[THEY] BLASPHEME THE GLORIOUS ONES
JUDE 8-10

The “glorious ones”;
2 PETER 2:10–11
10 …and especially those who indulge in the lust of defiling passion and despise authority. Bold and willful, they do not tremble as they blaspheme the glorious ones, 11 whereas angels, though greater in might and power, do not pronounce a blasphemous judgment against them before the Lord.

The central role of angelic beings;
DEUTERONOMY 33:2
2 He said, “The LORD came from Sinai…he came from the ten thousands of holy ones, with flaming fire at his right hand.

ACTS 7:53
53 “…you who received the law as delivered by angels and did not keep it.”

GALATIANS 3:19
19 Why then the law? It was added because of transgressions…and it was put in place through angels by an intermediary.

1 CORINTHIANS 11:10
10 That is why a wife ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.

ACTS 7:38
38 This is the one who was in the congregation in the wilderness with the angel who spoke to him at Mount Sinai, and with our fathers. He received living oracles to give to us.

HEBREWS 2:1–2
1 Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard…2 For since the message declared by angels proved to be reliable, and every transgression or disobedience received a just retribution…

MATTHEW 13:47–50
47 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind. 48 When it was full, men drew it ashore and sat down and sorted the good into containers but threw away the bad. 49 So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous 50 and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
GENESIS 19:1
1 The two angels came to Sodom in the evening…

REVELATION 15:1
1 Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and amazing, seven angels with seven plagues, which are the last, for with them the wrath of God is finished.


The body of Moses and disputes with angels;
DANIEL 10:13, 12:1
13 The prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days, but Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me…1 “At that time shall arise Michael, the great prince who has charge of your people. And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never has been since there was a nation till that time. But at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone whose name shall be found written in the book.

REVELATION 12:7–9
7 Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back…

1 THESSALONIANS 4:16
16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.

DEUTERONOMY 34:4–6
4 And the LORD said to him, “This is the land of which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, ‘I will give it to your offspring.’ I have let you see it with your eyes, but you shall not go over there.” 5 So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD, 6 and he buried him in the valley in the land of Moab opposite Beth-peor; but no one knows the place of his burial to this day.

A picture of redemption damaged and restored;
EXODUS 17:6
6 Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock at Horeb, and you shall strike the rock, and water shall come out of it, and the people will drink.”

NUMBERS 20:9–11
9 And Moses took the staff from before the LORD, as he commanded him. 10 Then Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock, and he said to them, “Hear now, you rebels: shall we bring water for you out of this rock?” 11 And Moses lifted up his hand and struck the rock with his staff twice, and water came out abundantly…

DEUTERONOMY 32:4
4 “The Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are justice. A God of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and upright is he.

1 CORINTHIANS 10:1–4
1 For I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, 2 and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, 3 and all ate the same spiritual food, 4 and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual Rock that followed them, and the Rock was Christ.

ZECHARIAH 3:1–7
1 Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him. 2 And the LORD said to Satan, “The LORD rebuke you, O Satan! The LORD who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is not this a brand plucked from the fire?” 3 Now Joshua was standing before the angel, clothed with filthy garments. 4 And the angel said to those who were standing before him, “Remove the filthy garments from him.” And to him he said, “Behold, I have taken your iniquity away from you, and I will clothe you with pure vestments.” 5 And I said, “Let them put a clean turban on his head.” So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the LORD was standing by. 6 And the angel of the LORD solemnly assured Joshua, 7 “Thus says the LORD of hosts: If you will walk in my ways and keep my charge, then you shall rule my house and have charge of my courts, and I will give you the right of access among those who are standing here.

1 CORINTHIANS 10:11
11 Now these things happened to them as an example, but they were written down for our instruction, on whom the end of the ages has come.

ROMANS 15:4
4 For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

Knowing and staying in your spiritual lane;
JAMES 4:7
7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Spiritual dullness and destructive instincts;
1 CORINTHIANS 2:10, 12-14
10 …these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God…12 Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. 13 And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual. 14 The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.

2 PETER 2:12
12 But these, like irrational animals, creatures of instinct, born to be caught and destroyed, blaspheming about matters of which they are ignorant, will also be destroyed in their destruction…

JAMES 1:14
14 But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire.

1 PETER 2:11–12
11 Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against your soul. 12 Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation.

1 JOHN 2:16–17
16 For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world. 17 And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.

Indulging sinful passions now brings eternal destruction later;
ROMANS 8:13
13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
