Revelation 20:12 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

I watched as everyone who had died — doesn't matter if they were nobody special or super important — stood in front of God. Then these books got opened up, including this one called the book of life. Everyone was judged based on what was written about the things they'd done while they were alive.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

In the end, we all stand before God and our actions tell the whole story.
