شرح للأطفال
Imagine you have a big bathtub full of water for your toys. Now imagine if someone poured in red juice, making the water look like it was filled with blood and making all your toys float lifelessly. That’s what happened to the sea here, but much more serious because it affected real living creatures.
السياق التاريخي
The book of Revelation was written by John, one of Jesus' disciples, around 95 AD while he was in exile on Patmos. It's addressed primarily to seven churches in Asia Minor facing persecution and aims to encourage faithfulness through visions of future divine judgments and rewards.
