Revelation 6:9-11

Revelation 6:9-11

‘...When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been put to death for proclaiming  the Word of God, that is, for bearing witness.  They cried out in a loud voice, “Sovereign Ruler, HaKadosh, the True One, how long will it be before you judge the people living on earth and avenge our blood?”  Each of them was given a white robe; and they were told to wait a little longer until the full number of their fellow-servants should be reached, of their brothers who would be killed, just as they had been...” These are probably the ‘Tribulation saints’(people who came to belief in Jesus after the Resurrection, during the ‘Tribulation’)

 

The Lord is gentle with his children, he has kept these special people in a place close to him, under his altar.  Like a hen who gathers the chicks beneath her wings.

 

This project is to be continued in the Winter of 2009.
