Jd4For certain men whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you." (written about long ago)God planned all of time in His eternal counsel. All things are ordered by His law, covenants curses, statutes, promises and decrees. His law curses the wicked."  They are godless men, who change the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord."

godless-asebeia = impiety, absence of "the fear of God", having no reverence for sacred things; irreligious. change-lit a burial. Gal 2 4This  matter arose because some false brothers had infiltrated our ranks to spy on the freedom we have in Christ Jesus and to make us slaves. Replacing salvation by grace with salvation through works. Gospel grace kills the opposition. Redefining Gods law is cursing the righteous.   curse is described in the Psalms as the unlawful use of the law.Deliverance is cursing the curse. Jude cursing the wicked who curse God. the wicked- pash'a, revolt, rebellion.  Sin against lawful authority. ra'a', wicked, injurious.  From its root, which indicates its nature as breaking up all that is good or desirable; injurious to all others. 'aven, iniquity, specially connected with idolatry.rasha', wickedness, in the sense of the restless activity of fallen nature.'avah, perverseness, from the root to be bent, or crooked.  As opposed to the Gods elect who are  chat'a, to sin; to miss the mark (as in Judg. 20:16).  Also of the feet, to stumble and fall (Prov. 19:2).  Hence, morally, a coming short, blameworthiness, pash'a, revolt, rebellion. Sin against lawful authority.'aven, iniquity, specially connected with idolatry.  Used because an idol is nothing and vanity. David the king confessed pash'a sin of rebellion against lawful authority. NT gives commands to the leaders and commands to the people. Jude is cursing the lawless use the law ..has nothing to do with titles. Jude curses the religious leaders.  "certain men" ".even the archangel Michael"- who is an authority like "these men speak abusively"shepherds who feed only themselves"
