JUDE
“Beyond The 66 Books”
Jude
A warning to contend earnestly for the faith against corruption, false teaching, and rebellion in the final days.
Yahudah (Jude)
Contending for the Faith
Introduction
Shalum, Myshphaka
The Letter of Yahudah (Jude) was written by the brother of Ya'aqob (James) and half-brother of YAHUSHA HA-MASHIACH. This urgent letter calls believers to earnestly contend for the faith once delivered to the Qodeshim.
Yahudah warns against false teachers who have crept into the assembly, citing examples of judgment from the Torah and even from the Book of Chanok (Enoch). The letter closes with one of the most beautiful doxologies in Scripture.
Now, Myshphaka, let us read the restored text of Yahudah (Jude).
GREETING
Yahudah, the servant of YAHUSHA HA-MASHIACH, and brother of Ya'aqob, to them that are sanctified by ALUAH the Father, and preserved in YAHUSHA HA-MASHIACH, and called:
Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.
CONTEND FOR THE FAITH
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 which was once delivered unto the Qodeshim.
For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our ALUAH into lasciviousness, and denying the only Master ALUAH, and our YAHUSHA HA-MASHIACH.
EXAMPLES OF JUDGMENT
I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that YAHUAH, having saved the people out of the land of Mitsrayim, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
And the 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.
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 of eternal fire.
Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
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, YAHUAH rebuke thee.
But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
CHARACTERISTICS OF FALSE TEACHERS
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.
These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they 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;
Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, YAHUAH cometh with ten thousands of his Qodeshim,
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.
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.
EXHORTATION TO BELIEVERS
But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our YAHUSHA HA-MASHIACH;
How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the ruach.
But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most qodesh faith, praying in the Ruach Ha'Qodesh,
Keep yourselves in the love of ALUAH, looking for the mercy of our YAHUSHA HA-MASHIACH unto eternal life.
And of some have compassion, making a difference:
And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
DOXOLOGY
Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his esteem with exceeding joy,
To the only wise ALUAH our Saviour, be esteem and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. RUMAMU.
End of Yahudah (Jude)
HalleluYAH!
