Revelation 6.The Lamb opens the fifth seal. They rest for a little while longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brothers, who were to be killed as they were, should be completed.
And I saw the Lamb open one of the seven seals.
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 they had maintained.
They cried out with a loud voice,
“O Sovereign Lord, holy and true,
How long will you judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”
And white robes were given to each of them, and it was said to them, “Rest for a little while,
until the number of your fellow servants and your brethren, who should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.” I watched as he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake. The sun became black as sackcloth, and the moon became as blood.
The stars in the sky fell to the earth, as fig trees drop their unripe figs when shaken by a strong wind.
The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place.
For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?”
