Blind leading the blind. False teacher, false prophet, proven wrong with Scripture.
Fair enough, we are charged to be ready to contend for the faith, so then we will dive into the word.
1 Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and a brother of James,
The evidence is quite strong that Jude was the brother of Jesus just as James was and yet he doesn't make that claim. You can imagine a false prophet not bringing that up? I find it very instructive that neither James nor Jude try to use their relationship in the flesh to Jesus to give them some special standing. Likewise they both make it clear that they are servants of the Lord Jesus.
To those who have been called, who are loved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ:
Called -- 29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
Romans 8 gives us 5 things: Foreknew and predestinated (Abraham), Called (Isaac), Justified (Jacob) and glorified (Joseph).
We can see these five in the structure of the children of Abraham. We are children of Abraham, children of the promise. I consider this to be the first correlation between the book of Jude, Revelation 12, the lord's birth in Luke and Christmas. By the time we finish Jude we will see an amazing number of connections.
loved in God -- 20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— 23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me."
These verses by the Lord describe what it means to be loved in God and what it means to be loved even as God loved the Lord. Think about it, the birth of the man child will be "just as" the Lord's birth. Their birth will be so that the world may believe. No doubt this refers to the testimony of saints who have been reborn over the last two thousand years. However, it also seems reasonable that it could refer to the rapture as an event, just like Jesus birth, that could spark a marvelous revival.
Kept for Jesus Christ -- We are talking about the bride of Christ who keeps herself as a virgin. No other epistle uses this term, it refers to watchful care. It is a direct reference to the Lord charging us to watch for His return and the word in greek actually means 'continually kept". This is not once for all. This word is used for Peter when he was 'kept' in prison, confined. It is also used concerning our heavenly inheritance which is kept for us. This word is used again in this epistle when it says the fallen angels kept not their first estate. The idea is that we are constantly vigilant to watch and keep ourselves from falling but that the lord will also work together with us to keep us. The concept here is a direct contradiction to the "once saved always saved" doctrine going around now that we don't need to worry about sin. The word is also used for the church in Philadelphia where it says "He will keep us from the hour of trial". This verse indicates the Lord is keeping us, verse 21 tells us we need to keep ourselves. 1Thessalonians 5:3 says we are kept blameless unto the coming of our Lord and savior.
We are not "kept for Santa". The whole "he knows if you've been bad or good" is just another deceit used to mock the Christians.
2 Mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance.
Mercy is a direct reference to judgement and "the royal law" in James. Jesus said "do unto others as you would have them do unto you". James interprets that to mean that we are to treat others with mercy since we also want to be judged with mercy. What a contrast with the celebration of Santa version of Christmas. Grace is getting what you don't deserve, Mercy is not getting what you do deserve. Mercy implies we are a failure and so we need God's grace and mercy. The whole Santa "gospel" is that you get what you deserve and if you are bad you had better watch out. No mercy with Santa.
Peace -- this is a big term during Christmas, "Peace on earth and good will towards man". We have peace through Jesus Christ. However, there is no peace for the wicked Isaiah 57:21.
Love -- This is the mark of the saints, the way in which the world identifies us. Everyone is talking about the mark of the beast, well we also have a mark and it is love.
These three terms all point to the Lord's coming. We are praying for mercy, we are not worrying about anything but praying about everything and trusting that we will be kept from the hour of trial. And like Philadelphia we are keeping the Lord's command to love others as ourselves.
But this also leads us into the discussion of the apostasy. Where does it begin? With Ephesus losing their first love. Next they lose their peace. Finally if they are completely apostate they treat others without mercy like Jezebel and the inquisition.
Incidentally all these elements show up in the birth of Jesus. The scribes and Pharisees had lost their first love, they knew Jesus was to be born in Bethlehem but didn't so much as go to see. However, hearing about His birth caused everyone in the city to lose their peace and they responded without mercy, killing the 2,000 kids.
