And I looked, and behold, a white horse! And its rider had a bow, and a crown was given to him, and he came out conquering, and to conquer. ~ Revelation 6:2
John has just described some very terrible future events. At that time, people will believe that the end of the world will happen very soon. It will seem to them that the world and the sky are actually falling apart.
People will consider the towns and cities unsafe. So, they will try to find places to stay in the mountains and caves. Formerly, they forced God’s people to hide in such places (Hebrews 11:38). Now, they themselves will escape to the same places.
At that time, people will not even want to live. Instead, they will desire death. They will wish that the rocks would fall upon them to hide them from the anger of God and of Christ. That is a very foolish thought. The truth is that nobody can hide from God, whether by death or by any other means. God is the perfect judge. He sees everything; he knows everything. He even sees people in hell (Psalm 139:8). Whether people are alive or dead, God will be their judge (20:11-15).
Then the kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and everyone, slave and free, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, calling to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?” ~ Revelation 6:15-17
