Thursday Bible Life Today Jude 5-2-2024

Jude is a one-chapter book right before the book of The Revelation of Jesus Christ.
Jude was a brother of James and half brother of Jesus, but he introduces himself as a bondservant of the Lord Jesus Christ, just like James did.
Jude is often called the Acts of the Apostates because of Jude talking of judgment coming upon them for their actions. He compares the dreamers as he calls them and their actions to three groups of people; the unbelieving and disobedient Israelites going through the wilderness, the rebellious and fallen angels who cohabitated with women in Genesis chapter 6, and the people of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Jude also is interesting because of its chiastic pattern as sometimes found in Hebrew writing. That pattern is a symmetrical form in which the first verse or verses of the chapter coincide with the last verse or verses and the others follow the pattern till there is one particular theme or subject in the middle of the chapter.
