“And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men…and every bondman, and every free man…said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us…from the wrath of the Lamb” (Revelation 6:15-16).
Yesterday we spoke about the judgment of God, and here in Revelation 6 we see it beginning to be carried out. Many on the earth at that time will recognize clearly that judgment is coming, and that the Lord Jesus will be the One to do it. However, it is significant that they do not refer to Him as God, or as the Lord Jesus, but as the Lamb. Why is this?
The reason is very solemn. Those who are calling on the rocks and mountains to fall on them are not heathen people who have never heard the gospel. Rather they are those who live in so-called Christian countries, who know the gospel, and may have even grown up in Christian homes. They know who the Lord Jesus is, and they know that He died as the Lamb of God to put away our sins. But they never accepted Him as Savior, and now they are about to fall under His judgment.
I hope that all who read this are saved, and will never be among those who call on the rocks and mountains to fall on them, to hide them from the judgment of God.
