Revelation 16:11
King James Version
6 Jun 2026
“And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.”
μετανοέω
Meta — after. Noeo — to think. To think again after. Repentance is not self-punishment. It is a change of mind so complete that your direction changes. You were walking one way. Now you walk another. That is metanoia.
