Revelation 6:10-11

10 They cried in a loud voice, O [Sovereign] Lord, holy and true, how long now before You will sit in judgment and avenge our blood upon those who dwell on the earth?

11 Then they were each given a long and flowing and festive white robe and told to rest and wait patiently a little while longer, until the number should be complete of their fellow servants and their brethren who were to be killed as they themselves had been. 

These chosen ones did not die from disease, pestilence, or drinking the bitter water; they died by being allowed to be murdered for the Kingdom of Heaven. They were killed for being used by the Holy Spirit to testify of Jesus and our Father’s Kingdom. Look at Stephen, John, Peter, and Paul when they were beaten and killed, and you will see the grace and power that they had while suffering. The Truth is that if our Father allows us to be sacrificed for our testimony of Jesus, He will anoint us with power to glory during it. So do not have to fear the idea of being martyred. If you are counted worthy to go through it, our Father’s yoke is still easy and His burden is still light, and He is still greater within us, than anything or any persecution that is in this world!

The white robes in verse 11 represent that these people are pure and that they were victorious. Also the Truth is that these souls are active, they are not sleeping. This shows us that when we die, we just don’t sleep until we are raised up at the last day. Our glory is that to be absent from the body is to be present with Christ, 2 Corinthians 5:8. These saints must still be souls, because they are told that they must wait until the rest of their brothers and sisters who are to be martyred have been killed. The dead have to be raised first and we are told that there are still more chosen ones of our Father to die.

Also notice that these witnesses are crying out for vengeance. We never see this with Jesus. When Jesus was killed, He cried out for the forgiveness of those who crucified Him. Stephen cried out for the forgiveness of those who stoned him. Peter and Paul witnessed to those who had beaten them and tortured them. But these saints, and since it is the souls of all who were killed, includes Stephen, Peter, and Paul, now cry out for vengeance, why? Well, look at what is happening during this time. Our Father has moved into pouring out His wrath. For thousands of years, He has let the earth go on, but now the full number of those who would be called and chosen to be the Bride of Christ is near. In the final days of this world, it is a time of our Father’s wrath to be poured out. He does this to purify everything. Our Father is in wrath mode during the end times and we will be as well! 

But the glorious Truth is that it is not wrath without love. It is wrath from love. It is just as with a child that needs corrected. I can become very angry with my kids, yet I always love them. I may discipline them for their actions, but the discipline is for their betterment. Grace is not absent during the end times. Anyone who has children knows what our Father is doing. The Truth is that everyone is God’s child, and He loves all of His kids. 


The revelation of people being guests for eternity allows us understand this Truth. People’s flesh is not who they are, it is our spirit’s that make us who we are. We have flesh, but it is our spirits that are eternal. Our Father may deal very harshly with our flesh, but it is for our sprits sake that He does it. Whatever our Father allows to happen to us in the flesh will benefit our spirits every time. All things, even our Father’s wrath, works out for our good. 

Our Father’s wrath during the end times is only for the wicked, not for His chosen ones. Remember that we are not appointed to wrath. We were chosen by our Father before the world was even created to enjoy His righteousness. We will be used to preach the Truth of the Gospel during this time, because there are still millions of chosen ones to be saved during the Great Tribulation. They may be killers, Paul was. They may be evil government workers, so was Matthew. But they have been chosen by our Father, they just need born again. So we will preach the Kingdom to every nation, tribe, and tongue! 

These are also a great verses to show that when our flesh dies, our spirits and souls still care about and intercede for our brothers and sisters in Christ. When we die we don’t just sleep, we loose the cares of the flesh and become closer to our Father and more powerful for the Kingdom. To die just means that we move into the next phase of life. We actually grow. This is why there is no fear in death.
