AMPLIFIED 2015 | Jude 1:9 But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil (Satan), and arguing about the body of Moses, did not dare bring an abusive condemnation against him, but [simply] said, "The Lord rebuke you!" [Deut 34:5, 6; Zech 3:2] |
Bible Question: What was the dispute between Michael and the devil over Moses body about? Is this actual or parable? (Jude 1:9) |
Bible Answer: Hello jjg, This verse is neither parable, nor actual. Jude is referring to an apocryphal work, called "The Assumption of Moses," according to several church fathers. The story is that Satan provoked Michael the archangel to anger because Satan said to him that Moses was not worthy of an honorable burial, since he was a murderer, and yet Michael did not pronounce judgment or rebuke Satan. Instead, he said, "The Lord rebuke you." Jude's point is that even Michael, an archangel, refrained from pronouncing judgement and respected Satan's power, But the heretics of Jude's has no such respect for anyone, and just despised what they couldn't agree with or understand. Hope this helps! ischus |
