Pre-Tribulation Rapture

¹²Then I saw him open the sixth seal. A violent earthquake occurred; the sun turned black like sackcloth made of hair; the entire moon became like blood;

¹³the stars of heaven fell to the earth as a fig tree drops its unripe figs when shaken by a high wind;

¹⁴the sky was split apart like a scroll being rolled up; and every mountain and island was moved from its place.

¹⁵Then the kings of the earth, the nobles, the generals, the rich, the powerful, and every slave and free person hid in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains.

¹⁶And they said to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of the one seated on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb,

¹⁷because the great day of their wrath has come! And who is able to stand?”

¹⁰Go into the rocks and hide in the dust from the terror of the LORD and from his majestic splendor.

¹¹The pride of mankind will be humbled, and human loftiness will be brought low; the LORD alone will be exalted on that day.

¹²For a day belonging to the LORD of Armies is coming against all that is proud and lofty, against all that is lifted up — it will be humbled —

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

¹⁴against all the high mountains, against all the lofty hills,

¹⁵against every high tower, against every fortified wall,

¹⁶against every ship of Tarshish, and against every splendid sea vessel.

¹⁷The pride of mankind will be brought low, and human loftiness will be humbled; the LORD alone will be exalted on that day.

¹⁸The idols will vanish completely.

¹⁹People will go into caves in the rocks and holes in the ground, away from the terror of the LORD and from his majestic splendor, when he rises to terrify the earth.

²⁰On that day people will throw their silver and gold idols, which they made to worship, to the moles and the bats.

²¹They will go into the caves of the rocks and the crevices in the cliffs, away from the terror of the LORD and from his majestic splendor, when he rises to terrify the earth.

²²Put no more trust in a mere human, who has only the breath in his nostrils. What is he really worth?
