[[Jude-01]] Prev: [[Prophecies in 3 John-01]] | Next: [[Prophecies in Rev-01]] --- ### About these also Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, "Behold, the Lord came with ten thousands of his holy ones, to execute judgment on all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their works of ungodliness which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against him." *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: Enoch prophesied that the Lord would return with a heavenly host to execute judgment on the ungodly for their sinful actions and rebellious words against God. *Historical context*: This passage is a direct citation of [[1 E-01#v9|1 Enoch 1:9]], an ancient Jewish apocalyptic work. Biblical scholars and theologians identify this as a prophecy concerning the Parousia (Second Coming of Christ) and the Final Judgment. Although the Book of Enoch is not part of the standard biblical canon in most traditions, Jude treats this specific prediction as a legitimate revelation of future divine judgment. *Related to*: ### For there are certain men who crept in secretly, even those who were long ago written about for this condemnation: ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into indecency, and denying our only Master, God, and Lord, Jesus Christ. *Type*: fulfillment *Summary*: The infiltration of ungodly men into the early church and their subsequent condemnation is identified as the fulfillment of ancient prophecies and writings. *Historical context*: Jude's reference to those 'long ago written about' (palai progegrammenoi) likely points back to the Enoch prophecy (v. 14) and Old Testament types of judgment such as Cain and Korah. Historians correlate this fulfillment with the rise of antinomianism and proto-Gnostic heresies in the late 1st-century church, where specific individuals were seen as the realized subjects of these ancient warnings. *Related to*: Ancient prophecies or writings mentioned in [[Jude-01#v4|Jude 1:4]] ### But you, beloved, remember the words which have been spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. They said to you, "In the last time there will be mockers, walking after their own ungodly lusts." These are those who cause divisions and are sensual, not having the Spirit. *Type*: fulfillment *Summary*: The arrival of divisive mockers within the church is the realization of specific predictions made by the apostles of Jesus Christ regarding the 'last time.' *Historical context*: Jude frames the current ecclesiastical crisis as the specific fulfillment of apostolic warnings found in texts like [[2 Pet-03#v3|2 Peter 3:3]] ('scoffers will come in the last days') and [[1 Tim-04#v1|1 Timothy 4:1]]. Theological analysis suggests that early Christian writers viewed the emergence of internal dissent and moral laxity as the primary sign that the 'last time' predicted by the apostles had arrived. *Related to*: Apostolic predictions of mockers in the last days (e.g., [[2 Pet-03#v3|2 Peter 3:3]]) --- #ai_prophecy
