Revelation 13:16Easy To Read VersionThe second animal also forced all people, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to have a mark on their right hand or on their forehead. See the chapter |
In the new life there is no difference between Greeks and Jews. There is no difference between people that are circumcised {\cf2\super [16]} and people that are not circumcised, or people that are from some foreign country, or Scythians. {\cf2\super [17]} There is no difference between slaves and free people. But Christ is in all those believers. And Christ is all that is important.
The people of the world were angry;\par but now is the time for your anger.\par Now is the time for the dead people\par to be judged.\par It is time to reward your servants,\par the prophets, {\cf2\super [87]} \par and to reward your holy people, {\cf2\super [88]} \par the people, great and small, who respect you.\par It is time to destroy those people\par who destroy the earth!”\par
But the animal was captured. Also the false prophet {\cf2\super [149]} was captured. This false prophet was the one who did the miracles {\cf2\super [150]} for the animal. The false prophet had used these miracles to trick the people who had the mark of the animal and worshiped his idol. {\cf2\super [151]} The false prophet and the animal were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.
Then I saw some thrones and people sitting on them. These were the people who had been given the power to judge. And I saw the souls of those people who had been killed because \{they were faithful to\} the truth of Jesus and the message {\cf2\super [152]} from God. Those people did not worship the animal or his idol. {\cf2\super [153]} They did not receive the mark of the animal on their foreheads or on their hands. Those people became alive again and ruled with Christ for 1,000 years.
