Revelation 6:12-13

¹² When He [the Lamb] broke open the sixth seal, I looked, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun grew black as sackcloth of hair, [the full disc of] the moon became like blood.

• The message and the messengers of God will be hated as we never have before during the Great Tribulation. This is the sun growing dark. 
• The hair is us, we will be hated and we will be sorrowful about those who are being destroyed for believing a lie, thus sackcloth. 
• The earthquake represents a changing of attitude of the world as a whole towards us. I honestly believe the world will be acting religious, but it will be all anti-christ. So it will be all about man and what we can do. 
• Black is satanic, so religion will look righteous, but in reality it will be controlled by satan. Many will follow after it and the anti-christ. If it was chaotic then one man would not be able to be in control. Nor would people be saying peace and safety. 
• The Sun and moon are Jesus and His church. The Truth will be hated and those who are truly called to be part of the Truth will be killed for it.
• Think of what we have studied about the end times, men will be lovers of self, prideful, and boastful, 2 Timothy 3:2. They will be marrying and given in marriage, Matthew 24:38, as they are saying peace and safety, 1 Thessalonians 5:3. So for all of these things to be happening the world has to be doing pretty well. The prosperity of the world is what will cause men to abandon the Truth of Jesus.
• If the world was in turbulence men would flock to the Truth, because they would be unable to grasp any hope that they could succeed on their own. But if everything is going great, then men will only have to have a form of godliness, but they will easily deny the true power of our Father.  

¹³ And the stars of the sky dropped to the earth like a fig tree shedding its unripe fruit out of season when shaken by a strong wind.

• Wind represents war and strife. The Truth will be attacked as it never has before. 
• Unripe fruit is unrighteous people. These people will believe the lies of the anti-christ and follow him fanatically. 
• Stars are Leaders. Ungodly leaders, fallen angels will take control of the earth. 
• Sky represents those who are supposedly associated with God.
• Earth is people.
• So the messages of the unrighteous leaders will fail, even though it looks like it should succeed.  The message will fail because only the Truth will set men free.
• Many who are fake Christians will fall away, 2 Thessalonians 2:3. During the end times the hot will become hotter and the cold will be colder, and the lukewarm will be cast out. The unrighteous will flood to the anti-christ because of his fake miracles and they will leave Truth.
