Judgment on the Day of the Lord

⁹ I will also put fear into the hearts of many peoples when I bring your destruction [and captivity] among the nations, into countries which you have not known. ¹⁰ I will make many peoples appalled at you [at your judgment and your defeat], and their kings will be horribly afraid of you when I brandish My sword [of judgment] before them; they will tremble and shudder every moment, every man for his own life, on the day of your downfall.”

The Glorious Return

²⁹ “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not provide its light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.^{(A) 30} And at that time the sign of the Son of Man [coming in His glory] will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth [and especially Israel] will mourn [regretting their rebellion and rejection of the Messiah], and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory [in brilliance and splendor].^(B)

The Sixth Seal—Terror

¹² I looked when He (the Lamb) broke open the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as ^[a]sackcloth [made] of hair, and the whole moon became like blood;^{(A) 13} and the stars of the sky fell to the earth, like a fig tree shedding its late [summer] figs when shaken by a strong wind.^{(B) 14} The sky was split [separated from the land] and rolled up like a scroll, and every mountain and island were dislodged and moved out of their places. ¹⁵ Then the kings of the earth and the great men and the ^[b]military commanders and the wealthy and the strong and everyone, [whether] slave or free, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains; ¹⁶ and they 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 [righteous] wrath and indignation of the Lamb;^{(C) 17} for the great day of their wrath and vengeance and retribution has come, and who is able to [face God and] stand [before the wrath of the Lamb]?”^(D)
