Jude 5-6, "I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. (6) And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day."

The first two important things , we need to pay attention to, is;  "remembrance" and "you once knew this". To me, "remembrance" , tells me that at one time I knew something and someone was drawing my attention to this thing again, because apparently, I had forgotten it.  Then, it goes on to tell us that "you once knew this".

Also, this word, "destroyed" is defined differently, than what we learned it meant in Hebrews 2:14-15, where we were told that Jesus, by His death on the cross, " destroyed him who had the power of death, that is, the devil."  In that verse, we learned that the word "destroyed" meant, "utterly did away with, became idle, nil, and to no effect."  Many, have received this revelation, and the devil no longer has a place in their lives, and some are still believing in their hearts, that all the evil that comes their way, is caused by the devil. And it's an ongoing fight , between the believer and the devil.   This is a great example of  ILLUSION and REALITY.
"Let God be true and all men a liar".  This is your choice.  

But, here in Jude 5, the word "destroyed" means: separation, departure, cessation, completion and reversal.
The separation was UNTIL a person came into the knowledge that THEY HAD NEVER BEEN SEPARATED FROM GOD, or else "the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world", had no effect!  Which , we who are hearing this truth from Father, know that ALL that the Lamb did had an effect.  Praise His Name.

What I want to look at here, is , "THE ANGELS WHO KEPT NOT THEIR FIRST ESTATE, BUT LEFT THEIR OWN HABITATION."

If you remember, in our study of the Book of Revelation, we learned that every time the bible uses the word "angel", it does not always mean what immediately comes to our minds-----divine creatures flying around with wings. It doesn't always refer to the creatures like Michael, the Archangel, or Gabriel, or Raphael or Uriel.  No, we learned that "angel" also, was defined as something different.

Here, in Jude 6, the word "angels" means:  In Strong's Concordance #32, a pastor, a messenger; to bring tidings.
In Thayer's Lexicon it means; a messenger, and , one who is sent.

We even see in Jude 9, that when the Archangel is talked about, he is NAMED. "Michael, the Archangel..." Then angels in Jude 6 is a different kind of angel.

"THE ANGELS WHO KEPT NOT THEIR FIRST ESTATE.."

The word, "kept" means, a watch, keep the eye upon, detain in custody. So, these angels, did not keep a watch; nor did they keep the eye upon, and they didn't detain in custody, their first estate.

The word, "estate',  is different too.  When we think of an estate, we thing of a dwelling , a home, a place or a residence.  But, the word , "habitation" fits this definition.  So, let's look at both of these words, "estate and habitation".

The word, "first" means ; the beginning, in order of time, a commencement, and it means power, rule and principality.

The word, "habitation" means; a residence, a dwelling place.

The word, "estate" mean; that around which an act or state revolves; it means, things concerning a person or thing;  it means , a condition or a state;  it means, one's affairs; it means, the design or purpose for removing something or taking away.   "estate" means, about, through or in the body.
So, this word "first estate" means, the beginning condition or state and everything concerning a person or thing.

So, the first estate doesn't mean where these angels lived.  Habitation, means where they first lived. And they left this habitation.   They did not keep or detain in custody, their first state of being or condition.  They did not detain in custody, the power , the rule, the dominion , that they had in their first place of habitation.

Jude 6, ".....he hath reserved in everlasting chains under DARKNESS unto the judgment of the great day."

Now, we learned that "judgment" simply means to correct what is wrong.  Darkness, means , here in Jude, gloom, as shrouding like a cloud.  

"Chains", in Strong's #1199-1210, means; keeper of the prisoner, a jailor, to bind, or to be in bonds.

If we put these words together, and look at verse 8 , we'll see the connection.

Jude 8, "these filthy DREAMERS',  "despise DOMINION", and "defile the flesh".  Right?

Now, let's look at Genesis.

Gen. 2:21, "And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and he slept.."

If you remember, in our study of Genesis, we learned that the "deep sleep" that was put on Adam (or mankind), meant, "darkness". And we learned that when we sleep, we DREAM.  And what was Adam or mankind told to do?  TO TAKE DOMINION!

OK. Again, in Jude 8, we see that these "angels" are being compared to those of Sodom and Gomorrah. They were "filthy DREAMERS'.  They "despised DOMINION".  and they SPOKE EVIL OF DIGNITIES.
Sort of looks like to me that these angels had something in common with Adam, or mankind.  And notice, that the CHAINS that were the "keeper of the prisoner".

PS 102:18-21, "This shall be written for the generation to come, and the people which shall be created shall praise the Lord.  (19) For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven, did the Lord behold the earth. (20) To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death.  (21) To declare the name of the Lord in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem."

Did you notice, "the generation to come" and "the people who would be created"?  Were we not made NEW CREATURES, by Jesus?  Did you notice that "He hath looked down from the height of His sanctuary, from heave"?  Where is Father's sanctuary?  IT'S IN US!!  Where is heaven?  IT'S IN US!!  It's a state of being.  AN ESTATE, if you will !!!  Did you notice that He "loosed those that were appointed to death"? Well, He did that when the devil was destroyed!!  Who had the power of death?  The devil !!(Heb 2:14-15).

Friends, the angels who kept not their first estate, and left their own habitation, was US, MANKIND!!
The woman or OUR SOUL, had been holding the prisoner in the darkness that was put upon Adam or mankind, since Adam or mankind was put to sleep!!  And what has she caused?

Jude 10, "These speak evil of those things which they now not: but what they know NATURALLY, as brute beasts, in those things THEY CORRUPT THEMSELVES."

This is what the woman has done with us, while we were in that deep sleep, that God caused to come upon us. But, HALLELUJAH!!!!  The GREAT DAY  is here!! And the judgment, or CORRECTING of what has been an ILLUSION, is being changed. We ARE WAKING UP OUT OF THE SLEEP!!  The chains are released. The Light is filling us, or I should say, is filling the WOMAN!!   We were the angels who kept not their first state of being, and left our habitation.  And praise God for the shaking and His saying, "ARISE, SHINE, FOR THY LIGHT IS COME!!!"  He's waking us from the sleep that we learned to take and love , what He told us to do, TAKE DOMINION!!  The woman, is being dominated, by her husband the SPIRIT!!  We're almost FULLY AWAKE and we're saying:

"AS FOR ME, I WILL BEHOLD THY FACE IN RIGHTEOUSNESS; I SHALL BE (AND WE ARE) SATISFIED, WHEN I AWAKE WITH THY LIKENESS!!"  

Rejoice, those who are waking up. Just like with the devil, he no longer has the power of death , over us. The woman, is reuniting with her husband, and the world will see the glory of the Lord in and through us. Father IS LIVING HIS LIFE THROUGH US, His members.  hallelujah!!

Be blessed.

"One man manifesting Christ, is better than 100 men preaching about Him.
May Christ Manifest in You, Daily.

 And "Now" we are wearing the seamless garment, a thought garment woven without a break of His high realization of Truth. "Now"His truth has both interlaced the substance of both our spiritual and body consciousness. Praise, Praise His Holiness, Lord Jesus Christ!
