The kings of the earth, its famous people, and its military leaders hid in caves or behind rocks on the mountains. They hid there together with the rich and the powerful and with all the slaves and free people. Then they shouted to the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us! Hide us from the one who sits on the throne and from the anger of the Lamb. That terrible day has come! God and the Lamb will show their anger, and who can face it?"
Revelation 6 for me needed reading a couple of times. I must be honest I was a little lost. But then I came to the end of the chapter which is the above verses. The thing that really struck me about these verses was the fact that the famous people hid from the wrath of God, the military leaders, the rich and the powerful hid as well as the slaves.
Let's think about this for a minute. We think so much of the rich and famous, we read about them, some people aspire to be like them, however, God has no favourites. Each person on this planet no matter what colour, creed, rich, poor, famous or unknown will be judged. It doesn't matter how much you have in the bank, or how many fans you have, you are still the same as anyone else in God's eyes.
The only way to solve this problem is to have a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. He came to save a lost world. He came for everyone, and so it doesn't matter what status we have in life as long as we know our Creator. If you don't know your creator, do it now! It won't cost you anything, but it cost God everything!
