JUDE
Thought to be written sometime prior to 80 AD.
A general epistle to all Israelites.
A letter of reinforcement.
Judas (Jude) the brother of James, and ½ brother of Christ.
Luke 6:16 And Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor.
John 14:22 Judas (Jude) saith unto Him, not Iscariot, Prince, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
The theme and reason for writing are given:
The faith once delivered to the saints.
This epistle has a unique passage revealing the counterpart, in the invisible world, of the struggle on earth between good and evil – faith (allegiance) and apostasy.
Jude called to his readers' memories, three examples, taken from Hebrew history, of rebellious unbelief.
The Israelites who failed in faith (allegiance) after Yahweh's wondrous deliverance from Egyptian bondage.
The fallen angels.
Sodom and Gomorrah.
Jude also called to memory the words of the apostles. 'They told you there should be mockers in the last time' and again Jude quoted from Hebrew history three examples of rebellious unbelief.
Cain, who presumed to think his own way better than that of Yahweh.
Balaam, who acted in self will 'perversely before Yahweh', by instigating mongrelization.
Korah, who intruded blasphemously into the priest's office.
Judah wrote of certain judgment on the ungodly when Yahshua Christ returns again to earth.
Jude describes the element of the enemy.
These wicked people who were fornicators who go after the way of Cain who existed in old time, who seek actively to pervert the assemblies of Yahweh.
The “churches” teach that anybody who “believes” becomes a saint.
According to the scriptures, 'saints' are the children of Israel. Descendants of the chosen seed of Abraham. Today that seedline is represented in the Anglo-Saxon nations of the world.
Jude identifies the seed of Jacob as Yahweh's children, and the seed of Cain and Esau as the Devil's children. These 2 seedlines are the enmity of Gen 3:15.
The original Greek will be used often to restore mistranslations made either by ignorance or by deliberate deception.
Jude should properly be Judah (Yahudah), meaning he who praises Yah.
Salutation
Jude 1:1 Jude (Yahudah), the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus (Yahshua) Christ, and called: (Act 19:29; Rom 16:23; 1Cor 1:14; Mat 13:55; Mar 6:3)
Note: Usually the KJV translates the word for preservation as “saved”. Here in verse 1, for some odd reason they translated this correctly (preserved). This is the correct meaning, as we are preserved in this life IF we follow The Way. Nobody is 'saved' yet. No such teaching in scripture.
Being “saved”, as the “churches” teach, is not scriptural. Being 'preserved' by 'practicing' and imitating Christ's example is what scripture reveals.
Every descendant of Adam is 'called', Matthew 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
The KJV is notorious for changing nouns into verbs, they did so with 'called' in verse 1. And 'and' is italicized, which means it was added.
It should read, '...to those beloved by the Father Yahweh, even the chosen being preserved by Yahshua Christ,'
1:2 Mercy (Goodwill, Compassion) unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.
Occasion of the Letter
1:3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith (The Belief) which was once delivered unto the saints.
Jude is warning the congregation of the 'common' teaching of salvation by the false teachers, the Judaizers. The word 'common' refers to something defiled or profane. They were teaching profane or perverted doctrine. Much like today's “churches”.
Common also comes from a primary preposition meaning 'complete', or 'unity'.
So either way he is talking about 'complete salvation' and/or warning of false doctrine.
What is “The Belief”?
The Belief is the allegiance to Yahweh. Without true knowledge and understanding, loyalty, without obedience, without the love for our brethren that Christ demonstrated for us, then that empty belief is not The Belief.
1:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace (favor, Divine influence) of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Master Yahweh God, and our Prince Yahshua Christ. (Mat 13:1-58; 2Th 2:1-17)
Galatians 2:4 And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Yahshua, that they might bring us into bondage:
This is done by teaching us to 'practice' ungodliness.
The false brethren are the children of Esau. These, along with the children of Cain, are those that creep in unawares and steer us away from the Light.
These are the vessels fitted for destruction, hence 'ordained for destruction'.
The vessels of mercy are the children of Israel.
Judgment on False Teachers
1:5 I will therefore (because of false brethren) put you in remembrance (remind you), though ye once knew this, how that Yahweh, having saved (delivered) the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. (Exo 12:51)
1Corinthians 10:9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
Numbers 14:29 Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against Me,
Yahweh destroyed the generation that left Egypt in the wilderness because they believed not and conformed not to The Way.
Psalm 106:26 Therefore He lifted up His hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:
1:6 And the angels (messengers) which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, He hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
Genesis 6:1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
Should properly read 'sons of Heaven'.
6:3 And Yahweh said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
120 years to build the Ark and be ready for the flood.
6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God (sons of Heaven) came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. (Enoch 12:4-7)
1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance (punishment) of eternal fire. (Gen 19:1-24)
All sorts of sexual sin. Fornication is race mixing.
1Corinthians 10:8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
Revelation 2:14 But I have a few things against you, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
Hebrews 12:16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.
Each of these are about race mixing. Yahweh demands we be separate. Kind after kind.
Tobit 4:12 Beware of all whoredom, my son, and chiefly take a wife of the seed of thy fathers, and take not a strange woman to wife, which is not of thy father's tribe: for we are the children of the prophets, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: remember, my son, that our fathers from the beginning, even that they all married wives of their own kindred, and were blessed in their children, and their seed shall inherit the land.
4:13 Now therefore, my son, love thy brethren, and despise not in thy heart thy brethren, the sons and daughters of thy people, in not taking a wife of them: for in pride is destruction and much trouble, and in lewdness is decay and great want: for lewdness is the mother of famine.
Why isn't the Apocrypha considered scripture? Because it refutes the “churches” universal doctrine of “God loves everybody”.
1:8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion (reject Yahweh's authority), and speak evil of dignities (blaspheme honor).
1:9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, Yahweh rebuke you. (Dan 10:13,21, 12:1; Deut 34:6; Zec 3:2; Rev 12:7)
2Peter 2:11 Whereas messengers, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Master.
Because the angels, who will be judged as well, don't want to be caught in the crossfire.
1:10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute (irrational) beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
2Peter 2:12 But these, as natural brute (irrational) beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;
Edomites, vessels of destruction. Broken cisterns. Those without the Spirit (DNA).
1:11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. (1Jn 3:12; 2Pet 2:6-15; Gen 4:3-8; Num 16:1-35, 22:1-35)
All are references to race mixing.
Cain was the son of the Devil and Eve. Balaam tried to curse the Israelites, told Balak how to get them to race mix.
From Josephus Bk 4 Ch 2: Core was the 1st cousin of Moses. Core and his men wanted some authority. Core disputed Yahweh's election for the priests. Core was destroyed by Yahweh.
This is also a reference to Cain and Abel. Abel was the qualified priest able to make a sacrifice because Abel was Adam's first son. Cain, who was not Adam's son was challenging Abel's authority and position as priest.
1:12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they (Edomites) feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; (2Pet 2:13)
Canaanites, Edomites, and everything mixed holds no water (Spirit, pure DNA). Vessels of destruction. Broken cisterns. Clouds without water.
1:13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
Isaiah 57:20 But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
1:14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, Yahweh cometh with ten thousands of His saints, (Gen 5:18, 21-24)
Deuteronomy 33:2 And he said, Yahweh came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; He shined forth from mount Paran, and He came with ten thousands of saints: from His right hand went a fiery law for them.
1:15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.
Psalm 31:18 Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
1:16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.
2Peter 2:18 For when they (antichrists) speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.
2:19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.
Proverbs 28:21 To have respect of persons (status of a person) is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress.
If you don't remain separate, you will be overcome and brought back into the bondage of sin. Even a hungry man will sin for some bread.
The last part of verse 16 '...admiration...' is referring to the award's the Jews give themselves in an industry full of Jews. Emmy's, Golden Globes, Pulitzer. “Here's an award for reinforcing unrighteousness. For teaching the 'practice' of evil. Good job fellow evil one.” But evil is their job, it's what is on their black hearts.
Warnings and Exhortations
1:17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Prince Yahshua Christ;
1:18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. (2Pet 3:3)
They sure have succeeded. Convinced us that we are “Gentiles”. They got our people worshiping a Jewish Jesus, we are slaves in their government (the Constitution has not been followed for decades, all countries are corporations now, so are you), toleration in the “churches” (homos and mixed race couples). Atheism is successfully removing God. All that is left is our guns.
1:19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit (DNA).
The Greek: 19 These are those making divisions, animals, not having the Spirit.
1:20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith (Set-apart Belief of you), praying in the Holy Spirit,
Colossians 2:7 Rooted and built up in Him, and stablished in the faith (The Belief), as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
1:21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy (compassion, loving-commitment) of our Prince Yahshua Christ unto eternal life.
1:22 And of some have compassion (loving-commitment), making a difference:
22 And indeed have mercy upon those who are hesitating.
1:23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. (Rom 8:5-10; Gal 5:19-21)
23 Now some you save snatching them from the fire, but some have mercy upon in fear, hating even garments having been defiled by the flesh.
Sounds like 'hate the sinner and the sin'.
Benediction
1:24 Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory (honor) with exceeding joy,
1:25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory (honor) and majesty, dominion and power (sovereignty and authority), both now and ever. Amen.
JUDE – CHURCH DOCTRINE VS. SCRIPTURE
Below are 3 sources of what the modern churches preach today about the book of Jude.
The purpose is to expose the apostasy and perversion of the scriptures, and to educate our people about the truth of our heritage. That we, the Anglo-Saxon race who are the descendants of ancient Israel, are the people of Abraham's seed and therefore the heirs of the promises of Yahweh. Not the Jews who distort and pervert the scriptures and teach the 'traditions of men'.
Biblehub.com
The book of Jude is a General Epistle (Apostolic Letter). The author is Jude the brother of James, both of who are half-brothers of Jesus Christ. Jude wrote it circa 75 A.D. There is no sufficient evidence of when Jude wrote. The purpose of this book is to address false teachings and to illustrate a contrast between the error of heresy and the truth of Jesus Christ. Jude consists of only one chapter.
• In verses 1- 16, Jude identifies himself and quickly delves into the dilemma of false teachings. “For certain persons have crept in unnoticed” (vs. 4), heresy was obviously seeping into the region, disturbing the churches (assemblies), and deceiving believers. He begins by illustrating similarities between false teachers and condemned individuals from the Old Testament citing Cain, Balaam, and Korah.
• Verses 17-25, Jude urges Christians to “remember the words that were spoken beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ” (vs. 17). He was referring to all of the apostles and disciples in the past, which had warned about false teachers and prophets that were coming to deceive. His advice is to focus on Jesus Christ and to watch out for each other so that no one is misled into error.
Those who place their faith and trust in Jesus Christ are secure in salvation, not by their own good deeds, because no one is good enough to do that, but believers are secure by the vicarious work of Jesus Christ on the Cross. Secure only if they imitate and practice the example He showed us. It is only by, “Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.” (vs. 24-25).

Who wrote the book?
Like most of the other general epistles, the title of this little book takes its name from its author. Most scholars identify the writer as Jude the half-brother of Jesus for at least two reasons. First, he identified himself as the “brother of James” (Jude 1:1), meaning he was probably not the apostle named Jude, a man who was called “the son of James” (Luke 6:16). That the author of the book of Jude identified himself as the brother of James likely aligns him with the family of Jesus. Second, Matthew 13:55 records the names of the brothers of Jesus as James and Judas. Whereas the gospels record his name as Judas, English translations shorten it to Jude—probably for the same reason no one in the present day wants to name a child Judas, because of the association it has with Judas Iscariot, the disciple who betrayed Jesus.
Like his older brother James, Jude did not place his faith in Jesus while the Lord (Prince) was still alive. Only after the crucifixion and resurrection did the scales fall from Jude’s eyes and he become a follower of his half-brother, Jesus. First Corinthians 9:5 offers a tantalizing piece of information, noting that the Lord’s (Prince's) brothers and their wives took missionary journeys. From this scant portrait, we begin to picture Jude as a man who lived in skepticism for a time but eventually came to a powerful faith (allegiance) in Jesus. And as he traveled on behalf of the gospel—telling the story in city after city with his name Judas butting up against that of Judas Iscariot—he would stand as a living example of faithfulness, a stark contrast to the betrayer.
Judas Iscariot was an Edomite Jew.
Where are we?
The book of Jude is notoriously difficult to date, primarily because the Bible and tradition reveal so little about the personal details of its author while the book itself refrains from naming any particular individuals or places. The one clue available to present-day readers is the striking similarity between the books of Jude and 2 Peter. Assuming Peter wrote his letter first (AD 64–66), Jude probably wrote his epistle sometime between AD 67 and 80.
Why is Jude so important?
Jude’s edgy brevity communicates the urgency of his notion that false teachers needed to be condemned and removed from the church (assembly). Few words meant that Jude would not waste space dancing around the issue. He saw within the church (assembly) people and practices that were worthy of condemnation, including rejecting authority and seeking to please themselves. In response to these errors, Jude marshaled much biblical imagery to make clear what he thought of it all—anything from Cain killing his brother Abel to the punishment of the sinful people who populated Sodom and Gomorrah (Jude 1:7, 11).
What's the big idea?
Jude’s purpose in his letter was twofold: he wanted to expose the false teachers that had infiltrated the Christian community, and he wanted to encourage Christians to stand firm in the faith (allegiance) and fight for the truth. Jude recognized that false teachers often peddled their wares unnoticed by the faithful, so he worked to heighten the awareness of the believers by describing in vivid detail how terrible dissenters actually were. But more than simply raising awareness, Jude thought it important that believers stand against those working against Jesus Christ. So why don't we scrutinize the Judeo “churches”? Maybe because they teach tolerance. Believers were to do this by remembering the teaching of the apostles, building each other up in the faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, and keeping themselves in the love of God (Jude 1:17, 20–21).
How do I apply this?
Fight for the truth! Stand up against error! The book of Jude is the very definition of punchy and pithy proclamations—with its short commands and statements popping off the page like machine-gun fire. But in our day and age, punchy has become rude or unacceptable. We are taught in the “churches” “don't rock the boat”. In many circles the forcefulness of Jude will not be tolerated, the crowds preferring a softer and gentler side of the Christian faith. Gentle will come when we can prove our allegiance (faith). But Jude reminds us that there is a time and a place for the aggressive protection of the truth from those who would seek to tear it down.
How can you participate in defending the truth from error?

Summary of the Book of Jude
Author
The author identifies himself as Jude (v. 1), which is another form of the Hebrew name Judah (Greek "Judas"), a common name among the Jews (Judaeans). Jews are not Hebrews. They are Canaanites and Edomites. Of those so named in the NT, the ones most likely to be author of this letter are: (1) Judas the apostle (see Lk 6:16; Ac 1:1 and note) -- not Judas Iscariot -- and (2) Judas the brother of the Lord (Mt 13:55; Mk 6:3). The latter is more likely. For example, the author does not claim to be an apostle and even seems to separate himself from the apostles (v. 17). Furthermore, he describes himself as a "brother of James" (v. 1). Ordinarily a person in Jude's day would describe himself as someone's son rather than as someone's brother. The reason for the exception here may have been James's prominence in the church (assembly) at Jerusalem
Although neither Jude nor James describes himself as a brother of the Lord (Prince), others did not hesitate to speak of them in this way (see Mt 13:55; Jn 7:3-10; Ac 1:14; 1Co 9:5; Gal 1:19). Apparently they themselves did not ask to be heard because of the special privilege they had as members of the household of Joseph and Mary.
Possible references to the letter of Jude or quotations from it are found at a very early date: e.g., in Clement of Rome (c. a.d. 96). Clement of Alexandria (155-215), Tertullian (150-222) and Origen (185-253) accepted it; it was included in the Muratorian Canon (c. 170) and was accepted by Athanasius (298-373) and by the Council of Carthage (397). Eusebius (265-340) listed the letter among the questioned books, though he recognized that many considered it as from Jude.
According to Jerome and Didymus, some did not accept the letter as canonical because of the manner in which it uses noncanonical literature. Really!?! But sound judgment has recognized that an inspired author may legitimately make use of such literature -- whether for illustrative purposes or for appropriation of historically reliable or otherwise acceptable material -- and such use does not necessarily endorse that literature as inspired. Under the influence of the Spirit, the church (assembly) came to the conviction that the authority of God stands behind the letter of Jude. The fact that the letter was questioned and tested but nonetheless was finally accepted by the churches (assemblies) indicates the strength of its claims to authenticity.
Recipients
The description of those to whom Jude addressed his letter is very general (see v. 1). It could apply to Jewish Christians, Gentile Christians, or both. No such thing as a Jewish Christian, That's like saying a Devil Saint, Jews are of their father the Devil, Israelites are of their father Yahweh. “Gentiles” are just a nation, or a race of people of the same kindred. It does not mean the non-Jew. The “Gentiles” in scripture are actually the dispersed tribes of Israel. The whole Bible is about the children of Yahweh against the children of the Devil.
Occasion and Purpose
Although Jude was very eager to write to his readers about salvation, he felt that he must instead warn them about certain immoral men circulating among them who were perverting the grace of God. Apparently these false teachers were trying to convince believers that being saved by grace gave them license to sin since their sins would no longer be held against them. Well, don't the “churches” teach this, and that the law was “done away with”? Jude thought it imperative that his readers be on guard against such men and be prepared to oppose their perverted teaching with the truth about God's saving grace.
It has generally been assumed that these false teachers were Gnostics. Yeah, Judaizers, perverters of the Word, Pharisees, children of the Devil, JEWS. Although this identification is no doubt correct, they must have been forerunners of fully developed, second-century Gnosticism. Just look at what comes out of the “churches” today. It is hard to grasp, but He will show you if you pray for discernment.
