6:1–16:21 Three sets of seven judgments—the seals, trumpets, and bowls—form the core of Revelation. Some suggest that the judgments form a chronological sequence from beginning to end, with each set of judgments flowing from the seventh judgment of the previous set for a total of twenty-one successive judgments. More likely, the relationship is cyclical (as in other Jewish apocalyptic works; cp. Dan 2, 7, 8, 11), with each set conveying increasing intensity and adding new details of God’s judgment on those who rebel against him. In this perspective, all three cycles end at the same chronological point, with the return of Christ.
Note 1 topic: translate-unknown
σεισμὸς μέγας
/an/_earthquake great
An earthquake is a natural disaster in which the ground shakes, often destroying buildings, bridges, and other structures. Your language and culture may have a term for an earthquake that you can use in your translation. You could also use a general expression. Alternate translation: “a great shaking of the ground”
Note 2 topic: translate-unknown
ὡς σάκκος τρίχινος
as sackcloth hairy
The word sackcloth describes clothing for mourning that in this culture was woven from black goat hair. In this culture, the color black was associated with death. Alternate translation: “like mourning clothing” or “like the feathers of a raven”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
ἡ σελήνη ὅλη ἐγένετο ὡς αἷμα
the moon whole became like blood
The point of this comparison is that just as blood is red, the full moon turned read. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: “the full moon became red like blood”
