Jude addresses the culture that will be prevalent during the End Times – a culture that is even now rampant within the visible church (the place where all the action is centered). After all, it is from within the visible church that the platform is laid for the Beast to deceive those who are to otherwise know better. We will address the Who, What, Where, When and Why of this letter and jump into verse 1. But be warned, Jude pulls from stories dealing with ancient Israel, angels, demons, cities of old, as well as the time right after the Garden of Eden through the final judgment on the earth. Jude even quotes extra-Biblical documents, assuming that we should all be readily familiar with the information.
