Revelation 6:12-17 (The Message)
View In My Bible
12
I watched while he ripped off the sixth seal: a bone-jarring earthquake, sun turned black as ink, moon all bloody,
13
stars falling out of the sky like figs shaken from a tree in a high wind,
14
sky snapped shut like a book, islands and mountains sliding this way and that.
15
And then pandemonium, everyone and his dog running for cover - kings, princes, generals, rich and strong, along with every commoner, slave or free. They hid in mountain caves and rocky dens,
16
calling out to mountains and rocks, "Refuge! Hide us from the One Seated on the Throne and the wrath of the Lamb!
17
The great Day of their wrath has come - who can stand it?"
