9:20

Meaning

This verse from the book of Revelation describes a group of people who experience plagues sent as punishment, yet do not repent of their sinful actions. These individuals continue to engage in idol worship, turning to false gods made of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood. The verse emphasizes that these idols are powerless as they cannot see, hear, or walk. This highlights the futility of worshiping material objects instead of the one true God. The message conveyed is a warning against the dangers of idolatry and the consequences of not turning away from sinful practices. It serves as a reminder to prioritize spiritual devotion over material possessions and to seek salvation through genuine repentance.
