¹² When the Lamb broke the sixth seal, a great earthquake shook the earth and the sun grew dark and became black (like mourning sackcloth) and the full moon became red like blood. ¹³ The stars of heaven fell to earth as a fig tree drops its fruit during a winter storm. ¹⁴ The sky snapped back as a scroll when it is rolled up. Every mountain was shaken off its foundation, and every island melted into the sea.
