Revelation 6 - NKJV Bible Online

Revelation 6

First Seal: The Conqueror

Now ^aI saw when the Lamb opened one of the ¹seals; and I heard ^bone of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, “Come and see.” 2 And I looked, and behold, ^aa white horse. ^bHe who sat on it had a bow; ^cand a crown was given to him, and he went out ^dconquering and to conquer.

Second Seal: Conflict on Earth

3 When He opened the second seal, ^aI heard the second living creature saying, “Come ¹and see.” 4 ^aAnother horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to ^btake peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword.

Third Seal: Scarcity on Earth

5 When He opened the third seal, ^aI heard the third living creature say, “Come and see.” So I looked, and behold, ^ba black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of ^cscales¹ in his hand. 6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A ¹quart of wheat for a ²denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and ^ado not harm the oil and the wine.”

Fourth Seal: Widespread Death on Earth

7 When He opened the fourth seal, ^aI heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come and see.” 8 ^aSo I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And ¹power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, ^bto kill with sword, with hunger, with death, ^cand by the beasts of the earth.

Fifth Seal: The Cry of the Martyrs

9 When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under ^athe altar ^bthe souls of those who had been slain ^cfor the word of God and for ^dthe testimony which they held. 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, ^a“How long, O Lord, ^bholy and true, ^cuntil You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” 11 Then a ^awhite robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them ^bthat they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed.

Sixth Seal: Cosmic Disturbances

12 I looked when He opened the sixth seal, ^aand ¹behold, there was a great earthquake; and ^bthe sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the ²moon became like blood. 13 ^aAnd the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. 14 ^aThen the sky ¹receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and ^bevery mountain and island was moved out of its place. 15 And the ^akings of the earth, the great men, ¹the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, ^bhid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, 16 ^aand said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who ^bsits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17 For the great day of His wrath has come, ^aand who is able to stand?”
