Jude concludes the first half of his letter, explaining the challenge that faces churches in his day: false teachers who have infiltrated the faith by stealth. They may look good on the outside and talk a good talk, but inwardly they are dangerous and toxic. Jude gives us one final warning before he moves on to how we are to contend for the faith against these challenges. He tells us to watch out for the way of the wicked, because if we’re not careful, we might follow their example and discover we are far off the trail and in dangerous territory.

Jude accuses the false teachers of “relying on their dreams.” The Bible has a balanced view of dreams and visions—sometimes they are from God, and sometimes they are not. Spiritual wisdom and discernment are found in knowing the differences. Jude warns us that when we follow godless dreams, we all end up in a nightmare. But it’s not too late for us to wake up and see what is happening for what it really is.

In our human sinfulness and pride, we tend to forget God’s truth and neglect to learn from the lessons of the past, and so we need to be reminded. The three examples from the Old Testament in Jude 5-7 can remind us today how serious God takes sin, and the certainty of His judgment on those who seek to deceive God’s People, Distort God’s Grace, and Deny God’s Son.
