Nota de Estudo

Study Note

The threefold 'woe unto them' — going the way of Cain, running after Balaam's error for reward, perishing in Korah's rebellion — presents three Old Testament types of deviant religious leadership as the paradigm for the false teachers Jude opposes. Cain represents murderous rejection of proper worship; Balaam represents the corruption of prophetic ministry for financial gain; Korah represents rebellion against divinely appointed authority. The prophetic perfect 'perished' (apolonto) for Korah's future fate indicates such certainty of judgment that it speaks of it as already accomplished — a feature of Hebrew prophetic rhetoric applied to the new covenant crisis. Together the three types create a comprehensive profile of dangerous religious leadership: doctrinal corruption, financial exploitation, and institutional subversion.
