“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;”
When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and there came a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth, full of hair, and the full moon became like blood — the sixth seal unleashes cosmic catastrophe: earthquake (seismos) shaking creation, sun darkened (not merely eclipsed but become black like mourning cloth), moon turned blood-red (Ezekiel 32:7; Joel 2:31). These signs invoke the exodus plagues and prophetic imagery of the day of the Lord.
