Historical Background of Jude

• Like James he was a Hellenized Galilean Jew
• who wrote with a cultivated Greek style
• James became a believer after Jesus' resurrection
• (1 Cor. 157) and we may assume that Jude
  did too
• Jesus' brothers were part of the praying group
  that
• awaited the coming of the Holy Spirit (Acts
  114)
• Jude's many allusions to the Old Testament
  suggest
• that his original readers were very familiar
  with it
• The time of writing is very difficult to
  ascertain maybe
• some years after the day of Pentecost
• (perhaps A.D. 66 - 69)

Two key points in the book of Jude
1. the faith the teachings of the Apostles
and Prophets synonyms the faith the truth
sometimes the faith the
Gospel 2. apostasy a total departure from
ones faith or religion apostasia (gr)
lit to stand off from or away from Apostasy is
when you have heard the truth and understand what
it says and then you willingly reject it.
(McCalley) The brief epistle of Jude is without
parallel in the New Testament for its vehement
denunciation of libertines and apostates.

Outline of Jude from McCalley

• Jude presents a conflict between two classes of
  men
• Beloved (see v3, 17, 20)
• Certain men referenced as they, these or them
• (see v4, 8, 10, 12,14, 19)
• It also contrasts these two classes of men
• v16-17 -- these vs. but you beloved
• v19-20 -- these vs. but you beloved
• It tells us how to treat these men

Jude 1  Jude, a bond-servant of Jesus Christ, and
brother of James, To those who are the called,
beloved in God the Father, and kept for Jesus
Christ 2  May mercy and peace and love be
multiplied to you. 3  Beloved, while I was
making every effort to write you about our common
salvation, I felt the necessity to write to you
appealing that you contend earnestly for the
faith which was once for all handed down to the
saints. 4  For certain persons have crept in
unnoticed, those who were long beforehand marked
out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who
turn the grace of our God into licentiousness and
deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. 5
 Now I desire to remind you, though you know all
things once for all, that the Lord, after saving
a people out of the land of Egypt, subsequently
destroyed those who did not believe. 6  And
angels who did not keep their own domain, but
abandoned their proper abode, He has kept in
eternal bonds under darkness for the judgment of
the great day, 7  just as Sodom and Gomorrah and
the cities around them, since they in the same
way as these indulged in gross immorality and
went after strange flesh, are exhibited as an
example in undergoing the punishment of eternal
fire. 8  Yet in the same way these men, also by
dreaming, defile the flesh, and reject authority,
and revile angelic majesties.
