Revelation 6:16

Compare all

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 6:16

Said to the mountains and rocks - Expressions which denote the strongest perturbation and alarm. They preferred any kind of death to that which they apprehended from this most awful revolution.

From the face of him that sitteth on the throne - They now saw that all these terrible judgments came from the Almighty; and that Christ, the author of Christianity, was now judging, condemning, and destroying them for their cruel persecutions of his followers.
