OrthJBC - Revelation of John - 6

6:1  And I saw when the Seh (Lamb, Yeshayah 53:7) opened one of the sheva chotamot. And I heard one of the Arbah Chayyot saying, as with a voice of thunder, "Come!"

6:2  And I saw, and Hinei! a sus lavan (white horse), and the one sitting on it having a keshet (bow, Yechezkel 39:2[3]) and was given to him an atarah (diadem) and he went forth conquering, intent on conquest. [Zecharyah 1:8; 6:3,11; Tehillim 45:4]

6:3  And when he opened the chotam hasheyni, I heard the Hasheniyah of HaChayyot saying, "Come!"

6:4  And another sus (horse) went forth, a flame-red one, and to the one sitting on it was given him to take shalom from ha'aretz with men slaughtering one another, and was given to him a cherev gedolah. [Zecharyah 1:8; 6:2]

6:5  And when he opened the chotam hashlishi, I heard the HaShlishit of HaChayyot, saying, "Come!" And I saw and hinei! A sus shakhor (black horse), and the one sitting on it having a pair of scales in the yad of him. [Zecharyah 6:2]

6:6  And I heard, as it were, a kol (voice) in the midst of the Arbah Chayyot, saying, "A quart of wheat for a denarius and shloshah quarts of barley for a denarius, but the shemen (oil) and the yayin you may not harm." [Yechezkel 4:16]

6:7  And when he opened the chotam harevi'i, I heard the kol of the HaReve'it of HaChayyot saying, "Come!"

6:8  And I saw, and hinei! a sus yerakrak (a greenish pale horse), and the one sitting upon it, that rider's name was Mavet, and She'ol was following with him. And there was given to them samchut (authority) over a quarter of ha'aretz, to kill with cherev and with ra'av and with mavet and by the chayyot of ha'aretz. [Zecharyah 6:3; Hoshea 13:14; Yirmeyah 15:2,3; 24:10; Yechezkel 5:12,17]

6:9  And when he opened the chotam hakhamishi, I saw underneath the Mitzbe'ach (altar) the nefashot (souls) of the ones having died al kiddush Ha-Shem, having been slain as martyrs because of the dvar Hashem and because of their solemn edut (testimony) which they had given. [Shemot 29:12; Vayikra 4:7]

6:10  And they cried out, saying, "Rabbono shel Olam, HaKadosh and HaAmiti, how much longer is it to be until you judge and avenge dahmeinu on the inhabitants of ha'aretz?" [Tehillim 119:84; Zecharyah 1:12; Devarim 32:43; Melachim Bais 9:7; Tehillim 79:10]

6:11  And they were each given a kittel (white robe) and it was told them that they will rest yet a little while, until the mispar (number) should be complete of their fellow avadim and their Achim b'Moshiach, the ones about to die al kiddush Ha-Shem, being about to be killed as martyrs as they were.

6:12  And I saw when he opened the chotam hashishi, a great earthquake occurred and the shemesh (sun) became shakhor as sackcloth made of hair and the whole yare'ach (moon) became like dahm. [Tehillim 97:4; Yeshayah 29:6; Yechezkel 38:19; Yeshayah 50:3]

6:13  And the kokhavim of the Shomayim fell to ha'aretz, as an aitz te'enah (fig tree) casts off its unripe figs when being shaken by a great wind. [Yeshayah 34:4]

6:14  And the Shomayim split apart as a megillah scroll being rolled up and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. [Tehillim 46:2; Yeshayah 54:10; Yirmeyah 4:24; Yechezkel 38:20; Nachum 1:5]

6:15  And the melachim (kings) of ha'aretz and the gedolim and the military leaders and the ashirim (rich men) and the strongmen and all avadim and bnei Chorim hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains. [Yeshayah 2:10,19,21]

6:16  And they say to the mountains and to the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of the One sitting on the kisseh and from the za'am (wrath, 16:1f) of the Seh, (Lamb, Yeshayah 53:7), [Hoshea 10:8]

6:17  because the Yom HaGadol, the Yom HaZa'am, the Great Day of Their Wrath has come, and who is able to stand?" [Yoel 1:15; 2:1,2,11,31; Zefanyah 1:14,15; Nachum 1:6; Malachi 3:2]
