Revelation 6:17 Revelation 6:17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? This great day of God, and the Lamb’ s wrath, was at last acknowledged and confessed by those persecutors. This dreadful dispensation of God’ s wrath happened in the days of the 10th and last bloody persecution of the Christians, when Diocelsian was Emperior; as all historians testify.
