1:5-16 This section elaborates on the “condemnation recorded long ago” (1:4) by applying to the false teachers Old Testament examples of God’s judgment. 1:5 The preexistent Jesus rescued the people of Israel from Egypt and later destroyed the unfaithful (cp. 1 Cor 10:4). • After rescuing the nation of Israel from Egypt, God led them toward the Promised Land. Most of the people did not trust the Lord to protect them. Because of their unbelief, God sentenced that generation (except Joshua and Caleb) to wander in the wilderness until they died (see Num 14).
