Woe to Them

“Woe to Them”
Blessings folk!
Creepers:
They blaspheme what they do not understand…as we have seen, they blaspheme the glorious ones
They are destroyed by that which they understand instinctively
Jude 1:10
But these people blaspheme all that they do not understand,
and they are destroyed by all that they,
like unreasoning animals,
understand instinctively.
ESV
They behave as unreasoning animals.
But, the Lord says more…much more…
“Woe to them!”
Jude 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.
ESV
It is from verses like this that we know the recipients were Hebrew in background,
We have likely heard of Cain, but what is “the way of Cain”?
Perhaps we have heard of Balaam, but what was his error to which they abandoned themselves?
Korah?
Most have never heard of him.
What is his rebellion?
All are found in the Old Testament.
All have rather extended passages in the Word.
We shall read them all and receive from the Lord.
For today, be not an unreasoning Creeper who does as Cain, Balaam and Korah.
