Mark Allfree attends the Christadelphian Church or ecclesia that meets at Nottingham Forest Road and he lives in Mansfield about 20 kms north of Nottingham.
In 2022 Mark wrote a commentary on the Epistle of Jude and we had a couple of great conversations with Mark.
Conversations 69 and 70 if you want to listen to those.
It was his study of Jude that alerted him to the prevalence of the work of Michael the Archangel more broadly throughout the scripture. Mark argues that much of the work of Yahweh was carried out by his agent who bore His, that is Yahweh’s name. Details can be found in the book “Michael the Archangel”.
“Behold, I am going to send an angel before you to guard you along the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared. Be on your guard before him and obey his voice; do not be rebellious toward him, for he will not pardon your transgression, since My name is in him” (Exodus 23:20–21).
Jude wrote his epistle to encourage the faithful to contend earnestly for the faith in the face of developing ecclesial apostasy. He illustrated his exhortation by drawing upon examples of men from Old Testament history who failed to uphold God’s truth in their day. Jude demonstrates that all these examples of failure had one thing in common – a personal interaction with Michael the archangel, who so often has been involved in the execution of God’s judgments in the earth.
