Jude 1:14-15

Jude 1:14: “And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”

First of all, there is a manuscript going around today that claims to be the lost book of Enoch. Whether it is genuine or not I do not know; it may be, although I very much doubt it. However, this book is not Scripture. It contains heresy and error, and it has content that contradicts the Scriptures. No matter how interesting it may be, it must be stressed that this book is not part of the Bible and must not be treated as such.

That being said, Jude does record that Enoch was a prophet, that Enoch prophesied some things, and that what he said will come to pass. I believe that Enoch is speaking about what we find in Revelation 19:14, where the Lord returns with the armies of Heaven to battle those that have gathered to wipe out the Jews. (This is also known as the Second Coming.) Look how similar the passage is to what Enoch prophesied thousands of years earlier:

Revelation 19:11: “And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.”

In Christ’s first coming He brought joy and glad tidings, good will toward men. However, in His Second Coming He will bring judgment, wrath, destruction, and death. In His first coming He came to save the world; in His Second Coming He comes to judge the world. The kingdoms of the world will become the kingdoms of the Lord, and He will reign forever and ever.

Notice what Jude 1:15 says: “To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.” In other words, judgment is coming. The Lord has tarried, but that will not last forever. What Enoch and the apostle John prophesied all those years ago will surely come to pass.
