Summary of 81.11:

• The Book of Revelation dictates Koranic Eschatology
• The Lamb (i.e. Jesus), by opening the Sixth Seal, causes the heaven to depart like a scroll being rolled up
• 81.11 begins with “wa-itha”, which is a continuation of 81.10, and can be as “remember the time”…hence the information contained in this ayah also existed prior to it being penned in Arabic
• Revelation tells us that “ouranos”, or the heaven/sky, will “apochorizo”, or depart
• 81.11 tells us that “alssamao”, or the heaven/sky, will be “kushitat”, or unveiled
• Revelation compares this departing of the heavens to that of a scroll being rolled up
• Similarly, in 81.11, the “kushitat”, or unveiling, is described as when the heaven shall be removed from its place, like as a roof is removed from its place….or shall be pulled off and folded together
• In reviewing ayahs 81.1 – 81.11, we discover that the Koranic authors now mention four 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 four 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
