The kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and free person hide in caves and call out to the rocks: fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb.
What's striking is they recognize who's coming. They know what it is they're trying to hide from. But they can't escape. The caves that should shelter them are inadequate. The rocks they call to can't protect them.
Their prayer for the rocks to fall on them is a prayer for death. Better to be crushed by rocks than face the Lamb. That's how overwhelming his presence is perceived by the guilty. There's no hiding place. No escape.
