The Sixth Seal

When the lamb opened the sixth seal I looked
And there took place a great earthquake
And the sun became black like sackcloth of hair
And the moon became like blood
And the stars in the sky fell to the earth
As the fig tree drops its unripe fruit
Shaken by the great wind. And the sky
Vanished like a scroll rolling up
And every mountain and island of the earth
Was torn up from its place and moved.
And the kings of the earth and the great men
And commanders of thousands and every slave
And the free hid in caves and mountain rocks,
And said to the mountains and rocks, "Fall on us
And hide us from the face of him who is sitting
On the throne and from the anger of the lamb
Because the great day of his anger has come,
And before him who has the force to stand?"


A Star Fell From The Sky

The locusts looked like horses prepared for war.
On their heads it was like the crowns of gold
And their faces were like the faces of people,
And they had hair like the hair of women,
And the teeth in their jaws resembled lions.
Their breastplates seemed to be made of iron,
And the noise of their wings was like the noise
Of many horse chariots galloping into battle.

And so I saw the horses in the vision
And the riders on them were wearing breastplates
Of fire red and hyacinth blue and yellow sulphur
And the heads of horses were like heads of lions
And fire, smoke and sulphur came from their mouths.
