e had opened the sixth seal: and behold there was
a great earthquake. And the sun became black as sackcloth of hair: and
the whole moon became as blood.

6:13. And the stars from heaven fell upon the earth, as the fig tree
casteth its green figs when it is shaken by a great wind.

6:14. And the heaven departed as a book folded up. And every mountain,
and the islands, were moved out of their places.

6:15. And the kings of the earth and the princes and tribunes and the
rich and the strong and every bondman and every freeman hid themselves
in the dens and in the rocks of mountains:

6:16. And they say to the mountains and the rocks: Fall upon us and hide
us from the face of him that sitteth upon the throne and from the wrath
of the Lamb.

6:17. For the great day of their wrath is come. And who shall be able to
stand?

of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that they should not
blow upon the earth nor upon the sea nor on any tree.

7:2. And I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun,
having the sign of the living God. And he cried with a loud voice to the

7:3. Saying: Hurt not the earth nor the sea nor the trees, till we sign
the servants of our God in their foreheads.

their hands.
