Contextual Overview

15 judge every person. He is coming to punish all who are against God for all the evil they have done against him. And he will punish the sinners who are against God for all the evil they have said against him." 16 These people complain and blame others, doing the evil things they want to do. They brag about themselves, and they flatter others to get what they want. 17 Dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ said before. 18 They said to you, "In the last times there will be people who laugh about God, following their own evil desires which are against God." 19 These are the people who divide you, people whose thoughts are only of this world, who do not have the Spirit. 20 But dear friends, use your most holy faith to build yourselves up, praying in the Holy Spirit. 21 Keep yourselves in God's love as you wait for the Lord Jesus Christ with his mercy to give you life forever. 22 Show mercy to some people who have doubts. 23 Take others out of the fire, and save them. Show mercy mixed with fear to others, hating even their clothes which are dirty from sin. 24 God is strong and can help you not to fall. He can bring you before his glory without any wrong in you and can give you great joy.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

How that they told you that there should be mockers in the last time,.... :-.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

But, beloved, remember ye ... - There is a striking similarity between these two verses and 2 Peter 3:1-3. It occurs in the same connection, following the description of the false and dangerous teachers against whom the apostle would guard them, and couched almost in the same words. See it explained in the notes at the similar passage in Peter. When Jude (Jude 1:17) entreats them to remember the words which were spoken by “the apostles,” it is not necessarily to be inferred that he was not himself an apostle, for he is speaking of what was past, and there might have been a special reason why he should refer to something that they would distinctly remember which had been spoken by the “other” apostles on this point. Or it might be that he meant also to include himself among them, and to speak of the apostles collectively, without particularly specifying himself.

Mockers - The word rendered “mockers” here is the same which in the parallel place in 2 Peter 3:3 is rendered “scoffers.” Peter has stated more fully what was the particular subject on which they scoffed, and has shown that there was no occasion for it 2 Peter 3:4, following.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jude 1:18. Mockers in the last time — See the notes on 1 Timothy 4:1; 2 Timothy 3:1, c. and particularly 2 Peter 3:2-3, &c., to which Jude seems to refer.

The last time. - The conclusion of the Jewish polity.
