Revelation 6:15

hide themselves in caves
Here is the classic record of man’s response to his own sin—a vain attempt to hide from the omnipresent, omniscient, almighty God (Gen. Gen. 3:8; Rev. Rev. 6:16+). In the irony of God, those who persecuted God’s servants, who were “destitute, afflicted, tormented—of whom the world was not worthy,” who “wandered in deserts and mountains, in dens and caves of the earth” (Heb. Heb. 11:38) now experience firsthand a similar affliction from the very hand of God.
