Episode Details

Who are the mockers "in the last time" in Jude 1:16-19 (KJV)? Murmurers, complainers and mockers walk after their own lusts, and Jude's answer is to grow.
Book of Jude Pt 6, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

Verse 16 starts with murmurers. Matt says murmuring in the Bible is "people who know the Lord and yet they still complain": Israel "murmured in their tents" (Psalm 106:25), and Paul warns "Neither murmur ye" (1 Corinthians 10:10).

Walking after their own lusts: "in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves" (2 Timothy 3:1-2), "evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse" (2 Timothy 3:13), itching ears (2 Timothy 4:3), and "every man did that which was right in his own eyes" (Judges 21:25; Proverbs 14:12; Jeremiah 16 and 18; Genesis 2-3).

Verses 17-19: having men's persons in admiration is respect of persons (James 2:1-9). Saul "feared the people" (1 Samuel 15:24), and the chief rulers "loved the praise of men more than the praise of God" (John 12:43). Jude's mockers are Peter's scoffers (2 Peter 3:3), and the answer is "grow in grace" (2 Peter 3:18) and abide in the vine (John 15). Grow or die.
