The Fifth Seal (Martyrs)
In the fifth seal Jesus gives those who were slain for the testimony of God a white robe and are told to wait a little longer.
Look For
● Nothing – This seal likely has no effects on earth.
Revelation 6:9-11
“When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. 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.”
It’s quite shocking that this early into the tribulation there are already many who have been killed for their faith. It really shows the reality that Christians likely won’t live long in the tribulation, especially the second half of it.
