Jude 1:6

Posted by joncooper

Jude 1:6: “And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.”

Jude is talking about the fallen angels that took human wives and produced the Nephilim – the race of giant, evil beings that lived before the Flood. Jude tells us that these fallen angels have been “reserved in everlasting chains under darkness”. Unlike other demons, these beings are not at liberty to roam the earth; instead they are imprisoned in a special hell (literally; the word that is translated “hell” in this verse is used only in this one place, and refers to a distinct and separate place). There they wait in darkness until the Great White Throne Judgment, at which time they will be cast into the Lake of Fire and tormented day and night, forever and ever.

I have written more about this here: The Nephilim
