Mockers in the Last Days – Jude’s warning to the world

How would anyone know if God approves of chocolate anyway?

Many of Christ’s early followers were concerned about “the end of times.” Not much has changed since then. In fact, the biggest change is probably that discussions concerning the “final days” are no longer canonized as scripture.


The Apocalypse: Armageddon
Here’s the point: Jude had a very important warning for his fellow believers who would still be alive in the days prior to the apocalypse. “Watch out. Before the end, there will be people who make fun of you.”


Then, as if that wasn’t bad enough, Jude added “These people will do stuff they enjoy, without checking with God first to make sure it’s ok! They will even live their lives separate from the followers of Christ!”


Now that is scary! People who follow after their own desires: they might even eat chocolate!

Moral: there is no pit deep enough, or mountain tall enough to hide you from chocolate lovers!

Ref: Jude 1:17-19

But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; that they told you there would be mockers in the last time, who would walk after their own ungodly lusts. These are they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. (Jude 1:17-19, WBT)
