Revelation 8:13 — English NIRV 1996 - Copyrighted only for Website
As I watched, I heard an eagle that was flying high in the air. It called out in a loud voice, "How terrible! How terrible it will be for those living on the earth! How terrible! They will suffer as soon as the next three angels blow their trumpets!"
What Does This Mean?
An angel is flying through heaven and shouting a warning to the people on earth about three more trumpet blasts that will bring even worse trouble.
Explained for Children
Imagine an angel like a big, loud megaphone floating in the sky telling everyone below that they are going to have some really tough times coming up. It's a bit like when your mom warns you it’s time to clean your room but much scarier!
Historical Background
The Book of Revelation was written by John around 95 AD during Emperor Domitian's reign. He addressed the seven churches in Asia Minor, warning them about future hardships and encouraging their faith.
Living It Out Today
When facing difficult times, like a major health scare or financial crisis, remember that there are always people who care and can support you through it just as this angel is warning to prepare for tougher times ahead.
