Pre-Tribulation Rapture

¹²I 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,

¹³and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind.

¹⁴The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.

¹⁵Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and everyone else, both slave and free, hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains.

¹⁶They called to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face 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 can withstand it?”

¹⁰Go into the rocks, hide in the ground from the fearful presence of the LORD and the splendor of his majesty!

¹¹The eyes of the arrogant will be humbled and human pride brought low; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.

¹²The LORD Almighty has a day in store for all the proud and lofty, for all that is exalted (and they will be humbled),

¹³for all the cedars of Lebanon, tall and lofty, and all the oaks of Bashan,

¹⁴for all the towering mountains and all the high hills,

¹⁵for every lofty tower and every fortified wall,

¹⁶for every trading ship and every stately vessel.

¹⁷The arrogance of man will be brought low and human pride humbled; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day,

¹⁸and the idols will totally disappear.

¹⁹People will flee to caves in the rocks and to holes in the ground from the fearful presence of the LORD and the splendor of his majesty, when he rises to shake the earth.

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

²¹They will flee to caverns in the rocks and to the overhanging crags from the fearful presence of the LORD and the splendor of his majesty, when he rises to shake the earth.

²²Stop trusting in mere humans, who have but a breath in their nostrils. Why hold them in esteem?
