Sixth Seal: Cosmic Disturbances
12 I looked when He opened the sixth seal, (A)and [a]behold, there was a great earthquake; and (B)the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the [b]moon became like blood. 13 (C)And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. 14 (D)Then the sky [c]receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and (E)every mountain and island was moved out of its place. 15 And the (F)kings of the earth, the great men, [d]the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, (G)hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains,
