Revelation 6
6
The Seven Seals
1Then I looked when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder, “#6:1 One early ms adds and see, so in v 3, 5, 7Come.” 2Then I looked, and behold, a white horse, and he who sits on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out overcoming and to overcome.
3And when He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come.” 4And another, a red horse, went out; and to him who sits on it, it was given to him to take peace from the earth, and that men would slay one another; and a great sword was given to him.
5And when He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, “Come.” Then I looked, and behold, a black horse; and he who sits on it had a pair of scales in his hand. 6And I heard something like a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “One #6:6 A choinix was approx. 1 qt. or 1 lchoinix of wheat for one #6:6 A Roman silver coin, approx. a laborer’s daily wagedenarius, and three #6:6 A choinix was approx. 1 qt. or 1 lchoinix of barley for one #6:6 A Roman silver coin, approx. a laborer’s daily wagedenarius, and do not harm the oil and the wine.”
7And when He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come.” 8Then I looked, and behold, a pale horse; and he who sits on it had the name Death, and Hades was following with him. Authority was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with #6:8 Or deathpestilence and by the wild beasts of the earth.
9And when He opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God, and because of the witness which they had maintained; 10and they cried out with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Master, holy and true? #6:10 Lit do You not judge and avengeWill You not judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” 11And a white robe was given to each of them; and it was told to them that they should rest for a little while longer, until the number of their fellow slaves and their brothers who were to be killed even as they had been, would be completed also.
12Then I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood; 13and the stars of the sky fell to the earth, as a fig tree casts its unripe figs when shaken by a great wind. 14And the sky was split apart like a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 15Then the kings of the earth and the great men and the #6:15 Military leader over 1,000 soldierscommanders and the rich and the strong and every slave and free man hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains; 16and they *said to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the #6:16 Lit facepresence of Him who sits on the throne, and from the #6:16 Or ragewrath of the Lamb, 17for the great day of their #6:17 Or ragewrath has come, and who is able to stand?”
