The Sixth Seal
(Rev 6:12-17
NIV) I watched as he opened the sixth
seal. There was a great
earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned
blood red, {13} and the
stars in the sky fell to earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. {14} The sky
receded like a scroll,
rolling up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. {15} Then the kings of the
earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and every free man hid in caves and among the rocks of the
mountains. {16} They
called to the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the
throne and from the wrath
of the Lamb! {17} For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?"
