  • Jude 1:12-25
  • Jude 1:12 – It’s not entirely clear what is meant here by “love feasts.” The rest of the language here is very figurative, so it could simply be referring to fellowship with these people who were hidden dangers to their faith.
  • Jude 1:14 – Enoch was one of only two men we know of that did not see death. He and Elijah were both taken to heaven directly by God (Genesis 5:24; II Kings 2:11).
  • Jude 1:16 – See II Peter 2:1-3.
  • Jude 1:17 – See I Timothy 4:1; 1:19-20; II Timothy 2:17. The apostles had repeatedly warned of false teachers coming in.
  • Jude 1:20 – See Acts 17:11; Romans 10:17; Hebrews 11:6. This is the way we build ourselves up in the holy faith.
