Revelation 6:15-17
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?”
Subject: God's Wrath
In this passage we are seeing what happens when man rejects God's grace - they, instead, experience God's wrath. Man, in pride, wants to live their life separate from God. Yet, when they want something they call out to God. At the end, God will bring His wrath on mankind, as seen above. Note that in these verses man wants to have the rocks crush him, instead of submitting to God. God's wrath is going to be so intense and man's pride so hard, that they would prefer to have rocks crush them than to submit to God's rule. The irony is that upon their death they will meet God face to face. So, in life they will experience His wrath and in death His wrath. When man rejects God's grace there is nothing left for God to provide except His wrath.
