THE GREAT EARTHQUAKE: Revelation 6:12 "There was a great Earthquake. The Sun became Black as Sackcloth of Hair. The Moon became as Blood." To understand this symbolic meaning of the Earthquake We will break it down into TWO parts, (THE EARTH) and the QUICKENING) The EARTH IS SYMBOLIC, as in Rev. 12"15: DRAGON CAST OUT OF HIS MOUTH WATER. 12"16: THE EARTH OPENED ITS MOUTH AND SWALLOWED UP THE FLOOD. The symbolic meaning of the earth here, is the Political People that opened their borders to the Immigrants. This Great Shaking or moving of the People: was the Warfare of the 30-Year War. The shaking was symbolic, as someone would say I was greatly shaken or moved by something that took place. This was Warfare between Catholicism, and Protestants. After the Reformation of Martin Luther: the Protestants enjoyed some Freedom. But the Protestants began losing their Freedom to Worship God. In the Year 1608 the Protestants Organized the Evangelical Union. The Catholics Formed the Holy League. This began an End to the Protestants Freedom of Worship. The Earthquake was the 30-Year War. Symbolically speaking, the thirty year war was the height of the Great winter Tribulation of Martyring, Jesus described in Matthew 24,22"...
THE SUN BECAME, BLACK AS SACKCLOTH OF HAIR: Revelation 6:12 "... And the Sun became Black as Sackcloth of Hair. The Moon became as Blood." THE SUN: The Sun is symbolic for the Word of God. This Sun was the Light of the Gospel, as in Revelation. Revelation 1:16 "... And His (Jesus) Countenance was as the Sun. The Sun shining in His Strength. THE MOON: The Moon is the Reflection of the Sun, which is the Word of God.
This Reflection of the Word of God is the Lives of the Children of God. The Sun Reflects off the Moon unto Those in Darkness. We that are the Children of God: We are the Only Light to the Children of Darkness. THE SUN BECAME, BLACK AS SACKCLOTH OF HAIR. The Only Lights to the Children of the Night: are the Elects of God. The Only Light the Sinners will see, are the Reflections of the Children of God. THE LIGHT IS THE WORD OF GOD: We are the Lights of the World,
as in Matthew 5:16 " Let your light so shine before men. Those Men may See your good Works, and Glorify God the Father. We are the Children of the Light. We are the Children of God, as in 1Thessalonians. 1Thessalonians 5:5 "You are... the Children of the Day..." The Sinners are the Children of the NIGHT. Revelation 6:12 "... And the Sun became Black as Sackcloth of Hair.
the moon became as blood." This same event is reflected in Joel 2:31 " The Sun shall be turned into darkness, and the Moon into Blood. Turned into blood, before that great and terrible (awesome) day of the LORD Come."
