Now comes the sixth seal with its opening that brought all kinds of earthquakes, wildfires, and other major natural nature happenings to life. Why was this seen seen? To bring all of humanity to its awakening of its own redemption, to their original innocence and co-execution in the humanity of Christ. Is this possible?
Revelation 6:12-17 "And I beheld when He had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; 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. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 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?" (KJV)
Revelation 6:12-17 "When He opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood, and the stars of the sky fell to the earth as the fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale. The sky vanished like a scroll that is being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. Then the kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and everyone, slave and free, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, calling to the mountains and rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?" (ESV)
Revelation 6:12-17 "When He opened the sixth seal, there was a massive earthquake, the sun was in mourning, wearing black sackcloth and the entire moon became like blood! (Just like it was during the crucifixion! A lunar eclipse is possible at Passover-lunar eclipse of April 3, AD 33, was a fulfillment of Joel's prophecy of the moon being turned to blood red as quoted by the Apostle Peter at Pentecost (in Acts 2:15-21)- a total eclipsed moon often has a red appearance, and hence could be called a blood moon. A memorial reminder of the cross and all that its judgment brought about.) And the stars of heaven fell on the earth just like the figs of a winter tree which a strong wind scatters to the ground to ripen. (The word, (G3653) olunthos - "winter-figs," or such as grown under the leaves, and do not ripen at the proper season, but hang upon the trees during the winter and faalls off the tree in Spring-good intentions under the system of the Mosaic Law or works will fall to the ground like unripened fruit!
Jesus used the fig tree in Matthew's account as recorded in 13:28, as a sign of the "end of the world's long winter" in Haggai 2:6-7, "'Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land, and I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come; And I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of Hosts.'" Isaiah 34:4, "All the host of heaven shall rot away, and were rolled up like a scroll. All their host shall fall, as leaves fall from the vine, like leaves falling from the fig tree." (RSV)
See Colossians 2:15, "In Him dying humanity's death, He defused every possible claim of accusation against the human race and thus made a public spectacle of every rule and authority in GOD'S brilliant triumph, demonstrated in Him." (The Mirror) The voice of the cross will never be silenced! (The horror of the Cross is now the eternal trophy of GOD'S triumph over sin! The cross stripped religions systems of their authority to manipulate humanity with guilt. Every accusation lost its leverage to blackmail the human race with condemnation and shame!) The sky was split apart and rolled up like a scroll! (History was split in a before and after Christ! He is the fulfillment of time! The prophetic scroll was fulfilled! And every geographic location was challenged to re-align!
Albert Barnes suggests that thrones and dynasties long established would be overthrown; institutions that seemed to be fixed and permanent were abolished; a new order of things was raised....) And all the kingdoms of earth were suddenly on equal terms. The great and most influential people, the highest ranked military commanders, the wealthiest business personalities, the high and mighty; everyone from the freedom down to the lowest ranked slave were all equal. They all ran for cover into the dens and caves, pleading with the mountains and the hills to cover and protect them! "Hide us from the face of the One seated upon the Throne and from the [1]reach of the Lamb!" (The word, [1, G3709 from G3713] orge, means excitement of mind, and is from the word (G3713) orgeomai, meaning to stretch one's self out in order to touch or to grasp something, to reach after or desire something. Look at Hebrews 4:3, "Hear the echo of GOD'S cry though the ages, 'Oh! If only they would enter into My rest.'" (Some translations read, "As I have sworn in my wrath" derived from orge, meaning passionate desire, any strong outburst of emotion. "'Oh! If only they would enter into my rest.'") Just like Adam and woman who went into hiding to escape their perceptions of Papa's judgment!
Psalm 139:7-8, "Where shall I go from Your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from Your face? If I go up to Heaven, You; If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You!" [literal translation by Jay P. Green Sr.]
Hosea 10:8, "Also, the high places of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed. The thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars. [Their sacrificial systems have failed them!] And they shall say to the mountains, "Cover us!" and to the hills, "Fall on us!") For the great day of His [1] passion [2] has already arrived and who would have imagined it would be possible for anyone [3] to be positioned in a place of innocence? (The word orgay, to desire (as a reaching forth or excitement of mind), that is, (by analogy) passion and only by implication often translated punishment:-anger, indignation, vengeance, wrath. The word, [2] elthen, is in the Aorist active indicative form of (G2064) erchomai, meaning to come. The word, [3] stathenai is the Aorist Passive Infinitive of (G2476) histemi, meaning to stand, also to be placed in a balance, to weigh; in the presence of others, in the midst, before judges, before members of the Sanhedrin, to cause a person or a thing to keep his or its place, be kept intact (of family, a kingdom), to escape in safety, to establish a thing, cause it to stand, to uphold or sustain the authority or force of anything, to set or place in balance, to weigh: money to one (because in very early times before the introduction of cionage, the metals used to be weighed) continue safe and sound, stand unharmed, of quality, one who does not hesitate, does not waiver.) (The Mirror, with editing.)
Now we are set for the opening of the seventh seal, may the LORD again increase our understand of these things, is my wish and request.
