Revelation 6:12

10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, ^a“How long, O Lord, ^bholy and true, ^cuntil You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”

11 Then a ^awhite robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them ^bthat they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed.

Sixth Seal: Cosmic Disturbances

12 I looked when He opened the sixth seal, ^aand behold, there was a great earthquake; and ^bthe sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the² moon became like blood.

13 ^aAnd 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 ^aThen the sky¹ receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and ^bevery mountain and island was moved out of its place.
