Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 6:12-17

And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal - See the notes at Revelation 5:1; Revelation 6:1.And, lo, there was a great earthquake - Before endeavoring to ascertain to what the sixth seal was designed to refer, it is proper, as in the previous cases, to furnish a particular explanation of the meaning of the symbols. All the symbols represented in the opening of this seal denote consternation, commotion, changes; but still they are all significant, and we are to suppose that something would... read more

Revelation 6:12-17. And I beheld Further in my vision; when he The Lamb; had opened the sixth seal; and lo! there was a great earthquake Greek, σεισμος μεγας εγενετο , there was a great concussion: for the expression comprehends the shaking of heaven as well as of the earth; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair It lost its usual lustre, and looked black and dark, as in a total eclipse; and the moon became as blood Instead of appearing with its usual brightness in the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Revelation 6:1-17

6:1-8:5 THE SEVEN SEALSMuch of the next part of the book records three series of judgment visions that John saw - the seven seals (6:1-8:5), the seven trumpets (8:6-11:19) and the seven bowls of wrath (15:1-16:21). John also saw another series of visions, the seven thunders, but God did not allow him to record them (10:3-4). This is a reminder that God has not given us all the information about what he is doing, and will yet do, as he brings his purposes in the world to fulfilment.In the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Revelation 6:12-17

Revelation 6:12-17. I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, &c.— The sixth seal or period produces mighty changes and revolutions, which, according to the prophetic style, are expressed by great commotions in the earth, and in the heavens. The very same images, the very same expressions are used by the other prophets concerning the mutations and alterations of religions and governments; and why may they not therefore, with equal propriety and fitness, be applied to one of the greatest... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Revelation 6:17

17. Literally, "the day, the great (day)," which can only mean the last great day. After the Lord has exhausted all His ordinary judgments, the sword, famine, pestilence, and wild beasts, and still sinners are impenitent, the great day of the Lord itself' shall come. :- plainly forms a perfect parallelism to the six seals, not only in the events, but also in the order of their occurrence: :-, the first seal; Matthew 24:6, the second seal; Matthew 24:7, the third seal; Matthew 24:7, end, the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Revelation 6:12-17

6. The sixth seal 6:12-17The scene now shifts back to earth."The entire passage in every clause utilizes well known prophetic anticipations of the day of the Lord, and by his use of these images John identifies the day for his readers. One may check this by consulting the chief scriptures John employs, notably Joel 2:10; Joel 2:30 f., Isaiah 13:9 ff; Isaiah 2:10 ff; Isaiah 34:4, Ezekiel 32:7 f., Hosea 10:8. These passages depict the concomitants of the day of the Lord and supply John with all... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Revelation 6:17

This "great day of their wrath" is the Tribulation, Daniel’s seventieth week (cf. Jeremiah 30:7; Daniel 12:1; Joel 2:2; Matthew 24:21). These people will not turn to God in repentance but from Him in terror (cf. Isaiah 2:19; Isaiah 2:21; Hosea 10:8; Luke 23:30). By the end of the sixth seal judgment, they will know that what they are experiencing is the outpouring of His wrath. This is the first part of the judgment phase of the day of the Lord (cf. Joel 2:11; Joel 2:30-31; Isaiah 2:10-11;... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 6:1-17

The Six SealsThe afflicted Church has been reminded in Revelation 4 f. that God is over all, and that the future is committed to the Lamb. Now (Revelation 6 - Revelation 8:1) she is shown that future, unrolling to its appointed end, i.e. the judgment of the enemies of God and the triumph of those who ’overcome.’ The Lamb opens the seven seals. Apparently we are to understand that, as each seal is opened, a portion of that which is written in the book is revealed pictorially. Revelation 7... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Revelation 6:12-17

(12-17) The sixth seal.—The seals follow the lines laid down by our Lord in Matthew 24:0. There He tells His disciples that wars (Revelation 6:6), famines and pestilences (Revelation 6:7), and persecutions (Revelation 6:9) are to be expected; these are necessary features in the history of the world. But these features are described by our Master as preliminary to His Coming and the end of the world (Matthew 24:3), and that when these had wrought their work then the Coming of the Son of Man... read more
