Revelation 19:5An Understandable Version (2005 edition)Then a voice came from the throne [i.e., from those gathered around the throne], saying, “Give praise to our God, all of you [who are] His servants, you who are the least significant and [also] the most important ones, who revere Him.” See the chapter |
And I saw dead people, the most important and the least significant ones, standing in front of the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life [Note: This refers to a record of those to whom God has granted never ending life]. And these dead people [i.e., who have now been resurrected] were judged according to their deeds, based on what was recorded in the books.
