Exegesis
The relative clause hou apo tou prosopou ephugen hē gē kai ho ouranos {οὗ ἀπὸ τοῦ προσώπου ἔφυγεν ἡ γῆ καὶ ὁ οὐρανός | hoû apó toû pro-só-pou é-phu-gen hē gê kaí ho ou-ra-nós} ties the sudden flight of earth and heaven directly to the presence of the seated One, with apo governing the causal genitive.
In context — Revelation 20:11
And I saw a great white throne and Him who was seated on it, from whose presence the earth and the heaven fled, and no place was found for them.
