Revelation 6 And I watched while the Lamb broke open one of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living beings saying in a thunderous voice to the one on the white horse ?, “Come out.”

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And I watched while the Lamb broke open one of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living beings saying in a thunderous voice [to the one on the white horse ?], “Come [out].” ² So, I looked, and before me [stood] a white horse, and the man riding on it had a bow. And he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror [going out] to conquer [someone]. ³ And when the Lamb broke open the second seal, I heard the second living being saying [to the one on the red horse ?], “Come [out].” ⁴ Then another horse came out; it was a red one, and the man riding on it was given [the ability] to take peace from the earth so that people would kill one another. And he was given a large sword. ⁵ And when the Lamb broke open the third seal, I heard the third living being saying [to the one on the black horse ?], “Come [out].” So, I looked and before me [stood] a black horse, and the man riding on it had a pair of scales in his hand. ⁶ And I heard what sounded like a voice coming from among the four living beings, saying, “A quart [measure] of wheat sells for a day’s pay [Note: This amount would be $60-$84 in 1994, based on one day of a farm laborer’s wages. See Matt. 20:2]; three quart measures of barley sell for a day’s pay; but do not damage the [olive] oil and wine [i.e., the orchards and vineyards]. ⁷ And when the Lamb broke open the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living being saying [to the one on the pale green horse ?], “Come [out].” ⁸ So, I looked and before me [stood] a pale green horse, and the name of the man riding on it was “Death,” and the unseen place of departed spirits followed along behind him. And they were [both] given authority over one fourth of the earth, to kill people with swords, with famine, with terrible judgments and by wild animals of the earth. ⁹ And when the Lamb broke open the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been killed for [believing and preaching] God’s message, and for the testimony [about Jesus] which they had maintained. ¹⁰ And they called out with a loud voice, “How long, holy and true Master, [will it be] before you judge the people living on earth and take revenge on them for [shedding] our blood?” ¹¹ And a white robe was given to each one of them, and they were told to rest a little while longer, until the [full] number of their fellow servants and their brothers would be killed like they were. ¹² Then I looked as the Lamb broke open the sixth seal, and there [I saw] a great earthquake; the sun turned as black as sackcloth made out of [goat] hair, and the entire moon turned [as red] as blood. ¹³ And the stars in the sky fell to earth, like a fig tree dropping its unripe figs when shaken by a strong wind. ¹⁴ And the sky disappeared like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. ¹⁵ And the kings of the earth, the princes, the military commanders, the rich people, the influential people and every slave and free man hid themselves in the caves and among mountain ledges. ¹⁶ And they called out to the mountains, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of God, who sits on His throne, and from the anger of the Lamb. ¹⁷ For the terrible day of their anger has come, and who will be able to survive it?”
