Revelation 9:6 Revelation 9:6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. By those days, we are to understand the time of their torment and trouble of conscience; by the terrors of the Almighty for their sins, as Psalms 38:1-3. A wounded spirit who can bear? \ Men shall seek death; that is, wish and desire to die, but all in vain, and to no purpose; for death shall flee from them; there will be no deliverance (one way or other) out of their trouble of conscience, and torment of their hearts; no cessation of misery, no mitigation of horror and torment during their appointed time.
