6. What did the Messiah say? Matthew 12:31.

COMMENT: We have read earlier, “None that go unto her return again, nei-
ther take they hold of the paths of life”. The consequences are identical!

To Conclude

From the context of the Book of Jude, there are persons who are, “not hav-
ing the spirit”, that are obviously found within the assemblies of YEHOVAH’s
people. Like it was in Sodom and Gomorrah, these had gone after “strange"
(= “hetros” = not the same) flesh that was not matching theirs.

1. What does Jude say they are? Jude 6.

COMMENT: Their mouths speak“great swelling words” and they like being
admired -- (Jude 13). They may even be pastors, have ministries, church
newsletters and sound more spiritual than others. They will practice a form of
separation (Jude 19).

To those untaught, the genetic code may seem far removed from the Gospel
as commonly presented. But the real “great commission” is about the King-
dom of Heaven. This is the Kingdom that is to be restored to Israel. This
Kingdom has a king, laws, territory and a particular people belonging to that
king. The Gospel is addressed to Israelites and is about Israelites. It is to
those whose names were written in the “Book of Life” and written
there “before the foundation of the earth”. This is to whom the Gospel is
addressed alone. The disciples were told to go to “all nations” where Israel-
ites had been “scattered”.

2. What was the message to these Israelites that were found within, but not
“of” other races? Matthew 4:17.

COMMENT: The Messiah said to his disciples, “But rather rejoice, because
your names are written in heaven” (Luke 10:20). The Messiah had not paid
the price at that time! Each of these Israelite disciples’ names was AL-
READY “written” (in the Book)!! They did not write them in themselves, or
do anything to have their names written in, because the grammatical "voice"
of this statement is passive. Where were the names written? They were al-
ready written in heaven in YEHOVAH God’s Book. WHEN were their
names written? Again -- it was, “before the foundation of the world”!

3. Was the basis of being found written in the Book a matter of genetic elec-
tion? I Peter 1:2.
