Revelation 6:12-14 Part 1 of 2

 "And behold, I am coming quickly. 
Blessed is he who heeds the words of the prophecy of this book."     
Revelation 22:7  NASB

I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. 

There was a great earthquake 
Isaiah 29:5b-6  Suddenly, in an instant, the LORD Almighty will come with thunder and earthquake and great noise, with windstorm and tempest and flames of a devouring fire.
Ezekiel 38:19  " 'In my zeal and fiery wrath I declare that at that time there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel.' "
Revelation 11:13  At that very hour there was a severe earthquake and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the survivors were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.
Revelation 16:18  Then there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder and a severe earthquake. No earthquake like it had ever occurred since mankind has been on earth, so tremendous was the quake.

The sun turned black 
Matthew 24:29  "Immediately after the distress of those days 'the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.' " (Isaiah 13:10; 34:4)

like sackcloth made of goat hair 
Isaiah 50:3  "I clothe the heavens with darkness and make sackcloth its covering."

the whole moon turned blood red, and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind 
Isaiah 34:4  All the stars in the sky will be dissolved and the heavens rolled up like a scroll; all the starry host will fall like withered leaves from the vine, like shriveled figs from the fig tree.
Joel 2:31  The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD.
Revelation 8:12  The fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them turned dark. A third of the day was without light, and also a third of the night.

The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up 
2 Peter 3:10  But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare.
