September 11, 2001, goes down as one of the worst days in modern American history. Our nation, who seemed nearly exempt from acts of terrorism, learned first-hand of its horrible schemes. If you were alive that day, you remember exactly where you were and what you were doing. The attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and the crash in Pennsylvania were a devastating blow with the engraved reality in our minds that nobody is promised complete safety in this lifetime. The way a terrorist acts is not out in the front line of war. They slip into a nation discreetly, learn the culture completely, master the language thoroughly, and integrate themselves into our lives daily. Then, when nobody is watching, and least expecting it, they show themselves, and their plot is unleashed, unravels, and unfolds for all to see. Just as the hijackers of the airplanes in 2001 left the people of America in turmoil, pain and sorrow, Jude writes against a similar threat in this age: Spiritual Terrorism. Please don’t misunderstand me, the attacks on 9/11 were terrible, but they do not compare to the threat of false teachers infiltrating the church in Jude’s day. Spiritual terrorism is one of the greatest attacks on the church today!
