Why won't wealthy people be able to hide by buying Caribbean islands before what is coming?
Wealthy people buying Caribbean islands as an escape will not be able to hide, because Scripture shows that in the coming wrath even kings, rich men, and mighty men hide in rock dens and beg the mountains to cover them from the face of the One on the throne. No island can conceal them.
Les explains that some of America's wealthiest people are beginning to see the handwriting on the wall and, like rats leaving a sinking ship, are buying property down in the Caribbean islands—some even a whole island—building what they hope will be a safe escape for what is to come. But he stresses that they cannot hide and will not be able to hide. The quoted passage pictures kings, great men, rich men, chief captains, mighty men, bondmen, and free men hiding in the dens of the rocks of the mountains and calling for the mountains and rocks to fall on them and hide them from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath. Les adds that Christendom has been lulled to sleep and avoids any mention of the wrath of God, but the book says that wrath is coming.
