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).
