The Shang Dynasty ruled from around 1766 BCE to 1027 BCE in northern China. They established their capital city of Yin and developed a system of writing using pictographs. Society was divided into classes like kings, nobles, and peasants. The Zhou Dynasty then ruled from 1027 BCE to 221 BCE, establishing a feudal system. They expanded Chinese culture and saw developments in metallurgy, coinage, and trade. By the Warring States period starting in the 7th century BCE, the king's power declined as noble families fought for control.

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.
