Revelation 6:12 in Context — Revelation 6

10 Y clamaban en alta voz diciendo: ¿Hasta cuándo, Señor, santo y verdadero, no juzgas y vengas nuestra sangre de los que moran en la tierra?

11 Y les fueron dadas sendas ropas blancas, y fuéles dicho que reposasen todavía un poco de tiempo, hasta que se completaran sus consiervos y sus hermanos, que también habían de ser muertos como ellos.

12 Y miré cuando él abrió el sexto sello, y he aquí fué hecho un gran terremoto; y el sol se puso negro como un saco de cilicio, y la luna se puso toda como sangre;

13 Y las estrellas del cielo cayeron sobre la tierra, como la higuera echa sus higos cuando es movida de gran viento.

14 Y el cielo se apartó como un libro que es envuelto; y todo monte y las islas fueron movidas de sus lugares.
