THE
CRY OF THE CHRISTIAN MARTYRS
John saw in heaven under the altar, the souls of those Christian Martyrs, who had been slain for the word of GOD and for the testimony they held (namely that Jesus Christ over a period of more than two thousand years redeemed and saved their souls from everlasting damnation in the lake of fire! This is the destination for all of those who did not acknowledge the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour).
And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”
“Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed”.
(Rev. 6: 9 - 11)
This killing of their fellow servants and brethren, the “elect,” will be completed during the great tribulation period mentioned above.
These Martyrs, will finally (after the first resurrection), be united together in heaven, before the throne of GOD with Jesus and His Christian elect.
THE ELECT ARE CHOSEN
