Jude 1:1-25 KJV
[1] Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called: [2] mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied. [3] Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. [4] For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. [5] I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. [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. [7] Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. [8] Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. [9] Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. [10] But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves. [11] Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. [12] These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; [13] raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. [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. [16] These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage. [17] But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; [18] how that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. [19] These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. [20] But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, [21] keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. [22] And of some have compassion, making a difference: [23] and others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. [24] Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, [25] to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

Note for 2024/08/15
Please Note:
Today, I will leave a long list of scriptures at the end of the document, for those that want to look deeper into the subject. The referenced scriptures will be provided with links on the blog and in the pdf document I make available on some platforms, though I will not include it on the shorter platforms like WhatsApp.
Let us proceed with the note for today.
Who of us has seen an angel? In a like manner, I can ask, who have behold our Lord Jesus Christ, face to face? Jude wanted to write on the common faith, but instead found it necessary to write on these strange men that have come in unawares. This, one of the strongest testimonies for the Book of Enoch, that indeed they had knowledge of the content of it, at very least.
I try my very best to keep the language of these notes so that most can read and understand, if the Spirit of GOD is in them. Yes, the sentences are processed in the Spirit, for my opinion is just that, an opinion, but the Holy Spirit will speak in line with the Word of GOD as the Word of GOD is edged into the believer's heart. In writing and in reading, the qualification comes by the Spirit within, of things unseen, a faith established by the grace of GOD. Friends, does the unseen then exist or not? What is the core of our faith in Christ, who Himself spoke a special blessing out on those who believed not having seen.
This letter of Jude, it speaks on things unseen too, even of the very things that Paul points to in Ephesians 6. Moses wrote of them in Genesis 6 and we cannot forget what our Most High GOD said to the woman and the serpent in Genesis 3:15. Did Christ not drive out Legion into the pigs? What then moves the flesh, in the absence of the Holy Spirit of GOD? What then is ungodly, but that which is outside His will for mankind? Who are these passengers that ride a man like a beast? Christ spoke on these evil spirits, even as He spoke on how a spirit will return to a house that has been swept clean with seven stronger than him, leaving the latter state of a man worse than it was before. Christ spoke of the strong man of a house, so I ask you again, do you believe what you read. If Christ is our Savior, what and who are we saved from then?
What brings contention in the flesh, which we subdue by the Holy Spirit of GOD? What feeds the desires of the flesh to stand in rebellion against our Most High GOD and Father in Heaven? These questions, indeed, have answers, but what is an answer without belief? These are things that should be investigated, for it is the Word of GOD that speaks of Satan, devils and evil spirits as the enemies of GOD, and as man is formed in the likeness of GOD, these also, the enemies of mankind. Who is it that brought the woman in Eden to disobey the LORD? And who is the seed of the serpent, God speaks of in Genesis 3:15? Who are the giants of Genesis 6, the mentioned nephilim and the sons of Anak? Who then was Goliath and his four brothers? What of Og of Bashan? Who then are the ungodly men, what are the abominations mentioned in Genesis 6? Dare I include how Christ revered to those that came to him with questions to trick him as the seed of vipers and serpents? These are strange men, ungodly men, whose roots are not in God's creation, but by the defiance of His order and of strange flesh, when the angels did not keep their estate, but took for themselves wives from the daughters of mankind. Appearing as a man, but with a dark, evil and ungodly spirit. Christ spoke of these in the parable of the seed sown in the field, where the enemy came in by night and planted weeds among the wheat. This is of goats and sheep that will be separated, just as He spoke of in Matthew 25. These always seek to corrupt what GOD has made.
Friends, this is a huge study, so for some the words of Jude seem somewhat foreign. But, in the understanding of this, one can also make sense of how King David made war on those in Canaan. To kill every man, woman and child in a city, even the beasts. And how in some cities, even all the loot was set to be destroyed. It was about abominations in the sight of GOD, for what is strange flesh then, that Jude writes on, here? Who then is the enemy of GOD and mankind?
At harvest time, the weeds will be taken out first and cast into fire, according to the parable of Christ. And then the wheat and the chaff will be separated. The chaff thrown in the fire and the seed taken to the threshing floor. Have you not read how King David bought a threshing floor from a Jebusite where King Solomon built the first Temple for the LORD in Jerusalem? What then was the restriction from mingling with those in Canaan for the Israelites, by the Instruction of the LORD our GOD?
Now, we still know in part, but we know The Way unto Salvation. We know, by the Words of Christ, that the Lord will send angels to harvest the field of GOD. Keep this in mind, as we head closer to reading the Revelations of Jesus Christ to John on Patmos. Then you will see the parable described with much more detail.
We cannot save ourselves, but we can accept Salvation by the Son of GOD. The Lamb of GOD, Who was a one time offering for sin and death, to redeem the children of GOD. Those that are undefiled by the seed of the serpent.
I will try my best to provide as much referenced material as possible on the blog. For those who follow along in the YouVersion Bible app, please see other scriptures highlighted throughout this day.
But friends, if you need true clarity, it is best received from GOD. Pray to the Lord, that He will make it clear for you, even as we pray for the whole armor of GOD as per Ephesians 6. The LORD is our Protector. He is our Deliverer and Savior. For man this is impossible, but for GOD it is more than possible. Understand then, where contention with God Almighty stems from. It is indeed a rebellion, and mankind is being tricked by the seed of the trickster.
May GOD bless and keep you. May Christ be the One who reveals things for you too. All that we need to know is contained within the Word of GOD, so we should know the Word of GOD, even as if it is edged onto our hearts.
Shalom.

2 Corinthians 9:6-11 KJV
[6] But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. [7] Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. [8] And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: [9] (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: His righteousness remaineth for ever. [10] Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;) [11] being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.

We, from the House of Bread community, are currently in the process of establishing an internet-based Radio Broadcast Station, under the banner of “The Stern Watch”. It is still in the testing phase, while globally available, it is focussed more for the South African audience, in that there will be Afrikaaner sessions in our mother tongue. More information will follow.

Supporting Texts for the Note
Friends, I pose the question to you today: How much of the Word must we discount from the Word of GOD to adopt the doctrines of men, even inspired by these evil spirits that we read of here. Here, read the scriptures below and pray to The Lord for understanding. If we do not see the whole of the Word of GOD, we can easily see GOD in a different light than what He stands in. He is not a Tyrant, but by His mercy and grace He has stood in our Protection since the dawn of man, even ever since the origin of sin and the fall of mankind.
Now, indeed there are arguments that can be made one and the other way, of what this seed refers to, but it is a strong case for the sake of a spiritual seed. One of The Truth and the other of lies and deception, though we cannot discount the reference to the giants. This is an exhaustive study and one that even advanced scholars differ from one another in diverse ways. Regardless, we cannot simply remove the text from the Word of GOD.
I sincerely hope these scriptures will be an advantage in the Spirit for you, but remember, that it is in GOD we trust, by the Blood of Christ are we saved. Do not permit this to bring divisions among you, but stay in the teachings of Christ, that by their fruit shall we know them. This is still just skimming the surface on this subject.
Genesis 3:15 KJV
[15] and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Genesis 6:1-8 KJV
[1] And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, [2] that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. [3] And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. [4] There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. [5] And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. [6] And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. [7] And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. [8] But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.

Joshua 15:13 KJV
[13] And unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a part among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua, even the city of Arba the father of Anak, which city is Hebron.

Numbers 13:32-33 KJV
[32] And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature. [33] And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.

Deuteronomy 3:11 KJV
[11] For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.
https://bible.com/bible/1/deu.3.11.KJV
Short Note
According to a quick search, this length of the bed was about 4.1 meters long. He was a giant. Now while there is no special interest at this time to go to the origin stories of these men of great stature, it is still important to know that the Word does report on this consistently.

Genesis 10:8-12 KJV
[8] And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. [9] He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD. [10] And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. [11] Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah, [12] and Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.
https://bible.com/bible/1/gen.10.8-12.KJV
Short Note
In Genesis 11 we read of the building of the Tower of Babel, which was the early root of what we know as Babylon. Note: he began to be a mighty one.
With a bit of a fuller understanding, we can quickly see where the source of rebellious nature springs forth from.
Genesis 11:4-9 KJV
[4] And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. [5] And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. [6] And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. [7] Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. [8] So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. [9] Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

John 8:42-47 KJV
[42] Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. [43] Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. [44] Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. [45] And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. [46] Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? [47] He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

Matthew 3:7 KJV
[7] But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
https://bible.com/bible/1/mat.3.7.KJV
Matthew 23:29-33 KJV
[29] Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, [30] and say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. [31] Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. [32] Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. [33] Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
https://bible.com/bible/1/mat.23.29-33.KJV
Mark 5:1-13 KJV
[1] And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes. [2] And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, [3] who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains: [4] because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him. [5] And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones. [6] But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him, [7] and cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not. [8] For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit. [9] And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many. [10] And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country. [11] Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding. [12] And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them. [13] And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.
https://bible.com/bible/1/mrk.5.1-13.KJV
Ephesians 6:12-13 KJV
[12] For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. [13] Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
https://bible.com/bible/1/eph.6.12-13.KJV
Short Note
This study is too long to capture in just one day. Though I have given you many scriptures in highlight, that you may look into it further.
Man is obsessed with the world we see, but it is the unseen world that is where the enemies of GOD operate from. As with Legion, we have seen possession and here we learn of the true contention in the earth.
So, again, the question. Who will you then serve, for man is moved by the Spirit that indwells with him. Understand the strongman concept that Christ spoke on.
Mark 3:23-29 KJV
[23] And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan? [24] And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. [25] And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand. [26] And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. [27] No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house. [28] Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme: [29] but he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:
https://bible.com/bible/1/mrk.3.23-29.KJV
Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43 KJV
[24] Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: [25] but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. [26] But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. [27] So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? [28] He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? [29] But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. [30] Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
[36] Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. [37] He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; [38] the field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; [39] the enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. [40] As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. [41] The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; [42] and shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. [43] Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
