How does the sixth seal earthquake relate to Jesus' Matthew 24 prophecy?
The sixth seal's great earthquake aligns with Jesus' Matthew 24 prophecy, which foretold famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in diverse places. Revelation shows this earthquake occurring when the sixth seal is opened, and earthquake activity has already increased dramatically, marking it as an end-time sign.
Les explains that the sixth seal introduces a great earthquake, and he connects it directly to Matthew 24, where Jesus said there would be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in diverse places. Les points out that earthquake activity is already increasing tremendously—up thousands of percent in recent decades—with many quakes daily that the media does not report, citing examples like China, southern Russia, and Iran. The sixth seal is one of the seven seals holding the scroll, and Christ is the One opening it to read and pay off the mortgage, so to speak.
And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
