Revelation 14:10
Amharic Bible (መጽሐፍ ቅዱስ (የብሉይና የሐዲስ ኪዳን መጻሕፍት))
What Does This Mean?
This verse describes the punishment for those who reject God's grace. It says they will drink from a cup of divine wrath and suffer torment with fire and brimstone in front of holy angels and Jesus Christ. The speaker is likely John, describing what he sees in his vision.
Explained for Children
Imagine you have a friend who always refuses to share their toys or be nice, no matter how many chances they get. One day, they might feel very sad because they're all alone without any friends. This verse is like that but much bigger and more serious. God offers love and friendship, but if someone keeps saying 'no,' there are consequences.
Historical Background
Revelation was written by John around the end of the first century AD when Christians were facing persecution. The audience would have been early church communities in Asia Minor who needed encouragement and a vision of future hope during difficult times.
Living It Out Today
In modern terms, this verse can remind us about making choices with long-term consequences. For example, someone might choose to lie repeatedly at work for short-term gain but end up losing their job and trust from colleagues.
