116 REVELATION 6 earthquakes in history, and there will be many more during the first half of the Tribulation, but this global earthquake is incomparable. It is the “dream earthquake” that seismologist fear and know can occur. People will be afraid to go into buildings so seek protection from falling debris in shelters. These are the survivors of world wars, devastating famines, and global epidemics of deadly contagious diseases, and now the worse catastrophes imaginable begin. The second disaster is the darkening of the sun, which is the perception from earth as the volcanic ash from multiple mega-eruptions blankets the atmosphere, bringing a darkened earth, creating the third sign disaster of the reddish moon appearance as its reflection filters through the ash covering. Every aspect of life that depends on the sun and the moon will be affected. Life on earth is threatened. The volcanic rifts are only waiting a slight shift in the crust to begin to erupt. Every seismologist knows how viable such eruptions are today. Only a few strategic eruptions could blacken the sun for the whole earth, causing major catastrophes and major climate changes. The fourth disaster describes the falling stars, as seen from earth when huge asteroids or meteors bombard the earth. Many computer models of this possibility have been developed and movies made of a few asteroids striking earth, but multiple major asteroids and meteor showers penetrating through the volcanic ash covering in the ionosphere would be terrifying to witness. John likens these multiple asteroid impacts to a fig tree in the wind loosing all its figs. These were designed to be astrological signs or omens that should cause reflection or repentance. Reflection: Why would the people on earth not repent at these celestial signs?

Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. 6:14 Then suddenly and inexplicably the fifth disaster occurs when the sky splits apart like a scroll from the earthly perspective revealing the disaster of what’s left of life on earth. Just when men think the worst is over, the sixth disaster strikes. The whole crust of the earth begins to move and shift. The “continental drift” theory becomes reality and in perceived motion not gradual
