Revelation:6
Seeker Overlay ON
*
I saw the Lamb open one of the seven seals .
And I heard one of the living creatures speak with a voice like thunder .
He said : "
Come !"
*
I saw a white horse .
He who sat on it had a bow .
A crown was given to him and he conquered .
*
When he opened the second seal ,
I heard the second living creature say : "
Come !"
*
Another horse that was red went out :
and power was given to him who sat on it to take peace from the earth .
He was given a great sword so that men could kill one another .
*
When he opened the third seal I heard the third beast say : "
Come !"
I saw a black horse ;
and he who sat on him had a pair of scales in his hand .
*
I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures say : "
A measure .
of wheat for a penny ,
and three measures of barley for a penny ;
and see that you do not hurt the oil and the wine ."
*
When the Lamb opened the fourth seal ,
I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say : "
Come !"
*
I looked ,
and there was a pale horse .
The name of the one who sat on him was Death .
The grave followed him .
Power was given to them over a fourth part of the earth ,
to kill with sword ,
and with hunger ,
and with pestilence ,
and with the beasts of the earth .
*
When the Lamb opened the fifth seal ,
I saw under the altar the persons who were slaughtered because of the word of God ,
and for the witness they gave .
*
They cried with a loud voice ,
saying : "
How long ,
O Lord ,
holy and true ,
before you judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth ?"
*
Each of them was given a white robe .
They were told that they should rest for a little while .
until the of their fellow servants and their brothers ,
who would be killed ,
as they were ,
should be fulfilled .
*
When he opened the sixth seal I saw a great earthquake .
The sun became black as sackcloth of hair and the moon became like blood .
*
The stars of the sky fell to the earth ,
even as a fig tree drops her unripe figs when she is shaken by a mighty wind .
*
The sky was split apart like a scroll when it is rolled together .
Every mountain and island was moved from their places .
*
The kings of the earth ,
and the great men ,
and the rich men ,
and the military commanders ,
and the mighty men ,
and every slave and every free man ,
hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains .
*
They said to the mountains and rocks : "
Fall on us ,
and hide us from the presence 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 will be able to stand ?"
