Jude

Which archangel is mentioned by name in Jude's epistle?

Michael. The archangel Michael is mentioned in verse 9, where he is contending with the devil about the body of Moses.

Apocryphal sources name all four of the above as archangels.

The General Epistle of Jude.. Only the epistles of Jude and James have this precise title style.

Only St. John, author of The Revelation, is referred to as 'The Divine'.

Jude, in his epistle, quotes various events, including at least one which is apocryphal, ie, not recorded in either the Old or the New Testament. What is the nature of this apocryphal quote?

The Epistle of Jude (picqero)


A prophecy of Enoch. Enoch was the father of Methuselah, the oldest man recorded in the Bible, and did not die, but was taken by God, (Genesis 5, verses 18 - 24). The apocryphal prophecy quoted by Jude is found in verses 14 - 15, and begins "And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousand of his saints,".



In his opening verse, Jude claims to be the servant of Jesus Christ, and also related to someone. To whom does he say he's related?

The Epistle of Jude (picqero)


James. Verse one of The General Epistle Of Jude opens with the words "Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James,". Two of the twelve disciples of Jesus were called James, and it is not absolutely certain which of these Jude is referring to. According to some sources, it is even possible the James he refers to is neither of these two. The most likely candidate is James, the brother of Jesus, mentioned along with Joses, Simon, and Judas as brethren and sons of Mary, (Matthew 14, verse 55).



In his epistle, Jude mentions two ancient cities by name. Which cities are these?

The Epistle of Jude (picqero)
