          DASV: Revelation 6    

1 Then I watched as the Lamb opened one of the seven seals,
and I heard one of the four living creatures say with a
voice of thunder, "Come."
2 So I looked, and there was a white horse, and he who sat
on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him and he rode
out as a conqueror to conquer.
3 When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living
creature say, "Come."
4 Another horse, bright red came out, and to him who sat on
it was granted permission to take peace from the earth,
so that they would slaughter one another, and he was given
a great sword.
5 When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living
creature say, "Come." Then I looked, a black horse and he
who sat on it had a balance scale in his hand.
6 Then I heard something like a voice from the middle of the
four living creatures say, "A quart of wheat for a day's
wage, and three quarts of barley for a day's wage, but
do not harm the olive oil and the wine."
7 When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the
fourth living creature say, "Come."
8 Then I looked, a pale green horse was there, and he who
sat on it, was named Death; and Hades followed behind him.
They were given authority over a fourth of the earth to
kill with sword, famine, plague, and by the wild animals
of the earth.
9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar
the souls of those who had been slain for the word of
God, and for the testimony which they had.
10 They cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, O Sovereign
Lord, holy and true, before you judge and avenge our blood
on those who live on the earth?"
11 Each of them was given a white robe. They were told that
they should rest a little longer, until the full number would
be reached of their fellow servants and their brothers,
who were about to be killed just like they were.
12 I looked when he opened the sixth seal, there was a great
earthquake. The sun became as black as goat hair sackcloth,
and the full moon became blood red,
13 and the stars of the sky fell to the earth like a fig tree
dropping its unripe figs when it is shaken by a strong wind.
14 The sky receded like a scroll when it is rolled up; and
every mountain and island were moved from their places.
15 Then the kings of the earth, important people, commanders,
the rich and powerful, and every slave and free person, hid
themselves in the caves and rocks of the mountains.
16 They called to the mountains and to the rocks, "Fall on us,
and hide us from the face of the one sitting on the throne,
and from the wrath of the Lamb,
17 for the great day of their wrath is come, and who is able
to survive it?"
