Revelation 21:26

Arabic Bible Life (Targamet El Hayah) (LA)

What Does This Mean?

This verse talks about how people from all over the world will bring their treasures, honors, and best things to God's new home in heaven. It shows that everyone's good things are meant for God’s glory.

Explained for Children

Imagine if you had a really cool toy and your friend asked you to share it with them because they wanted to show how awesome the toy is. That's like what this verse says, but instead of toys, people from all over will bring their best things to show off in God’s new home.

Historical Background

The book of Revelation was written by John around 96 AD while he was exiled on Patmos. It was written to early Christian communities facing persecution and aimed at encouraging them with promises about the future kingdom of God.

Living It Out Today

Just like how this verse talks about nations bringing their best to glorify God, in our daily lives, we can also find ways to honor God through our talents, skills, and resources. For instance, if you're good at art, use it to create things that reflect God's glory.
