6

For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

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:

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 the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

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 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 white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:

And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.

And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.

And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.

Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;

That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:

For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.

And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.

For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,

That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:

For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.

But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.
