Quote #10
The Lord, who once for all saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe. And the angels who did not keep their own position, but left their proper dwelling, he has kept in eternal chains in deepest darkness for the judgment of the great day. (Jude 1:5-6, NRSV)
The Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. 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. (Jude 1:5-6, KJV)
Even if God likes you, you're can't escape his wrath. He brought the Israelite people out of slavery—which took a ton of effort, we might add—and then he killed of thousands of them off when they sinned in the wilderness. Same thing with the angels. The Big Guy does not play favorites. Just because he saved you once, doesn't mean he'll do it again. It's not personal—it's strictly business.
Quote #11
It was also about these that Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, "See, the Lord is coming with ten thousands of his holy ones, to execute judgment on all, and to convict everyone of all the deeds of ungodliness that they have committed in such an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things that ungodly sinners have spoken against him." (Jude 1:14-15, NRSV)
Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, 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. (Jude 1:14-15, KJV)
This judgment of the world thing has been written down on God's calendar for quite a while now. Enoch and Jude think he's still planning on keeping the appointment. How about you?
