In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

The Arabian Peninsula A crossroads of three continents: Africa Asia Europe Mostly desert with a small amount of fertile land
Desert and Town Life Bedouins, Arab nomads, thrive in the desert. Bedouins live in clans, which give support to members. Some Arabs settle near oases or market towns.
Crossroads of Trade and Ideas Many sea and land trade routes pass through Arabia. Trade extends to the Byzantine and Sassanid empires to the north.
Mecca Pilgrims come to Mecca to worship at the Ka’aba, and ancient shrine. Arabs associate shrine with Hebrew prophet Abraham and monotheism. Some tribes worship many gods and spirits, and bring idols to Ka’aba. Some Arabs believe in one God—Allah in Arabic
Early Life Around A.D. 570 Muhammad is born into a powerful Meccan clan. He becomes a trader, and marries a wealthy businesswoman, Khadijah.
Revelations By age 40, Muhammad spends much time in prayer and meditation He claims to hear the angel Gabriel tell him he is a messenger of Allah. Muhammad found the religion of Islam—meaning “submission to the will of Allah” Many join him and become Muslim—meaning “one who has submitted.”
The Hijrah Muhammad’s followers are attacked; together they leave Mecca in 622. Hijrah was the Muslim migration from Mecca to Yathrib (renamed Medina).
The Hijrah (continued) Muhammad attracts many more followers and becomes a great leader. Political leader—joins Jews and Arabs of Medina in a single community. Religious leader—draws more converts to Islam. Military leader—tackles growing hostilities between Mecca and Medina
Returning to Mecca In 630, Muhammad and 10,000 followers return to Mecca Meccan leaders surrender. Muhammad destroys idols in the Ka’aba. Meccans convert to Islam. Muhammad unifies Arabian Peninsula.
Islam The main teaching of Islam is that there is only one god, Allah. People are responsible for their own actions; there is good and evil. Islamic monument in Jerusalem—Dome of the Rock. Muslims believe Muhammad rose to heaven here to learn Allah’s will. Jews believe Abraham was prepared to sacrifice son Isaac at that same site.
The Five Pillars: Muslims must carry out these five duties. Statement of Faith to Allah and to Muhammad as his prophet. Prayer five times a day. Muslims may use the mosque for this (an Islamic house of worship). Giving alms, or money for the poor. Fasting between dawn and sunset during the holy month of Ramadan. Performing the hajj—pilgrimage to Mecca—at least once in a lifetime.
A Way of Life Customs and traditions of Islam guide Muslim’s lives. A scholar class, ulama, and teachers apply religion to life. There are no priests.
Sources of Authority Original Source of authority for Muslims is Allah. Qur’an (Koran)—holy book, contains revelations Muhammad claims to have received from Allah. Muslims follow Sunna—Muhammad’s example for proper living. Guidance of the Qur’an and Sunna are assembled in a body of law called shari’a .
Links to Judaism and Christianity Muslims believe Allah is the same God worshiped by Christians and Jews. Muslims believe the Qur’an, Gospels, and Torah contain God’s will as revealed through others. Muslims, Christians, and Jews trace their roots to Abraham. All three religions believe in heaven, hell, and a day of judgment. Shari’a law requires Muslim leaders to extend religious tolerance.
