did not believe.

6. 6 And the angels who did not keep
their proper domain, but left their own
abode, He has reserved in everlasting
chains under darkness for the
judgment of the great day;

7. 7 as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the

9. Proverbs 2:2–8
So that you incline your ear to wisdom, and
apply your heart to understanding; 3 yes, if you
cry out for discernment, and lift up your voice
for understanding, 4 if you seek her as silver,
and search for her as for hidden treasures; 5
then you will understand the fear of the LORD,
and find the knowledge of God.

10. Proverbs 2:2–8
6 For the LORD gives wisdom; from His mouth
come knowledge and understanding; 7 He
stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a
shield to those who walk uprightly; 8 He guards
the paths of justice, and preserves the way of
His saints.

12. 5 But I want to remind you, though you
once knew this, that the Lord, having
saved the people out of the land of
Egypt, afterward destroyed those who
did not believe.

13. “after saving a people out of the land of Egypt...”
”
Historical Record: Exodus 12:29-41

14. Exodus 12:29-41
"Now it came about at midnight that the Lord
struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from
the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne
to the firstborn of the captive who was in the
dungeon, and all the firstborn of cattle. Pharaoh
arose in the night, he and all his servants and all
the Egyptians, and there was a great cry in
Egypt, for there was no home where there was
not someone dead.

15. Exodus 12:29-41
Then he called for Moses and Aaron at night and
said, “Rise up, get out from among my people,
both you and the sons of Israel; and go, worship
the Lord, as you have said. Take both your flocks
and your herds, as you have said, and go, and
bless me also.‖ The Egyptians urged the people,
to send them out of the land in haste, for they
said, ‘We will all be dead’.”‖

16. Exodus 12:29-41
. . . Now the sons of Israel had done according to
the word of Moses, for they had requested from
the Egyptians articles of silver and articles of
gold, and clothing; and the Lord had given the
people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so
that they let them have their request. Thus they
plundered the Egyptians. Now the sons of Israel
journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six
hundred thousand men on foot, aside from
children.

17. Exodus 12:29-41
A mixed multitude also went up with them,
along with flocks and herds, a very large number
of livestock. . . . Now the time that the sons of
Israel lived in Egypt was four hundred and thirty
years. And at the end of four hundred and thirty
years, to the very day, all the hosts of the Lord
went out from the land of Egypt.”

18. “destroyed those who did not believe”
Historical Record: Numbers 13-14

19. The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
“How long shall I bear with this evil congrega-
tion who are grumbling against Me? I have
heard the complaints of the sons of Israel,
which they are making against Me. Say to them,
‘As I live,‘ says the Lord, ‘just as you have
spoken in My hearing, so I will surely do to you;
your corpses will fall in this wilderness, even all
your numbered men, according to your
complete number from twenty years old and
upward, who have grumbled against Me.’
Numbers 14:26-38

20. ‘Surely you shall not come into the land in
which I swore to settle you, except Caleb the
son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.
Your children, however, whom you said would
become a prey I will bring them in, and they will
know the land which you have rejected. But as
for you, your corpses will fall in this wilderness.
Your sons shall be shepherds for forty years in
the wilderness, and they will suffer for your
unfaithfulness, until your corpses lie in the
wilderness.
Numbers 14:26-38

21. According to the number of days which you
spied out the land, forty days, for every day you
shall bear your guilt a year, even forty years,
and you will know My opposition. I, the Lord,
have spoken, surely this I will do to all this evil
congregation who are gathered together against
Me. In this wilderness they shall be destroyed,
and there they will die’.”
Numbers 14:26-38

22. As for the men whom Moses sent to spy out the
land and who returned and made all the
congregation grumble against him by bringing
out a bad report concerning the land, even
those men who brought out the very bad report
of the land died by a plague before the Lord.
But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of
Jephunneh remained alive out of those men
who went to spy out the land.
Numbers 14:26-38

23. “We learn from history
that we learn nothing
from history.”

24. “destroyed those who did not believe”
Personal Application:
Hebrews 3:18–4:2
And to whom did He swear that they would not enter
His rest, but to those who did not obey? 19 So we see
that they could not enter in because of unbelief. 1
Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest,
let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of
it. 2 For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as
to them; but the word which they heard did not profit
them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it.

25. “destroyed those who did not believe”
Personal Application:
1 Corinthians 10:5-11
8 Nor let us commit sexual immorality, as some
of them did, and in one day twenty-three
thousand fell; 9 nor let us tempt Christ, as some
of them also tempted, and were destroyed by
serpents; 10 nor complain, as some of them also
complained, and were destroyed by the
destroyer.

26. “destroyed those who did not believe”
Personal Application:
I Corinthians 10:5-11
11 Now all these things happened to them as
examples, and they were written for our
admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages
have come.

27. “destroyed those who did not believe”
Personal Application:
I Corinthians 10:5-11
5 But with most of them God was not well
pleased, for their bodies were scattered in the
wilderness. 6 Now these things became our
examples, to the intent that we should not lust
after evil things as they also lusted. 7 And do not
become idolaters as were some of them. As it is
written, “The people sat down to eat and drink,
and rose up to play.”

28. “destroyed those who did not believe”
Personal Application:
Belief = Behavior

29. 6 And the angels who did not keep
their proper domain, but left their own

31. Historical Record: Genesis 6:1-4
Now it came to pass, when men began to
multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters
were born to them, 2 that the sons of God saw
the daughters of men, that they were beautiful;
and they took wives for themselves of all whom
they chose. 3 And the LORD said, “My Spirit shall
not strive with man forever, for he is indeed
flesh;
“and angels who did not keep their own domain ...”

32. Historical Record: Genesis 6:1-4
Now it came to pass, when men began to

were born to them, 2 that the sons of God saw

33. Historical Record: Genesis 6:1-4
yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty
years.” 4 There were giants on the earth in those
days, and also afterward, when the sons of God
came in to the daughters of men and they bore
children to them. Those were the mighty men
who were of old, men of renown.
“and angels who did not keep their own domain ...”

34. “He has kept in eternal bonds under darkness ...”
• Kept: same word used to describe
believers secured by God for glory; these
are secured by God for punishment
• Eternal bonds: these angels are bound with
chains, while believers are free in Christ
• Darkness: always symbolic for judgment.
Darkness is simply defined as the absence of
light. Believers have the light of God in their
lives while the enemies of God live in darkness

criminal who lived in the 1800‘s. When
he was being taken to the gallows, a
priest followed him and read to him
about Heaven and Hell. When the priest
began talking about Hell, Peace asked
him “Are you talking about Hell?”‖
The priest responded “Yes.” Peace then said, “Let me tell
you something – I‘m about to be hanged right now. And
if I believed 1/10th of what you said, I would crawl across
England on my hands and knees on broken glass if I could
just save one person from this Hell that you so glibly talk
about.”‖
