AMPLIFIED 2015 | Revelation 6:16 and they called to the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne, and from the [righteous] wrath and indignation of the Lamb; [Is 2:19-21; Hos 10:8] |
Bible Question: Curious as to why the non-believers who are undergoing great stress with no relief in sight would make the reference "wrath of the Lamb." I thought that only Believers saw Christ as a Lamb and that non-believers saw Him as a Judge, Ruler or Harsh Dictator. Why call him Lamb? He is pouring out punishment on them, not saving them? |
Bible Answer: Hello MrWhy, In part the answer can found in the fact that Jesus both was and is the "Lamb of God". John the Baptist exclaimed in John 1:29, "Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!" (NASB) In Rev. 6:16, though the world (unbelievers) rejects Him, they still recognize Him!
