Jude 1:6

Arabic 2016 (الكِتاب المُقَدَّس: التَّرْجَمَةُ العَرَبِيَّةُ المُبَسَّطَةُ)

وَتَعْرِفُونَ أنَّ المَلَائِكَةَ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُحَافِظُوا عَلَى مَا كَانَ لَهُمْ مِنْ سُلطَانٍ، فَتَرَكُوا مَسكَنَهُمْ، قَدْ سَجَنَهُمُ اللهُ فِي الظُّلمَةِ، مُقَيَّدِينَ بِقُيُودٍ أبَدِيَّةٍ، فِي انتِظَارِ الدَّينُونَةِ فِي ذَلِكَ اليَوْمِ العَظِيمِ.

What Does This Mean?

This verse is talking about angels who disobeyed God and left their place in heaven. Because of this, God has kept them locked up until the final judgment day. Jude wrote this to remind us that there are consequences for disobeying God.

Explained for Children

Imagine you have some friends who decided not to follow the rules at school. They were so bad that they had to stay in a special time-out room forever until it's time to talk about their behavior with all the teachers and parents together. That’s like what happened to these angels for disobeying God.

Historical Background

Jude, an early Christian leader and brother of James, wrote this letter around AD 65-80 to warn fellow Christians against false teachings. He addresses a wide group of believers who were facing challenges from within their communities.

Living It Out Today

In our modern life, we can see the importance of staying loyal to God's principles even when it seems easier or more fun not to. Just like these angels faced severe consequences for leaving their proper place, we should be careful about the choices we make as they have lasting impacts.
