Title: Dreamers, Blasphemers, and Schemers (4)
Series: The Book of Jude
Author: Collin Wimberly
Text: Jude 8-11
CIT - Jude describes the apostates that are infiltrating the church.
INTRODUCTION:
Dreams can be good or bad -
Think about the sewing machine. Elias Howe had just about given up on the whole project. He just could not decide where to put the eye of the needle. He had a dream one night that he was being lead to execution for failing to design a sewing machine for the king of a strange country.
He was surrounded by guards who carried unusual spears, they were spears that were pierced through the head. He woke up, realizing instantly that this was the solution to his problem. By morning he had completed the design of the first sewing machine.
Another dream - this one was disturbing. Just a week before he was assassinated, Abraham Lincoln had a dream that he was walking through a silent white house toward the sound of someone sobbing. When he entered the east room he was confronted by the sight of a coffin covered in black. He asked the guard on duty there who was dead, and the soldier said, "The president of the United States."
We read tonight about some dreamers - very dangerous dreamers. Apostates and false prophets who were infiltrating the church. Notice what Jude says about them.
I) THEY WERE DREAMERS - vs. 8
"likewise" In spite of the three examples of apostasy mentioned in vs. 5-7, they persist in their sin. In spite of the warnings and the destruction of those who turned from God, they persist.

These false prophets claimed prophetic revelations. They claimed that God spoke to them in their dreams. They claimed that these dreams were reliable and trustworthy.
God has spoken at times through dreams -
OT - Joel 2:28 -
NT Matthew 1:20 - God spoke to Joseph in a dream.
Most often this refers to false prophets.
