                paraphrased study

9 - And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those having been slain because of the word of God and because of the testimony they had upheld. 10 And they were crying in a voice loud (logic - like the blood of Abel, not souls/psyches’ languishing under the altar for centuries) saying, “Until when oh LORD, holy and true, how long before you will judge and avenge [ekdikeó - vindicate, give justice to] our blood which was shed, from those dwelling upon the earth?” 11 Then each one was given a white robe and told to rest a while longer, until the number of their fellow servants and brothers [adelphoi - from alpha, and delphus - womb (so siblings)] should be complete, of those to be killed as they had been. (Aka - Martyrdom continues throughout the age.)

     12 When he opened the sixth seal - (this seal, especially is obscured - God hiding things in pLain sight - by describing the seal at the beginning of the vision, as a blend of its full and entire effects, from first occurrence to very last) I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake. (And at the first event of it, a psyche earthquake). The sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood (red, reflecting red?). 13 And the stars of the sky fell to earth - like figs blown in a strong wind (how it appears upon earth when the earth is shaking, Is.24:20). 14 The sky parted like a scroll being rolled up. And every mountain, and every island, from its place was moved. 15 Then the kings of earth, the great ones, the generals and the rich and powerful, and everyone, slave and free, hid themselves in caves (bunkers, and bomb shelters) and among the rocks of the mountains, 16 and they say to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of the one seated on the throne, and from the wrath [orgē - from the verb oragō - to teem, swell, and thus implies not a sudden outburst, but rather a controlled, passionate feeling, a settled indignation] of the Lamb, 17 for the great day of their wrath has come (imo, consequences/results, claimed by God because, after all(!) it was he who created a cause and effect universe). And who can stand?” (Revelation, aka, the culmination, is the two ripe fruits - the wheat, and the tares - the submitted and the not yet submitted, Rev.16:13-16 w/ Mt.13:30.)
