Revelation 6:12-14

Good morning all! God is good all the time, all the time God is good!

Revelation 6:12-14 "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."

The sixth seal changes the scene back to the physical world. The first five judgments were directed toward specific areas, but this judgment is universal. Everyone will be afraid when the earth itself trembles.

The force described in this seal is overpowering fear. The first five seals were lead ups to the full fury of the Day of the Lord, beginning with the sixth seal. The events described in this seal opens the seventh, which contains the trumpet judgment and the bowl judgments.

great earthquake - all the earth's faults will begin to fracture at the same time resulting in a global earthquake.

moon became like blood - with the earthquake will be volcanic eruptions and large amounts of ash and debris will be blown into the atmosphere, blackening the sun and giving the moon a blood-red hue.

stars of heaven fell - In Greek "stars" can refer to any celestial body, large or small, and is explained as a massive asteroid or meteor shower.

late figs - winter gifs that grouw without the protection of leaves and are easily blown from the tree.

sky receded as a scroll - the earth's atmosphere will be somehow dramatically affected and the sky as we know it disappears.

every mountain and island was moved - under the stress created by the global earthquake, great segments of the earth's plates will begin to skip and shift, realigning whole continents.

Wow, a lot of action. So what will we, humans, do? Tune in tomorrow. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
