“And I beheld when HE (the LAMB of GOD, the LORD and SAVIOUR JESUS) had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake (violent shaking); and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair (covering), and the moon became as blood;” (Revelation 6:12).
“And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.” (Revelation 6:13).
“And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.” (Revelation 6:14).
And the book of Revelation continues to reveal the future events (which I believe is very close at hand), “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; and said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of HIM that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the LAMB: for the great day of HIS wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?” (Revelation 6:15-17).
Here is John at the isle of Patmos, where he was commanded to write the things which he saw and heard of the future things. A 1st century man who was time-traveled to the 21st century, and witnessed all of the future events; and was to write these things down. John was probably overwhelmed at the sights and sounds of the 21st century locations, vehicles, weapons, and activities that he tried describing them as best he could using 1st century illustrations!
This all started (my interest in the book of Revelation) at the time when I was just finish reading/studying the Old Testament. And as my routine, I watched Hal Lindsey’s videos, Hal Lindsey Report. And it just so happened that Hal Lindsey was doing a book study videos of Revelation. So to make the long story short, I watched and re-watched the videos, and was impressed, encouraged, and am humbly/modestly thankful to the LORD GOD for allowing me to know all these wonderful things, but mostly because these all leads to the one most important PERSON in the world, and that is the SAVIOUR and LORD JESUS, the LAMB of GOD who takes away the sins of the world.
P.S. I recommend you watch the whole series from the Hal Lindsey Report web site. Who knows? You might get to like it.
P.S.S. Spoiler – the LAMB of GOD gets all the glory!
