Explained for Children
Imagine you're playing a big game of hide and seek. The person who's 'it' is really strong, but when they find everyone, something unexpected happens - the game turns into a scary monster movie where the monsters eat the strong person and their friends. That's kind of what this verse is talking about, but it's a real prediction from God.
