When he opened
the fifth seal
I saw under the altar the souls
Slain for the word of God
And testimony they held
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?
Rest a little while longer, brethren |
Revelation
6:9-11 - And when he had opened
the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls
of them that were 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, dost thou not judge and avenge our
blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white
robes were given unto every one of them; and it
was said unto them, that they should rest yet for
a little season, until their fellowservants also
and their brethren, that should be killed as they
were, should be fulfilled. |
