		Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so they also oppose the truth--people of depraved mind, unqualified in the faith.
		But they will not make further progress, for their foolishness will be plain to all, as it was with those two.
		The frivolous and superficial, too, devoid of the true spirit of religion, will be easy victims of those who pervert them by falsifying the truth (2 Tim 3:6-8), just as Jannes and Jambres, Pharaoh's magicians of Egypt (Exodus 7:11-12, 22), discredited the truth in Moses' time.

		The Apostle distinctly says in introducing these words, "This know also that in the last days [of the age] perilous times shall come." Undoubtedly the Apostle meant that we should look for the fulfillment of his declaration in the "harvest" or end of the Gospel Age.
		Doubtless there were many people in Moses' day who were not at all in sympathy with him and his presentations, but who let him alone and hindered him not.
		Jannes and Jambres, on the contrary, specially opposed Moses and sought to bring to naught the force of his presentations to Pharaoh and the Egyptians, by imitating his doings to a certain degree.

	Alexander Campbell's Reply to M. Winans.
		If it should be ascertained that the Devil himself cannot work a real miracle, then it will follow of course that he cannot delegate a power which he does not possess.
		Therefore, Jannes, nor Jambres, nor Simon ever worked a real miracle, else they were not of the Devil, but of God; which cannot be admitted, because it would resist God himself in so far as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses.
		Thus Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses and Aaron, but were finally subdued.

	2 Timothy 3:8 Even as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses
		Even as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so do these also oppose the truth; men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the faith.
		And as James and Jambres went against Moses, so do these go against what is true: men of evil minds, who, tested by faith, are seen to be false.
		Now in the same manner in which Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, thus these also withstand the truth; men corrupted in mind, found worthless as regards the faith.

		8 And as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses This comparison confirms what I have already said about the “last times”, for he means that the same thing happens to us under the gospel, which the Church experienced almost from her very commencement, or at least since the law was published.
		It is generally believed; that the two who are mentioned, “Jannes and Jambres,” were magicians put forward by Pharaoh.
		But from what source Paul learned their names is doubtful, except that it is probable, that many things relating to those histories were handed down, the memory of which God never permitted to perish.

		The text of Jannes and Jambres survives only in fragments, which has caused difficulties for scholars trying to reconstruct the original.
		The book about the exploits of Jannes and Jambres must have appeared before the third century AD, as Origen makes a reference to such a book in the third century AD.
		It is not clear if the fragments which do exist tell the same story, or if, as seems more likely from what evidence exists, there were several different versions of the acount.
