LETTER OF JUDE (Part 10)
a) save with fear those who are in the fire, hating even the garment spotted by the flesh:
• Jud 1:23 -> “And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.”.
This recalls what took place in the time of Ezekiel:
• Eze 15:2-5 -> “Son of man, how does the wood of the vine surpass any wood, the vine branch that is among the trees of the forest? Is wood taken from it to make anything? Do people take a peg from it to hang any vessel on it? Behold, it is given to the fire for fuel. When the fire has consumed both ends of it, and the middle of it is charred, is it useful for anything? Behold, when it was whole, it was used for nothing. How much less, when the fire has consumed it and it is charred, can it ever be used for anything!”.
Israel, for their sins, was like a wood of the vine (useless for any work), even before suffer any damage. After the destruction by the fire, they became more useless, as in the time of Amos.
• Amo 4:11 -> “I overthrew some of you, as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were as a brand plucked out of the burning; yet you did not return to me,” declares the LORD”.
After Creator overthrew some of the Israelites, they became as dirty and useless as a brand pluck out of fire.
Thus, Israel was in the time of Zechariah:
• Zec 3:2 -> “And the LORD said to Satan, “The LORD rebuke you, O Satan! The LORD who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is not this a brand plucked from the fire?””.
Joshua, the High Priest, was representing the body of Moses (to wit, Israel). Israel, after coming of the captivity of Babylon, continued full of sins and very oppressed by the enemies because the Creator leave them in this situation.
Even after they suffer the fire of His nemesis, they stayed in the sin, focused on their interests (Hag 1:2-4) and, thereby, completely ineffectual.
Thus, we ought to seek in Jesus that the person can repent, convert and be taken of the fire.
In relation to the garment spotted by the flesh, this recall Levitical:
• Lev 15:16,17 -> “If a man has an emission of sperm, he shall bathe his whole body in water and be unclean until the evening. And every garment and every skin on which the sperm comes shall be washed with water and be unclean until the evening.”.
Every garment that is contaminated by the sensuality ought to be hated. In the spiritual sense, every justice contaminated by our flesh should be taken down (we need to seek out and practice the justice of the kingdom of heaven – Mat 6:33).
Have a good day. Tomorrow we will carry on.
