📚 Historical Context

The letter of Jude was written in the late 1st century AD by Jude, believed to be the brother of James and possibly Jesus, to address the early Christian church facing infiltration by false teachers and moral compromisers. In Jude 1:17, the author urges believers to recall the specific warnings given by the apostles about scoffers and ungodly individuals who would arise in the last days, drawing from the foundational teachings of Jesus' closest followers. This reflects the broader context of the early church's struggle to maintain doctrinal purity amid growing internal threats and apostasy.
