In ancient times, people often sought shelter in caves or rocky areas during times of danger, such as invasions or natural disasters. This imagery is used to convey the futility of trying to escape God's judgment. Similar imagery is found in <a href="/revelation/6-15.htm">Revelation 6:15-16</a>, where people hide in caves and among the rocks of the mountains, calling for them to fall on them to hide from the wrath of the Lamb.<p><b>and hide in the dust</b><br>Hiding in the dust implies a posture of humility and desperation. Dust is often associated with mortality and lowliness, as seen in <a href="/genesis/3-19.htm">Genesis 3:19</a>, where humanity is reminded, "for dust you are and to dust you will return." This phrase underscores the humbling of human pride before the divine presence. It also evokes the imagery of burial, suggesting that those who seek to hide are as good as dead in the face of God's judgment.<p><b>from the terror of the LORD</b><br>The "terror of the LORD" refers to the awe-inspiring and fearsome presence of God when He comes in judgment. Throughout the Old Testament, the fear of the LORD is a recurring theme, emphasizing His holiness and power. This terror is not merely fright but a profound reverence and recognition of God's absolute authority and righteousness. The Day of the LORD, a time of divine judgment, is often depicted as a day of terror for the wicked (<a href="/joel/2-11.htm">Joel 2:11</a>, <a href="/zephaniah/1-14.htm">Zephaniah 1:14-15</a>).<p><b>and the splendor of His majesty</b><br>The "splendor of His majesty" highlights the glorious and overwhelming presence of God. This phrase contrasts with human attempts to hide, emphasizing that God's majesty is inescapable and all-encompassing. The majesty of God is a theme throughout Scripture, pointing to His sovereign rule and the beauty of His holiness (<a href="/psalms/96-6.htm">Psalm 96:6</a>, <a href="/1_chronicles/29-11.htm">1 Chronicles 29:11</a>).
