Revelation 6:15-16



And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb!

·         John describes those affected from seven categories of society. He emphasizes how leaders will respond: kings (presidents); great men (world leaders); rich men (financial leaders); military commanders; mighty men (civil leaders); and slaves and free men (common class majority).

·         Meteoroids will bombard the earth, like a fig tree losing its figs when strong winds blow on it. John saw men hiding in caves to escape the debris falling from the sky as a part of the wrath of the Lamb. This intensifies later when 100-pound hailstones fall in the seventh bowl (Rev. 16:21).
