Bible Question: Can someone explain Jude 1:11 |
Bible Answer: rivery14 The way of Cain was to get angry that his offering was not accepted by God and jealous of his brohter whose offering was accepted - he became a murderer and shed innocent blood. The way to Balaam was that he was a prophet of God who did not obey God, but went about doing things his own way. The way of Korah was that the sons of Korah burnt strange inscence to the Lord and were destroyed by God as punishment with fire. This all relates to what Jude is saying about those who rebel against God in Jude verses 5-8; Sodom and Gomorrah and the angels, and also those in vrses 1:4, 8 as those who have crept in the congregation unawares. The point of verse 11 is that they will perish, just as those in the expamples given. Jude 1:13 Wild waves of the sea, casting up thier own shame like foam; wandering stars, for whom the black darkness has been reserved forever. peacebestill |
