Jude 1:13

Verse 13. Raging waves of the sea.

Another view of these creatures is presented. When the sea is lashed into fury by the winds, her waves dash and boil into mountains of white foam. These false teachers are likened thereunto. They were turbulent and furious, attempted to place no restriction whatever upon their evil temper or tongue, or upon their lewd and dissolute actions, even when among disciples at their sacred feasts, and even here showed the filthiness of their own habits, and thus exhibited their own shame and disgrace. The evangelical prophet speaks of just such characters in the following language: "The wicked are like the troubled sea when it can not rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt" (Isaiah 57:20).

Wandering stars.

Not fixed, unstable, unsettled, irregular. Blackness of darkness forever.

A fearful doom.

Lived where the light was shining in all its God-given splendor, and suddenly all shut out and midnight's dark pall settled over them for all eternity. What a fearful ending to contemplate.
