The 144,000 People of Israel
6 1Then I watched while the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. I heard one
of the four living things speak with a voice like thunder. It said, "Come!" 2I looked
and there before me was a white horse. The rider on the horse held a bow. The rider
was given a crown. And he rode out, defeating the enemy. He rode out to win the
victory. 3The Lamb opened the second seal. Then I heard the second living thing
say, "Come!" 4Then another horse came out. This was a red horse. The rider on the
horse was given power to take away peace from the earth. He was given power to make
people kill each other. This rider was given a big sword. 5The Lamb opened the third
seal. Then I heard the third living thing say, "Come!" I looked, and there before
me was a black horse. The rider on the horse held a pair of scales in his hand.
6Then I heard something that sounded like a voice. The voice came from where the
four living things were. The voice said, "A quart of wheat for a day's pay. And
three quarts of barley for a day's pay. And don't hurt the oil and wine!" 7The
Lamb opened the fourth seal. Then I heard the voice of the fourth living thing say,
"Come!" 8I looked and there before me was a pale-colored horse. The rider on the
horse was death. Hades* was following close behind him. They were given power over
a fourth of the earth. They were given power to kill people by using the sword,
by starving, by disease, and with the wild animals of the earth. 9The Lamb opened
the fifth seal. Then I saw some souls under the altar.* They were the souls of those
people who had been killed because they were faithful to God's message* and to the
truth they had received. 10These souls shouted in a loud voice, "Holy and true Lord,
how long until you judge the people of the earth and punish them for killing us?"
11Then each one of those souls was given a white robe. They were told to wait a
short time longer. There were still some of their brothers in the service of Christ
who must be killed like they were. Those souls were told to wait until all of this
killing was finished. 12Then I watched while the Lamb opened the sixth seal. There
was a great earthquake. The sun became dark like [black] cloth made from hair. The
full moon became red like blood. 13The stars in the sky fell to the earth like a
fig tree drops its figs when the wind blows. 14The sky was divided. It was rolled
up like a scroll.* And every mountain and island was moved from its place. 15Then
all the people hid in caves and behind the rocks on the mountains. There were the
kings of the world, the rulers, the army commanders, the rich people and the powerful
people. Every person, slave and free, hid himself. 16The people said to the mountains
and the rocks, "Fall on us. Hide us from the face of the One who sits on the throne.
Hide us from the anger of the Lamb! 17The great day for their anger has come. No
person can stand against it."
Footnotes: Hades Place where people go after they die. altar Place where sacrifices
