Notes

Jude 1:8

glorious beings: This likely refers to evil angels. In the Old Testament and Judaism, angels played an important role in judgment. The false teachers might have been minimizing the reality of a future judgment (see 1:18; 2 Peter 3:3–4) or denying the glorious origin of these angels who rebelled against God (compare 2 Peter 2:10).

Jude 1:5–16

This section explains "designated long ago for condemnation" in 1:4 by using Old Testament examples of God's judgment on false teachers.
