“And 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 of the mountains;”
Then the kings of the earth and the magnates 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 — the five-fold enumeration of earthly powers (baseis, megas, stratēgoi, plousioi, ischyroi) reveals the false security of human hierarchy; all without distinction (panta, everyone) seek shelter in futile self-protection. Their hiding acknowledges the judgment's reality.
