ISB ~ Revelation 6 v17

who can stand:Standing is a sign of vindication on the Day of Judgment (Dan 12:13; Eph 6:13). The Lamb (Rev 5:6), the angels (7:11), and the saints (7:9) all appear in this posture in Revelation.

• Passages such as Nahum 1:6 and Mal 3:2 indicate that the question “Who can stand?” is rhetorical, implying that no sinner can hope to stand before the wrath of the divine Judge.
