The Martyrs

When the Lamb broke the 5th seal, John saw the souls of the martyrs under the altar. They asked the Lord how long it would be until He would avenge their blood on the earth. The martyrs are with God being absent from their bodies, yet present with the Lord. Believers will receive a body without decay at the return of Jesus. The martyrs choose death over denial. Many will continue to fall away under threat of affliction rather than maintain their witness. The martyrs are promised justice. They are given robes and told to wait a while longer. God will eventually bring about judgment upon the earth for all who do not know God and do not obey the gospel. Have you believed in Jesus and do you hold fast to the Word of God and the testimony of salvation?
