And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
And if anyone tries to delete or edit out parts of this prophecy, God will remove their name from the book of life, block their access to the holy city, and cut them off from all the promises written here.
Don't mess with God's words, the consequences are eternal.
📚 Historical Context
The Book of Revelation was written by the Apostle John around 95 AD during his exile on the island of Patmos, a time when Christians faced severe persecution under the Roman Emperor Domitian. This verse appears at the end of the book as a solemn warning to preserve the unaltered words of the prophecy, reflecting the early church's concern for the integrity of sacred texts in a culture where writings could be easily modified or corrupted. In the broader biblical narrative, it underscores the divine authority of Scripture as God's final revelation.
