Revelation 17:13
Amharic Bible (መጽሐፍ ቅዱስ (የብሉይና የሐዲስ ኪዳን መጻሕፍት))
What Does This Mean?
This verse from Revelation tells us about a group who have one shared goal and decide to support an entity called 'the beast.' It means that these individuals unite their strength and resources toward a common cause.
Explained for Children
Imagine you and your friends deciding to work together on a big project. You all agree on what needs to be done, and you use all of your toys and tools to help build something amazing. In this story, some people are doing the same thing but for not-so-good reasons.
Historical Background
The Book of Revelation was written by John around 95 AD during a time when Christians were persecuted under Roman rule. The beast represents oppressive forces that challenge faith and freedom, and the group in this verse symbolizes those who align with such forces.
Living It Out Today
In today's world, think about people joining groups or political movements for shared goals. For instance, if you see a group of neighbors working together to clean up a park but secretly planning something harmful, it shows how unity can be misused.
