The Lamb opens the Sixth Seal



και ουρανος απεχωρισθη ως βιβλιον ειλισσομενον και παν ορος και νησος εκ των τοπων αυτων εκινηθησαν

kai o ouranos apecwrisqh ws biblion elissomenon kai pan oros kai nhsos ek twn topwn autwn ekinhqhsan

Rev 6.14 And the heaven departed like a scroll being rolled up. And every mountain and island were moved out of their places.





Compare to 81.3…



وَإِذَا الْجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتْ

Wa-itha aljibalu suyyirat

Summary of 81.3:

• The Book of Revelation dictates Koranic Eschatology
• The Lamb (i.e. Jesus), by opening the Sixth Seal, causes the mountains to move
• 81.3 begins with “wa-itha”, which is a continuation of 81.2, and can be rendered as “remember the time”…hence the information contained in this ayah also existed prior to it being penned in Arabic
• Revelation tells us that “pas” “oros”, or all mountains, were “kineo”, or moved
• 81.3 tells us that “aljibalu”, or all mountains, will be “suyyirat”, or moved
• Observe that the authors of the Koran chose to list three successive events all from the opening of the Biblical Sixth Seal…Reminiscent of a Koranic “666”
• In reviewing ayahs 81.1 – 81.3, we discover that the Koranic authors mention only the even numbered events (of the seven described), when Jesus opens the Sixth Seal:
1. Earthquake
2. Sun becomes black
3. Moon becomes red
4. Stars fall to earth
5. Heaven departs
6. Mountains move
7. Kings hide
• In typical fashion, the Koran disseminates portions of its source material; i.e. the Biblical material is strewn across the suras, many times not in the order in which it originated
• The Book of Revelation, i.e. the source for this Koranic material, is required to provide the missing Koranic details
• By acknowledging three of the elements described by Jesus’ opening of the Sixth Seal, the author’s of the Koran are acknowledging the divinity of Jesus, as only God has the power to perform these things
