Opening sixth seal
Revelation 6: 12-17
And I saw, and it opened seal six, and there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as a mourning-garb of hair, and the full moon became red as blood,
And they said to the rocks:
Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him, that sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb. Fot the great day of his wrath is come, and who shall be able to stand?
And the stars of heaven fell on the earth, like a fig casts her fruits when shaken of a mighty wind;
And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the chief captains, and the rich man, and the mighty men, and every slave as well as every free men, hid themselves in the caves, and in the rocks of the mountains.
And the heaven departed, as a scroll when it is rolled together.
And all mountains and all islands were carried of their places.
