Question:
What writing is Jude referring to where he talks about Michael the Archangel and Satan contending for the body of Moses? I have found a work called “The Assumption of Moses”, but it is not in there. Thanks
Answer:
This is called the doctrine of inspiration. Apparently the Holy Spirit revealed this information to Jude. He was not quoting any writings. Galatians 1:11-12, Paul the Apostle informs us, “But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.” He was taught what he preached and wrote from men, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
