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;"
As the Sixth seal is broken there will be an earthquake that will cause great "physical Changes" to occur on earth. "And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come." (Joel 2:30-31). "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:" (Matt. 24:29.
It will be so terrible that men will call for the mountains and rocks to fall on them and hide them from the wrath of the Lamb. "Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it. For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine. And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible." (Is. 13:9-11).
There is a break between the "Sixth" and "Seventh" Seals where there is a pause or interval, during which 144,000 of the Children of Israel, that being 12,000 from each of the twelve tribes will be "sealed." Remember there were 7000 in Ahab's time that would not bow their knee to Baal. "Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him." (I Kgs. 19:18).
So in the Tribulation there will be 144,000 of Israel who will not bow their knee to Antichrist. They are "sealed" by an angel, and the "seal" is the imprint of the "Father's Name" on their foreheads. "And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads" (Rev. 14:1; 22:4).

Then John saw "A Great Multitude." This is another class of the saved of the "End Time." These are not the Church. "These saved souls come out of the "Great tribulation." Which most likely are Gentiles who accepted Christ as their Saviour after the Church was called out. They are saved and will serve God in His Heavenly Temple, and never hunger or thirst any more. Since they were not part of the Church when it was called up, they will not participate in any Millennial blessings on the earth.
Now the breaking of the 'Seventh Seal." After the seal is open there will be a silence in Heaven for about 30 minutes. Notice that this is for a limited amount of time. This is a period of preparation for the greater conflict to come. Following the silence "Seven Angels" stood before God and they were given Seven Trumpets. "And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound." (Rev. 8:6).Amen!!
