Pre-Tribulation Rapture

¹²When 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,

¹³and the stars of the sky fell to the earth as the fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale.

¹⁴The sky vanished like a scroll that is being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.

¹⁵Then 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,

¹⁶calling 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,

¹⁷for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?”

¹⁰Enter into the rock and hide in the dust from before the terror of the LORD, and from the splendor of his majesty.

¹¹The haughty looks of man shall be brought low, and the lofty pride of men shall be humbled, and the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.

¹²For the LORD of hosts has a day against all that is proud and lofty, against all that is lifted up — and it shall be brought low;

¹³against all the cedars of Lebanon, lofty and lifted up; and against all the oaks of Bashan;

¹⁴against all the lofty mountains, and against all the uplifted hills;

¹⁵against every high tower, and against every fortified wall;

¹⁶against all the ships of Tarshish, and against all the beautiful craft.

¹⁷And the haughtiness of man shall be humbled, and the lofty pride of men shall be brought low, and the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.

¹⁸And the idols shall utterly pass away.

¹⁹And people shall enter the caves of the rocks and the holes of the ground, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the splendor of his majesty, when he rises to terrify the earth.

²⁰In that day mankind will cast away their idols of silver and their idols of gold, which they made for themselves to worship, to the moles and to the bats,

²¹to enter the caverns of the rocks and the clefts of the cliffs, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the splendor of his majesty, when he rises to terrify the earth.

²²Stop regarding man in whose nostrils is breath, for of what account is he?
