"In my morning prayer:
Q– Have the 'heavens departed as a scroll, and every mountain and island moved out of their places' already been fulfilled? (see Revelation 6:14)
A– Yes, by reason of all the worldwide earthquakes, physical places have moved. This is not the same times as 'the curtains of heaven shall be unfolded as a scroll' (see D&C 88:95).
Q– Have the events of Revelation chapter 6 all been fulfilled now?
A– Yes
Q– This means the following has already happened: A through G below, taken from Revelation 6:12-17 and 7:1-8.
(Note that I have also added some url links or embedded video links which may be interesting to see):
A. Great earthquake.
Frequency of earthquakes has dramatically increased

There have been many great earthquakes in recent times that could easily qualify as a great earthquake. I am sure there will also be many more also. (Note: the chart above shows the increase in earthquakes, as a sign of the times we live in.)
B. Sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood.
Solar eclipse, like sun turning into sackcloth of hair
Blood moon, like moon turning into blood
From http://www.space.com/13856-total-lunar-eclipse-rare-senelion.html, an occurance happened recently in 2011, where both the solar eclipse and blood moon were visible at the same moment from the earth. This seems to be literally fulfilling the prophecy of "the sun shall be darkened and the moon turned to blood, before the great and dreadful day of the Lord" (Joel 2:31). This phenomenon fulfilled this scripture in a way I had not thought: it happened all at the same time, for both the sun and the moon, in the same event, for they were both visible from the same viewing location!
C. Stars of heaven fell to the earth.
Meteorite showers on the earth, like stars of heaven falling to the earth
D. Heavens departed as a scroll when it is rolled together.
Dust storm, showing the heavens departing like a scroll
E. Every mountain and island are moved out of their place.
I believe now that all of the tectonic plates in the crust of the earth have shifted. Here is a story of one that actually moved the island of Japan by 8 feet:
April 20, 2011: http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/asiapcf/03/12/japan.earthquake.tsunami.earth/
F. Kings of the earth, rich men, chief captains, mighty men–hid themselves in dens of the rocks of the mountains, saying 'Fall upon us, hide us from the face of him that sitteth upon the throne, and from the wrath of the Lord, for the great day of his wrath is come, and who shall be able to stand?

For the very first time, a modern day Noah’s Ark has opened its doors for an exclusive inside look offering up plans for the ultimate Billionaire bunker and doomsday escape.
The video above is a news report, more about the controversial secret bunkers under the Denver, Colorado airport.
G. 144,000 sealed.
In Revelation 7:1-8, John sees four angels to whom is given power over the winds of the earth, to save life and destroy (see D&C 77:7), who are waiting for the servants of God to be sealed in their foreheads. These are the 144,000 who are sealed, all done at the end of the sixth seal. I believe all of these have now been sealed, but most have not yet translated. See my comments on my earlier posts.
In Revelation 7:9-17, John sees visions of the celestial world, with angels and such round about the throne (temple) of God, shown living fountains of waters. This was shown him during the period of the sixth seal. I believe this was seen in heaven, not on the earth. I have seen very similar images around the temple in the celestial kingdom, including the temple of God, fountains and rivers.
A– Yes, all of these have been fulfilled!
R's Personal Journal Entry, 7-24-2016 Sunday
"Here are some other Q&As from the last two days:
Q– When have the 'heavens departed as a scroll', in Revelations 6:14, been fulfilled?
A– In the two following times:
1. When there have been volcanic eruptions, the sky appears to be rolled up, as the billowing volcanic ash and smoke rolls forth and entirely covers the heavens.
2. When, in the desert areas like Phoenix, Arizona, when huge dust storms completely roll over the heavens, so one cannot see anything by reason of the thick dust.
In both of these instances, the heavens appear to be departed as a scroll.
Q– How are mountains and islands moved out of their places? Have they really moved?
A– They are moved when earthquakes move them, becoming unstable. The very crust of the earth has become broken up and had movement, no longer becoming a solid mass anymore. See Helaman 14:21-22 ' . . . and the rocks which are upon the face of this earth, which are both above the earth and beneath, which ye know at this time are solid, or the more part of it is one solid mass, shall be broken up;
Yea, they shall be rent in twain, and shall ever after be found in seams and in cracks, and in broken fragments upon the face of the whole earth, yea, both above the earth and beneath.'
This breaking up started at the destruction of the land of America at the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. It has continued to move since then–among mountains and islands, due to earthquakes and volcanic activity, all around the globe.
John was shown these events during the opening of the 6th seal. The heavens depart as a scroll during both the volcanic ash rolling forth, and huge dust storms rolling forth. He saw the volcanoes and earthquake activity that shook the ground, moving every mountain and island during the span of the 1,000-year period of the 6th seal.
Q– How have the men hid in the dens and rocks of the mountains?
A– In Revelation 6:15, there has been 'dens and in the rocks of the mountains'–or hideout areas, many vast networks of shelters created by the rich of the earth (including corrupt government agencies), and those in power in many nations including the United States. These were created in fear of the destructions which will come from nuclear war, lawlessness, and calamities like earthquakes and volcanoes on the earth's surface. Many of these wicked people fear God, and want to be hidden and protected in the earth, while these destructions come on the surface."

"And indeed, during a lunar eclipse, the sun and moon are exactly 180 degrees apart in the sky; so in a perfect alignment like this (a "syzygy") such an observation would seem impossible.
But it is atmospheric refraction that makes a selenelion possible.
Atmospheric refraction causes astronomical objects to appear higher in the sky than they are in reality.
For example: when you see the sun sitting on the horizon, it is not there really. It's actually below the edge of the horizon, but our atmosphere acts like a lens and bends the sun's image just above the horizon, allowing us to see it.
This effect actually lengthens the amount of daylight for several minutes or more each day; we end up seeing the sun for a few minutes in the morning before it has actually risen and for a few extra minutes in the evening after it actually already has set. "

April 20, 2011: http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/asiapcf/03/12/japan.earthquake.tsunami.earth/
"The powerful earthquake that unleashed a devastating tsunami Friday appears to have moved the main island of Japan by 8 feet (2.4 meters) and shifted the Earth on its axis.
'At this point, we know that one GPS station moved (8 feet), and we have seen a map from GSI (Geospatial Information Authority) in Japan showing the pattern of shift over a large area is consistent with about that much shift of the land mass,' said Kenneth Hudnut, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
Reports from the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology in Italy estimated the 8.9-magnitude quake shifted the planet on its axis by nearly 4 inches (10 centimeters)."
