Pre-Tribulation Rapture

¹²And I looked when He broke the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became as black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood;

¹³and the stars of the sky fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its unripe figs when shaken by a great wind.

¹⁴The sky was split apart like a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.

¹⁵Then the kings of the earth and the eminent people, and the commanders and the wealthy and the strong, and every slave and free person hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains;

¹⁶and they *said to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the sight of Him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb;

¹⁷for the great day of Their wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”

¹⁰Enter the rocky place and hide in the dust From the terror of the LORD and from the splendor of His majesty.

¹¹The proud look of humanity will be brought low, And the arrogance of people will be humbled; And the LORD alone will be exalted on that day.

¹²For the LORD of armies will have a day of reckoning Against everyone who is arrogant and haughty, And against everyone who is lifted up, That he may be brought low.

¹³And it will be against all the cedars of Lebanon that are lofty and lifted up, Against all the oaks of Bashan,

¹⁴Against all the lofty mountains, Against all the hills that are lifted up,

¹⁵Against every high tower, Against every fortified wall,

¹⁶Against all the ships of Tarshish And against all the delightful ships.

¹⁷And the pride of humanity will be humbled And the arrogance of people will be brought low; And the LORD alone will be exalted on that day,

¹⁸And the idols will completely vanish.

¹⁹People will go into caves of the rocks And into holes in the ground Away from the terror of the LORD And the splendor of His majesty, When He arises to terrify the earth.

²⁰On that day people will throw away to the moles and the bats Their idols of silver and their idols of gold, Which they made for themselves to worship,

²¹In order to go into the clefts of the rocks and the crannies of the cliffs Before the terror of the LORD and the splendor of His majesty, When He arises to terrify the earth.

²²Take no account of man, whose breath of life is in his nostrils; For why should he be esteemed?
