Compare all
13 aAnd the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind.  
14 aThen the sky1 receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and bevery mountain and island was moved out of its place.  
15 And the akings of the earth, the great men,1 the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, bhid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains,  
16 aand said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who bsits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb!  
17 For the great day of His wrath has come, aand who is able to stand?”

Revelation 6:15-17

Revelation 6:14 The heaven departed. The old religions, supposed to be of heavenly origin, pass away. Every mountain and island were moved. "Mountain" and "island" are used to denote earthly rulers and kingdoms, the latter referring more especially to European provinces which are often called "the isles of the sea" in the Bible (Esther 10:1 Isa 24:15). From the period of Diocletian, the great persecutor, the title "Your Eminence", or, in other words, "mountain", was bestowed upon princes. As a mountain stood above the plain, so the rulers of the earth were exalted.
