The Bible Column - Will you Escape the "Great Tribulation?"
“And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he riseth to shake terribly the earth. In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats; To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.” Isaiah 2:19-21
“And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?” Revelation 6:16-17
“And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.” Revelation 9:6
These verses and many more tell us in prophecy form, the coming situation of those outside of God’s love during the Great Tribulation upon this sin cursed earth. Idols of silver and gold will be of no value to the owners. Caves and rocks will be a sought refuge from the literal and physical wrath of the Lord against people’s sins. Death will elude people for a time, so that the wrath of God’s judgment will be felt in full force. No one outside of God’s forgiveness will be able to stand!
