The 6th seal was opened, our perspective is moved from heaven to earth, with a bizarre string of 6-images: The earthquake, the sun became black as sackcloth, the whole moon became like blood, the stars of the sky fell to the earth, the sky was split apart like a scroll when being rolled up, and every mountain and island were moved out of their place. This is a judgment against all the structures upon which manrelies for safety and security, as this speaks of political, social, and religious upheaval on the earth.
This is the promised SHAKING of the earth. It will be sudden, and it will be unexpected. “While they are saying, "Peace and safety!" then destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape.” Jesus even likened it to the days of Noah where people will be eating and drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage, until it hits them like the flood hit the people of Noah’s day—suddenly and without mercy.
Everyone in the world will be hiding from the anger of the Lamb trying to find one rock to hide under for protection, but they will find none. All men and women come to know that the time of the Lamb’s judgment has arrived.
