Jude 1:14-18
이런 사람들을 두고 아담의 칠대손 에녹은 이렇게 예언하였습니다. "보아라, 주님께서 수만 명이나 되는 거룩한 천사들을 거느리고 오셨으니,
이것은 모든 사람을 심판하시고, 모든 불경건한 자들이 저지른 온갖 불경건한 행실과, 또 불경건한 죄인들이 주님을 거슬러서 말한 모든 거친 말을 들추어내서, 그들을 단죄하시려는 것이다."이들은 불만에 싸여서 불평을 늘어놓는 사람들이요, 자기들의 욕심대로 사는 사람들입니다. 그들은 입으로 허풍을 떨다가도, 이익을 챙기기 위해서는 남에게 아첨을 합니다.
사랑하는 여러분, 여러분은 우리 주 예수 그리스도의 사도들이 예고한 그 말을 기억하십시오.
그들은 여러분에게 말하기를, "마지막 때에는 여러분을 조롱하는 자들이 나타나서, 자기들의 경건하지 못한 욕정을 따라 살 것입니다" 하였습니다.Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men: "See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones
to judge everyone, and to convict all the ungodly of all the ungodly acts they have done in the ungodly way, and of all the harsh words ungodly sinners have spoken against him."These men are grumblers and faultfinders; they follow their own evil desires; they boast about themselves and flatter others for their own advantage.
But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold.
They said to you, "In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires."

Was Jude writing to the same churches that Peter had been writing to, then the audience would be the churches in what is today modern Turkey? Regardless, they seem to have been tempted and struggled with their sins quite a bit. The word "ungodly" is prevalent in this passage and it seems to refer to the fleshly acts listed in Galatians 2. In the last times... clearly indicates the present age and the ages to come in a sense. But these times seem to indicate the last phase that God is willing to tolerate with until His return. In terms of the actual time, no one knows for sure. But God wants to be alert and ready for His return. Amen!
