This verse is interesting for providing a quote from one of mankind's earliest patriarchs, Enoch. Jude relates a statement made by Enoch concerning the fate of the ungodly apostates. Although Enoch was not a writer of Scripture, the Holy Spirit guided Jude to quote from Enoch, who lived before Noah's flood (2 Peter 1:21). Genesis 5:24 credits Enoch with walking with God before God took him away from earth, apparently without dying, to be with the Lord. Enoch's prediction is quoted in verses 14 and 15 as a prophecy that is fulfilled. Enoch predicted that the Lord will return to earth with a myriad of "holy ones." This seems to refer to angels and raptured Christians (Matthew 25:31; Colossians 3:4).
