Revelation 6:11-13
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
11 And a white robe was given to them, to each one. And it was told to them that they shall[a] rest[b] a short time longer, until also[c] the number of their fellow-slaves and[d] their brothers going to be killed as also they, may be completed[e].
12 And I saw when He opened the sixth seal. And a great earthquake took place. And the sun became black like a sackcloth made-of-hair, and the whole moon became like blood[f], 13 and the stars of the heaven fell to the earth— as a fig tree being shaken by a great wind throws its late-figs.
