Revelation 6 15-17

Rev 6: 15And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men,and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman,and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks ofthe mountains;16And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us fromthe face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of theLamb:17For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? KJV


There are 7 different kinds of men mentioned in verse 15:
1.  Kings
2.  Great men
3.  The rich men
4.  The chief captains
5.  The mighty men
6.  The bondman
7.  Every free man


These are the most stoic, heroic, manly men.  These are the men people run to for advice, protection, and security.   But, it says here that they will hide.  In my research I have come across some discriptive words of this time John is speaking of:
Isaiah 13: 7 & 8:7Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt:8And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames. KJV
Zephaniah1 :14 The  great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.15That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,KJV
Joel 2:1Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble:...KJV
Luke 23:30Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and tothe hills, Cover us.  KJV  (Christ was saying this on his way to the cross.)
These verses are just a few I felt compelled to mention. Mere words cannot describe how bad it is going to be.  It will be universal and men will seek a hiding place to escape the wrath of the Lord.
  
The Wrath mentioned in verse 17 is not like the wrath mentioned in Romans 2:5 or, the one mentioned later in Revelation 20.  This starts in the opening of the 6th seal (remember, this will occur in the first 3 1/2 years of the week).  This wrath will continue till the end of "the week'" or the end of the 3 1/2 years.  Recall the prior blog, one week is 7 years!


Not really sure of what to say here other than the time is drawing closer and closer.  Please be sure to be with Christ and the church before these times of terrible wrath.




Nest, we start chapter 7!
