Jude Chiasmus

I have been sitting on this chiasmus of Jude for while now. I brought this chiasmus in Jude out for another post I have not finished yet.

There is much if I had the time to bring out from this book and chiasmus I would. I will say something briefly about the body of Moses which is in the first H stanza in verse 9. Just as the body of the Messiah / Christ is symbolic for the church, so is the body of Moses is about the church. The second H stanza in verse 17 supports this with bringing up the recipient of the letter, who is a believer, and bringing up how the same words, which is Torah, was taught before the apostles were sent out to teach non-believers.

Untill I take the time to further expound the book of Jude, I hope this chiasmus I brought out will help you find more meaning from this work inspired by YHWH Elohim.
