Judgment Before the Great White Throne

¹¹ Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presence ^(A)earth and sky fled away, and ^(B)no place was found for them.

¹² When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, ^(A)there was a great earthquake, and ^(B)the sun became black as ^(C)sackcloth, the full moon became like blood, ¹³ and ^(D)the stars of the sky fell to the earth ^(E)as the fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale. ^14 (F)The sky vanished ^(G)like a scroll that is being rolled up, and ^(H)every mountain and island was removed from its place. ¹⁵ Then the kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and everyone, slave^[a] and free, ^(I)hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, ^16 (J)calling to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of ^(K)him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, ¹⁷ for ^(L)the great day of their wrath has come, and ^(M)who can stand?”

⁹ They will suffer the punishment of ^(A)eternal destruction, ^(B)away from^[a] the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might,
