to execute judgment on everyone
This phrase emphasizes the universality of God's judgment. It reflects the biblical theme that God's judgment is impartial and all-encompassing, as seen in passages like Romans 2:6-11, where God is described as rendering to each person according to their deeds. The concept of divine judgment is rooted in the Old Testament, with prophetic books like Isaiah and Jeremiah frequently warning of God's impending judgment on nations and individuals. The idea of judgment is also central to the teachings of Jesus, who spoke of a final judgment in parables such as the Sheep and the Goats (Matthew 25:31-46).

and to convict all the ungodly
The term "ungodly" refers to those who live in opposition to God's will and righteousness. This conviction is not merely a legal declaration but involves a moral and spiritual awakening to one's sinful state. The conviction of the ungodly is a theme found throughout Scripture, as seen in John 16:8, where the Holy Spirit is said to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. This conviction serves as a precursor to judgment, highlighting the need for repentance and transformation.

of every ungodly act of wickedness
This phrase underscores the comprehensive nature of God's judgment, which includes every act of wickedness. The Bible consistently portrays God as a righteous judge who sees and evaluates all human actions (Hebrews 4:13). The emphasis on "every" act highlights the thoroughness of divine judgment, leaving no sin unaddressed. This aligns with the biblical teaching that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23), necessitating divine intervention and redemption.

and every harsh word spoken against Him
Words hold significant weight in biblical teaching, as seen in passages like Matthew 12:36-37, where Jesus warns that people will give account for every careless word spoken. This phrase highlights the seriousness of blasphemy and slander against God, which are seen as direct affronts to His holiness and authority. The Bible frequently warns against speaking against God, as seen in the experiences of the Israelites in the wilderness (Numbers 21:5-6) and the admonitions in the Psalms and Proverbs about the power of the tongue.

by ungodly sinners.
The repetition of "ungodly" emphasizes the moral and spiritual state of those who oppose God. The term "sinners" is used throughout Scripture to describe those who live in rebellion against God's commands. This phrase serves as a reminder of the biblical teaching that all humanity is in need of salvation due to sin (Romans 5:12). The distinction between the righteous and the ungodly is a recurring theme in the Bible, with the ultimate hope being the redemption and transformation of sinners through faith in Jesus Christ, as seen in passages like 1 Timothy 1:15.

Persons / Places / Events
1. Jude
The author of the epistle, traditionally identified as Jude, the brother of James and half-brother of Jesus. He writes to warn believers about false teachers and to encourage them to contend for the faith.

2. Enoch
Jude references a prophecy attributed to Enoch, a figure from Genesis who "walked with God" and was taken up to heaven without dying. This prophecy is not found in the canonical Old Testament but is part of the apocryphal Book of Enoch.

3. Ungodly Sinners
Individuals who live in opposition to God's will, characterized by their wicked actions and harsh words against God.

4. Judgment
The event where God will execute justice, holding every person accountable for their actions and words.

Teaching Points
The Certainty of Judgment
God's judgment is inevitable and comprehensive. Believers should live with an awareness of this truth, striving to align their lives with God's will.

The Power of Words
Words have significant weight in God's eyes. We must be mindful of our speech, ensuring it reflects godliness rather than ungodliness.

The Danger of Ungodliness
Ungodliness is not just about actions but also attitudes and words. Believers are called to reject ungodliness in all its forms.

The Role of Prophecy
Prophecies, like Enoch's, serve as warnings and encouragements for believers to remain steadfast in their faith.

Contending for the Faith
In light of false teachings and ungodliness, believers must actively defend and uphold the truth of the Gospel.
