The Perversity of Sodom

Jude wants his hearers to recognize the parallels between false believers, who are among them, but who will not enter into the blessings of the age to come. Those who did not believe were destroyed. They failed to enter into the promised land and perished in the wilderness. Both the watchers and the men of sodom go after strange flesh. In some way, these examples are comparable with false teachers. The three sins he lists are sexual perversions, rejection of authority, presumably that of christ and his servants, and blaspheming of angels. He elaborates upon their sins in verses eight to ten, connecting them with the sins of the groups previously mentioned with in like manner.
