LETTER OF JUDE (Part 8)
a) The jeopardy of getting poor spiritually for loving the pleasures (Prov 21:17):
• Jud 1:7 -> “As Sodom and Gomorrha and the neighbouring cities, in like manner, having given themselves to fornication and going after other flesh, were made an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire.”.
Seeking other sources of pleasure apart their family, each dweller of Sodom and Gomorrah desired to be independent (rejected the authority of the family) from everybody so that they could feel all delight when and where they desired, without any hindrances.
Each person of Sodom and Gomorrah, like the angels of Jude 6, forsook their own habitation in order to give themselves to fornication. The young, instead of staying with the parents, serving them in Jesus’ plan for their home, they preferred to go out to prostitute. The married ones, instead of keeping their principality (their home), opt for adulterating.
Understanding that, when someone have sexual intercourse with someone else, they become one flesh (1Cor 6:16), when someone decide to have sexual relationship with someone that Jesus didn’t project to them, they are going after other flesh.
Go after other flesh is so grievous that Jesus used Sodom and Gomorrah as example of eternal fire.
b) The risk of walking in the way of Cain, that is to say, breaking relationships (including with the Creator and His word) in order to get faster to the target (contradicting Prov 20:21) or to receive all the glory exclusively for themselves;
c) The danger of giving up on themselves (and, thereby, ushering in teachings very poisonous to the Kingdom of Heaven) in exchange of great profits which, in the end, won’t satisfy.
d) The peril of perishing for going after rebellions promoted by people who don’t have any acceptance before the Creator (Prov 24:21) and, most of the times, in exchange of nothing beneficial.
• Jud 1:11 -> “Woe to them! For they walked in the way of Cain and abandoned themselves for the sake of gain to Balaam's error and perished in Korah's rebellion.”.
e) Becoming target of the judgment of the Creator:
• Jud 1:14,15 -> “Now of these Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying: Behold, the Lord cometh with thousands of his saints: to execute judgment upon all and to reprove all the ungodly for all the works of their ungodliness, whereby they have done ungodly: and for all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against God:”.
In short, Jude 5-11 corroborate with the certainty of the divine judgment against the sin and everybody who practices them.
Have a good day. Tomorrow we will carry on.
