beings. (Archangel Micheal saith ‘the lord rebuke you’)
2) they slander whatever they do understand, and the very things they do not understand by instincts – as irrational animals do – will destroy them.
3)they took the way of Cain; they will kill their brothers in the lord (the lust of their father Satan – they will do), and they rush for profit into Balaam’s error; they have been destroyed in Korah’s rebellion.
4) they are shepherds who feed only themselves – they are blemishes at our love feast, eating without qualms.
5) Enoch (the 7th from Adam); prophesied about them: ‘see, Elohim is coming with a 1000s upon 1000s of his holy one to judge everyone, and convict of all ungodly acts they have committed in their ungodliness have spoken against him.
6) they are grumblers and fault finders (causing offences -> as with Moses and the people grumbling about returning to Egypt for food, causing Moses and Aaron to be overcome with faults and then sinned against Elohim), they follow evil desires, they boast about themselves (2 Timothy 3:2-4, this is how they will lead the congregations to be lovers of themselves ad boastful) and flatter for their own advantage.
Scriptures worth remembering to this end:
Philippians 3 vs 18: talks about the enemies of the cross of Christ as well, their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach (why they grumbled in the wilderness? why Esau sold his birthright/inheritance?) and their glory is in shame, their minds set on earthly things.
Idolaters are impure persons (impure + greedy persons) philipians 4:12, 13, Eph 5:5.
I Corinthians 12 vs 24 all functioning body of Christ whether big, small, medium as the hand the same size with the ears is not but they all work together. therefore, our presentable parts need no special treatment. God puts the whole body together. The body of Christ the church whether big, small or medium matters not it’s the function that matters.
God placed the church 1st -> apostles; 2nd -> prophets, 3rd teaches of miracles, then gift of healing of helping of guidance and of different kinds of tongues.
Hebrews 12:11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless, afterward it yielded the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
Revelation 3 vs 19 Those whom I love I rebuke & discipline so be earnest and repent. He chastises those he loves. Do not resist the discipline or correction of Adonai, whoever has ears, let the hear what the father of spirit is saying to the churches.
