Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Philippians 2:5ff (Spoke 6, Cycle 3)

The sun went dark at the sixth hour when Christ - the Light of the World - was crucified (Luke 23.44):

And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.

Exactly the same phenomenon is seen when the Sixth Seal of Revelation is opened in Revelation 6:

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;

This then forms a Spoke 6 KeyLink from the Inner Wheel of Revelation to the Inner Wheel of Isaiah, based on the set (Black*, Sackcloth) [Verify], which appears only in Revelation 6.12 (above) and this verse from Isaiah 50:

I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.

We have the KeyLink:

The profound integration of Isaiah 50 and Philippians, which contains the text of the Kenosis (Self-emptying), is discussed in The Humilation of Christ. The explicit declaration of Philippians in the quote at the head of this page that Christ was "found in fashion as a man" links to the fundamental meaning of the Number 6 as the Number of Man - whose creation occurred on the Sixth Day, and whose destruction is prohibited in the Sixth Commandment.

Thus, we have a full integration of the surface text - the Sixth Hour being the time the sun was darkened - with the internal structure of Revelation, Isaiah, and the Christian Canon.
