ISB ~ Revelation 6 v16

Fall on us … hide us:Cries of distress from those engulfed in the tribulation seizing the world. See note on Rev 3:10.

• These cries come from Hos 10:8, where the people of Samaria groan in travail over the violent destruction of their city. On one occasion, Jesus put Hosea’s words on the lips of those doomed to witness the overthrow of Jerusalem (Lk 23:28-30).
