Revelation 6:12-17
12And I looked when He broke the sixth seal, and there was a great 1earthquake; and the 2sun became as black as 3sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood;
13and 4the stars of the sky fell to the earth, 5as a fig tree drops its unripe figs when shaken by a great wind.
146The sky was split apart like a scroll when it is rolled up, and 7every mountain and island was removed from its place.
15Then 8the kings of the earth and the eminent people, and the commanders and the wealthy and the strong, and every slave and free person hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains;
16and they 9said to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the 10sight of Him 11who sits on the throne, and from the 12wrath of the Lamb;
17for 13the great day of Their wrath has come, and 14who is able to stand?”
