Trying to use Revelation 6:12-17 to somehow back up the erroneous teaching that each of us are capable of understanding scripture is simply folly. We are given the same Spirit which the apostles were given to be able to understand.

1 Corinthians 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.

Acts 15:8 And God, who knows the heart, bore witness by granting them the holy Spirit just as he did us. 9 He made no distinction between us and them, for by faith he purified their hearts.

Clearly the reason for Spiritual guidance for those seeking truth was to protect us from the Pharisee type “rules” which the RCC promotes just as Paul was talking about in Acts.

Acts 15:10 Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?

I can assure you that I will not be hiding under a rock but will be looking up with anticipation and joy at the coming of our Lord and will “meet Him in the air” and that will happen long before the happenings of Revelation 6.

Just using Revelation 6 in reference to true Christians alive today shows ignorance of prophecy.
