Revelation 6:15–17
Revelation 6:12–17 opens the sixth seal with earthquake, darkened sun, blood-like moon, falling stars, and the shaking of heaven and earth. The imagery draws from the prophets’ Day-of-the-LORD vocabulary and culminates with humanity hiding from the face of the One on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb. The question “who shall be able to stand?” leads directly into Revelation 7.
Revelation 6 places its “who shall be able to stand?” question beside “the wrath of the Lamb” (6:16–17), creating a Christological resonance with Nahum’s question about who can stand before the LORD’s indignation.
Revelation's terrified rulers hiding among rocks from divine wrath develops Isaiah 2's Day-of-the-LORD scene.
