I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. 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. Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, ‘Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?’ (Revelation 6:12-17)

Background
During Apostle John’s Revelation vision on Patmos Island, circa AD 95, The Lord twice promised to show him ‘things which must shortly take place’ on Earth, so John could inform The Lord’s servants—presumably the early Christians. History reveals how, shortly after John’s vision, some of the early predictions in Revelation 6, began to unfold across the Earth. Notably, Chapter 6 is the first chapter in Revelation that describes judgments with direct, observable impacts on the Earth; earlier chapters are largely contextual. Chapter 6 lists 6 unique sets of increasingly severe judgments against humanity—each released as The Lord opens a seal on His scroll. These six seals, however, do not exhaust Heaven’s judgments. They precede a final, 7th seal that will later unleash Heaven’s full set of apocalyptic judgments (Revelation 8–16), culminating in Christ’s return to rule the Earth, as depicted in Revelation 19:11–21.
