Revelation 6

The Lamb opens six seals. The first four bring the four horsemen — conquest, war, famine, and death. The fifth seal reveals the souls of martyrs under the altar crying, "How long, O Lord?" The sixth seal brings a great earthquake, the sun turns black, the moon becomes as blood, and the kings of the earth hide themselves, crying to the mountains to fall on them.
