Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
1:17 completely destroyed: See Lev 27:28-29. • Hormah: See study note on Num 21:2-3. 1:17-23 After condemning the false teachers, Jude again encourages his readers directly (see 1:3-4). They had been warned by the apostles about false teaching (1:17-19). They should encourage each other in the faith (1:20-21) and reach out to those who might be going astray through the false teachers’ influence (1:22-23). 1:17 what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ predicted: Such predictions are in Acts 20:29-30; 1 Tim 4:1-3; 2 Tim 3:1-5.
