So you believe God had John write this upside down and backward.
"Upside down" is a reference to Chiasm. A reversal of order, based upon the structure that the material is written in. For instance:
The texts of Jude 1:1-25 have a
special chiastic structure (an unbreakable (John 10:35) parallelism in and of themselves, as a for instance, compare:
Jude 1:5 - I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
Jude 1:6 - And the angels 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.
Jude 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 of eternal fire.
Jude 1:8 - Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
[1]
Jude 1:5 - “... out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.”
[like Dathan, Abiram, and Korah [aka Core], Numbers 16:32, 26:10, etc, these all spoke evil of dignities [against Moses, Aaron and others also later spoke against Joshua]
Jude 1:8 - “... speak evil of dignities.”
[2]
Jude 1:6 - “... the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation ...”
[“first estate” refers to the arch-offices that many of the angels left in following Lucifer, who left his own God-given place and sought the place of the Son of God, hence the word: anti-christ, for they came to despise to be ruled by 'Jesus']
Jude 1:8 - “... despise dominion ...”
[3]
Jude 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 ...”
Jude 1:8 - “... [filthy] dreamers defile the flesh ...”
Also a comparison is to be made with the parallel texts of 2 Peter 2:1-22 and its own chiasm. Only two brief comparisons will be made at this time. The full comparison between the two Epistles may be seen in the Appendix 1 – The Epistles of Peter & Jude compared.
For instance, compare 2 Peter 2:10 with Jude 1:8:
2 Peter 2:10 - But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
Jude 1:8 - Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
[1]
2 Peter 2:10 - “... chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness ...”
Jude 1:8 - “... these filthy dreamers defile the flesh ...”
[2]
2 Peter 2:10 - “... despise government ...”
Jude 1:8 - “... despise dominion ...”
[3]
2 Peter 2:10 - “... Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.”
Jude 1:8 - “... speak evil of dignities.”
For instance, compare:
2 Peter 2:11 - Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.
Jude 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, The Lord rebuke thee.
[1]
2 Peter 2:11 - “... angels ...”
Jude 1:9 - “... archangel ...”
[2]
2 Peter 2:11 - “... bring not railing accusation ...”
Jude 1:9 - “... not bring … railing accusation ...”
[3]
2 Peter 2:11 - “... against them ...”
Jude 1:9 - “... against him ...”
[4]
2 Peter 2:11 - “... the Lord.”
Jude 1:9 - “... the Lord ...”
Jud 1:5
I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
Jud 1:6
And the angels 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.
Jud 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 of eternal fire.
Jud 1:8
Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh,
despise dominion,
and speak evil of dignities.
Notice that each verse is a completely separate event,
Jude 1:5 - Egypt (Earth),
Jude 1:6 - Heaven (Heaven),
Jude 1:7 - Sodom and Gomorrah (Earth),
etc, but only tied to Judgment, and none of which mention Noah or the Flood and its events.
Jude 1:8 actually seals this Chiasm in its singular verse by covering again those events
in individual reverse order.
Notice of Jude 1:8:
"dreamers defile the flesh" Jude 1:8
[C2] - compare to Jude 1:7
[C1] [as those in Sodom/Gomorrah]
"despise dominion" Jude 1:8
[B2] - compare to Jude 1:6
[B1] [as the Angels despised God and their God-given place]
"speak evil of dignities" Jude 1:8
[A2] - compare to Jude 1:5
[A1] [as they did to Moses]
Therefore Jude's Chiasm reveals that the words "defile the flesh"
[vs 8 C2] have nothing to do with and are not applied to the Angel passage and those who
"kept not their first estate" and having
"left their habitation" [vs 6 B1] , but rather refers directly to the passage dealing with Men of
"Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them" who
"gave themselves over to fornication" and
"going after strange flesh" [vs 7 C1].
