[Re: Revelation 6:16]
They called out: Hide us from the wrath of the Lamb – People will dive for cover and most will survive, as they see this disaster approaching. The main mass of a CME takes 24 hours to arrive on earth. Isaiah 2:19, Isaiah 28:21-22, Jeremiah 25:38, Luke 23:30
Regarding Isaiah 2:19, note that the Day of the Lord in Isaiah 2:10-21 has to begin at the Lord Jesus Christ's future, Second Coming, not at the start of the future Tribulation of Revelation chapters 6 to 18 and Matthew 24. For during the second half of the Tribulation, it is Satan (the dragon) and his human son the Antichrist (the individual-man aspect of Revelation's "beast") who will be exalted by the world (Revelation 13:4-18, Revelation 12:9), not YHWH, which would contradict "YHWH alone shall be exalted in that day" (Isaiah 2:17).
Also, during the second half of the Tribulation, the world will worship the ultimate idol, the image of the Antichrist (Revelation 13:14-15), which would contradict that in that day "the idols he [YHWH] shall utterly abolish" (Isaiah 2:18).
So the people hiding in the rocks at Jesus Christ's future, Second Coming (Isaiah 2:19-21) has to be a separate instance from the people hiding in the rocks at one point during only the first stage of the future Tribulation (Revelation 6:15-16). It is not like people can hide in rocks only one time. Some people did it way back in 1 Samuel 13:6, for example. And Hosea 10:8b refers to the fall of Samaria in 722 BC (Hosea 10:7-8). And Luke 23:30 can include reference to the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD (Luke 23:28-30). So Revelation 6:16 can be just one more instance, years before Jesus' Second Coming in Isaiah 2:10-21, where "the glory of his majesty" is the same as in Matthew 24:30, at the Second Coming.

Regarding Isaiah 28:21-22, note that Isaiah 28:22b could refer to the destruction of Judah (Isaiah 28:14) by the Babylonians in 586 BC. For in Isaiah 28:22b the original Hebrew word (H0776) translated as the "earth" can be translated as the "land" (Isaiah 6:12).
-
Regarding Jeremiah 25:38, note that its context of Jeremiah 25:30-38 could refer to Jesus Christ's future, Second Coming. For compare the shout and treading of Jeremiah 25:30b with the Second-Coming shout and treading of 1 Thessalonians 4:16 and Revelation 19:15b. And compare the giving of the wicked to the sword in Jeremiah 25:31b with the Second-Coming giving of the wicked to the sword by Jesus Christ Himself in Revelation 19:21.

Regarding Luke 23:30, see the comment regarding it in post #140 above.

[Re: Revelation 6:17]
For the great Day of the Lord has come and who can stand? Deuteronomy 32:22, Ezekiel 7:7, Zephaniah 1:14-18, Joel 1:15.
See the "volcano" part of post #45 above for how the speakers of Revelation 6:17 could be mistaken.
Regarding Deuteronomy 32:22, see the comments regarding it in post #139 above.
Regarding Ezekiel 7:7, the original Hebrew word (H1906) translated as "the sounding again of" can mean "the shout". And the Hebrew word (H2022) translated as "the mountains" can mean just that; or, it can mean the "hills" (Isaiah 7:25). This could be figurative of leaders in Israel who have undergone promotion to high office. That is, its leaders will no longer shout in victory, for the land of Israel will be conquered and occupied by foreign forces.
Regarding Zephaniah 1:14-18, see the "Zephaniah 1:14" part of post #45 above.
Regarding Joel 1:15, note that it could refer to an ancient day of the Lord, like, for example, the ancient day of the Lord in Jeremiah 46:2,10. For Joel 1:15's context of Joel 1:18-20 could refer to an ancient, severe drought, and resulting wildfires, which affected the Israelites in their land.

[Re: Revelation 6:17]
This is the great Day of the Lord’s vengeance and wrath, prophesied over 100 times throughout the Bible, it is this terrible event that enables the establishment of a One World Government.
Note that the future Day of the Lord (Christ) (2 Thessalonians 2:2) will not begin until the Lord Jesus Christ's Second Coming (1 Corinthians 1:7-8; 2 Thessalonians 2:1-8; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10), which will not occur until Revelation 19:7 to 20:6, "immediately after" the future Tribulation of Revelation chapters 6 to 18 and Matthew 24 (Matthew 24:29-31; 2 Thessalonians 2:1-8), which is when the rapture (the gathering together) of the Church will occur (Matthew 24:29-31; 2 Thessalonians 2:1-8, Revelation 19:7 to 20:6).

But those who took heed of the warnings, Isaiah 26:20-21, took shelter and at the same time called to the Lord for protection, Acts 2:21, 1 Peter 1:5, Psalms 68:1-3, Joel 2:32 & 3:16 and will receive the great blessings the Lord has for His faithful Christian people.
Regarding Isaiah 26:20-21, see the comments regarding Isaiah 26:20 in post #139 above.
Regarding Acts 2:21, note that it, like Joel 2:32a, is a present reality for Christians (Romans 10:13), whether Jews or Gentiles (Romans 10:12).
Regarding 1 Peter 1:5, it refers to the "salvation ready to be revealed in the last time", which is ultimate salvation, as opposed to initial (current) salvation. Christians will obtain ultimate salvation only "if" they continue in the faith to the end (Hebrews 3:6,12,14, Colossians 1:23).
Regarding Psalms 68:1-3, it refers to what will happen at Jesus Christ's future, Second Coming (2 Thessalonians 1:7-10).
Regarding Joel 2:32 & 3:16, see the comments regarding Joel 2:32 above in this post. Joel 3 might refer to the Gog/Magog event after the future Millennium, and then blend into the subsequent New Earth and New Jerusalem.
