I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. 17:6

5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:

10And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

How long will it be, Oh Lord,
until you avenge our blood on those who live on earth. [3]
11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

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;

13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
And all the stars fell to earth.
14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
Heaven rolled up like a scroll,
and every mountain and island were moved someplace else.
15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
Everyone on earth fled to the mountains
and hid in holes in the rocks,
16And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
where they said to the mountains and rocks,
Fall on us.
Hide us from the wrath of the one who sits on the throne,
and from the wrath of the lamb.
Jesus (the 7-eyed, 7-horned, dead lamb from chapter 5) begins breaking seals and all kinds of bad shit happens.
The first four seals are the famous four horsemen of the apocalypse.
Before each seal is broken, a beast tells John to "come and see."
The fifth seal is dead martyrs. This is the excuse for all the other killings.
Sixth seal: A great earthquake, the sun becomes black, and the moon red, the stars fall from heaven, mountains and islands move around, and everyone on earth wishes they were dead (if they're not already).
