Jesus Binds Fallen Angels
THE EPISTLE OF JUDE ·
Ready-To-Post Teaching
Read verse 5 before verse 6 and the subject carries straight over.
Jude 5 says it was "Jesus, who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe." Heiser calls that "a shocking statement because it puts Jesus in the Old Testament" - the one who brought Israel out is identified with the figure the Old Testament calls the Angel of the LORD.
Then verse 6: "And the angels who did not keep their own position... he has kept in eternal chains." Same sentence, same subject. The one who holds the Watchers is the one Jude has just named.
Scripture links:
- Jude 5 - "Jesus, who saved a people out of the land of Egypt."
- Jude 6 - "he has kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness."
Jude puts Jesus in Egypt and at the binding of the Watchers. That is a claim about who he always was.
What the Scripture Says
- Jude 6ESV
The angels who did not stay within their own position of authority... he has kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness until the judgment of the great day.
