Yes — Revelation 6:12 records the sun becoming black and the moon as blood, and Les Feldick teaches these signs result from the atmospheric dust and pollution caused by earthquakes and volcanoes.
Along with a great earthquake at the sixth seal, Les describes cataclysmic earthquakes and probably volcanoes blackening out the sun. The moon turns red as blood because of all the pollution in the air. These are visible earthly consequences of massive upheaval on the planet.
Revelation 6:12 — This is the verse where the sixth seal reveals a great earthquake and the sun and moon signs.
Matthew 24:29 — Jesus describes the sun darkened and the moon not giving light after the tribulation, which Les ties to end-time signs.
Luke 21:25 — This verse speaks of signs in the sun, moon, and stars with the powers of heaven shaken, which Les says indicates God's wrath being poured out.
Revelation 6:12 says, "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;" The verse places these phenomena immediately after a great earthquake, but it does not explain the physical cause in the text itself. Jesus gave a related prophecy in Matthew 24:29: "Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:" Luke 21:25 also describes signs in the sun, moon, and stars with the powers of heaven shaken. Scripture connects these signs with the end-time troubles and God's wrath, but the text does not spell out the mechanism.
Les teaches that the sun and moon signs in Revelation 6 are the result of cataclysmic events on earth, specifically earthquakes and volcanoes. He says that because of all the pollution in the air, the moon will turn red as blood, while the sun will actually be blackened out. Les places the sixth seal at the midpoint of the tribulation. Les points to the great earthquake that accompanies the opening of the sixth seal as part of this scenario (Clip 1). He also uses the illustration of a single volcano affecting the whole atmosphere and weather of the planet, then multiplies that by thousands of great volcanoes to picture the upheaval (Clip 6). He connects these same kinds of signs with Matthew 24:29 and Luke 21:25, seeing them as indications that end-time events are near and that God's wrath is being poured out (Clip 4, Clip 5).
Les says the moon turns red as blood because of all the pollution in the air. He describes the planet being in convulsions with earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Even a single volcano can send dust around the globe and affect the atmosphere and weather. Multiplied by thousands of volcanic and seismic events, that pollution changes how the moon appears from earth.
Revelation 6:12 records a great earthquake at the same time the sun becomes black and the moon becomes as blood, but the text does not give a scientific explanation. Matthew 24:29 and Luke 21:25 describe similar signs without specifying their physical cause. The Bible simply presents them as prophetic events.
Les speaks of great meteorites coming down and hitting the earth as part of the disturbances in the cosmos (Clip 3). He also notes that events in outer space—like the signs in the sun, moon, and stars—indicate the end is near (Clip 4, Clip 5). These all fit into the same period of God's wrath being poured out.
In Revelation 16:10, the fifth bowl brings darkness upon the kingdom of the beast. Les says this happens because of what God will do with the planet in its orbit—it will lose the light of the sun, or it will burn in its heat, bringing total darkness (Clip 2). He does not equate this with the sixth-seal darkening in Revelation 6; instead, it is part of the later bowl judgments.
What Happens When God's Wrath Finally Begins — Revelation 6
It's going to be the most awful seven -year period in all of human history, and we'll be seeing that as Jesus spoke of it in Matthew 24. But for sake of time now, I'd like to have you come right on. In Revelation chapter 6, we're going to take these seals.
Atmospheric Cause of Sun and Moon Signs
Les teaches that the moon becomes blood-red and the sun is blackened because of the pollution in the air produced by earthquakes and volcanoes at the sixth seal.
Fifth Bowl Darkness
Les comments on the fifth bowl's total darkness over the beast's kingdom, linking it to God's cosmic actions on the planet's orbit.
Meteorites and Cosmic Disturbances
Les mentions great meteorites striking the earth as part of the end-time cosmological disturbances that accompany these judgments.
Signs in the Sun, Moon, and Stars
Les cites Luke 21:25 to show that signs in the sun, moon, and stars, along with roaring seas, are part of God's wrath being poured out on the earth.
Sun Darkened and Moon Without Light
Les connects Matthew 24:29, where the sun is darkened and the moon does not give light, with end-time signs that are immediately after the tribulation.
Volcanoes and Earthquake Activity
Les shows how a single volcano can affect the whole atmosphere with dust, so multiplied volcanoes and earthquakes would produce planetary-scale atmospheric effects.

This particular one will land in the ocean evidently, and the third part of the sea became blood, and the third part of all creatures living in the sea and had life died, and the third part of shipping. See, it's going to be in an area where there's evidently shipping lanes, and a lot of ships will be destroyed in this one event.
Revelation 6:12: 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;
This is the key verse showing the sixth seal, the great earthquake, and the blackened sun and blood-like moon.
Matthew 24:29: Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
Jesus describes similar sun and moon signs in His prophetic discourse, which Les connects to the same end-time period.
Luke 21:25: And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
This verse lists the signs in the sun, moon, and stars that accompany end-time distress on earth.
Revelation 16:10: And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness: and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
Les cites this bowl judgment as a separate later event bringing total darkness over the beast's kingdom.
Les Feldick teaches that the sun is blackened out because of the cataclysmic events of earthquakes and probably volcanoes. The dust and pollution in the air darken the sun from the earth's perspective.
Les says the moon turns red as blood because of all the pollution in the air. Volcanic and earthquake activity sends enough debris into the atmosphere to make the moon appear blood-red.
Revelation 6:12 connects the signs with a great earthquake but does not explain the physical cause in the text. Les offers the natural explanation of atmospheric dust and pollution from earthquakes and volcanoes.
