The Day of the Lord

The Glorious Return

²⁹ “But immediately after the ^(A)tribulation of those days ^(B)the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and ^(C)the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

The Return of Christ

²⁵ “There will be ^[a]signs in the sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, ²⁶ people fainting from fear and the expectation of the things that are coming upon the ^[b]world; for the powers of ^[c]the heavens will be shaken.

²³ But beware; I have told you everything in advance.

The Return of Christ

²⁴ “But in those days, after that tribulation, ^(A)the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light, ^25 (B)and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken.

The Sixth Seal: Terror

¹² And I looked when He broke the sixth seal, and there was a great ^(A)earthquake; and the ^(B)sun became as black as ^(C)sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood; ¹³ and ^(D)the stars of the sky fell to the earth, ^(E)as a fig tree drops its unripe figs when shaken by a great wind. ^14 (F)The sky was split apart like a scroll when it is rolled up, and ^(G)every mountain and island was removed from its place. ¹⁵ Then ^(H)the kings of the earth and the eminent people, and the commanders and the wealthy and the strong, and every slave and free person hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains; ¹⁶ and they *^(I)said to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the ^[a]sight of Him ^(J)who sits on the throne, and from the ^(K)wrath of the Lamb; ¹⁷ for ^(L)the great day of Their wrath has come, and ^(M)who is able to stand?”
