Revelation 6
The
Seals |
1 |
And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the
seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four
beasts saying, Come and see.
|
2 |
And I saw, and behold a white horse: Zech.
1.8 ; 6.3 and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto
him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
|
3 |
And when he had opened the second seal,
I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
|
4 |
And there went out another horse that
was red: Zech. 1.8 ; 6.2 and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from
the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was
given unto him a great sword.
|
5 |
And when he had opened the third seal,
I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a
black horse; Zech. 6.2, 6 and he
that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
|
6 |
And I heard a voice in the midst of the
four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures
of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the
wine.
|
7 |
And when he had opened the fourth seal,
I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
|
8 |
And I looked, and behold a pale horse:
and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.
And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to
kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the
beasts of the earth. Jer. 15.3 · Ezek. 5.12, 17 ; 14.21
|
9 |
And when he had opened the fifth seal,
I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word
of God, and for the testimony which they held:
|
10 |
and they cried with a loud voice, saying,
How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our
blood on them that dwell on the earth?
|
11 |
And white robes were given unto every one
of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a
little season, until their fellow servants also and their brethren,
that should be killed as they were, should be
fulfilled.
|
12 |
And I beheld when he had opened the
sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; Rev. 11.13 ; 16.18 and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon
became as blood;
|
13 |
and the stars of heaven fell unto the
earth, Is. 13.10 · Ezek. 32.7 · Joel 2.31 · Mt. 24.29 · Mk. 13.24, 25 · Lk. 21.25 even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is
shaken of a mighty wind.
|
14 |
And the heaven departed as a scroll when
it is rolled together; Is. 34.4 and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. Rev. 16.20
|
15 |
And the kings of the earth, and the great
men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men,
and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens
and in the rocks of the mountains; Is. 2.10
|
16 |
and said to the mountains and rocks, Fall
on us, and hide us Hos. 10.8 · Lk. 23.30 from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the
wrath of the Lamb:
|
17 |
for the great day of his wrath is come;
and who shall be able to stand? Joel 2.11 · Mal. 3.2
