7. “ And the kings of the earth, and the great men . . . said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne. . . . For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?"--6:15-16. This is a quotation from Hosea describing the men of high places--kings, nobles, warriors, captains and conquerors-- all of whom were to be humbled with men of low station, calling to the mountains for cover. In pronouncing doom on Jerusalem Jesus quoted Hosea 10:8, as recorded by Luke: “ Daughters of Jerusalem weep not for me but weep for your children. For behold the days are coming . . . they shall begin to say to the mountains ‘ Fall on us’ ; and to the hills ‘ cover us’ ."--(Luke 23:28-30) Since the quotation in 6:16 and Luke 23:30 are from the same prophecy of Hos 10:8, it is the Lord’ s own application of its fulfillment in those events surrounding the destruction of Jerusalem, and it is therefore solid evidence which cannot be controverted that the seals of Revelation are not now future.
